    Loved the attitude the minute we came in! Lovely people. Gave a suggestion on a place I could stop in town. Felt like I was stepping back up north....loved it. And they were cool with us ordering right before they closed. I will definitely be back.

    Came her for the first time tonight. I got the Chicago style Italian beef sandwich and my dad got the spaghetti and meatballs. You may be able to see, my dad ended up finishing my meal! I didn’t want him to miss out and I wanted to try more. The owner was extremely kind and checked in on us as we ate to make sure we were enjoying our meals. 10/10 would recommend.

    Listen, if you're looking for a real bite this place has what you are looking for. Since it was our first time, we were given a taste of their sliced beef on bun. I made a mistake not ordering this beef. Perfectly seasoned. Perfectly cooked. Perfect. That was followed up with a Brat on poppy seed bun and relish, peppers, onions, a pickle on the sideline. It was an absolute smash. Absolute no joke at all. If you don't know what you are in the mood for, I can promise you that you will be in the mood for this.

    This was my first experience with Chicago style food. I must say, It was awesome! Another Google local guide visited here and gave a 5 star review. Needless to say, I had to try them. And, I agree!! My wife had the Italian beef, and I had the Combo Sammich. For desert, we both had the Canoli. The owners and staff are super friendly. The dining room is small but not cramped. The atmosphere is pleasant. You can dine in, carry out, or use Uber Eats. We returned 3 nights later to try their pizza. Their regular pizza is not listed on the marquee menu, but only on their website. It can be requested at the counter. Ours was thin crust, 14 inch supreme. It was sliced into 3" finger food squares. It was super delicious! I can't wait for our next visit. I leave the 5 star review intact!

    We came for our vaccines next door and ended up going to this place for a quick grab and go . And this place didn’t disappoint a bit . A nice small casual restaurant with good service overall . We got the french onion soup and the italian sausage sandwich.Both were really good A little pricey maybe for the quantity they give but the taste was solid . Highly recommended if you are in the area

    Food was good. I got the Mama's Italian beef, wet with hot peppers. I would order it again but get the gravy on the side. My boyfriend got the stuffed shells and a Chicago dog. He said both were great! The real star of the place was the gentlemen working the register. I wish I would have gotten his name to give him proper credit. He was very friendly from the second we walked in. He was very patient with our group of 5, which included 3 very indecisive teens. He gave friendly banter while we ordered and made sure to stop by the table to see how everything was once or food came out.

    Campione's Taste of Chicago is a legit Chicago style beef and hot dog restaurant. I'm a Chicago who has eaten Italian Beef sandwiches my whole life. This place got it right. The hot dogs are delicious as well. I highly recommend is you want an authentic experience to go stop in and try one. The owner is cool too.

    All of the qualities of a phenomenal Chicago style pizza. In all the years we have lived outside of IL we have always laughed when people describe “good pizza” but Campione’s is it. We cried tears of joy after the first bite. The staff is fantastic and we instantly felt like we have been coming here for years. Absolutely our go to spot for pizza, beef, hot dogs, literally anything they make. 100/10.

    Campione's in Gallatin is like a slice of Chicago right here in Tennessee! It's a super cool place for family meals, and the Chicago-style decor feel makes it extra special. The food is amazing and in my opinion it's even better than Portillos Hot Dogs! They've got Chicago Style Hot Dogs, Italian beef sandwiches, Cannolis, Polish Sausage, Pizza and more. It all tastes like the real deal. What makes Campione's awesome is the sports vibe. The walls are covered in cool sports memorabilia, making it feel like you're in a Chicago sports paradise. It's not just a place to eat, it's like a mini trip to Chicago. My kids were asking me to describe who each athlete was on the wall. It always led back to how Chicago is superior to Green Bay in every way. If you're into Chicago food, sports, and a cozy setting, Campiones is the spot. We'll be back many more times than I'd like to admit. Hope you expand throughout TN!

    A taste of home!!! If you are from Chicago and want a good Chicago beef sandwich, hot dog, cheese fries.....this is your place. So tasty, so good. The owners are awesome people and the place is all decked in Chicago decor!! Go BEARS!!! Just check the hours before you go because this place is family owned and operated and runs on family time...depending if they may close early for their own family events. I love that too!!! Awesome place. Do not miss it if you truly want a taste of Chicago!!!!

    Came in for the first time today (7/23/22). I asked the gentleman what he thought was the best, he said the Italian Beef (it's the number one) Got mine with spicy peppers instead of sweet. OMG!! So delicious!! The atmosphere is awesome, the food is amazing!!, and the staff are funny and kind! 10/10. P.S. No ketchup on the hot dogs!

    Seriously my favorite place to get lunch on the go. I work across the street at center stage and they come in clutch on my long lesson days! The BEST chicken salad on a croissant I've ever had. Literally. I've also had their sliced meat sandwich, meatball sub, and fries and they are SOOOOO GOOD! Everyone go here!

    We were greeted by the owner and we seated ourselves in the well lit comfortable seating area. We placed our orders at the counter and were able to ask the owner about the menu items. He was very accommodating and brought us all a sample of their signature Chicago Style Italian beef to try. It was amazing by the way! We all order different pastas with a meatball and an Italian Beef Sammich. We were all very happy with the portions and the meatballs were delicious. The Italian beef was plentiful and the side of fries were great. No ketchup allowed on the Chicago hotdogs though unless you're under the age of 17!! How much fun. We are all anxious to get back to The Original Campiones Chicago Style Food to try another menu items! Also Mrs. Campione has homemade caramel & white chocolate apples with nuts and candy and cinnamon sugar and chocolate chips covering them. They're a great price for a huge caramel & white chocolate chip sprinkled apple. Yummy!! P. S. The marinara sauce was excellent too!!

    Nothing tops this place for true Chicago flavors. The staff is awesome and the ambiance makes you feel like you just walked into a place in Chicago. The catering is perfect for any event. We hosted a party of 60 and every single person loved it!

    Wow! I am so glad I found this place. I was totally craving a taste of home. This place did not disappoint. Best Chicago dogs I have had period. I will definitely be back soon. 👌🏼

    On 08/20/22, at about 5:20 pm, I order a number 4 meal ( Combination) and a small order of fries at 401 Long Hollow Pike Suite 104, Goodlettsville, TN 37072. The Italian beef and fries were great , but the sausage was old and extremely hard. I couldn't eat it. A Caucasian male wearing a Cubs shirt took my order. A tall male with curly hair handed me my order. I was the black male, medium complexion, wearing a light blue shirt. No one should never have to pick through their food to extract the good from the bad after spending almost $20.00 I submitted a complaint online weeks ago. No one ever reach out to me.

    Great Chicago style cuisine! The must try is the Italian beef sandwich. Get the Mommas, wet with half spicy and half sweet peppers. I shorted it one star because I find their Goodlettsville location to be a bit better. The beef is more tender, and the fries are crispier. Just my opinion. It is NOT cheap. For a combo you will run about $20, but it is good! The staff at both locations are amazing!

    I was here for the first time tonight and was completely blown away by the pizza. I talked with the owner for a bit, they have been in Gallatin since 2008, and it's a family owned and run business. The pizza dough and sauce are made fresh in house daily and they use quality ingredients to make their pizzas. I haven't had the Italian beef sandwich which they are famous for, but it was amazing on pizza! I will certainly be back to try more of the Chicago eats in the near future! Highly recommend!

    Loved the place!! Living in IL for close to 30 years and moving to middle TN we have definitely missed real deal Chicago style food. I got the Italian beef with Mozz cheese and had it kissed in the sauce which was awesome but I think next time I'll get it fully dipped. Also had to of course get a Chicago dog and it was true all the way down to the relish. Awesome place and I even got flack for wearing my STL cardinals shirt which I assumed I would.

    I’m always skeptical of Chicago food outside of Chicago but this places passes the test. The beef dipped hot, the cheese fries, and the pizza puff all brought me home. Can’t wait to come back and try the pizza. Great Chicago feel to the restaurant as well.

  • 5/5 Jim B. 2 years ago on Google
    I may not be a Chicago native but I know great food and the Italian Beef at Campione's is amazing! Not only that, the staff is super courteous, the place is clean, well lit and decorated to reflect it's Windy City roots. The location may be tucked away but it's worth finding them! Go there asap!
