Gilardi's

In this flavorful episode of Savor the Ozarks, Joy Robertson chats with James Martin, the self-taught chef and owner of Gilardi's, a cozy Italian gem in Springfield with a serious passion for pasta and people.

James went from studying Eastern religion and dreaming of being a hostage negotiator to buying Gilardi's in 2013... and when his kitchen staff quit early on, he turned to YouTube to learn how to cook (yep, really). Now, he’s serving up house-made pasta, 300 pounds of fresh basil from the front garden, and a menu full of heart.

He opens up about the behind-the-scenes grind of keeping a restaurant alive during COVID, battling rising food costs, and staying true to his mission: great food, warm vibes, and an inclusive, welcoming space for all. Add in his plans for community charity partnerships and those special regional wine dinners, and you've got one inspiring local story. 🍝🌿🍷
