The search is over. Lower Main now has a great lunch spot. Campagnolo Restaurant, newly-opened by award-winning Fuel Restaurant team Tom Doughty, Robert Belcham and Tim Pittman, debuts its lunch menu.

“There really isn’t another top notch spot to go for lunch in the area,” says owner Tom Doughty. “We’re excited to offer the neighbourhood’s residents and people who work, or just come to play in the area, something fresh and satisfying. Italian-style.”

Campagnolo’s warm and inviting open-seat dining room and wine bar make it the right choice for pretty much anyone looking for lunch. Singles can cozy up to the bar—just as friendly as Fuel’s—and groups of any size fit comfortably in the buzzing dining room. Quick, casual and comfortable, Campagnolo works for everyone: from business lunches and ladies who lunch, to friends catching up.

The menu reflects Executive Chef Robert Belcham and Chef de Cuisine Alvin Pillay’s commitment to using only the finest ingredients in simple, authentic dishes inspired by the Piedmont and Emiglia-Romagna regions of Italy. Dishes include Borlotti & Smoked Ham Hock Soup, Pork Ragu Tagliarani, and a selection of open faced Italian sandwiches (see full menu below). “We want to stick to what we’re really good at, and the focus on simple but fine Italian food,” says Belcham. “The lunch menu is a reflection of that.”

Campagnolo buzzes with activity and laughter. Though spacious and open, the atmosphere is warm and intimate in the 65-seat open dining room and beautiful, 25-seat wine bar. Campagnolo serves affordable, casual Italian dining in a warm and welcoming space. Campagnolo is open for lunch seven days a week from 11:30am – 2:30pm, and dinner nightly from 5pm. Seating is available on a first come first serve basis, and reservations are available only for parties of eight or more. Campagnolo is located at 1020 Main Street, Vancouver BC.
