Via Campanella Cucina & Bar

Amazing food and service. Great variety and excellent wine list. The roast duck is beautiful. The Calamari was light and soft. The desserts were lovely. Will be back.

Great Vibe. Staff were very helpful and attentive Very broad food and wine list. A bit noisy when full but a very enjoyable dining experience.

Service Excellent. Food very good. However, the noise level was over the top. Even our waitress had trouble taking our order because she couldn't hear us.

Can’t rate this place highly enough. It was like being back in Italy! Excellent food, drinks and service! Will definitely be back again and again!

Delicious food in a beautiful restaurant with a wonderful atmosphere. Sticky chai tea a treat. Portions do big we had no room for dessert, maybe next time!

I tell everyone about the excellent food and drink at Via Campanella. Outstanding! Have bought most of my friends and fam here and even posted photos to facebook.

What a gem of a place! The atmosphere is so cosy... you feel like visiting family or close friends. Staff is extremely pleasant and the food is to die for! Highly recommended!!!

The food was excellent and the staff were friendly. Just a suggestion to improve the experience it would be great if they had a carafe of water on the table as we had to frequently ask for a refill before it occurred.

Food and service was excellent and the decor is very nice. There was a live duo playing music . Overall it was a great night out.

Good atmosphere and lovely staff. Restaurant was busy but service was still great and food came out in a reasonable time. Would definitely eat here again.

We arrived to a warm and inviting welcome for Father's day and were immediately shown to our table. Through the evening we enjoyed the wonderful authentic southern Italian cuisine, comfortable dining, good wine and great service. Thank you

Food was excellent however service was very slow. We had to flag people down several Times. Plates were not left on the table for our shared entree, no water offered. We would return to try them again as it was a busy day.

Great décor and atmosphere. Staff very attentive, warm and obliging. Good menu and wine list. Food prices just a bit too high to encourage dining more regularly.

Great spot for the family on a Sunday evening - food is excellent, and wine choices good too. The service was cheerful, and the place was reasonably priced.

Good atmosphere , service and food contributed to a most enjoyable evening.A wide and interesting menu at reasonable prices.It was great to hear live music played at soft noise level.

Instantly welcomed by staff, who were warm and engaging throughout the night. The food was absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere was wonderful. We will be returning as soon as we can.

The ambience of the rear room is not nearly as welcoming as the main restaurant however the food was a generous and tasty as ever

Lovely, cosy atmosphere. Attentive, friendly staff. Delicious Italian food. We enjoyed sitting in the Lounge. This is our second visit and we are looking forward to experiencing this excellent Restaurant again soon.

This is excellent Italian food in a great ambience. I am always looking for the perfect eggplant parmigiana and have found it here. (I go to Italy every year and strangely, I have rarely found one as good there.)

the charcuterie platter was very good, with a mixture of hot and cold items

always enjoy it here. the duck special is always good

We had a fabulous night celebrating my husband’s birthday! The food was divine and the waitering staff were professional, personal and attentive. Loved it! We

Very nice venue however one of the main courses, a fish dish was badly over cooked changing the rating from a five to a three

Lovely service, delicious food. Closed courtyard for the winter with heating was much appreciated by the patrons. Will definitely go again. I Recommend it highly.

White table cloths, good food and wine. Restaurant had a warm ambience about it but just felt like a sardine; far too many tables in the restaurant

A lovely authentic Italian in the suburbs. Food great. I eat mainly fish and was glad to find 3 or 4 choices. Will go back and try the rest.Definitely recommend

It was very pleasant evening - good food and nice music (very soft and elegant). Suggested Italian wine was spot on and complemented food very nicely.

Great Italian Experience with delightful staff and beautiful food. Their wine list is extensive which is a bonus. It is hard to find a place with this ambiance outside Italy.

Great service, venue and incredible food! Already looking forward to my next visit. I had the spaghetti gamberi, and the prawns, scallops and chili were fantastic! Just disappointed I didn't have room for more dishes!

We went on a Wednesday night with friends, not too busy. The food was excellent & delicious. Portion sizes were bigger than you get in most restaurants. The Mandarin crepes were outstanding. The staff were very friendly & attentive, & obviously well trained. We will definitely go again.

Probably really 4.5 Some choices we made from the menu were excellent but some a bit overpriced for what was on the plate. The service is attentive but not fast but as we were not in hurry that was OK. Friendly warm atmosphere. Will definitely return and try again

Food and service is wonderful. Upper end of price scale but well worth it. enjoyed our second experience here and will come back again and again.

Delicious Italian food. Beautifully presented. Busy lively restaurant, good service. Felt that some of the portions were small though. Delicious desserts and good coffee A very enjoyable evening!

Beautiful food and excellent service! This was my second visit to Via Campanella and it won’t be my last. This is my new favourite Italian restaurant

The ambience and service are excellent. The food is though, unfortunately, just average. We really wanted to enjoy this place but the food is just like all other cheaper pasta places in Glenhuntly road. At least its great to have a high class restaurant in Elsternwick as opposed to all the cheaper takeaways...

Nice casual restaurant with good food and service. It is a shame they add a surcharge for credit card use considering that it is almost universal.

Food was great, my Duck L'orange was excellent. My wife also enjoyed the Beef Stroganoff. Only drawback was that, when full, the restaurant is very noisy. Will definitely​ be back.

Fantastic food and service!!. We have been several times and always enjoy our meals. We have taken different friends and family when we’ve dined. A place everyone should tr.

Pleasant civilized ambience. The staff is friendly, helpful and attentive. The food is excellent, tasty and well presented. I particularly loved thr Italian Disaster Cake.

The food was fine, but the service was poor. Orders were misunderstood, we were ignored, no consistency in which wait staff served and reminders were needed.

The whole evening was just great. Food, decor, service and general ambience. We are already talking about a return visit. The place was buzzing and everyone was thoroughly enjoying themselves.

Lovely food and staff... very fortunate to be located within walking distance to home... great menu cannot wait to sample more dishes and will be visiting this restaurant again soon! !

Food and service was excellent. The live music was good but too loud, we could not hear each other talking. We would go back again, just on a night there was no music.

Great Italian place in Elsternwick. Will go back. Service is one of the best I have experienced for some time. Good and varied wine selection.

The food is hit and miss, some is very good some average. The service is not good we had to wait and ask for menus and for a drink orders the wait staff never came to the table to ask if we needed anything. We felt ignored. We were charged for desert we didn’t order. We may or may not go there again.

Once again we had a great evening at Via Campanella in Glenhuntly road. The Italian home style seafood pasta was delicious and the portion size just right for a main course.We each had salad and a glass of wine all for a very reasonable price. We have dined there six times since late December, and have never been disappointed. Great ambience and friendly staff always.

The whole ambience was really wonderful. The waiters were all very attentive and very polite, The food was of a very high fine dining quality. It was a great experience.

Delicious food, great service, wonderful ambiance in this delightful Italian restaurant. Feels like you are in Italy! We will be back for sure! Thank you

Very enjoyable experience- food was excellent , service very good. Personal hygiene of one of the waiter’s needs to be addressed. Not pleasant around food. We will be back!

Great Food & service, went for my dads birthday, everyone enjoyed their meals & Music in the background. Desserts were amazing. Can’t wait for our next occasion.
