I’ve been meaning to go to Camillo’s Café at the Princeton Shopping Center for a while now. It always looks inviting when I go past, which is often, but it’s usually when I’m running an errand or doing something else.
I finally made a special trip to the shopping center with lunch at Camillo’s in mind. You should stop reading this, right now, and go there for lunch or dinner. Seriously. It’s that good.
Okay, so if you’re still reading, I’m going to assume you’ve just come back. Great, wasn’t it? The service is attentive but unhurried, perfect for a business lunch where you want good food and time to chat, or a romantic weekend or evening meal.
I enjoyed an eggplant panini that was spectacular. The salads looked great, and to be candid, I’m not really a salad kind of guy. I’m also not the kind of guy who raves about pasta, but this was, well, it was wonderful.
If you haven’t been to Camillo’s, you should go and enjoy a memorable meal. Check them out online at www.camilloscafe.com.
