La Campania is located outside of Boston in Waltham. Their website states, "While our cooking borrows from this heritage it can also be described in a unique style as Gourmet Italian. Our chef John Maione was a student at Johnson and Wales University in Rhode Island and worked for several years at the Aujourd'hui Restaurant in the Four Seasons in Boston. Accordingly, there are influences of French cooking, particularly in the dessert arena. In fact, the French southern coast of Provence is quite similar in culture, architecture, and food to that of its Italian neighbor." La Campania strives to offer their customers fresh and innovative cuisine with a rustic Italian twist. The restaurant calls to mind a Greek taverna or rustic Italian restaurant with its cozy brick interior, exposed kitchen, and homey atmosphere. It's very busy on weekend evenings as it has been consistently lauded by Zagat and is something of a destination dining locale for Boston area cognoscenti.

Ever popular with suburbanites and in-the-know gourmands, this secretive Waltham hot spot churns out exceptional Italian fare. Diners sit in close quarters--the restaurant can get quite noisy when packed--to get a taste of the open kitchen's award-winning fare. The handsome, well-stocked bar is a perfect place for a romantic date. Knowledgeable, jeans-clad servers add to the casual atmosphere.

The eclectically decorated bar area, filled with bison heads and colorful license plates, is popular with locals for watching sports. There are two dining rooms--one contains an open grill that fills the restaurant with a sweet, smoky aroma, while the other is brighter and quieter. Fill up on real southern ribs and enter meat heaven. Yeehaw, man.
