We love to eat, tried to get a reservation at la campagnia, but they have no availability. Any suggestions as where to eat near Waltham/Brandeis Univ? Nothing too casual. thanks! Tue Nov 03 18:29:45 -0800 2009 1091597 bostonfoodz 1 5153892 Il Capriccio on Main St. in Waltham. Short drive from Brandeis, good food, nice wine list. Tue Nov 03 19:24:10 -0800 2009 5153777 51989 bartleby 2 5154242 Not at the same level as La or Il, but Tempo on Moody St. and Elephant Walk on Maine St. are also good.

Lemon Mousse with candied lemon peel is great. Never had a bad meal there.
