We were first timers, based on family recommendations we came for an early dinner at Bambino's. We…read moreenjoy old world-type traditional Italian cuisine and this met our expectations. No red & white checkered tablecloths and actually some very nice artwork adorning the walls gave us a subtle classy feel. The menu was pretty traditional and I chose the Ziti and my wife liked the Alfredo. Portions were very generous so we'll enjoy more tomorrow . We also had an excellent server. This is definitely a repeater for us!

We meet again, Bambinos on Battlefield. We had a ten-ish minute wait that evaporated quickly…read more Our bread was sliced thinly with olive and vinegar drizzled over garlic. To die for. Hubs had culinary goodness in the Diana. The creamy Alfredo, noodles, shrimp, and tender broccoli made it a meal for gods. I had the Zia as I did several years previously. It held the creamy Alfredo, chicken, and mushrooms there ever was. I am the tea drinker that should be given a small pitcher of unsweetened tea and a straw for any occasion. Our server was amazing-smiling, refilling our teas. She was 100% grace. I can say with absolute certainty that Bambinos remains one of our favorite Springfield "hometown" favs. Until next time, Bambinos!

We celebrated two birthdays here last night and Piccolo's did not disappoint! Kaylee, was our…read moreserver and she was truly a 10-star server! The manicotti with blush was excellent. The others had eggplant parmesan and said it was the best they had ever eaten. One ate Italian nachos and did not care for it, but she's often times disappointed with what she orders in restaurants. The bread sticks were right out of the oven and excellent. The salads were fresh and very good. The dressing was outstanding and one person in our group bought a big bottle of it to take home. The birthday ladies were gifted a dessert. We all tasted the amazing lemon cake and Tiramisu and both were delicious beyond words. Parking is right out front with easy access. Reservations are recommended. We ate early at 4pm when they opened on a weekday. Highly-recommend it, if you're one that dines early. They offer a separate room for big groups. I'll rate Piccolo's as the best dining experience in the Ozarks!

This was my second visit to Crave Mediterranean Cafe on Republic Road…read more Overall, it's a solid fast-casual experience -- not fine dining, but that's clearly not what they're aiming for. We spent about $40 for two people and had table service, which was a nice touch. Our waitress was very friendly and had a great attitude, though it seemed like she might have been having an off night as there were a few small mistakes along the way. The food was good across the board -- nothing bad at all, just not especially memorable. The space itself is a plus: larger dining room, comfortable seating, and a nice place to sit and enjoy a meal. If you're comparing Mediterranean options in Springfield, I'd probably give the edge on food to Greek Belly, but Crave offers a more spacious and relaxed dine-in atmosphere. Overall, a good, reliable option -- especially if you value the setting as much as the food.

It was taken off the bill. He has NEVER SENT A MEAL BACK! His meal was inedible. 2 others got Chicken Scampi. It had no sauce. They had to leave so they didn't say anything. PLUS, we told the hostess & the server we were celebrating birthdays. They said they'd get free deserts & sang to. Neither of these happened. The server said happy birthday to them after the bill was paid. We have always had fantastic food & service at Olive Garden. This evening was so disappointing for our special event.
