Up from sydney for the weekend, spent the afternoon in the sun with beautiful cocktails and the best staff. They even helped us get into a restaurant that was also sensational ! Thanks for the awesome experience �
Pouring rain and didn't want to walk too far from William street... spotted this place and "hiked" upstairs for a quick Bloody Mary before our flight out of Melbourne.... Stayed for a bite and another drink. I wished we found this place on our first day... not our last!
The prawn pizza was easily the highlight of our night. Perfect moist saucy base with great marinara flavours. My favourite kind of pizza packs flavour and is filling without being heavy and this meets the desired criteria! These days pizzas are so heavy and dry so this made me really happy.
The marinara pasta was saucy and had good amounts of seafood. Yum! Probably my second favourite. the roast chicken tortellini was not bad with big pieces of tortellini. The magherita had good amount of sauce but flavouring was a little off.
Overall would recommend.
Campari House was a nice hidden gem on Hardware Lane. Décor was a little dated but the food was hard to fault. The market fish of the day with a medley of vegetables was fresh and delightful. The extremely generous portion of chicken was an explosion of flavour, however a bit on the saltier side.
All in all, it was nice meal on a hot summer's day. Don't forget to check out their rooftop bar!

Okay the Campari board was amazing I enjoyed everything on the board!
So worth it with zomato gold! will defs come back again
A perfect place to dine in on a cold Melbourne winter night.
For entrees we went with the Campari board, it was an excellent of selection of the Campari entrees.
For mains I ordered the pan fried gnocchi. The gnocchi was nice however it lacked a bit of flavour.
My friend ordered the slow roasted lamb shoulder, it was cooked to perfection but the potatoes were a bit bland.
Overall it was a great dining experience and service was friendly and attentive!
A fantastic dinner here before seeing a comedy show upstairs. The dishes were tasty and large enough to share together. We were running a bit late for the show so the team were nice enough to let us take the delicious dessert upstairs!
Pizza was really yummy and definitely filling would go back. Service was also good, staff was warm and friendly and checked up on us often to make sure our waters were filled and we were enjoying the food
Had the arancini and tagliatelle, both were very yummy, I would be happy to recommend both. I also found the service to be very friendly and attentive. Had a very nice time 😊
Great place for drinks, especially they have a nice rooftop area. I have dined there once and the food was okay but the customer service was amazing.
Loved the mini slider. The Wagyu beef I ordered was super cute! The ambience was good as well. Definitely coming back for more drinks.
Highly recommended
Many a late night drink has been had at Campari, up on the rooftop, over the years. However, finally a decision to have a civilised lunch during the day was made and Campari was the spot selected when another joint fell through.
It’s not an extensive menu at Campari, but what they do, they do well. It’s a typical modern Australian menu with a decent Italian influence. Pizzas were ordered by the majority on The Dear Luncher’s table and a fair bit of slice swapping took place to ensure maximum coverage. There was a San Danielle prosciutto pizza, a couple of the Pepperoni spicy salami and a spiced chicken. The Dear Luncher sampled the spiced chicken as well as the Pepperoni – and both were excellent. Just the right sort of sweet spot you get with a well-made pizza. Simple base, not overloaded with ingredients, not overly sloppy. High quality ingredients were used, very satisfying.
Some weirdo ordered a risotto. He seemed please with his decision.
The beer selection could be a little better, fairly mainstream for The Dear Luncher’s snobby tastes. However, this is a great venue for sitting outside on a warm day, excellent for people-watching.
