The Scene
Tucked into a corner just a few blocks from the Convention Center is Campanello's, a Cincinnati institution that continues to withstand the changing times and trends. Inside, there isn't much to look at--a small dining area with wood-paneled walls, a few framed photographs of family and local sports figures and politicians, and animated conversations around the bar. Most of the customers seem to be regulars, and they can be heard animatedly discussing current events.
The Food
The menu here consists of tried-and-true Italian favorites, like veal Marsala, eggplant Parmesan, chicken cacciatore, lasagna and good ol' spaghetti and meatballs. This is not the lighter, upscale Mario Batali-style Italian food, but rather the kind of hearty, homemade fare that conjures up images of Italian grandmas tending pots of tomato sauce. Portions are large, so that patrons will have to remember to leave room for spumoni ice cream or the luscious tiramisu.

The bu gs comment is a complete lie. This olive garden/ max and ermas fanatic must have somehow been offended by this great hole in the wall, family owned establishment, and wanted to scare off any future customers. If your looking for great, HOME MADE Italian, Campanellos is the only place to be!

This is by far one of the worst restaurants I have been too, and I am usually a very positive person. To our disappointment, we had a terrible experience.the guy is one of the rudest guys you would ever see. No customer service, nasty roachess in the restaurant I couldn't believe my eyes. Verdict - I am never going back there again.

Worst service we ever experienced! Waited in line for 20 min before the hostess told us they were not seating anyone without a reservation.
