In 1958 Nicola and Edda Caputo came from Italy in search of the American dream. Edda's dream of opening a restaurant came true in 1963. Red Rose started off small, but through hard work and with the help of their three children, Carmela, Rita and Tony, the restaurant grew. In 1986 Rita and Tony took over and brought Red Rose to its present state. Today, if you look close enough, you can see signs of the third generation.
Services
In 1963 Edda Caputo opened a 15-seat pizzeria in Springfield using recipes from her native Naples, Italy. Customers loved her fresh, authentic cuisine so much that the restaurant expanded not once, but four times! In response to customer demands full dinners and full beverage service were added. Today, Red Rose Restaurant is a Springfield landmark that can accommodate more than 400 diners.

You will never get better service at the nicest, most beautiful high end restaurant in town! The owner is absolutely fabulous and the food could not be better. I highly recommend this lovely restaurant! It's my personal favorite restaurant to go to. Great place for anniversaries, proposals, etc. You have to come here! I guarantee you won't regret it

I don't venture out to Springfield often, because it is about an hour from home, but I have tried Red Rose years ago & was very impressed! Lovely, comfortable atmosphere with the delicious aroma of classic, traditional, quality Italian cuisine! Whether you like pizza or pasta, Red Rose is an excellent choice for lunch or dinner. Desserts are decadent also. Fried mozzarella is amazing! Well worth it, definitely recommend to all interested in tasty food & great service. Not sure if it's the same as years ago, but they used to have windows as you entered the restaurant from the back parking lot &

Meh... unfortunately! I was super excited to order chicken parm from them- I always heard great things about how classically Italian their food is or was... what I got was super underwhelming. Sauce tasted like it came from a can- chicken breading just falling off, soggy. Pasta was also not special. Won't be ordering from here again.

This place is a MUST-visit. My fiance went to college in Springfield and has mentioned Red Rose 100,000x to me. I finally had the chance to try it out and was not disappointed! It totally lives up to the hype.
Family-style dining at its best, Red Rose is beautiful on the inside! They have a huge menu and tons of options for everyone. I ordered a small pizza as I was by myself and could not believe how good it was. After telling myself I would only have a few pieces, I ate almost the whole thing.
I can't wait to come back again soon and try some other things!

Was in the casino next door and was looking for some good late night food;
stumbled across the street to red rose and the food was amazing. If I didn't know better I would have thought I was in "ledo's" (closed Italian mafia spot)
I was the only person of color there....lol lol that being said the food was great and I would definitely recommend this place for great good food.

Went there with a friend on a Saturday for supper. Waited an hour to get a table. Waiting another 20 minutes to get our order taken. Then she found her hair and her food after waiting an hour and 15 minutes to receive the meal. I have been to red rose numerous amount of times with no issues. I don't blame the restaurant for the timing of the wedding and the meal. It just makes me sad knowing that such a popular restaurant doesn't have the help that they need to accommodate their customers.

A really nice traditional Italian restaurant that has such delicious foods like pizzas in tons of types. You have the classics like pepperoni and cheese, and you have special ones like buffalo chicken. They even have this super delicious desert which is a cookie sandwich with Canoli cream inside with chocolate. Such an amazing restaurant that even though the wait was long, it was so worth it.

We were planning to eat at a different restaurant this night, but they did not have dine in at this moment. So we were told about Red Rose and thought we'd give it a try. It is situated in the heart of Springfield.
I called the day before to inquire about reservations. The said they do not take them, but as long as you get there before 6PM, you should have no problem getting a table.
My 3 brothers and myself had an 8PM show in town. We arrived at the Red Rose at 545PM. The place was PACKED. We were put on 2 buzzers, one for the bar, the other for the main dining room. We had some drinks

When I asked some of my co-workers to recommend some place in the area, the name Red Rose came up on everyone's list. Decided to take a ride down on a Saturday afternoon, and I'm glad I did! Food, atmosphere, wait staff...everything was excellent. Haven't had Italian this good since I left south Philly! I plan on going back ASAP.

I'm visiting from California right now, saw and was recommended to this fantastic Italian restaurant. Amazing food, big portions at great prices!! Best of all fantastic and attentive staff, Tiffany was our waitress for this evening and she went above and far beyond anyone who has ever helped me in my life. She was kind, always checking on us, and has the best upbeat attitude I've ever seen. Truly in awe of the friendly service!
Wish I got some pictures, but the food was too delicious. Highly recommend the lasagna, the pizza and chicken piccata.
Can't wait to move here and come back

Friday night at Red Rose! Nothing is better! We had the family salad and a small hamburger & pepperoni pizza. Outstanding! Our server Dawn was great. Attentive friendly what more can one ask for. You can tell by the customers leaving smiling laughing in great moods that the restaurant was producing great product. I highly recommend Red Rose. A mainstay and landmark in Springfield. High standards, attention to detail, friendly staff and awesome food. What more can you ask for. Thank you Red Rose for a great night!

Had red rose in person for the first time. It was pretty good. Didn't love the arancini. My veal parm was not my fave ... not sure why just didn't love it. But the pizza .... Oh man was that good! We had the combo pizza.
Others in my party had chicken francese and chicken piccata which they said were great and they looked it too! The bread was delicious too. 20 minute wait on a Friday night wasn't bad either! Place is HUGE and it was packed. They have ample free parking across the street when their lot is full.
