★★★★★ 5.0 Jerry Nelson · Feb 2026

The food here is pretty average — nothing that blows your mind, but it’s fine for a casual meal. What really stands out is the atmosphere. It’s got such an old-school vibe that feels nostalgic and fun, like stepping back in time a little. Everything about the space — the decor, the layout, even the little touches — gives it a classic feel that you don’t see much anymore. The atmosphere alone makes it worth a visit, especially if you enjoy spots that feel cozy, lively, and full of character. It’s the kind of place where you go more for the experience than the food, and honestly, that’s a big part of its charm. I’d come back just to soak in the vibe and enjoy the surroundings.

I'd never patronize this business in the future. I have honestly never eaten at a restaurant with such a nasty staff member. Our server was exceptionally rude from the moment we walked in. She had a snarl on her face when we walked in, when she gave me my menu and when my colleague asked her about my menu. It appeared that she was perpetually angry and irritated, and unfortunately, we were on the receiving end of it. At one point, everyone at the table received a soda refill—except me. I happened to have a different type of soda and for some reason, I was completely skipped. It was noticeable, and honestly absurd, as even the rest of the table pointed it out. As for the food, it was subpar at best. I’ve had better pasta from grocery store microwave meals. This place missed its mark. I find

We loved our fantastic experience at Saputo's. Our wonderful server was Vanessa. I hope you have the pleasure of meeting her. I asked for a salad with extra dressing and I got it! Wow! This most certainly was not a dry salad. We enjoyed some complementary bread and butter before our entrées arrived. My wife ordered the spinach Alfredo with chicken. I had the lasagna with two meatballs on top. Vanessa suggested that I mix the meat sauce and spicy marinara. That was an unbelievably excellent combination! There's a reason this place has been a local favorite since 1948. It was one of the most enjoyable Italian restaurants we have ever experienced. Food and service are five stars all the way. We cannot wait to return. We do not have an Italian place this good at home, in Kansas City.

One of the best 3 restaurants in Springfield, and hands down the best Italian place! So delicious and great service.

★★★★★ 5.0 Catherine Lewis · Nov 2024

Great place for food and drinks! The atmosphere is very mature and warm. The waitress I had was fantastic! I forgot her name, so sorry! We ordered different things from the menu, and all were great! I ordered a tender and delicious beef fillet —you must put the garlic sauce on every bite! The bread was amazing, with toasted sesame seeds, and the butter was great. I will return and recommend it!
