" Dinner at Gilardi's was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we stepped inside, we were enveloped by a warm, intimate atmosphere. I could tell before even ordering that this was going to be special. Our server greeted us with a smile and recommended a lovely wine. For the appetizer, we had the fried provolone, which was decadent and satisfying. I ordered the fennel sausage and ricotta tortellini, and my wife had the seafood risotto. Both dishes were beautifully plated and tasted gourmet! The owner even came to our table to ensure we were enjoying our meal. This kind of personal touch makes a big difference. We'll definitely return for another memorable night! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're in Springfield and looking for an excellent dining experience, you can't go wrong with Gilardi's. I recently celebrated my birthday there and was thrilled with everything. We started with the prosciutto and melon appetizer, followed by their house special pasta. Both dishes were fresh and showcased the flavors of Italy beautifully. The service was top-notch; my server was friendly and took the time to explain each special. I felt like I was sharing a meal with family rather than just dining out. I highly recommend this place if you appreciate high-quality Italian food in a charming setting. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Gilardi's last month hoping for a delightful evening, and it indeed turned into a wonderful experience. The ambience was cozy for our small dinner party. I tried their pesto pasta, which showcased the fresh ingredients beautifully. Service remained consistent throughout the night, and we received a lovely treat at the end—a sample of their house-made cannolis. Definitely a spot I will visit again! " (*Curated Review*)

" Gilardi's has enchanted me with its incredible Italian cuisine. The highlight of my meal was the tiramisu. You could tell it was made in-house, and it was the perfect balance of spongy and creamy. The service was exceptional. My waiter made recommendations that hit the mark perfectly. The atmosphere was a lovely mix of romantic and lively with tasteful decor and soft music playing in the background. I highly suggest visiting Gilardi's if you're looking for an authentic Italian experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our family had a wonderful experience at Gilardi's during a recent visit. The location is certainly charming, and they clearly pay attention to the quality of their meals. I ordered grilled salmon, which was cooked to perfection and very tender, while my daughter enjoyed a pasta dish that was light and fresh. The only downside was that some of our desserts could have been a bit colder, but overall, the experience was delightful. Thank you for a memorable family outing! " (*Curated Review*)

" During our recent visit to Gilardi's, we were pleasantly surprised by the attentive service. The staff was incredibly friendly, and we felt valued as customers. The food was terrific; we tried the lasagna and found it to be delicious and rich with flavor. However, the atmosphere felt a tad bit cramped on a busy night, but that’s not uncommon for restaurants like this. Overall, great food and a good experience overall! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the chance to try Gilardi's recently, and it didn't disappoint. The rustic setting felt cozy and perfect for our little getaway. For appetizers, we tried the meatballs, which were hearty and flavorful. My husband and I both ordered duck, which was deliciously prepared and tender. Great care is definitely taken in selecting ingredients. The only note I would mention is that while the food was generally amazing, a few dishes could've used a touch more flavor. I would still recommend this restaurant for its ambiance and the quality of service. " (*Curated Review*)
