A Springfield Tradition Since 1951

Founded in 1951 by Johnny and Rosemary Lynn, Gabatoni’s Italian Restaurant began as a family dream built on a passion for great food and community. After serving in the United States Marine Corps, Johnny opened the restaurant’s first location on Washington Street in Springfield. In 1959, the family moved to their current Laurel Street location, where they continue serving fresh, handcrafted pizza and Italian favorites to generations of loyal guests every day.
