Dolce Anna is a short ride from Springfield, IL, and certainly worth a trip if you love gelato (or…read moreif you've never tried it before). The hours are limited- currently opening at 5 pm Wednesday-Sunday. There will be a line at opening, and for the best selection, don't delay. When it's sold out for the night- it's sold out. The case holds 12 amazing flavors. We always buy a pint or 2 and it's become a weekly visit. Flavors change- we have a sampled Caramel Mou, Moccacino, Pistachio with Cervia Sea Salt, Limoncello, Cantaloupe, and a Cheesecake variety. My personal favorites are Moccacino (coffee and chocolate-yum!), and Limoncello (tart lemony and refreshing). My gelato partner loves the pistachio. I think it's a husband and wife team working and you will hear Italian spoken, as this is true Italian gelato. They are friendly and the small shop gets people through timely, although you can try samples, and that does slow up the line a bit. On a chilly Friday evening in spring there were about a dozen people in line at opening- and a recent Saturday night had nearly all flavors gone shortly after 8 pm. Follow them on Facebook (no website at this time) to see the latest offerings, which occasionally include actual cheesecakes and cannoli.

A diamond in the rough and a great place for delicious treats…read more We were visiting Lincoln's hometown of Springfield, Ill and wanted to get a snack. We found this place online. It is a little south of the city and west of the interstate but it is absolutely worth the detour. It is a rustic place called the Apple barn and parking is right in front. Their website gives a lot more information about it being more than just the main shop that is in the barn. They began as a family apple orchard and expanded over the years into a collection of attractions including two restaurants, a general store, a creamery, a winery, a candy factory, and a Christmas shop, all centered around the original barn built in 1910. We only visited the barn with the bakery goodies and the very friendly staff who helped us get some delicious snacks for the trip back to the hotel. It was great! Even if you don't plan to buy anything, it's worth taking some time to visit to get a snack for your trip or, if you are going to walk around the site, for the extra visit. We found it to be one of the more enjoyable stops to the area capping off a great visit to the Springfield, Ill area.

I wish the waiting area could become more tables but I know it adds a lot more money and hands to make that happen. Something really neat about the restaurant is it's BYOB (Bring your own booze)! I got the Bume Noodle Soup dry. They offer wet and dry noodle soups- wet with the broth and dry with no broth. It tasted great! I do think the broth would've added more flavor though. I held off the lime but did add the crushed peanuts to the mix. The peanuts were a great touch and addition of flavor/texture. I did also later try the noodles with some peanut sauce and that was also nice to dip every now and then. The soup also came with huge wontons! Service was great as well, they are super hardworking in there.
