WTF took us so long? Campanile Writers' Soup Kitchen

By Ritz Bites   Feb 05, 2008

It's February and week I've-lost-count of the WGA Strike. For a while now, Mark Peel has graciously offered the Writers' Soup Kitchen at Campanile featuring prix fixe dinners on Wednesday for $18. The special isn't exclusively for writers only; merely... FULL REVIEW

Campanile

By LA & OC Foodie   May 08, 2007

Before Nancy Silverton came into fame in Pizzeria Mozza, some of us know her as the partner and bonafide bread-o-phile of the once-rustic and now-everywhere La Brea Bakery (which also exploded into popularity and expanded into a coast-to-coast love affair with bread) and the pastry chef of its adjacent restaurant, Campanile. So, after being basically 'wow'ed out of my mind with my Mozza experience, I decided to take a trip to Campanile to discover its origins and to taste the creations of Mark Peel, who has been running this place since it opened in 1989. Incidentally, he himself was a pastry chef at Alice Waters' Chez Panisse, before... FULL REVIEW

Campanile

Haven't had the chance to try the dinner and Monday night tasting menu at the popular (and expensive) Campanile so we tried their Sunday brunch first. It's nice that we got a table at the courtyard area with sky windows. The space was originally built to be Chaplin's office. FULL REVIEW

Sunny Sunday Brunch: Campanile

By Erin's Kitchen   Mar 19, 2006

Sunlight is an essential ingredient for a splendid Sunday brunch. Whether you're nursing a hangover or have already been up for hours, streaming sunlight makes you feel so healthy and lovely that you can ignore the fact that you're lazily wasting the late morning/early afternoon away drinking coffee and eating fancified (aka more expensive) breakfast items.

Campanile Wednesday Tasting Menu

By Ritz Bites   Mar 24, 2005

The IM discussion follows most Wednesday afternoon Campanile Tasting Menu e-mail announcements. Morgan and I chat about which items sound most exciting, which are too out there, the overall allure of the evening's assembly of dishes dictated by the Santa Monica farmers' market selection. Still we'd never taken the plunge. Yesterday the menu was sent out later than usual, but our response was immediate. FULL REVIEW

Ciao, Baby!

By Ritz Bites   Jan 04, 2005

Charlotte Pearl is evolving into a most excellent chow baby. We wouldn't expect anything less, yet the range of this 18-month-old's palette is turning out to be ever-surprising and defying of conventional wisdom. In addition to the regular baby/toddler mild staples of bananas etc., she uninhibitedly devours lemon wedges (rind included), chilies, mushrooms, whole marinated garlic cloves, and other wildly intense flavors.

Three Cheers for Cheese

By Ritz Bites   Nov 12, 2004

The 45-minute projected table wait was mercifully and inexplicably shortened to about five minutes at Campanile's Grilled Cheese Night. Nicky, Chandi and I dug into plates of oozing dairy delights at a cozy corner table in the bar. Less glam than the big room but always pleasant. FULL REVIEW

Campanile

By Rate A Restaurant   May 19, 2003

Oh, the complex flavors of these sandwiches melting away at your mouth! And no, Mike didn't eat a rabbit. Welsh rarebit is that rare bit of good food meaning melted cheese on toast or crackers. The side arugula salad was light and simple and the french fries were very yummy. FULL REVIEW
