Campiello is high class without being snobby, as are the waitstaff. Bond in his tuxedo might feel a little overdressed, but everyone else, from the blue jeaned to the all in black, fits right in. On the menu the crackly thin-crusted pizzas make for stunning appetizers, the salads are solid, and the entrées (especially the pastas and the rotisserie meats) are absolutely top drawer. The Eden Prairie location is open for lunch and dinner Monday through Friday, and dinner only on weekends.
