Overall excellent except table was right next to loudspeaker for vocalist so hard to converse.

Loved the vibe of the place. The service was excellent. Food was great.

We had a wonderful evening at Via Campanella. The duck and steak were cooked to perfection and the sauces were so flavoursome and delicious. Excellent service and atmosphere. Really enjoyed the live music. We'll definitely be back.

Had a great night. Food excellent and loved the service and the musicians.

Great service, food was amazing! Couldn’t fault the steak and sauces

Food was delicious and the service was excellent. I would definitely recommend.

This is a restaurant with a wonderfully-authentic Italian feel and ambience, which makes it very alluring. The service is professional and cheerful. It can be rather noisy, but convivial. Our recent dinner there was occasioned by very succulent and good food.

Booking at 7.30 ,Dog friendly,😀Staff were good, even though we sat outside they came out 4 times, it was obvious they didn’t think it through with extra staff considering Valentine’s night! Inside was packed! My friend was disappointed by the ‘trotta’, she was looking forward to it wasn’t trout but smoked salmon!, the gnocchi was so hot with chilli that it was inedible I think there was a mishap ,, my barramundi was good, my bruschetta was ok but 16$ for 2 small slices of ciabatta it wasn’t exceptional!, bottle of $50 wine ‘pecorino ‘was good however our main came out at 9.45 very late so we were slightly over!, the patrons Nxt to us seemed to score well , they got their meals before us , even though they came 1 hour later I’m not sure what the maître d, was doing?, a few couples left ,not a great experience, just short of $200, not worth the trouble! won’t be going back!

Liked it because good Italian style decor and staff and service. Food very authentic and of good quality. In short I’ll be back again and bring my friends .

Excellent service and very friendly staff. Food was also excellent. Very wide variety to choose from. One of the best Italian restaurants I’ve been to in Australia.

Very comfortable banquettes in the garden room at the back and much quieter than the front with more room. Lovely vivacious Italian staff and delicious food, good wine list. On Valentine's Day it was frantically busy and we waited ages for our food, but that was the only downside. Will return when it is a quieter night.

We dined here for Valentine's dinner. Food delicious, atmosphere great, and quick service on a busy night from excellent and attentive staff. My Italian partner was in raptures over the delicious pasta. Will definitely return there soon. Bravo!

Food delicious service great. Authentic Italian food with a great choice of Italian cuisine. Staff were happy to change menu to suit dietary recquirements. The Italian vegetarian pasta with capers and chilli was so tasty.

Great service, great food, truly authentic Italian experience. It was a fabulous way to celebrate mums birthday! I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants a great night out

hello V>C> I am hoping 6 is the top marks I can give.. whenever we want a nice night out- we return to Villa Campanella. I believe the city has some very nice restaurants, but we like to support local businesses. Recently we took some very good friends there: they had not heard of it: now they too will return. The staff are super friendly. The specials are alaways inviting. Food itself is delicious. And my husband and I love a glass of Montepulciano which he could not find in Italy on our last trip. I know it is hard to believe, but we stayed at some fancy properties. Try a glass of red next time and you too will be swayed to have it every time. Thanks for asking me to send thru a review. Look forward to our next visit . .

Fabulous food and ambience my fave was the salt and pepper squid. Staff are really fabulous and smiling faces which is often lacking these days.

Sit outside on a lovely warm night and enjoy fabulous food and great service traditional food and a large variety we love this place easy parking as well Ciao

Food is very good. Traditional Italian food. Winner this place. It the cheapest but very good. Will keep going back for sure. Good atmosphere also

Very happy with the dining experience last night.The food was great and there is a very good wine list too. Also a lovely decor and atmosphere.

Excellent food and service beautiful ambience cannot Waite to return My main dish veal escalopes was nicer that I have had anywhere in Sicily keep up the good work

Wonderful food complimented with brilliant friendly service. We all enjoyed the pasta and fish, the wine selection by the glass or bottle and of course an extensive range of local and imported beers

My partner and I were celebrating our anniversary, and the staff went above and beyond for us! Was so lovely, delicious food, and beautiful night!

We had such a nice time, the food was amazing the staff so lovely and the ambiance perfect! Highly recommend. The Vitelli Sorrentina was sensational!

Delicious food and friendly, professional service. The place was absolutely packed for a Wednesday night, which is almost unheard of in Elsternwick! We will definitely be back.

As always (a family favourite) absolutely superb food and exceptional service. Wonderful atmosphere. Our little piece of Italy in Elsternwick and we'll be back soon!

Service was great and food was delicious . Will recommend to family and friends Will go back again, look forward to the new menu in January

great food, cheerful staff, TOO noisy , on a Saturday night it is impossible to have a conversation which is a shame because all our meals were delicious, the veal piccante was especially tasty

Friendly staff, great service, great variety of food. Loved the atmosphere & Italian music. We had a great night and can’t wait for our next visit.

via Campanella is a lovely Italian local restaurant in Elsternwick where we had an enjoyable Sunday night dinner with friends. Food was delicious, lovely ambience and friendly staff.

excellent Italian family type restaurant. staff very friendly and food very good at a good medium price. a little noisy but good atmosphere and easy parking

Highly recommended! Delicious food, great prices and excellent service. Staff are lovely and very accommodating. Restaurant has a great atmosphere and interior fitout. Very comfortable place to enjoy authentic Italian cuisine.

Food is excellent and very authentic Italian. Staff were also amazing and very helpful and attentive without being intrusive. My guest was Italian and she absolutely loved it.

Booked for dinner. Up on arrival we waited at the entrance inside the restaurant for several minutes and were completely ignored by all staff, except when we were asked to move out of the way. Following this welcome we left.

We love it here and it’s a great addition to Elsternwick’s restaurant scene! Food and service are both consistently wonderful and we have already been here many times!

Via Campanella provides good Italian food in an authentic atmosphere. The highlight of the dinner was the pan fried rockling fillets and the desert affogato.

A little disappointed with the duck as it was a bit too dry for the quality i have experienced previously here. the service was good and the staff were very friendly and attentive.

We enjoyed the food but it was far too long in coming. The service was very good and the ambience is great. Overall a very nice restaurant.

Enjoyed a truly delicious dinner here, wonderful ambiance and wonderful attentive and warm service. Looking forward to coming back again! Generous serves and good produce.

What a great restaurant to find & it’s local. The staff were amazing, all so friendly & easy, the menu had so many choices & the meals that we chose were all delicious. It was my husbands birthday & they even came out with sparklers & singing to cap off a wonderful evening. Definitely will come again. Thanks
