Gilardi's Ristorante

Changing our world one plate and one date at a time. Our unique, high-quality dining experiences reflect our commitment to the arts and the community.

When ordering from our Gilardi’s seasonally specific menu, we encourage you to embrace each locally sourced ingredient. Whether a tomato is from our organic garden in front of the Historic Grey Gables event venue, or from Urban Roots Farm, or Millsap Farm, please know it was grown and cared for with love and consideration for our community and its future.

Our homemade ricotta noodles will delight, while our changing ravioli specials each day will excite! Ask our staff to recommend a perfect wine pairing with your special evening’s cuisine. Your dinning experience and fare’s quality is held in upmost regard.

"This restaurant is the product of over eighteen years watching and learning from the best restaurants/owners in Springfield. Our product offering will remain dedicated to the traditional restaurant keys to success; food, service and atmosphere. We will exceed all other competition in our fourth product offering which will be relationships. The relationships that our business will create with local farmers, business owners, patrons of the arts, city government, and higher education will be our lasting legacy to our community and our investors."
