We had a business dinner here as my colleague had been here before mentioning it was a legendary place. I was extremely disappointed with my pasta plater with meatballs, lasagna and ravioli. The sauce tasted as if no condiments were added at all. Lasagna was extremely chewy. Adding tons of pepper, salt and parmesan cheese was necessary to make it ok. I was too hungry from an early flight to order something else. Atmosphere was nice and all the staff were extremely nice. Pizza seems like the right choice to order here to play it safe as it looked great.

This was the best Italian food I’ve eaten in Dallas. It he pizza was delicious with a perfect crispness in the crust! The lasagna was also phenomenal. We finished off with Tiramisu and it was perfect! The atmosphere was jazzy and dim-lit with so much history in the air. We made the best choice for Friday night dinner! Go to Campisi’s!

Such a cool moody restaurant. The playlist, wait time, and food is excellent. We ordered apps and entrees. Honestly we were stuffed by the time the entrees came out. Fantastic portions and quick waiters.

Place has really fallen off, idk if they got a change in ownership or a new cook. But the pasta tastes off, and the Alfredo is worse than the buttered noodles and parm my little sister made for me at the age of 8. I wouldn't feed these leftovers to my dog if I had one. Also my waitress didn't offer to top my coffee off till I was standing to leave. Every time I came to Dallas as a kid to visit my family I would beg to come to The Great Campisis, and it breaks my heart to say those days are long gone.
