Campari House - Melbourne

$20 lunch deal. Meal with glass of rather good house wine. I chose the creamy mushroom and pea pasta dish and was not disappointed. Served with fresh crusty bread and prompt friendly service. Nice atmosphere and really good value.

I went here for lunch and told the waiter that i was dairy free.I was told no problem at all. I was then served a meal which had dairy in it and was sick all weekend from this

Our swimming club held its presentation night in the function room on level 1 last night. We had about 40 people. The room was set up with 2 long dining tables, screen, projector and microphone.Waking up Hardware Lane, I probably would avoid Campari House as it looks like tourist trap restaurant with a spruiker, but I'm wrong!The stairway to Level is painted in a graffiti style which for mine didn't suit with the image of Campari as a chic aperitif at all. But that is just my opinion.The hand around appetisers were substantial- wonderful suppli (or arancini), grown up fish fingers, chicken skewers and goat cheese tarts were very tasty and there were ample- possibly too many actually.The alternatively-served mains were grilled barramundi fillet and steak. I had the barra and it was perfection. My partner said the steak was good too. The main came with a radicchio salad and crinkle cut chips. The chips appeared to be the type that comes frozen in a bag and weren't particularly good- a bit of let down.The desserts were a rhubarb and apple crumble pie and a chocolate fondant. I'm not a regular or very interested dessert eater, but I my partner and I had half of each dessert and they were superb. I would go back just to have a dessert!The drinks were reasonably priced, and I asked for a rose, which they didn't have upstairs but that was not a problem, the waitress just went downstairs ( or up, as there is a rooftop bar) and bought back a glass- So a bit plus for service too.The room was not overly interesting and had a fantastic view into a car park- but the food and service made it all worthwhile.Definitely a spot to have party or group dinner.Oh, and the folk who needed gluten free meals all said the food was wonderful too, including a delicious dessert

This is the perfect place to go if you are looking for a few casual drinks, they have lots to offer and the staff were more than willing to help.

Downstairs is a bright restaurant, and the colourful stairwell leads you to a dark mid floor bar and onto the nice roof top bar (with heaters). A great experience with friendly staff. Drinks were reasonably priced and the bar snack food was good value (we had the delicious pork belly and pizza).Thanks for the vote if you found this review helpful.
