Main Street Italian Bistro - Springville, Alabama

Emily Adams

I had Main Street Italian cater my wedding dinner on September 7th, and I get asked who my caterer was almost daily!! The shrimp & grits were out of this world, as well as the ravioli! Everything was amazing and I heard nobody left hungry!! He even wrapped up a special box for my husband and I to enjoy at the hotel which was great! I even have a slight gluten intolerance and he made me a special plate. Scott Cole was so kind and professional and I would definitely recommend hiring them for your wedding or event! DELICIOUS!!

Small hole in the walls are always the best. Service was excellent!! Food was good. We'll go back! Pepperoni chips were good, better with marinara sauce. Marinara sauce is sweeter than I usually like but it was good.

I ordered the white chicken lasagna w/side salad. The ribs of the romaine lettuce were brown (I picked them out), the blackberry vinaigrette was very good.
Now for the lasagna: it wasn’t even stacked like a lasagna, the lasagna noodles were burnt onto the bottom of the foil container they served it in. The chicken was on top of the dish versus incorporated into the lasagna. I couldn’t eat it.
They offered to make another or something else. I chose to try the penne Alfredo with chicken. This tastes much better and served on a plate. This dish is nothing spectacular. I make a better Alfredo sauce at home. This dish could also use some spinach and broccoli.

Looking for a tiny little town that sings of Americana?

Main Street Bistro sits on an adorable little street of historical houses within 2 blocks to a park with 2 catch n release ponds that is dedicated to veterans and full of ducks, kids playgrounds, a covered bridge and a splash pad.

The bistro has outdoor seating and a tiny indoor nook as well.
There is an ice cream parlor down the street that is sometimes open.

The bistro is exactly what a bistro in Italy n most of Europe is; small, sweet, with a simple menu that is well maintained and full of reliable favorites.

You will not have a long list of high priced hard to pronounce ingredients, you will have healthy/large portions and kind staff.

You can get; salads, pizzas, appetizers that rotate seasonally, sandwiches, and hearty lasagnas.
There are some good sweets too.

Take a break from the big city, or come n visit because you are searching for relaxation n nostalgia and joy all at once.

Oh my goodness this food (and service) were amazing. As someone who has waitressed in small but busy restaurants, it can be hard to keep up- but the cooks and servers were so wonderful and attentive to everyone. The food was incredible. Would love to see them have a large dining room in their own building one day- I seriously think they deserve it. Give them a try if you haven’t already!

We loveee everything we have ever eaten here. Baked feta is a must every time we go. The all meat calzone is the biggest you could ever imagine. I always request the sweet sauce on my spaghetti or lasagna. It's a southern thing so if you dont like it sweet just say no please. Thank goodness you still have 1000 island as most restaurants have stopped carrying it. Walking in you feel like family coming home. EVERYONE says hello, all waitresses check on you and mama is gng to stop by your table. Theres no reason to need for anything and you're gng to have refills. The place may seem small inside but theres overflow outside seating. You have to remember not every building started out as an eatery. Their drive thru business is always booming. Parking can be back, front or side. It's not easy to see from the road but if you follow the cue from the parking lot you'll know it's worth your time. We love you guys and thank you for an excellent experience always. Oh n the music is always spot on and sets the tone that makes me want to get up afterwards and dance my meal off.

Yes, that is a cafe you can barely see from the street! Really great experience! My wife and I had family in from New Orleans, and we ended up eating here. The portions were huge, the sauce was fuego, and the price was economical. Also, aside from being busy the service was really on point. I think four adults and a little one was around $60 + tip. We will definitely be back.

Loved this place. I would always bring friends who were visiting from out of town here ! Not sure what’s going on with the new “partnership “ the hours are very odd , they are no longer open on weekends ?!? And you can only order take out on the three weekdays they ARE open , menu has changed a lot , now has bbq , wings and stuff . Willing to give the new format a go to see if they are still as good as they used to be , but doubt that will happen with new limited hours ! Such a shame , they were one of my favorites places to eat !
