A spotlight from Downtown Livingston
Campione
Three friends, an 8,000-person town, and a New York Times Top 50 restaurant
We just wanted to separate ourselves and be a little bit more open to following our inspiration.

Three friends and a general store
Jeffrey Galli, Josh Adams, and Anthony Sferra — three friends with a combined half-century in hospitality — opened Campione in August 2020 inside a former general store on Livingston's Main Street.
In 2023 the New York Times named it one of the 50 best restaurants in America, an unlikely nod for a town of 8,000 on the Yellowstone.
Italy, filtered through Paradise Valley
The trio built Campione on a plainly Italian premise — only the finest ingredients — then localized it to a few-hundred-mile radius of the Paradise Valley.
Galli says the point of the room was always to give themselves permission to follow inspiration rather than a concept deck.
Livingston, at the north gate
Livingston is the old railroad town at the north gate of Yellowstone — a place of writers, ranchers, and fly guides — and Campione lives at its literal center on Main.
The former general store bones show in the tin ceiling and the front-window light that spills across the bar all evening.
