Gilardi's - Springfield

Had a delicious meal to celebrate my birthday. Our waiter was excellent and very knowledgeable. Loved the fresh flavor of the salad and my cod was perfectly prepared. The ambiance is relaxing and I can’t wait to return when I’m in Springfield again.

My wife and I ate here tonight and loved it. It was the best food we have had dining out in Springfield in a long time. The chicken and veal were excellent. We will be back and tell others about you. Our server was superb as well.

Amazing!! : I made my reservation on Facebook and asked a bunch of questions since I was trying to plan my friend's birthday dinner and I had never been there before. They answered me on fb messenger promptly and politely every time : The place is so romantic and upscale and warm. Great atmosphere. It's a place you could impress your first date with, romance your wife, have a business lunch or have a birthday dinner party with your friends. the staff was great. everything was nice and fancy but not stuffy or uncomfortable. I also randomly asked if they could get a cheesecake before I got there for my friend and they just made it happen. sooooo convenient. The food was amazing. you can taste the quality and they have a great wine selection : I cannot express enough how lovely this place is and how they went out if their way to make our experience great : This is definitely a hidden gem. Thank you!!

First of all, look at that garden! You can tell that they care about the ingredients going into the food. For being smack-dab in the middle of town, they grow quite a bit of veggies and herbs that literally only have to travel (I counted the steps)30 to 50 feet to your plate. I could seriously go on and on about the wonderful, eco-friendly garden, but let 's get to the food... First of all, the service here is absolutely wonderful. I 'm not exactly a 'normal ' person and neither is my wife, but we were still treated like we were royalty. We chose to skip the antipasto and go straight to the soup since winter decided to pop back in. This soup was everything we could have asked for, good broth, red wined braised beef, new potatoes, fresh herbs, and just a bit of fresh black pepper. Great balance. Then the dinner... I need to find out where James gets his seafood because the mussels I had were full of the sea, the clams were nearly alive, the shrimp melted-in-mouth, with an absolutely delicious red cream sauce infused with rosemary. Then, the dessert:tirimisu. THERE IS NO OTHER PLACE!

Great service, wonderful atmosphere and food was fantastic! I had the Garden vegetable linguine and loved it. I would highly recommend.
