Vancouver Good

I am about to head out to Campagnolo Restaurant for a later dinner.

They restaurant has a lounge at the back where pizza and a beer are $12.50 after 9:30pm. I seem to regularly eat dinner after 9pm, so this is a deal for me!

I was at Campagnolo last week for snacks/drinks with my co-workers and the food made a great impression. Some highlights to entice you:

- Dry cured venison sausage – soooooo good. Campagnolo makes all their sausages in-house for themselves and their sister restaurant Fuel.
- The most amazing crispy chickpeas (ceci) ever. Like, ever. I was with 30+ men who only eat meat and they inhaled these chickpeas.
- Fresh pasta with an intense fennel sausage
- All the pizzas, which come on a crispy and chewy crust

One of the best things about Campagnolo is the affordable prices. Pizzas are 11-13 bucks. Mains run between 13-18 bucks. For the food you are getting, this a great deal.

Of course, maybe they can give us the good prices becuase the rent has to be cheap where the restaurant is located. It’s where you’d never guess a restaurant like this would be, down on the less trendy part of Main St. near the train station and the Ivanhoe Pub (which my coworkers say used to have a $2 steak dinner. hmm.).

Campagnolo recently won big at the Urban Diner Awards as well, proving that people will go anywhere for good food!

The restaurant only takes reservations for groups of 8 or more. Be prepared for a wait on the weekend.
