We got lucky in that the exit we got off on had an interesting shopping strip with a wide variety of food. After a long bit of consideration we decided upon Pasta Express Catering. Upon arriving at the counter where one orders I decided to go ahead and give the minestrone soup and caesar salad a try. The minestrone soup was actually one of the better one's I've had in my time (and I'm pretty particular about this dish). It was flavorful and had a decent ingredients to broth ratio. I definitely recommend ordering it. The caesar salad was also pretty nice and it definitely fulfilled my requirements for the item. Lastly the customer service was pretty spot on. The people up front were incredibly nice and our food arrived in a reasonable time frame. Should I find myself driving through that area again I will certainly have to stop in.

Service was attentive, we started with a bottle of wine & bruschetta, the wine was good, the bruschetta was soggy and falling apart when picked up. As we were waiting for our entrees we noticed the delays from the kitchen, server bringing pasta to a couple on their anniversary for him and saying the pizza was just on its way out of the oven, it never arrived, the gentleman finished his pasta and still no pizza, she cancelled the order and they left. The table behind us also had no meals, the server said the chef forgot to make them, they finished their drinks and left. The table next to us, 1 of 3 meals served and finished and then 2 lasagnes arrived, both of which were still cold in the middle. They were all annoyed and just took them to go. Finally our meals arrived, I believe we were waiting on the bolognese as it seemed hot and fresh, mine however was not the hottest and has a film on it as it had been sitting a while. I believe the bolognese was not worth almost $40 but the other one was well priced and delicious. Ended with a tiramisu which was dry which was disappointing. So a disordered evening with angry diners did not make for a fun night out.

The meatballs: These are an excellent meatball and an excellent sauce. These aren't some rolled meat with salt and pepper. These meatballs have an excellent herb accented flavor and taste wonderful. Alfredo Carbonara: Again, a fantastic dish. Very rich flavor with a good dose of prosciutto accent. Tomato Bisque: This isn't some Sysco product they're putting out - this stuff is a real deal, made from scratch bisque. A very balanced flavor with a good depth of texture....not some watery kind of soup. Cannolis: desert will (not) disappoint. The cannoli cream is a nice flavor...with a slight orange zest touch. I've always loved this place. The food may not always come out super fast. But so what, so long as the food comes out right....and I'll sure say....the food comes out great!

Large space. The entry foyer is large and welcoming…read more The service was nicely organized with servers and runners Our mix of three main courses was good, nothing was exceptional. Well prepared and presented. While the lineage of northern Italian cuisine was referenced repeatedly it is definitely an American Italian cuisine with a Midwest sweetness to the red sauce. It was a busy night and it was quite crowded. It was the most formal of the Italian style restaurants we have tried in our 3 years of Springfield visits.

Be aware, it's not on the street but is actually behind the historic houses there. We had no reservations and they were busy but they took us anyway. The bartender had to serve us - but again they were busy that's on us. The spinach artichoke dip was mind blowing. It was better than our delicious meal. It was so rich thick and creamy. It was a fantastic experience getting to dip bread into that heavenly concoction. The Gilardis pasta was really good as well. I do wish the sausage was a little more meaty against the sauce (tiny pieces really just part of the sauce) but it was really good nonetheless. The shrimp were big firm and delicious. The ricotta pasta was great! The wine went great with the dip! That's all we had time for unfortunately - I realllly want to try the tiramisu.
