What’s Clean
At Campo Enoteca, the fish is wild-caught, most of the beef is 100% grass-fed, and the pork is pasture-raised and supplemented with non-GMO grains. Most of the produce is local and either certified organic or organically grown. Just about everything is scratch-made including the pasta, bread, sauces, dressings, and desserts. Local sourcing dominates with the goal being to source within a 150-mile radius of its restaurant.
What’s Served
For starters, the menu offers small bites, antipasti, charcuterie boards, and specialty cheeses. Entrees include traditional Italian fare, Salads, Paninis, Pizzas, a Steak option, a Vegan dish, a few Chicken plates, and a Seafood entree.
What I Ordered
I ordered the Polpetti from the antipasti menu and a mixed greens salad. House-made bread was brought to the table with an amazing three-cheese and olive oil dipping sauce. Local fresh greens, crunchy cuke slices, diced tomatoes, and thinly sliced red onions proved to be the perfect canvas for their amazing scratch-made Prosecco dressing. Made with 100% grass-fed beef, pastured non-GMO pork, and a house cream sauce infused with wild mushrooms, the Polpetti was to die for. The meatballs were moist and perfectly spiced while the rich mushroom cream sauce was drool-worthy and irresistible, simply outstanding in every way.
The Vibe
Campo Enoteca is dimly lit with high tops and traditional table seating. The marble-topped bar takes center stage in this casual space. Outdoor seating is also provided along the front sidewalk in a sectioned area.
The Takeaway
What a surprise find in the heart of Manchester! Campo Enoteca serves scratch-made, amazingly delicious farm to table dishes. With so many clean ingredients used in their kitchen creations, you’ll find it easy to eat clean at Campo Enoteca. As of summer 2020, Campo’s sister restaurant Republic has joined them, literally, and now share the Campo Enoteca space. Republic serves farm to table fare with a Mediterranean twist. Now you have the best farm to table choices in Manchester under a single roof. Bravo!
