It is a beautiful setting, on the water. The interior is elegant, not overwhelming. The food is tasty and reasonably priced and the wait staff neither ignores nor over checks. They are wonderful.

This was my second time at Pastavino and we had such a great time. We went with two small children and the staff was very accommodating. The food and drinks were delicious. We had the focaccia, fried calamari, branzino, and chicken parm.

Huguenot

About the restaurant

Campania Coal Fired Pizza specializes in exactly what its name implies: delicious pizza cooked in a coal oven to produce a unique smoky texture to the crust and toppings. This special method of cooking pizza imparts certain flavors that simply can't be replicated by using a wood burning stove or other method of heating. Diners simply need to taste for themselves the difference Campania's incredibly hot coal-fired grill makes Campania's pizza menu comes with a build-your-own pizza option as well as several signature house recipes. Some of the delicious pizzas diners can try out are the Margherita, Buffalo Chicken and the Calabrese with tomato sauce, hot soppressata, mozzarella, pecorino romano and basil. If guests aren't in the mood for pizza they can also order one of the sandwiches like the chicken parmigiana or the Napoli with grilled chicken, mozzarella and a made-from-scratch pesto sauce.

The service was wonderful. The food was delicious. My husband's skirt steak was cooked perfectly and I really enjoyed the crab and shrimp scampi. The meatballs were some of the best I ever had, they melted in my mouth. Would definitely go back.
