Campari House, Melbourne CBD by Bureaucrat

Hardware Lane is a bit of a gamble. There are some great places along Hardware Lane but then there are all the touristy trap-y places where touters try to lure you into parting your money for their over-priced, kinda-average quality food.  With no real place in mind for dinner, Ms G and I took a chance on Campari House.  I had some internal reservations about the place, as it looked kinda tourist trap-y.  Plus, I was more intrigued with the nearby Korean restaurant where diners mix up their food with their disposable gloved hands.

But my fears were dashed when the food came out.  The food was real good.  Ms G ordered a goats cheese ravioli dish ($25) which was served with brown butter sauce, sage and lots of toasted pine nuts.

I ordered a gorgeous wood-fired pizza.  A crispy thin crust that was loaded with meatball, fresh basil, fior di latte and sweet roasted peppers ($22).  It was absolutely delish.

Verdict

We really liked it.

Overall

Pretty tasty food here.  Service is friendly and prompt.  The only thing that will make me think twice about going back is that it is a wee pricey.
