Campagnolo Roma - East Vancouver Eats

It's not often that I'm introduced to a new restaurant that really intrigues me to return within 1 week.  When a friend suggested a restaurant in my old neighborhood that just opened recently it was decided to try it out for our group outing.  Not much to look at in that the restaurant seats maybe 35 people it's charming warmth was very welcoming. 

The menu was short and sweet but supplemented with a fresh board of the day's specials.  We had no problem in choosing where to start as none of us had ever had a whipped ricotta.  Gently whipped ricotta seasoned with lemon juice and zest topped with fresh cracked pepper and olive oil, served with a house made rustic loaf.  Worth every mouthful we quickly finished and moved on to the eggplant bruschetta.  It did not disappoint and before we knew it our appies were done!  Pasta al dente, hand stretched pizza and pasta that would make your Nonna jealous.  We probably should have stopped there but when you have a honey panna cotta and tiramisu that tastes like Heaven in  your mouth why would you? 

Friendly and helpful the staff didn't complain that we lingered over coffee.  An experience that led to a couple of more visits over the next couple of weeks and I'm pleased to say that each visit was a pleasant and tasty as the first!  Go see for yourself if you don't believe me.
