Went down and checked out Conde Nasts' pick for best restaurant in Canada tonight.
Definitely worth the walk on the wild side aka. the east side of Main street just before Terminal Ave.
If you can find the Ivanhoe Hotel, then you can find Campagnolo.
Lovely decor, exceptional service ( thanks Amanda ) and a solid rustic menu inspired by the Piedmont and Emiglia-Romagna regions of Italy, it will certainly not make you feel like you're eating in East Van..and if you're own with continuing your "european" escape through the eastern boroughs, check out Le Faux Bourgeois at Fraser and Kingsway for a classic French treat.
Lovely meals at both places, which always makes me a happy camper ( and no I am not going camping for the Labor Day weekend )
