The Bauer Bash headlines his review of North Beach's new Campanula with the phrase "underwhelming food." Jon and Rebecca Rader—the "respected operators" behind Frascati, over the hill—have fallen victim to "North Beach malaise" with this new small plates restaurant. (The same affliction plagued Joe Manzare and his now-closed Joey & Eddie's.) Beef Bolognese is "overly subdued," fritto misto "wasn't worth the calories" and "too sweet" cocktails languish unnoticed on the table. "The best dish was the braised osso buco," but Bauer can still only muster 1.5 stars. [Chron]
