    Let me start that this is the only Bertuccis in PA, the server shared with us. We have frequent the one that use to be in Oxford Valley area. It closed, as a family, we were so sad. So when my son was finishing a track meet in the area and we saw there was one in Springfield. We were excited. When we arrived, the host was very nice and cordial. Our server was the best, from her disposition to checking on us. What a gem! My son has the chicken parm, a very good portion that he could not finish (does not happen often). I had the roasted vegetables and the sporkie pizza. Everything was delicious and how I remember it. I highly recommend becuase the quality/portions of food and service is outstanding and prices are very reasonable. Thank you for making a great meal and experience!
