Curate … to hand-select unique, flavorful food and wine combinations from the vast array of possibilities

Our specialty... Small Plates & Wine. We believe in sharing and experiencing new and different tastes so we offer a multitude of small plates meant for sampling, sharing, and pairing with our great wines. All fresh, unique, and very deep in flavor.  Eat a little or eat a lot, we have something for everyone. 

Executive Chef, Justin Richardson, curates some of the finest flavor profiles from around the globe and brings them right here to Curate. Along with his culinary team, he develops an ever-changing menu drawn from his Italian heritage and culinary studies in Italy, his classical French training, and even inspirations from Asia, Europe and the Middle East… all brimming with flavor and beautifully presented. Chef Justin has an impeccable palate and great culinary creativity ...we are lucky to have his talent right here in Springfield. 

Dan, Nickey, Justin at original VELE, downtown Springfield

Our ownership team consists of Dan Sperry, Justin Richardson, and Nichole Sperry… the ultimate trifecta. We each bring a different aspect to the table, literally. Dan handles the business and operational aspects, Justin is the purveyor of all things culinary, and Nickey is our design and marketing aficionado.

Just as we have with our other restaurant VELE, we strive to deliver another satisfying, meaningful dining experience with Curate, our our 2nd restaurant concept together. We are huge advocates of supporting and promoting locally-owned, independent restaurants and passionate about helping to increase the economic and cultural vitality of Springfield. We appreciate the part you play in making it happen.

Cheers!
