In addition to Raquel Guerras review, " At that point it was approximately 7:40 p.m. I then asked if we could simply be seated in the upstairs area that had allegedly been vacated. Rather than offering a solution, the staff member said she could provide recommendations for other restaurants. To make matters worse, when we asked to speak with the general manager, we were informed that she had abruptly quit. I have attached the email stating that the restaurant was closed to reservations due to a "private buyout." The entire experience was disorganized, misleading, and incredibly frustrating. From six unanswered emails, to conflicting explanations, to being moved after ordering food and drinks, there seemed to be little regard for customer service or accountability. If you choose to dine here, I would not count on your reservation being honored, nor would I expect to be treated with much respect when problems arise.I attempted to book this Fredericksburg restaurant two months in advance, but the experience was chaotic from the very beginning. I emailed the general manager six separate times and never received a response. After weeks of waiting, I resorted to sending her a direct message on Instagram just to get an answer. Before doing that, I called the restaurant to ask when I might hear back, given the six unanswered emails. I was told they could provide the general manager's number, only to be given the restaurant's own phone number again. Eventually, another member of our group called and was told that a party of 27 had rented out the entire restaurant. We were informed that when that happens, all existing reservations are canceled and no new reservations can be made. However, we were told patio seating would still be available for our group. When we arrived, our party of eight was seated inside in a private room. Naturally, we assumed the alleged full buyout had either been canceled or changed, allowing us to be accommodated indoors. We ordered drinks and appetizers and had already begun settling in when we were suddenly told we had to move because they had seated "the wrong Katelyn." According to the staff, there was another Katelyn with a party of eight at 7:30 p.m., while our reservation was for 7:15 p.m. We were then directed to the patio, where they attempted to seat eight people at a table designed for six. We were told there were no other tables available because everything else was booked. This explanation made little sense given that our original reservation had supposedly been canceled due to a private buyout of the entire restaurant. What made the situation even more confusing was that the restaurant clearly did not appear to be hosting a single private event. Some guests were dressed casually in T-shirts, others were dressed up, and many appeared to be seated as separate parties of two or four. When I pointed this out, I was told the private party had "just left."

My husband and I were excited to try this restaurant this evening, but unfortunately the experience was disappointing. After being seated and given water, we waited over 15 minutes without a server ever stopping by to greet us, take a drink order, or acknowledge the table.

The restaurant was not very busy at the time, which made the lack of service even more surprising. We understand delays can happen, but at this price point we expected at least basic attentiveness or communication. After waiting with no interaction, we up and left.

The food here is decent Italian. The Lobster ravioli was the first time I've had a lobster ravioli without lobster in it. It was just a stuffed ravioli with the lobster sprinkled on top. The scallop risotto and the tiramisu were both good. But the experience was marred before we even sat down. Alla Campagna called two hours before our confirmed reservation to tell us they no longer had our time slot because they now close at 9pm on weeknights. When I pointed out that their website, their Tock reservation page, and their Google listing all still showed the reservation time as valid, the response was that they hadn't had time to update their information on those pages. We had to cut a prior activity short to make an earlier time work. Running a reservation system means honoring the information you put in front of guests. The food doesn't make up for that kind of operational carelessness on the day of for something scheduled more than 30 days before.

My partner and I had the wild boar ragú and the lobster ravioli and let me tell you both were amazing. Best lobster ravioli I have ever had and usually I’m use to boar being a little more tough but this time it was falling apart. The service was also impeccable and the staff was very friendly and attentive. I had the mezcal drink I can’t remember the name but that was also amazing. 10/10 plan on definitely making my way back here to try other dishes!!!!

We were lucky to get in (but, it was a Monday). Always try to get reservations in advance. The service was amazing - as was the food. We ordered the burata and shrimp linguine and it was enough food for two of us. Highly recommend the burata! Fantastic experience.

I wish we remembered to take photos when we came. But once our food came to our table it was gone. The food was delicious! We got the bruschetta and the bucatini al pesto pasta dish. Our server Noah was very accommodating and gave all of the best suggestions for food choices. We will definitely be going back again when we go to Fredericksburg!

Went here tonight with my boyfriend for my birthday and had a really amazing experience! I had the wild boar ragu and my boyfriend order a regular cheese pizza. The Ragu was the best I’ve ever had it was delicious!!! The cheese pizza was only okay and the meatball appetizer was really good. I would definitely come here again!!!

Jennifer was amazing! She was so accommodating and gave great recommendations. We were a large party with a lot of opinions. She was so incredibly kind, hilarious, and made our evening! The fresh pasta was the best and we’re still talking about the gnocchi.

Quaint little place with great food and even better service, there wasn't a dish on their menu that our party did not enjoy.

The servers and wait staff are amazing. They were able to seat us pretty quickly without a reservation, which was impressive. Despite being busy, I never felt rushed or neglected. Staff is very attentive. They turned out pretty quickly and provided prompt service. My favorite part was waitress Jennifer. She recommended we visit Alla Campagna while working at their sister restaurant Ottos. She was such a delight and so sweet while we were there. Food was pretty bland and the portions small.

10/10 looks cute IS cute. Spent our one year anniversary here just because it looked cute online but we LOVED our entire experience. From getting help choosing our wine to the actual food itself - amazing service and great food. Noah, Belinda, and Veronica were great! We’re thankful for this experience as our first anniversary together and we will be back next year for sure!

We were recommended to try the tiramisu here which was okay. Not the best but not store bought.
The inside was beautifully decorated but very cramped and loud (both the people and the music were a bit overwhelming).

We were there in what seemed like prime time so this could have contributed the lack luster experience but the restaurant definitely seemed understaffed (because the waiters were running around and the receptionist seemed very stressed and kept disappearing to the back when there were people waiting to be checked in.)

Though they were sweet, they forgot about our to go order so we waited for our tiramisu for about 20 minutes before I went to the front to ask about it.

Maybe it would be a great place on a slower night but there are other places in Fredericksburg that I would recommend first.

Very nice Italian restaurant. The decoration inside is cute and very cozy. We liked the style. There was no wait time, but I can see that it gets busy later in the evening.
The grilled calamari was too much charred for my liking. But the lobster ravioli and wild boar pasta were delicious.

Y’all this place is fabulous! IGNORE THE FOOLISH ONE STAR REVIEWS PLEASE! This place SHOULD be at five stars EASILY

My husband and I travel a lot, both domestically and over seas. We have eaten a lot of good and not so good food, this place is GREAT!

The atmosphere is charming and relaxed, even when completely full we still felt very relaxed. The quality of the food is fabulous! The flavor of each dish we ordered was mouth watering, the portion sizing was absolutely perfect! No togo boxes we ate it ALL from appetizers all the way to dessert!

Service was amazing as well, we were comfortably accommodated by our server without being crowded or feeling bothered. She was funny and enjoyable and very considerate.

This is truly delicious Italian inspired food in a charming setting with quality service

We will be returning with plenty of company next time to show this place to everyone we know!

Birthday dinner on a Friday night. Damien, our server was very attentive and full of recommendations for our group. All his recommendations are spot on and I was happy with my pork chop. The chicken dish was also spectacular. My friend who ordered the seafood pasta dish was delish! Yum

Our server was Alejandro and he was great! Very attentive and had great recommendation for our wine selection. For appetizer we had the roasted garlic & ricotta meatballs, and for entree I had the wild boar pasta bolognese and my husband had the bucatini. The meatballs were great but I thought it would come with a scope of homemade ricotta on the dish so I was a little disappointed there. The bolognese was good but needed a little more seasoning but the bucatini was amazing!! If we go back I will surely get the bucatini and try out the pizza they looked great too!

Lets get down to business. The thing about Fredericksburg is that the turn around is so fast. That most restaurants just serve sub par food at a market up price. A real shame. HOWEVER! Alla Campagna is a true kitchen restaurant with a menu that is in a class of its own. I had the Linguine Con Gamberi. My son had the Ragu Papardelle. Both were absolutely amazing, a true breath of fresh air for Main Street. You do have to have a reservation, however ask to sit on the patio... as long as it's open you'll have a table. You can sit at the bar, but don't bet on that. It's a small inside restaurant. The outside was a much better space and more family oriented for larger tables. I really enjoyed the dinner and the staff.. definitely a must on Main Street.

Food was amazing! Atmosphere was really cozy. Place is always busy so make sure to make a reservation to end up on a table if not, you will be like me… I had to eat at the bar but still had a great time! Service was on point. Will be back soon for sure!

Alla Campagna is amazing Italian! The food was very delicious, the atmosphere was perfect and the waitstaff was wonderful! We had the margarita pizza and added sausage as well as the tortellini, which it was evident that the shells were made in-house because they tasted so delicious. I didn’t even get to try them because my husband ate them all!
We also had Peach Bellinis and thought they were great! The perfect amount of sweet, bubbly and barley tart. You won’t regret going here!
