With a farmhouse vibe and an emphasis on cocktails, Campagne House has opened in Bethpage in what had been Who-Ville Bar & Grill.

It’s a new restaurant from Don Schiavetta, originally from Bethpage, who moved back from San Francisco to focus on a local spot in his hometown.

Campagne House — pronounced “campaign” — seats nearly 40 in the bar and lounge area and 60 in the dining room, where there’s a working fireplace with a stone hearth. There’s also a patio with seating for 30 that will open within the next couple of weeks.

Miguel Berrios, former head chef at The Grill Room in Hauppauge, runs the kitchen. He has put together a menu of bar food classics as well as Mexican- or Asian-inspired plates such as duck tostadas or satay ($10 to $15).

One-pots are a menu standout, with mussel, clams or meatballs and sausage, served in a steel pot for sharing. The more comprehensive side of the menu includes salads ($8 to $15), entrees ($10 to $28) and pasta ($18 to $23).

The name of the restaurant is inspired by Schiavetta’s grandfather, who is also the namesake for one of the Bethpage elementary schools.

“I wanted the name to mean something to the community,” he said. “And I want people to feel at home here.”

Campagne House is located at 339 Broadway in Bethpage, 516-261-9300, campagnehouse.com
