Really great waiters, delicious wine, and I adored my caprese salad, my tiramisu left something to be desired and had coffee grounds on top which gave it an unpleasant grainy texture, but otherwise everything was lovely

The best Italian restaurant in Missouri. Better than anywhere on The Hill in St. Louis. A true hidden gem that serves up perfection in every dish they bring you.

This has been my favorite restaurant since my first visit. The food is phenomenal in all aspects from the plating and portions to the taste. Having dined at multiple Michelin star restaurants it amazes me they haven’t received one yet. The atmosphere is unlike any other from the moment you drive in feeling like you found a hidden restaurant meant for only those who have been invited. The staff accommodates that feeling to with their knowledge and presentation. The beautiful scene outside the building is perfect for pictures and to just kick back and relax after the food. The beauty of the gardens surrounding the property translates to the food as well. This is the only restaurant I would ever say is perfect with its consistency with every visit being as good as the last no matter how busy. The owner James and his staff always greet us with a big smile and welcome. The skills of the kitchen are nothing to be overlooked either. Though it caters an Italian menu there skills are far broader than that. With requests being an option ahead of time I utilized it was not let that that’s for sure. The inside of the restaurant is very homie and well decorated and lit. Table placement is just right for comfort. I have never had to wait to be seated from reservations. Time from order to presentation is average but nothing to complain about. The staff are attentive, quick, intelligent, and very personable. The prices are actually quite the steal especially when comparing to other high end restaurants. And last but not least the drinks are exceptional.
I would recommend everyone try at least one special they offer. There menu options I recommend are
-Pesto Limonata
-Gilardis Pasta
-specialty shank dish
-Tiramisu
And the drinks I recommend are the old fashion and the limoncello sidecar

The food was delicious and the service was great. The setting was upscale but still very comfortable. The servers were attentive without being intrusive. We never felt rushed or pushed to buy more than we wanted. They also had a subtle sense of humor which made for a very relaxing evening.

I was stuck in Springfield during a storm while driving home to Arkansas, so I decided to stop here and have a meal. I will drive back to Springfield to go here! Unbelievable service and delectable food. Can’t say enough about how much I enjoyed this little gem.

EXTREMELY fabulous food. The best dinner my husband and I have had for a very long time. The menu included tasty dishes not seen in other Italian restaurants.
They also accommodated my gluten free, dairy free, egg free diet. Still SO delicious!
The staff was very attentive. Our server was patient and communicated with the chef about food allergies. Our food came out warm and our glasses were refilled quickly.
The atmosphere was calm. Good place for a romantic dinner for two. After the appetizer, main course & dessert, my husband said he wanted a softer chair. He just needs a little more body fat.
We will definitely be back!

Well worth the little extra. We found them just by a google restaurant search. Yes the prices are a little more than what most would typically pay, but the food was EXCEPTIONAL! The ambiance is cozy, romantic, and the lighting is perfect, not too dim, not too bright. I had one of the specials of the day, ravioli with veal, delicious! For an appetizer we had cantaloupe wrapped in prosciutto with just a hint of black pepper! WOW! My wife had a Caprese salad, marvelous! Definitely a place we will return to when in Springfield but I do suggest calling for a reservation as they fill the tables quickly, with good reason.

My wife and I were looking to go in “date night”, so we dropped off the kiddos with grandparents and off we went on a search for a new experience. And we found it. I was a bit skeptical about its location, but it only added to the experience. We did NOT know that we needed to make reservations in advance . But as we stood there in shock, the owner came over and said… “you know what, let me see what I can do for you”. And he was able to put us in a table right away! The entire experience from the waitress to the owner checking up on us and making us feel welcomed was…. in lack of a better word… exquisite! The food was delicious, it’s presentation was on point for the type of restaurant this is. I felt it was a bit pricey, but the experience made it all worth it. Location, service, prices, quality, and Cleanliness earn this place a 5 . We will definitely be back soon, with family and friends.
