A Little Slice of Italy in Temecula--Minus the Plane Ticket!
Campini's Fine Italian Deli is the closest you'll get to Italy without accidentally overpacking and arguing with TSA. The moment you walk in, that incredible "Grandma's-been-cooking-all-day" aroma hits you like a warm hug from a nonna who insists you're too skinny.
The panini? Out. Of. This. World. I'm convinced there's some kind of delicious sorcery happening in that kitchen. Their lineup of Italian sandwiches, cheeses, pastries, pasta, lasagna--basically everything you'd need for a proper carb-loaded life--is unreal.
They've even got wines and beers to make your meal feel fancy, and soft drinks for those of us pretending we're being "good." Seating inside is small but cozy, and if you need more elbow room to battle your sandwich, they've got outdoor picnic tables ready to go. Special orders and catering trays are available too--perfect for feeding a family, an office, or your inner food gremlin.
The staff is wonderful: patient, friendly, and happy to explain anything on the menu without judging how much you're drooling.
If you want authentic Italian flavor, amazing service, and a guaranteed good mood, Campini's is your new happy place. Buon appetito!
