Dear Fork,
You made my weekend worthwhile. I loved going food hunting with you. You always make me feel so much better. Today, we got to go to Campo together. It was my second time here. I just love the vibe and food here so much.
Campo - downtown Reno, NV
Patio with river lookout.
Campo is an Italian restaurant located near the downtown river walk, which also gives you the river view from the patio. The simple wood and cement decor gives you the hip and contemporary feel.
The glass has the word 'Milk' all over in different languages.
Kale Salad - $9.50
What attracted me the most was their dessert, but let's talk about their food first because they were also delicious! One of the most popular menu at Campo is their Kale Salad. Simple, yet amazing. It features crispy grana padano cheese, lemon-garlic vinaigrette dressing, which gave it a hint of freshness. It's topped with poached egg, beautiful! #eatyourveggies
Campo Pizza - $17
Last time I got to try their pizza called Campo. When something is named after the restaurant, I had to try it, right?! Look how beautiful my pizza was. It has tomato (of course), mozzarella, sausage, salami and pancetta. For the love of egg, I had to add it on my pizza. #EGGCELLENT
Salumi Tasting - $22
Finally, I got to try their Salumi from Reno Provisions, yum! Salumi Tasting it is. It comes with six kinds of salumi.
- Prosciutto di San Danielle (imported Italian ham)
- Milano (red wine & garlic)
- Mortadella (pistachio studded)
- Coppa ( black pepper cured shoulder)
- Calabrese (red wine & chile flakes)
- Nduja (spicy, spreadable salami)
Salumi Tasting with burrata cheese.
There is also a Grand tasting, which comes with items above plus three cheese. I was actually craving for some burrata cheese, but they did not have any on the lunch menu. So I asked if it was possible to get it and they were so nice and managed to accommodate us promptly. Thank you so much, everything was delicious! My favorite was the prosciutto, Nduja and the Mortadella.
Gelato Cookie Sandwich - chocolate chip with strawberry gelato.
Here comes the best part of the meal...dessert time! Sorry, Fork, I forgot you for a sec. Their dessert is everything. We got two items, a House Made Gelato Cookie Sandwich, AKA my favorite kind of sandwich. :P A MUST MUST MUST order dessert is the most famous Caramel Budino. It is a layered dessert in a cup of vanilla pudding, chocolate wafer crunch, topped with salted caramel and whipped cream. The different textures made this dessert a to-die-for! SO GOOD!
Caramel Budino is THE BEST!
I can't wait to go back there again, of course with you. Thanks @camporeno, you're the best!
Love,
Spoon.
