Today, Campisi's Downtown still makes its famous pizza (you can even build your own if you like), and also serves up a huge array of pasta dishes, salads, appetizers and entrées. For dessert, try the tiramisu or Italian cream cake. There's something for every taste at Campisi's downtown, so bring the family and enjoy delicious beef, veal, chicken and seafood dishes (and pizza!) all made in the traditional Italian style.

The service, ambience and food were all exquisite. My wife and I were 15 minutes late and they were able to accommodate us. Upon arrival we were greeted with friendly smiles and promptly seated. Our server was knowledgeable and down to earth. Speed of service relating to the food was adequate for the time of year (Valentines day weekend). Overall, we had a great time and will come back.

Service was quick, courteous and stayed aware of our timing to get to a show at the Majestic down the street. The food, as always, was great - the artichoke appetizer is delish!

Great time. Small but intimate, good view and ambiance was relaxing but there were a lot of police there (not your regular type of security)?
