Adolfo's Restaurant - Springfield

This restaurant was terrific, but it is out of business. It's a real shame, because the food was terrific

Great Food and Very Friendly Staff! Service was Excellent!

Excellentcelebrating my birthday. Great sausage, meatball, pasta, sauce and pino Grigio.

My first time here! Got myself a bottle of Acqua Panna (which I originally tried to correct the waitress and said you mean Aqua feena as in Aquafina? natural spring water direct from Tuscany, Italy (a Nestle product . Nice touch adding a couple lemon wedges and a couple lime wedges! For my appetizer, I am having the Adolfo 's Wild Mushrooms (allegedly Al 's favorite, served sautéed with crispy garlic and e.v.o.o. extra virgin olive oil . I am the only table, which is unusual for 8PM on a Friday, but the place has nice decor and is clean. They also have a sizable patio which is quite popular around here I am told. I also heard there is a DJ tonight and the place is much busier from 10 2. An Italian Nightclub?! I guess so! The food came out real fast (like 5 minutes . Damn these are good! Very, very, very salty (your sodium allotment for the week! with a slight kick to them, but it 's not a hot sauce or pepper. A bit dry too. I 'm not sure what it is. For my next item, I am trying the chicken escarole soup. I haven 't had escarole in probably 35 years. I 've also never had this type of soup before either. I like the mellow music though. Definitely geared to the older crowd. A bit loud, bit it 's not obnoxiously loud. I 'm in the bar area anyhow...It is smoking hot and tastes like real chicken soup! I like it! Definitely has a homemade taste to it. Contains pasta, celery and carrots too. I couldn 't taste the escarole though. Still, it was well worth the 10 15 minute wait. For my next item, I am trying the spinach salad (grape tomatoes, walnuts, Gorgonzola cheese and finished with hard apple cider vinaigrette . This is going to be different. Alcohol in my salad. It 's cool in here too so the AC is definitely cranking. Nice weather outside (79 when I drove up around 5 PM . They don 't cheat you on the walnuts! For my entree, I am having the (small Scrod Florentine (scrod fillet topped with plum tomatoes, fresh spinach, light garlic, white wine, asparagus, and diced tomatoes in a lemon herb sauce with a side of pasta . Me eating pasta?! What is the world coming to? Regardless, this is real good! I would recommend getting the small portions (the price on the left of the on the menu first before buying the large. It 's still a lot of food!

Come here for some outdoor space during the warmer months. dog friendly, nice drink options, DJ spinning all night long. food is pretty mediocre but the portions are ridiculously large (we tried two of the pasta options). solid option in downtown springfield
