Many moons ago, a pizza guy named Dave met a pony-tailed server while slinging pies in Simsbury. The two married and started a restaurant named after the spunky waitress, "Camille's" in Tolland. Next, they called chef's baby brother Denny to help steer the ship and test the beers.

Thank you for 10 amazing years! This is our dream. Let's eat!

Owner   Camille

Camille comes from a long line of incredible hostesses. Her mother and grandmother never let anyone walk through their doors without offering food, drink, warmth, and conversation—and Camille has carried on that tradition. With a lifetime in service, she has hosted everything from corporate events to weddings and showers. When you visit, you might find yourself coming just as much for Camille as for the food.

 

Chef/Owner Dave

Dave has spent much of his life around pizza, working his way through kitchens all over Hartford County. His passion for food first sparked at Naple’s Pizza in Farmington and only deepened over the decades to follow. Along the way, he’s made stops at Luna’s, Harry’s, Frank Pepe’s, Mondo, and more. One of his favorite chapters was working alongside Chef Billy Grant at Bricco—years he still considers some of the most rewarding and inspiring of his career. All of those experiences now come together at Camille’s, where Dave pours his heart into creating not just great food, but a dining experience meant to be shared and remembered. Bears repeating…

GM Dennis

Dennis has been with Camille’s since day one, bringing his trademark charisma and enthusiasm to Tolland. A graduate of Temple University with a degree in entrepreneurship, he first cut his teeth in the restaurant world at South Edison in Montauk, NY, where he learned the value of attention to detail and a strong culture. Over the years, Dennis has grown from being known as the “beer guy” or the “cat with the shoes” into a proud dad who loves spending time with his kids and cooking for his wife. If you’re in the mood to talk wine or college basketball, he’s your guy!

Head Server Page

Our cherished server captain, Page has been with us for a handful of years and she still “stays gold.” Whether it’s cat photos or slices of pepperoni she’s always sharing something at the parlor. She has a literal zoo at home and keeps us animals in line at the shop. If you got a puppy, bring it by the patio for her inspection!
