Unlike a previous reviewer's experience, mine was a fabulous first impression. Based on that review posted only one week prior... to my visit, I was worried I'd find a dirty restaurant with slow service and inattentive staff. But I found a clean restaurant,welcoming staff and immediate service. My waitress, Meredith had an excellent recommendation and seemed proud of herrestaurant's offerings. It is clear that the manager cares how her guest's experience is. Meredith brought me the managersbusiness card apologizing she wasn't able to personally greet me and get my feedback today. Deejah, you run a fine restaurant! The food is delicious! I look forward to visiting again next time I pass through Springfield ???? Read more

Where do I begin, I have been dining at this restaurant for at least 22 years and my first impression was with my wife and that... of a medium-high to high end restaurant on the West End of Springfield that had great food, service, a wonderful environment anda very clean establishment. Those days are long gone. I ate with my family there today and was thoroughly disgusted. Thefilthiness of the tables and floors as we walked into the restaurant was unbelievable. And I mean the whole of the restaurantfloors were filthy. I will not go into details, just see the pictures attached. Staff was standing around and not attempting toclean the tables or floors. There was a manager on staff and she stepped over a napkin and did not direct staff to clean up ortry to clean it herself. The chicken in my pasta was charred, dry and chewy. The same with my wife's. My daughter's meatballswere very average and weren't seasoned very well. However, the sauce on the meals was good and the pasta was cooked just right. The rest of the meals, other than the Caesar salad, was very underwhelming. I rarely beat up on restaurant staff, because Iknow they often try very hard, but this is very unacceptable for any restaurant. Especially for one that has been a staple onthe West End for many years. My family and I will not be going back! Read more

Appetizer calamari was fairly decent no flavor but sauce spicy, bread & oil good and both entrees (lasagna & ravioli with dried... tomatoes & spinach) were delicious & filling. Highly recommended. Need to try out their desserts on next visit. Read more

Excellent staff, courteous, efficient, friendly, and hardworking. They all are a team. Delicious soups, salads, wine list, and... this time we had chicken entrees. Fried raviolis were tasty too. Read more

Five stars! Best restaurant I’ve been to in Springfield so far. Connery was a great server. The ambiance was nice. Food was... delicious with very fair prices and big portions. The toasted ravioli was absolutely delicious. I got the lasagna, as othershave said it was a little on the salty side but I enjoyed it. Cesar salads had a little too much dressing on it for my taste butwere still really good - the anchovies on top were a nice touch. The lady got the bourbon pecan crusted white fish. It’s a newmenu item, I wasn’t crazy about it but she liked it. I felt like it needed some sort of sauce on top. Either way, we willdefinitely be back to try their other menu options. Highly recommend this place! Read more
