DO NOT EAT HERE! After waiting over an hour for food we did not get what we ordered. 6 out of 8 of us had dishes with scallops in them. None of us got any scallops. When we questioned the waitress she basically said too bad, we're out. When we asked if we would be compensated for no scallops she became very rude and even said "what do you want me to do go to the acme." We asked to speak to the owner and she came out yelling & told us to leave if we were not happy. Unbelievable.

Well, my Mom and I ate there late on a Sunday night. Neither of us had ever been there before. I'm quite the connoisseur of Italian food. I must say the complimentary garlic bread was the best I've ever had - topped with fresh garlic and dripping with olive oil - fantastic! The bake ziti was fabulous and my mom had the rolled eggplant dish and loved it. I can't say enough about this dining experience. It was great from beginning to end. Our waiter was cute, funny, and accomodating. If I wasn't already attached, oh, and living in Utah - I would have liked to have taken him home for dessert!

Can't really talk much about the food because i never did get any. we arrived at 7:15, (we had reservations) were seated at 8pm and at 9:05, we left after being screamed at by the owners obnoxious daughter who told us that they were busy and it took so long because each entree was cooked to order!! Well guess what so is the food at olive garden and that staff is very nice and attentive. no food is that good that a customer should be ignored for over an hour and then admonished because you ask why the service is so poor. we weren't even asked if we wanted a drink. in this economy, this place should realize that people want to spend their money where they will be appreciated. perhaps they should invest in a traing program for their staff, starting with the daughter

The food is fine. The service is the pits. The bad reviews are justified in my opinion. I was waiting for take-out becuase the service is so bad. After arriving at the predetermined time, I waited for another complete 45 minutes before I asked for a refund (silly - already payed)of roughly $68. They declined and said they do not provide refunds. I was floored by the rude approach and lack of accountability, so, I continued asking for my money. Next thing you know, the owner comes out of the kitchen and says "I'll f*** kill you." and shoves me into the foyer area. The cops came thanks to someone in the restaurant calling. I found in discussing the situation with the police this is not the first time this has happened. Unreal.

We went to dinner with my 3 children and my parents. My wife ordered the chicken special and it arrived at out table the chicken was raw. The waitress said they would finish cooking the chicken, we informed the waitress that our plate was contaminated and that my wife would rather choose another item for her dinner. The waitress said, you will get what you ordered and my father will make you a new plate. We again requested another item for dinner and she refused. Unbelievable but true.

Forget any negative reviews. This place is outstanding. The food is excellent as is the service. Angela and her mother and father are happy, friendly people who make it a pleasure to dine here. If you enjoy good food and excellent service, you must come to Campagnola. Trust me.

Probably the one of the best restaurants I have ever been to. I have traveled the world and a small italian restaurant in Lansdale, PA is my favorite. The food is fantastic and very inexpensive. The garlic rolls are unreal:) The family who runs this place are great, very friendly and hard working. Disregard all negative comments and see for yourself, the best of the best.

Seriously, if I had seen these other reviews before I visited, I just wouldn't have. Good food in a restaurant is STRICTLY dependent on the service you recieve. Mother and Daughter at this restaurant were so rude I was appalled. I've been so flattered at other restaurants when the owner spoke to me. In this case I wish they hadn't. They fight with each other, they snipe at you, who wants that? It was more than annoying. The food is soooo good. But it doesn't make up for the poor attitude of the owners. I can't fathom the carelessness they treat their customers. Take my advice, go to any other Italian restaurant (even a chain like maggianos!) before you support mean people like this. I'm all for diversity and small business, but not at the expense of service. Terrible, simply Terrible.

This place is an enigma wrapped in a conundrum...on one hand the food is great and you get plenty for the costs. On the other, the service is so bad and the ownership so unreasonable they make you want to never go back!! Listen to this story...

I organize a dinner for my wife and a group of our friends (about 20 people total). We had a reservation for 7PM on a Friday night. Everyone arrives at 7PM to be seated...at 7:15 I go in and ask what the holdup is and am told the table will be ready soon. At 7:45 the natives are getting restless so I go back in again and am told again that the table is not ready. Not wanted to make a stink I just decide to open a few bottles of wine and have a cocktail party in their lobby while we wait. A few minutes later the owner comes out and tells me I can't drink in her lobby. I tell her too bad, that I have 20 guests that have been waiting patiently for an hour and if she doesn't want us to drink in her lobby then she should get us a table. At 8:30PM they FINALLY seat us.

I know this is long but it gets better. Everyone eats and has a good time, the food is fantastic but the service is average at best. About 25% of the orders come out wrong. Since we are starving at this point we just deal with it and eat what they gave us.

Now comes the fun part...dinner is over and I get the bill. In an effort to control costs and make it easier for the restaurant my wife and I had picked out a limited menu for our group. We knew going in that each person would cost no more than $20 with appetizers, dinner, dessert and coffee. When I get the bill each person is averaging over $30. When I question the waitress(the owner's daughter) & the owner I am told that groups are "Always priced higher" than small tables. I laugh and tell her that is unacceptable that it should be the other way around and she proceeds to go from speaking perfectly good english to pretending that she only speaks italian and she doesn't understand what I'm saying. Long story short I end up paying the bill that night telling them that I will be back the next day to go over the charges. They proceed to give me the runaround for over 2 weeks, every time I stopped by they were too busy or gone for the day. Finally I came during a dinner seating and refused to leave. After all of this crap they agreed to a flat rate of $20/person. Not bad but still more than $2/person more than it should have been.

BE CAREFUL IF YOU GO HERE!!!

Home cooking is what it's all about. If you want 5-minute food, go elsewhere. If you want good, flavorful food and a comfortable place to eat, this is it. Several of us had "to go" packages. We forgot one, went back in, but the table had been cleared. As we pulled out of the parking lot, a waitress came running out into the 18 degree temperatures, with our food. That's service!

The food is fantastic and portions are huge. I would give it 5 stars if it weren't for the service, which is just plain rude at times. Had a business lunch here and although everyone loved the food, they refuse to go back because of the attitude.

This restaurant is excellent. The complimentary rolls are covered with garlic and plenty of olive oil for dipping. This is a meal in itself. The portions are large and delicious. The specials are imaginative. You will definitely take food home.
