Campagnolo is one of the new breeds of Italian restaurant that aims to bring fresh, light Italian fare back to Toronto. Located near Dundas and Bathurst, the wrap-around windows (a previously life as a Coffee Time) offers a view into clean, simple set-up of minimal adornment.

| Spaghetti All'Amatriciana |

Saturday night, I ordered the Roasted Bone Marrow with Oxtail and Plum Marmalade ($13) as an appetizer and House-Made Spaghetti
All’Amatriciana ($18) as my main course. The marrow, scooped out of the bone, and deposited on cracker-like toasted bread was incredibly fatty and rich. This is not something you'd want to eat frequently. The oxtail added a darker, iron-rich taste to the dish. The fresh basil and plum sauce lightened up each bite.
The spaghetti was excellent: toothsome and perfectly al dente. The sauce was deep and flavourful, coating each strand with glistening tomato goodness, not too sweet. This was a nicely executed pasta dish and surprisingly substantial.
I don't usually indulge in drinks (more money for food) but tonight I had a phil collins ($12) and a gin martini ($11).
