Learn about how Campione's came to be known as Nashville's Original Italian Beef sandwich!

About Us:

Founded in 2008 by “Mama” Debbie and her husband Rob, the Campione family embarked on a mission to share our rich, unmistakable recipes of Chicago style food with the Nashville area. Inspired by our Chicago roots and Italian heritage, we named the restaurant after our Grandma Campione, ensuring each dish embodies true family tradition. Campione's Taste of Chicago is more than just a restaurant—it's a family legacy rooted in the flavors and traditions of Chicago’s culinary classics.
