This was my second visit to Crave Mediterranean Cafe on Republic Road…read more Overall, it's a solid fast-casual experience -- not fine dining, but that's clearly not what they're aiming for. We spent about $40 for two people and had table service, which was a nice touch. Our waitress was very friendly and had a great attitude, though it seemed like she might have been having an off night as there were a few small mistakes along the way. The food was good across the board -- nothing bad at all, just not especially memorable. The space itself is a plus: larger dining room, comfortable seating, and a nice place to sit and enjoy a meal. If you're comparing Mediterranean options in Springfield, I'd probably give the edge on food to Greek Belly, but Crave offers a more spacious and relaxed dine-in atmosphere. Overall, a good, reliable option -- especially if you value the setting as much as the food.

Amazing collection of vintage cars, not your everyday American made vehicles). Cafe Cusco came up at the top of the list. We drove into a wonderfully historic section of Springfield that is slowly but surely revitalizing itself with eclectic shops and eateries. (Keep it up, Springfield! ) walked into a beautiful Cafe with stained glass, woodwork which in itself was jawdropping. Sierra our server/"tour guide" into the venue was outstanding, introducing us to Peruvian inspired cuisine. Hubby had the Chorizo Burger, said it was the best tasting Chorizo he has ever had. I had the Jalea Mixta for my meal...and wow, it was wonderfully prepared with delicious sauces to explore. Both dishes had a side of mixed greens salad dressed with an amazing basil lime aoili...it was the first time I have ever seen my husband enjoy mixed greens! And the pickled red onions were awesome! We will definitely drive the 2 hours to come back. Fyi, everything was made in house, so fresh.

Our server was very helpful and took time to answer all our questions. We started with Andean tamales with pork. Ahhh-mazing! The best thing we ate all night. For our entrees we had Blackfish and Lomo Saltado with steak. The fish was delicious and generous. However, the Lomo Saltado was a bit underwhelming compared to everything else. Overall, highly recommend!

My Italian sub wasn't the best Italian i've ever had but i give it a 3.5/5. it was a little sloppy, and i didn't care for the bread, maybe i should have toasted it. the meat tasted good and veggies tasted fresh. Im not sure what i could have added to make it taste better, but it was okay. my brother said his Ham sandwich was very good. 4.2/5 he didn't care the bread, veggies fresh and meat was good, said it was a clean sandwich not messy. only complaint was too much mayo. The sandwich shop was very clean and nice looking. $15 bucks for the Italian didn't seem worth it. my brothers Ham was $13 bucks. I think the price was a little high. for the quality id be okay with $10 a Large Sandwich. if they were to charge say $15 it should come with a med drink and i guess chips. would i come back? I'll give it another shot. I'll definitely try something different. I'm not saying the Italian was bad, I just think it lacked some flavor. And the breads gotta go. Bread tasted cheap. All in all i give the Sandwich shop 3.8/5 Check em out and try it see for yourself. Thanks!

The inside was dimly lit with tables as you walk in and to the back. There is also an outside seating area. We ordered at the register and our food was brought out to us. The menu is easy to understand, but the staff was able to answer all of our questions and explain different menu items in detail. Everyone was nice and welcoming. I got the Hotstone Bibimbap (suggested by the lady who took my order because it continues to cook when served, making the rice crispy and vegetables hot. I chose white rice topped with bulgogi and spicy shrimp. For sauce, I chose Sesame and Kochi to a little add extra kick. I had the kimchi put to the side. It also came with a miso soup . This whole combination was so delicious. Stayed hot the entire time and was plenty enough to share. The Yaki Soba, which is a noodle dish, was also very flavorful, came out fresh and hot. The Japchae was equally delicious and full of flavor. The sweet potato noodle of this dish was different, but still pretty tastey. I recommend leaving this for the experienced eaters. Lastly, we tried the kimbap. It was a typical kimbap, nothing stood out. Everything came out fresh, cooked to order, and hot. The price for everything was very reasonable. I would dent come again.

Just over cooked for my liking but i understand most want their burgers well done and that is generally how those are cooked everywhere you go. Fries were hot and crispy and the chicken tenders were hot and crispy but not really seasoned at all. Plenty of dipping sauces to choose from. Overall way better experience here than the one in Joplin and we would come back if we are in town. My brother said he would definitely be back.

The bread sticks were right out of the oven and excellent. The salads were fresh and very good. The dressing was outstanding and one person in our group bought a big bottle of it to take home. The birthday ladies were gifted a dessert. We all tasted the amazing lemon cake and Tiramisu and both were delicious beyond words. Parking is right out front with easy access. Reservations are recommended. We ate early at 4pm when they opened on a weekday. Highly-recommend it, if you're one that dines early. They offer a separate room for big groups. I'll rate Piccolo's as the best dining experience in the Ozarks!
