We discovered this small restaurant driving through Springfield, Ohio after a football game in Miami, Ohio heading back to Columbus, Ohio. What a lovely surprise. An old school throwback restaurant with a very cool vintage bar and a small banquet space. We had wine, beer, Greek appetizers, chicken parmesan, spaghetti, pork tenderloin with mashed potatoes, the house special and cheesecake. The owner and waitresses were very friendly and nice too which added to our meal. We would recommend the place!

Great food with an unusual menu! Menu includes frog legs, chicken livers and walleye. Our plates came with a very large portion of meat and a medium-sized potato. We were nicely greeted and seated, and then in minutes, we were served warm bread with plenty of butter packets. We thought this was a fun place to discover. There is extra parking behind the building.

Doesn’t look like much from the outside, dated inside, but the food is great. Wide ranging menu, Italian and greet with a great selection of desert choices. Not sure how long the restaurant has been at this location but it was there in the 60’s. Three of us ate for under $70.

We dined at Linardos last week. Always, always consistently good and delicious. The servers are amiable and kind, and the food has been the same way for decades : delicious and consistent Greek food.
Atmosphere is low-key, and it's the type of place Sinatra would have loved, and you half-expect seeing someone from The Sopranos having a drink. It's a place where you can talk and have a laugh, but nobody is obnoxious. You can be yourself here.
This is a great place. The last of the great restaurants in Springfield.

Amazing atmosphere felt like I was back in Italy. Amazing staff so friendly and accommodating. Amazing authentic Greek Italian cuisine 😘🤌🏼 Chicken Parmesan and Lasagna with Italian Cream Cake and Carrot 🥕 cake 🎂. Definitely will be back.
The decor took you back to the 70s but the Food took your taste buds to Heaven. The Chicken Parmesan was amazing 😋 the spaghetti and meatballs were totally delicious 😋 the in house made mozzarella sticks were superbly tantalizing.... If you Haven't eaten here then you SHOULD, you won't be disappointed....

Enjoyed dinner with friends away from the normal packed mall restaurants. It was pleasantly good with a wide selection of appetizers and entrees. It's definitely on our list for a return visit!

Just came for an appetizer and drinks. It was a quiet, authentic restaurant. The manager (maybe owner?) was darling. You can tell her really cares about his customers. I don't live in Springfield, but now I want to drive back to try a dinner. Forget Olive Garden.. Go support your small businesses, people!

This Greek restaurant had more Italian selection than Greek. The Greek salad was sparse and did not have olives and was topped with Italian dressing. Service was very slow.
I have been going to Linardos for about 5 years now. I will say that it has great atmosphere, music and service! This is undoubtedly the best Italian food that I have ever had, and Linardos is Greek! This is definitely not your "run of the mill " obnoxious loud teenie bopper restaurant. Harry the owner is always very engaging and friendly as is Angie my typical server, and the food is always great! I love restaurants that have class and great atmosphere! Linardos has that.

New in town and dropped in based on reviews. My wife and I were not disappointed. The center cut pork chops were tender and full of flavor. Nice size portions, and the prices are extremely reasonable.
