Updated Italian-American “red sauce” cuisine meets the freshest local ingredients in this family-friendly neighborhood gem. Dinner, lunch, and weekend brunch are served on the year-round garden patio or in the lively dining room with its mix of cozy booths and banquettes. A love letter to the owner’s Brooklyn-born and raised Nonna, Campanella’s menu is classic East Coast Italian with some modern touches. Think New York-style pizza topped with Chicken Parm or “Mac & Peas” with house-made cavatelli. Vegetarian, gluten and dairy-free options, too. Full bar with craft and classic cocktails, local and Italian wines, and beers. The whole family will feel like they’re in the warm embrace of their hip grandma.

As guests at the Lodge, we thought it would just be an easy place to dine out - but it was the perfect place to celebrate 30 years of marriage. Everyone was so lovely, the view was spectacular -but the food was the star. Thank you so much for being part of our aniversary!

We had an outstanding server named Meghan, who made our entire dining experience very memorable. She was warm, friendly and had a great sense of humor. The food and ambiance was wonderful, but Meghan took things to a whole new level. We will definitely be coming back and hope Meghan will be there to greet us.
