Dine LA Restaurant Week Part 2: Campanile

Yummy! We went to Campanile last night , super Chef  Mark Peel’s  sophisticated Caliornia/Italian eatery housed in a former building once owned by Charlie Chaplin.

We love the place, and hadn’t been back in awhile.  When we heard Peel was participating in  Dine LA Restaurant Week we checked out the menu on line and made a rez on Open Table.

How could you go wrong for a three course dinner for $34. Richard had the ricotta gnocchi, pan roasted black  bass and pear cobbler. 

I did the grilled Tai snapper which is shown above and is out of this world-it was all dreamy good, I’m talking tasty, good.

Our waitress was a delight, but the wine list stymied me. I have a penchant for California Chards and the list is largely Italian selections of which we know very little. I ordered a Puglia Rose Guappo that was $9, it was okay. Richard had the Soave  for $10, small pours, too. But the food made up for the lapse. Still would hae been nice to wash it all down with a good wine.

When it’s not Restaurant Week, this place  can be get pretty pricey, so I highly recommend getting off your duff and making a rez since there are only a few days left,  this session ends tomorrow,  Jan. 28 with the second week going from January 30-Feb. 4.  As mentioned three course dinners are $34 and three course lunches $22.
