Veni Vidi Amavi: We came, we saw, we loved! Via Campanella Cucina + Bar is named after chef and owner Salvatore Gargiulo's ancestral home in Sorrento, Southern Italy, and according to chef Salvatore this is the heart of Italy, where history, culture, food and romance are celebrated. The owners wanted a space to reflect their tradition and passion for Italian food and wine. Our approach was to create an interior that felt inviting, romantic, textural and refined, by adding the right amount of warmth with a subtle nod to the past.
