Had dinner tonight at Campari (former Bacci's) and it was terrific. Lots of local folks came out for opening night. The food was wonderful and it's great to be able to sit down to a nice dinner without driving to Kenosha or Highwood!
You're talking my language! We used to go to Bacci's a lot -really enjoyed it.

Did they change the decor a great deal? Still an Italian menu?

I never even heard about this or would have went tonight. Smile

What did you have to eat? Mmmmmmm
They had a show menu last night so the menu was more limited than usual, but it is still Italian. I had the Chicken Marsala - which was the same or very close to the Chicken Marsala served at Bacci's. mmmmm. I recognized several other dishes offered on the menu as well. (One of the chefs had worked at Bacci's and I think he may be one of the owners now.)

The decor has changed a bit, but it is still warm and inviting. I particularly like the red walls. The staff was very attentive and accomodating.

One final plus - we did not need to feed the parking meters!!
Now I'm hungry. Is it strictly Italian? I'm tired of Pasta.

Wink Now here is a place we could go to lunch bd. Or do you still want to meet on Market Street?
Shoot, was this advertised anywhere? I would've loved to go to opening night!! Oh well, I'll still go down and check it out...thanks for the heads up on this one! I don't know where to go anymore about what's new in town, as our 'local' station is now 'national' and our newspaper still sucks. Thank God for this site!! Smile
Fedup--I'll meet you anywhere. (It has to be in the daytime as I have acquired night blindness) Driving, that is. (I figured I had to explain that because you would have blasted me on that one. :lol: Big Grin Smile
