Wonderful experience – we went for a steak dinner, definitely get your reservations early. The atmosphere was great, the host was fun to listen and talk to. The food was amazing and the wine list was fantastic. Easily the best filet mignon I’ve ever had.

What a wonderful evening! Great food and wine, and such a great guest vintner from Portugal (Viero de Sousa). I will be back and will be sharing my experience with those who enjoy good food and stories!

We had been looking for a local farm-to-table experience when we found Campo di Bella. Our first visit was a Saturday evening which consisted of a five course meal. Everything about the evening was exceptional. The first course was bruschetta, followed by a refreshing fresh salad with lemon dressing. The main course was flank steak, cooked perfectly. This was followed by a cheese board with delectable cheese samples from local dairies. For dessert, they had an absolutely amazing home made vanilla ice cream. It was rich, creamy, and very tasty.
We enjoyed it so much, that we immediately reserved a second dinner which had cider braised pork shoulder as the entree. Again, the meal was exceptional. It started with prosciutto wrapped cantaloupe. I’ve never had prosciutto sliced so thinly, it was tender and flavorful. This was followed by a butternut squash soup that was thick and rich. I didn’t know butternut squash could be so flavorful. I cleaned my bowl so thoroughly that the host jokingly asked if they forgot to serve me. The pork was next. Served with honey crisp apples. It was tender and perfectly juicy. Again, a cheese board was served before dessert. All very tasty local cheeses. For dessert, a French apple tart. I could have eaten a whole tray, it was so good.
I’ve now been there over 20 times. Every time has been exceptional.
They offer a variety of wines, ciders, and local beer to go with your meal. They also make their own vermouth which is sweet, with a hint of clove. It’s so good, in fact, that we had it on the rocks. Not mixed.
The host, Mary Ann, is wonderful. She takes time before each course to provide background on the home grown or locally sourced ingredients. She also gives a history of the farm and her family and, if the season permits, offers a tour of their farm. Marc (Mary Ann’s Husband) is the chef. He is a culinary wizard. As I mentioned, I’ve been back over 20 times, which equates to almost 80 different dishes. All of them amazing!
My only criticism (it’s a minor one) is that the room is small and cozy and it can get a bit loud inside. It depends on the crowd, but it can be a bit hard to carry a conversation.
In summary: exceptional food and exceptional people. I could not recommend it more.
Update: We’ve been coming back to Campo di Bella for the last 5 years. At least 60 times or more and we’ve never been disappointed. Marc and Mary Ann are incredible hosts that continue to create amazing meals and experiences.

My husband and I were visiting for the weekend and joined the 3 course dinner for our wedding anniversary. Each course was fresh, light, and flavorful. We enjoyed hearing about the farm and the ingredients for our meal. We could tell the owner was very passionate about food and providing a true farm to table experience. It was a beautiful and peaceful evening. Highly recommend!

Campo di Bella is a wonderful setting to enjoy Italian comfort food prepared with love. Soups, homemade pasta with incredible sauces and decadent desserts. They take great pride in using what they’ve grown or sourced from local producers. Love this place!

Phenomenal food, served by kind and friendly people. Also my table had a dog and cat hanging out by it, and we were sat on the porch watching the setting sun over the farm. Before anything was brought out, we were given an explanation of all the courses, as well as the philosophy behind both the farm and the restaurant, all of which increased our enjoyment dramatically.
Our first course was a zucchini confit, which was phenomenal, melting in my mouth and delighting all of the senses.
Next was a salad of sorts with pork and a sauce made from anchovies that was tantalizing. We then transitioned into the main course of pork sausage and chicken. Simple ingredients, prepared well beats crazy, fancy, and bad any day.
For dessert was a course of cheese and then a basil ice cream with biscotti, and olive oil drizzled over the top.
This evening was one of the best meals that I can remember having, made all the better by the environment and the company. I wish I had a photo of the food, but I was far too interested in the eating of it all.

I planned this trip many months in advance and it was very worth it! Excellent on all accounts. Food was delicious and fresh. Hospitality was wonderful. We loved learning about the farm and the communal aspect of its operation, with many contributing producers in the region. Gave us several more farms to check out! Already planning our next visit.

We discovered Campo di Bella in May after just moving to Middleton. My husband and I fell in love with the scenery and hospitality immediately. Then when we tasted Mary Ann and Marc’s own 2014 and 2015 wines we fell in love again! It didn’t take us long to realize we stumbled upon the place we were meant to have our Vow Renewal on our 3 year anniversary. Mary Ann worked with our needs and desires and organized a beautiful and memorable reception. Marc made amazing small plates for our guests and the wine we selected with Mary Ann’s help made our special afternoon perfect. I recommend Campo di Bella for your next event or visit to enjoy the view with a tasty wine in hand and farm fresh food in your belly.
