Our family relocated to the Nashville area in the early 2000's and after a number of years, Rob and Debbie Coxworth decided they couldn’t be the only ones missing their beloved Chicago based foods, such as: Italian Beef sandwiches, Chicago hot dogs, Pizza and Pasta dishes. So, in 2008, the family decided to bring our dream of providing authentic Chicago style Italian food to the “far south side” to life! As a tribute to their Italian heritage, Mama Debbie named the restaurant after her late grandmother, Grandma Campione. After all, if it isn’t granny in the kitchen, it’s not really Italian!
The restaurant has been passed down to Debbie's daughter Jessica and her husband Geoff in order to continue our family tradition of providing the most authentic Chicago style experience in all of Nashville!
We have won multiple "Best Of" awards over the years, including the Best Restaurant in Sumner County according to The Nashville Scene! We are the first and only restaurant in Tennessee to be inducted into the Vienna Beef Hotdog Hall of Fame. Come see for yourself why we're known as "Gallatin's Best Kept Secret!"
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...
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!!!
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...
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...
This place is fantastic! The Italian beef sandwiches are amazing! And so are the beef and fries with cheese! Words can't effectively describe how good it is! You must try it for yourself!
