Campo Modern Country Bistro

Thursday night we tried out Campo Modern Country Bistro in Oak Cliff. We have heard so much about this restaurant; we were excited to see what all of the hype was about. The restaurant is located inside of a remodeled home: the colors are light and bright, the furniture is modern and the entire space is sparkling clean. We loved the kitschy assortment of dishes, flatware, and dishes. We loved a lot about this place.

We were immediately greeted by our server, Kevin, who was knowledgeable and friendly. He brought us the house made bread, brushed with duck fat and sprinkled with gray sea salt, and a generous heap of butter. We would have been beyond thrilled if that was the only thing we had because it was pretty amazing.

We started with the cauliflower gratin served with grilled toast. This dip was creamy, topped with toasted buttery bread crumbs and was good with or without the toast. We definitely polished off the whole ramekin without shame.

Next, we moved onto the entree! We chose the English pea stuffed agnoletti. Served in a butter and mint sauce with a few petite slices of Speck and citrus shavings on top, this was a light dish that packed quite a taste punch. All of Campo's pasta is made in house and this particular dish was served al dente. The serving portion was perfect and the presentation was very pleasing.

We also ordered the sweet potato side dish topped with candied apricots and a brown butter sauce. The potatoes were silky smooth and the fruit topping made the dish flavors pop.

Everything that we had was so good, we had try the dessert. The white chocolate pound cake topped with milk chocolate and served with dark chocolate cookie sprinkles won our vote. Three dainty cakes were served on the platter with a few tarragon sprigs mixed in. The flavors all worked wonderfully, and we couldn't have been more pleased.

This new spot moves to the TOP of our list! The atmosphere was great, the food was top notch with their flavor melds, preparation, and presentation, and the wait staff could not have offered better service. We were blown away by our experience and look forward to many happy returns - including a try of their newly minted brunch menu. Thanks, Campo!
