“Had dinner at Mariah’s tonight and it was fabulous! If you only think of this place for the pasta, you are missing out on some of the best steaks in Springfield. My New York Strip was seasoned just right and cooked to perfection. The desserts are great and the service top notch. If you’ve never been or it’s been a while, you need to head out to Mariah’s.“
“Let me share this: I cannot stress enough how picky of an eater I am. I grew up eating from scratch and I now cook from scratch as adult. This place met my standards! The waiter Micheal was good! The lollipop lamb chops were Excellent. If I had to give a downside, perhaps a touch more polenta. My husband had the pasta with alfredo sauce. That dish was too salty.Other than that good. Dinner guests had the steak bites with the orzo; they raved over the dish! We all shared the oysters, they loved it. If I had to critique, they’re not Rockefeller, as there’s no spinach, but they were fine. Also, a few more shakes needed prior to serving their version of the dirty martini. The dinner guests also, enjoyed the cocktail with the foam on top. You won’t be disappointed with this choice. This fancy dinner was worth the 3 hour drive and we’ll have happy memories of dining with are good friends thanks to Vele and Micheal for a lifetime!!!“
“Had the Sophia Loren pizza on the jersey style crust. It was incredible. The garlic fennel sausage is amazing. Nice thin crust (they make their own crust and use their own yeast starter), perfectly cooked. The service was great. I can't wait to eat here again!“
“Very highly recommend! We had a group of 19 for our Christmas luncheon. We had the place entirely to ourselves as they are normally not open for lunch. We had a small buffet with excellent food. One of our members is allergic to onions and is gluten free. Her food was specially prepared with those guidelines. Can't say enough how highly appreciated and satisfied we all were with food, staff, everything!“
“Any salad is wonderful! From a dinner salad to a Spinach salad, the dressing is so good and to top it off try the salad sprinkles. I prefer thin crust pizza and love the pasta, without mushrooms! Its a neighborhood local place. Most everybody knows your name!“
“The pizza was great & 3 over people I was with were happy with the food. I complained about the awful Iced Tea that tasted like water. Was told that Everyone says that it has no flavor. That should clue the owners they need to do something about it. Was a big inconvenience to me because I only drink water & Iced tea. They shouldn't serve it or charge nearly $4 for something that has no taste. If I can't enjoy flavorful tea with my food, sorry not coming back.“
“Tortellini soup was excellent, best I've ever had. The lasagna was also right up there with the best. The salad was pretty good. The blue moon draft had a funky smell but drinkable. The covered up smell was the only negative atmosphere.“
“The absolute best Italian Food in Springfield IllinoisPete and Family have been putting great food out for over 50 years in Springfield IllinoisCooked to Order great staff and Restaurants Motif makes you feel well connectedThe Richards FamilySpringfield IllinoisParking: You have too park along 5th or 6th in Downtown SpringfieldRestaurants is on Old Capitol Plaza in Historic building where Abraham Lincoln gave his historical speech and Republican Party of The United States of America was Founded,Great View of Old State Capital,“
“The food and waitress was excellent. It was hot and we really didn’t have much of a wait. Our waitress was right on top of everything. The only thing I would let the restaurant know is they had a woman panhandling out in the parking lot last night. There were 4 of us so we didn’t pay much attention to her but she followed another older couple to their car She is probably harmless but if you were by yourself it might be a little scary“
“Nice atmosphere, clean restaurant, good pizza!I was happy to introduce my friends to Monical's Pizza at this establishment, they were all impressed and enjoyed the food.They offer gluten-free crust, and I have never gotten sick from contamination at any Monical's location.Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free pizza crust offered for 9" pizzas; workers are careful to avoid contamination, and I have never gotten sick from their food.Parking: Plenty of spots in parking lotWheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible parking, entrance, and seating. Bathrooms also offer enough room for wheelchair.“
“When I entered the restaurant I was greeted and seated by a very friendly employee. The atmosphere was very warm and inviting. I ordered an Italian beef sub sandwich with au jus and it was truly awesome. The seasoning was great and the hoagie roll it was on didn't fall part when I poured the au jus on it. I had to eat part of the Italian beef off of the sandwich before I could even get my mouth around the sandwich. It had lots of meat on it. I apologize for the picture I took of it. I had already eaten over half of it before I took the picture. It smelled so good I just had to hurry up and try it. The price was very reasonable. I will definitely be going back there and highly recommend it if you like good Italian food .“
“met some girlfriends for dinner & drinks...the apple martini was perfect! however, service was pretty slow for an uncrowded place...the cheese bread was different than i expected - covered in romano and parmesan, not hot or warm, no melted cheese whatsoever, i will not order that again...the olive salad was very good - one suggestion, maybe add black olives too.“
“This is a family friendly, old-school Italian restaurant, close to the convention center and the two hotels. The staff was very friendly and helpful, the food was good. I would definitely recommend this place for someone staying or attending the convention center.“
“Teirani was a awesome waitress who handle our large family of 23 amazing (it includeda ton of kids as well). Our food was good and the service was fast and super friendly. She was 100 percent a awesome waitress we will be asking to sit in her section every time we come in from now on.“
“Authentic Italian American Pizza Joint. We got the Joes Special Pizza. It was loaded with toppings and cheese. Pepperoni was specifically good. Took half home, great cold or microwaved. The chicken wings were crispy and had great flavor. Nonna made the salad and the Italian dressing was excellent. Great family vibe, delicious food, friendly service.“
“This place got new owners just a little over a year ago... quality of food went through the roof, I love their wings, I don't do a lot of pizza, but the double decker will leave your with leftovers! My wife LOVES their Italian beef! The bartender Jimmy is the best in town' I'd give more 5 if I could!!!“
“It's a very relaxing family like atmosphere. I even think it's like a laid-back hang out for owner and friends but not in an obnoxious way. Menu does need updated since some things are not available there anymore. Old school type pizza my husband loves.“
“I have very fond memories of Joe's over the years - even driving by brings a smile to my face. So the nostalgia coupled with the amazing pizza brings it to 5 stars for me. The service is hit-or-miss depending on who helps you but its really never been the friendliest place to order from. My most recent order was hot & ready in the 45 minutes quoted and the young man who brought the order out was very nice. While they make a solid pizza with good crust and a sweeter sauce, don't pass over the lasagna - it is delicious!“
“Got order for pick up for a work luncheon. There was an error in our call ahead order but the manager on duty hustled and got everything done quickly and accurately. I really appreciate how she went out of the way to get us taken care of. Our staff loved all the food. We will definitely order again. Also it’s an amazing option when you have several vegetarians on staff because there a lot of options!!Vegetarian options: Great selection“
“Easily the best pizza in town, and easily the most authentic pizza I've ever had outside of Italy. Prices are reasonable for the quality you get. The restaurant itself isn't anything special, but serves its purpose well. I love that the owner has a ton of pictures of him and his family in Italy on the walls. The Carbonara is perhaps my favourite pizza ever, never thought eggs on a pizza would be good but here we are. What a time to be alive.“
