The gentleman did ask me if I wanted cheese on top and I said yes, but I was thinking it was sprinkled Parmesan, but it was a big glom of baked cheese, which I don't care for at all. I should've asked him what type of cheese or he should've told me what it was very disappointed in this place. I left the guy a tip and I wish I would not have.

Not only was the food…read moreabsolutely delicious, but our server, Stacy was probably one of the best ones we've had on all of our eating out dates together! She was consistent and super kind. We weren't a huge fan of the bruschetta and when we told her she took it in and immediately brought out some meatballs that we loved! She did not let us down, and helped me plan a surprise birthday cannoli for my boyfriend! We loved her! We were looking for a romantic, dimmed lighting dinner and got just that. It was beautiful!

I've lived in the Springfield area too long to be just now trying Avanzare. This place exceeded my…read moreexpectations. We were able to walk in on a Monday evening at peak dinner hour. Feels like you are walking into a nice hotel. Very clean and inviting. Everyone who served us was friendly and attentive, especially to refilling our waters. I ordered a dish that had homemade noodles, Yaya's pasta, and it was decadent. Probably in my top ten dishes! A creamy vodka sauce with tons of shrimp, salmon, and mushrooms. Loved the bed of zucchini strings on the top. I enjoyed every bite and even had enough for a take home box. Husband really enjoyed his steak dinner. Cooked perfectly and very tender and flavorful. He chose sides of mashed potatoes and seasonal veggies. The homemade breads and pesto butter are perfection.

Well the service was excellent considering we had a party of 12…read more It was very loud in there. The food overpriced and meh. I got the crab cake special that was swimming in a very spicy sauce and I like spicy. It had a little side salad of greens. I ordered the spinach and green salad with beets, gorgonzola, and candied pecans. Now I love gorgonzola and what I paid for the salad I expected a lot more than a few sprinkles of it. I did ask for extra and was mot charged for it. There are better places to eat in Springfield.

We celebrated two birthdays here last night and Piccolo's did not disappoint! Kaylee, was our…read moreserver and she was truly a 10-star server! The manicotti with blush was excellent. The others had eggplant parmesan and said it was the best they had ever eaten. One ate Italian nachos and did not care for it, but she's often times disappointed with what she orders in restaurants. 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!

My friend told me about this place for authentic Italian because their chef came from Italy…read more The place is small and limited seating but feels homie. They have pictures of Nonna, I think it's her. We have reservation for my 18 year anniversary, the waitress was nice and attentive. We have the appetizer tomatoes and burrata. It was different but taste good. Like a self service mini charcuterie. I wana try something different so I pick the beggar purse pasta from the authentic section. My man got the mushroom ravioli and the kids got the meat Lasanga and seafood fruitti de mare. Also came with side bread. My pasta was a little bland but it was different. I added some salt and it was better. The mushroom ravioli was super good tho. The sauce was on point, sweet, sour and flavorful. man was sweet to switch with me. The kids say their pasta was okie. Their flavor was bland. Overall service was good, I really like the ravioli and the other pasta was alright to me. Maybe will come back and try something else next time.

Thank you so much! If you find yourself in Branson and want the best waitress in the country, you need to go to Florentina's and sit in Jeronica's section.

When you walk in to this restaurant, it has the feel of a converted bingo hall. The portions are good sized alright. But for so many of dishes we had....tye flavor profile was just way different and off. Even the marinara sauce...just different. I could still eat it and did. I just didn't enjoy it and ate it because I bought it and not gonna waste it. I'm sure there's an Olive Garden in the neighboring town of Joplin. I highly suggest to go there for your Italian fix. I'm not a big fan of Olive Garden....but it's sure far far better than this place.

It is nice and clean and nicely decorated. Now the best part; the food! We got bread and marinara as we were seated. Amazing. We also got mozzarella sticks for an appetizer, salad, and the tour of italy entree, which we shared. Everything was delicious!!! We came to the area to go to the Precious Moments Chapel and museum. This was well worth the 2 hour drive. The picture speaks volumes! Plus, we ordered another entree to take home to have for dinner!
