  Love Campione’s! So far we have tried the Chicago dog, the Italian beef sandwich - baptized, with fries and today I tried the flatbread pizza. It is all delicious! It is hard to pick a favorite.They have a great variety. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

  I've never had an Italian beef before, but it was absolutely delicious with hot peppers and extra gravy. The Magnificent Mile polish sausage is also amazing. I plan on going back here regularly and would highly recommend! Can't wait to try more of the menu.

  Absolutely amazing, Friendly service. Extremely explanatory of what’s what. I had the Italian sausage sandwich with the Hot Giardiniera (amazing I might add). My wife had the the Brian. Which is a mix of tortellini and meatballs in marinara sauce(awesome). I can’t wait to go back and try one of everything. It was our first time and I’m so very thankful for the over the top kindness. So nice of y’all. Thank You!!

  Having lived in the Chicago area for most of my life, I was excited to hear about Campione’s Taste of Chicago! We’re we disappointed…although the Maxwell Polish sausage was great, the Italian beef sandwich was anything but! It was dry and had a processed texture and taste to it…similar to Arby’s beef sandwich! 😝 Plus the service was slow. Very disappointing compared to Buona Beef or Portillo’s, a couple of Chicago beef giants!

  Authentic Chicago flavor? More like a masterclass in missing the point. We dined in and ordered Mama Debbie’s Italian Beef (kissed) with fries, a Chicago Dog, and a Maxwell St. Polish. The “kissed” beef was flavorless and lukewarm — I’ve had more seasoning from hospital food. The fries were hard enough to chip a tooth, and the “kiss” clearly didn’t bless that beef with any flavor. The Maxwell Polish? A total identity crisis. It came with a pickle spear as a topping, which no true Chicagoan would ever do. It should’ve had grilled onions, yellow mustard, and maybe sport peppers — not a deli garnish sitting on top like an afterthought. Even the Chicago Dog showed up cold, which is pretty ironic considering the owner’s constant bragging about authenticity. Speaking of the owner — based on how he replies to reviewers, I’m sure he’ll jump in here to tell me I’m wrong, not “really from Chicago,” or that I don’t understand “how Italians talk.” Here’s the thing: authentic food doesn’t need a lecture or a family tree to defend it — it speaks for itself. And for all the talk about “real Chicago pizza,” maybe focus on serving a hot dog that’s actually hot before telling the world how many toppings you won’t allow on a pizza. Limiting toppings isn’t tradition — it’s just an excuse. In short: The only thing authentic here is the defensiveness.
