10/10 italian dining! Our waitress was so attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. For an appetizer we had the bruschetta, delicious! I ordered the cheese ravioli and my husband had the chicken saltimbocca, both were great. They came with salads and the dressing was soooo good.

My friend brought me here for dinner after we hiked the incline & it was nothing short of amazing! Definitely worth the 45 minute wait to be seated. I ordered the steak in cheese sauce with pasta & it was one of the best meals I've had in the area. They bring out salad & fresh baked bread too which was spectacular. We ordered a nice bottle of watermelon strawberry wine & finished our dinner off with cheesecake & ice cream. I highly recommend this restaurant & will be coming back to dine again!

Had an amazing meal here at Paravicini’s! Really awesome staff, really awesome food, and really awesome atmosphere all around. We got a small loaf of bread to share, and if you’re bad at cutting bread, good luck. But really awesome atmosphere. The gnocchi bolognese was really good, and I had about half the plate to take home. They offered Tiramisù, and while I couldn’t eat it then, I took it to go to have with the rest of my gnocchi. Haven’t had it yet, but I’m excited to eat it! I would absolutely recommend eating here!

Made a reservation 2 weeks in advance and we were seated right away when we walked in. Waitress was nice and friendly. We ordered calamari fritti (so good!) and had the bread and oil as well as ceasar salads. To be honest, after this I honestly wasn't even hungry anymore, but did eat some of the main course. I had the Gabriella Fettucini and my husband had the Penne Al Vodka with chicken. Both were REALLY good, would recommend. The restaurant was packed but service was good. 3 birthday party groups came in while we were seated, on a Sunday evening.

Booked for My Birthday - Left in Tears! I chose this restaurant to celebrate my birthday after reading so many positive reviews. I booked in advance and clearly mentioned that it was my birthday, asked for a nice booth and a nice special evening. I walked in excited and walked out completely heartbroken. Although we were seated on time, the table we were given was tiny, placed right in the middle of the room, with unstable chairs that honestly made me afraid I might fall. People were constantly brushing past us to reach other tables or exit, and the aisle was so narrow that there was absolutely no personal space. It was loud, chaotic, and incredibly uncomfortable - not at all the atmosphere you hope for on your birthday. The food only made things worse. After waiting about 30 minutes, our appetizer arrived looking careless and unappetizing: raw vegetables and raw mushrooms thrown onto a plate and soaked in oil, nearly $20 for something that looked inedible. We waited for 40 minutes for salads and almost an hour for our main courses. By then, the disappointment had already set in. My pasta was drowning in oil and tasted like spoiled milk. My husband’s steak was served on top of the chips, making it impossible to cut or enjoy and it didn’t taste good either. This was the complete opposite of the “delicious food” everyone had promised in the reviews. The waitress truly tried her best and was kind, but she was clearly overwhelmed with too many tables. We waited a long time just to get the check and then waited again for it to be processed. I had hoped to at least end my birthday dinner with a slice of cake, but the noise, discomfort, and frustration were so overwhelming that I just wanted to leave as quickly as possible. My birthday was ruined, and I left in tears. This place is absolutely not worth the time, money, or emotional energy. The only reason it gets 2 stars is because the waitress was nice, otherwise it would be a 1-star experience.

Where do I even begin besides the fact that this is in Manitou which is a beautiful part of town to visit. This is some of the most delicious Italian food I've ever had and the prices are extremely fair. Two people. Two glasses of wine, two entrees and a cannoli for only a hundred bucks which these days is a pretty good deal. I had the chicken parmigiana and it was absolutely phenomenal. The staff was extremely friendly. The reservation process was extremely easy, not to mention it's a great atmosphere.

Not sure why this restaurant is not closer to five stars because the food, the service and everything outstanding. Louise was our waitress and she did an amazing job at recommending drinks, wine, appetizers and food. She’s tried everything and did an amazing job at guiding us to the right things for us. We had the peach and Barada appetizer which unfortunately is seasonal but very good. In fact, the table next to us had the same thing. We also had the side Caesar salad and a pasta with olive oil, spinach and tomatoes. I couldn’t pass up the cheesecake with cherries and chocolate. You shouldn’t pass it up either. My husband spotted this restaurant as we were driving by and even though it was rated 4.5 and I usually only go to restaurants rated 4.8- I acquiesce to him and I am so glad I did! It really does deserve 5 stars. Try this amazing Italian restaurant!

Unbelievably incredible. Such a Colorado Springs staple!!!!! Our waitress was Taylor and she was phenomenal! Probably some of the best service we've had locally. The food portions are insane so if you're trying to justify the price (which is affordable for the quality food you're getting) just know that you'll have a good square meal for the next day. These aren't your mommas mozzarella sticks, they are massive and amazing! So if you want organic tasting, great ingredients and superior service, this is the place to go! We had one entree, two meals, and 4 alcoholic beverages and only paid $150, that may sound like a lot but you're getting two days worth of food. 10/10.

Went there for dinner with some friends. One of the group had mentioned it and we were all happy to go. We made a reservation online and then we called cause more people joined, and it was an easy fix. They have ample parking behind the building that's just for them. I was the first to arrive and was seated in our table. I then got greeted by Jamie (our fabulous and talented server). She was very attentive. To drink I got the Italian Crown ( delicious cinnamony sweetness) and to eat I got the Risotto Pomodoro. It was my first time having it like that. It was good, however, I enjoy the traditional risotto more. Overall we had a fabulous time. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was very Italy like.

4.5 stars! Another great date night restaurant. After years of hearing about Paravicini's, I finally tried them out and was very impressed by the ambiance, service, and food. Located in OCC, this eatery has a very casual (packed and loud) vibe - very hip, very Italian. The menu is extensive and has something for everyone. For Apps, we tried the calamari and the risotto balls. Both items were fresh and very flavorful. 5/5 Complimentary house salad and bread were served between the meal. For main course, I tried the salmon Jeanette. The dish was very flavorful, albeit a little too salty, but the red wine I ordered helped. 4/5 The dessert was the seasonal pumpkin spice tiramisu. Sweet and filling. 4/5. Overall, it was a great experience, made even better by the courteous service of our hostess. I'll be back for sure to try out the other dishes on their very appealing menu.

Wonderful place for straightforward delicious Italian food! Definitely a great find in CO Springs after a whole morning of hiking Garden of the Gods and enjoying soulful breathtaking views! Ambiance is a 5, you get that perfect mix of cozy warm feel but with elevated clean decor that gives you a neighborhood trendy dining. Wait staff was friendly, very helpful in describing the food and giving recommendations. You get warm freshly baked bread which you dip with olive oil and balsamic vinegar available on your table. They offer cannelloni which I know isn't offered at all Italian restaurants anywhere. So I ordered the sausage cannelloni. It had the right amount of sausage with ricotta. The sauce was just right. The calamari appetizer came in two choices: plain fried like most offered at other restaurants ; and what I highly recommend the fried calamari served with fresh olive tapenade! Yummy, 5 stars! There was such generous portion of the tapenade that I took the rest of it back to the hotel and used the tapenade as an accompaniment to homemade chips (baked dry and crispy!) that were the side of fish and chips! Other recommended items to order: fish & chips (chips were atypical - very crispy (baked?) and not greasy!, veal parm and definitely the panna cotta for dessert! Topped with fresh (not canned!) mandarin oranges... Highly recommend this gem of a restaurant! If I move to CO Springs, you'll find me here on Saturdays!

My family dined at Paravicini's this past Sunday and the food, drinks and table service were phenomenal. I did have a 6p booking and we weren't seated until 630p. Most bookings checked in and proceeded to wait around the same length of time. I'm not sure if this is common but if it is, I'd say expect a wait even with a rezzie. I didn't mind terribly I was with my son and I'd be happy to sit in a dark alley if I'm with him and kept reminding myself this is probably a good sign to select a dining option that has families and large parties spilling out onto the sidewalk one group after the next for Sunday supper. They have to be doing something right! And they are. Our server was River and she was fantastic! We had such an incredible meal. The perfect table for our family shenanigans. We aren't the most quiet bunch once wine is flowing and we're in celebratory mode. The convo, the laughing, the volume (: and we're not even Italian but we are family. My son, sister and I started with various glasses of red and later had a tasting of each others. All three were fantastic. I had a montepulciano, my son had a Zin and my sister had a Merlot. My mom had a lemon drop. We started with the calamari, table bread was yummy, our salads were delish!!!! I think the real banger would be ordering their Caesar + Gorgonzola + one of those little peppers that's on the reg dinner salad + fresh ground pepper. Future said it first, bad bitche$ eat seafood! Well we ordered seafood dishes, so there's that. I had the Seafood Fra Diavolo with clams but also added shrimp, my son had the Tutto di Mare, entire seafood pasta dish and my mom and sister went halfsies on the Shrimp Puttanesca, and grilled salmon pasta plate which may be the best salmon I've tasted in as long as I can recall. We did cappuccinos to finish and a lovely cannoli birthday treat was presented to me. I love a cannoli, and theirs was perfection. Highly recommend! I'm not usually an Italian restaurant type person for my birthday but Paravicini's was perfection. Can't wait to return next time I'm in town!

Finally found some good Italian food in the Springs! Everything is so fresh and delicious, starting with that bread! We ordered the pumpkin ravioli and the chicken parmasean - both dishes had such great flavors. I was so impressed. The service was amazing as well! This is a must visit - we will be back.

Fantastic restaurant and great food! Loved the decor and vibe . Very cozy and inviting. I really enjoyed pasta dishes . Caprese had very good quality mozzarella. I will certainly return. Service was great too. I didn't necessarily care for desserts. The tiramisu lacked espresso flavor to me.

Good as usual! Arancini was the bomb appetizer. Pasta entrees come with house salad or (very good) Caesar for up charge. The gnocchi bolognese was really good, and the sauce was the best part. Desserts are just ok, the chocolate seduction cake is the best.

A great place for lunch and dinner! The restaurant staff was kind and welcoming and the space was update to date and clean. I visited for lunch and appreciated the complimentary fresh loaf of bread! I tried their mozz and ordered the chicken sandwich for my meal, the offer big portions for their prices so I had some left overs for home. They tasted just a delicious later!

I've been wanting to try this place for a while now! The restaurant itself is very cute I loved the vibe of the place. The service too was great, it was a bit slow but it was definitely a busy night so that's to be expected. Our server was also just nice in general. The food was amazing! Im usually picky about what i deem good italian food but this place sure hit the mark! It's on the pricier side but the ingredients are all fresh and portioned well. Every savory element we had was amazing giving anything below a 5 wouldn't give them justice. The tiramisu was more of a tres lechęs cake to me since it lacked some espresso flavor but nothing to fuss about. Highly recommend this spot and definitely will be back!

SO good! Bread was warm amd delicious! Calamari was great also. Ceasar salads fresh and good size. Main course entrees were amazing. We had the Fettuccini Gabriella and Penne al Vodka with chicken. Waitress was friendly and attentive even though restaurant was completely full on a Sunday evening. Several large groups with birthdays.

We came here on the recommendation of friends. The food was incredibly fresh and delicious. I ordered the daily special, ravioli with poblano peppers and smoked Gouda cheese. We ordered appetizers, not realizing that the main courses come with bread and a personalized salad. You can also reserve a table in advance.

This place was recommended to us by a local. It was in a cool old building on a corner. The hostess and waitress were very welcoming. We both ordered veal parmigiana. It came with a salad and a delicious loaf of bread. The veal was awesome. We loved this meal. Highly recommended.

While the location wasn't the best in my opinion, the restaurant itself was absolutely stunning and homey! We went on a Sunday for lunch and the place was packed. I mean like all three dinning rooms filled. This only brought my expectations even higher. We went with the highly reviewed and loved items. Arancini for appetizers and Baked Manicotti for Main. We absolutely fell in love with the Arancini, had us practically licking the plate because the pesto sauce was so creamy and decadent. The Baked Manicotti was good too but my friend thought it was a bit too cheesy and I thought the marinara was a bit too salty. All in all, I would recommend this place!

Sadly, while half the food was good the service was absolutely flat and uncomfortable. We waited forever to be acknowledged by our server who had the personality of a piece of cardboard. He didn't introduce himself, but heard him do it to others. It felt like he hated being there and we were an inconvenience. Our meals were served and saw other diners being offered parm cheese and we never were. Ordered a lunch cannelloni and tutti mare red sauce. The salad with the entree was uncomfortably ice cold almost frozen. The add on soup for $4 was tasty albeit small. The cannelloni was a nice portion and I enjoyed the red sauce it was served with. The seafood pasta sauce had a wonderful hint of lemon, however the linguine was under done, and had more than an aldente bite to it which is unfortunate. We were served an unopened mussel considering there were only 4-5 that's a bit annoying The most disappointing was the $9 mandarin orange panna cotta that was thick like gelatin, it stuck to my spoon and for funsies when I tried to fling it, it was stuck. I should have sent it back as it was not worth the price considering how terribly made it was but also the lack of flavor.

First off thanks for a parking lot. I truly hate looking for street parking. Next - I loved the outdoor mom and pop restaurant look. The inside was more 80's modern look. The food amount was a lot. So I ended up eating the bread they gave at the table (YUM) , Wedding Soup (so fresh and hearty and healthy!) and the side salad that came with my main course meal for lunch. I ordered the cod for dinner and just brought it home. You can tell the soup was all fresh because the broth was as if they cooked it in house and not oily or from a jar. The cod at home was delicious. Our waitress was very knowledgeable and she knew exactly what we wanted even though I took some stuff home. I highly recommend this place. They have a large selection of seafood and items you can only order there but also the Italian classics.

Paravicini's is exactly what you would expect from a long running Italian restaurant. They deliver classic dishes that are very good, but nothing is going to blow you away. For appetizers we had the fried ricotta balls and the calamari fritti. Both were exactly what you expect and I probably wouldn't order again unless you are craving calamari. The house salad was great. The dressing was very light in amount on the dish, which was made up in most of the flavor coming from the raw onions and tomatoes. The tomatoes were the strongest flavor wise and they added a nice sweetness while the onions weren't overpowering and added a nice bite to the salad. For entree I had the gnocchi bolognese with a meatball added. The bolognese sauce was delicious and the gnocchi was good as well. The meatball was very dense and compact. The meatball came from some very fine ground meats as every bite almost felt smooth. Flavor wise it wasn't very strong but the texture was not like much I've had before. For dessert we had the tiramisu, the bada bing cheesecake, and the cannoli. The bada bing cheesecake was nice. The cannoli was a very standard cannoli that was about the same you get at most places. The added pistachios didn't add much to the dish though. The tiramisu, however, was amazing. The ladyfingers weren't too soggy and the mascarpone was impeccable. The best dish we had. While it is a little bit expensive, with the great service and the real Italian feel with the Italian music playing, I would recommend coming here for a classic Italian meal and I'd definitely get the tiramisu.

This restaurant never disappoints us. We celebrated our anniversary with two delicious entrees. The Veal Toscano is amazing. Excellent selection of wines to compliment our meal choices. We split a decadent chocolate cake for dessert. Service from our waiter, Adam was very professional. The quality of the food and service is unmatched in Colorado Springs.

Master chef Auguste Gusteau famously stated that anyone can cook. If you focus on what you left behind, you will never see what lies ahead. Little did I know that today would lead me to the most outstanding Italian food I have ever had the pleasure of tasting. Starting with the artichoke fritti the flavor profile excited my pallet and left me craving more. The salad was elegant but light and the bread was fluffy and soft. Lastly the entree... the pasta was as cooked to perfection and the cream cheese pasta sauce was elegant and delicious. I would give this restaurant 5/5 stars across the board for going far beyond my expectations.

I cannot recommend this place enough! I went on a solo trip for my 30th birthday and decided to stop in for pasta as this place came highly recommended. I was blown away! The best pasta I've ever had (penne alla vodka with shrimp)! The complimentary bread was delicious and they even gave me extra vodka sauce for dipping! Saved enough room for the cheesecake dessert and fuck it was SO GOOD. Everything was cooked to perfection, and the service was amazing. I am devastated that I was only in town for a short visit because this would be a staple if I were local. Check it out!

Our table of 4 each ordered one of the specials. OMG so good! Make a reservation, even if you come early. We came at 4:30, and almost didn't get a table. Bison ravioli was so flavorful. Michael was friendly, attentive and helpful with recommendations. I don't know how this place isn't 5 stars!!!

I felt like I could be in North End Boston at a family italian restaurant. The friendly service was genuine and combined with the atmosphere in old town Colorado Springs makes Patavicini's a goto for a good italian dinner. The veal parmesan hit the spot. My wife was overjoyed with the Gluten-free pasta, tender chicken, and rich creamy Alfredo. The martinis stood out. Hand stuffed blue cheese olives take a gin martini to another level. I appreciated the attention to detail.

5 or 6 times there now. We're from Denver. I can't say enough about how much we love this place. Especially today as I've reheated my lunch from Sunday November 16. Fish, which normally I would throw out. So great again. Highly recommend. PS the fish was seared cod with mushrooms and pancetta over angel hair pasta in a butter white wine... Yum to the nth degree. Peace.

This restaurant didn't meet my expectations especially for a place that prides itself on being family-friendly, fresh, and authentically Italian. It might satisfy those who haven't had the opportunity to enjoy true Italian cuisine, but for anyone who has, the difference is noticeable. I ordered the Chicken Marco, and while the portion of chicken was large, it was overcooked and dry. Oddly, the Chicken Florentine came with significantly less chicken and only a small side of angel hair pasta, making the portions feel inconsistent and underwhelming. The arancini--allegedly featured on the Food Network--was cold on the inside, including the peas, which left me questioning the freshness. Service was a low point. Our server, Danny, interrupted our order not once but twice to loudly address the table next to us mid-conversation. While I understand it's a family-style setting, that level of disregard for our table felt incredibly disrespectful and unprofessional. Sadly, this isn't a place I'd return to. There are far better options for Italian food where both the service and quality live up to their claims.

Paravicini's is a great eat in restaurant with an outdoor patio. It was raining a bit, so we ate inside and it was a little more boisterous than normal, because everyone was indoors! My favorite is still the chicken parmesan substituting the alfredo for the marinara and also having angel hair instead of the penne pasta.

This is the best Italian restaurant I have ever been to hands down! Came here with a big group on a Sunday for lunch, and thankfully, they take reservations. We had no wait and were sat immediately. They have the best Italian sodas and so many flavors, but I couldn't find them in the menu. Luckily, I knew to ask. The blackberry Italian soda was so rich and creamy! They also had white bread sitting for everyone and olive oil to dip it in. I ordered the cheese ravioli, and it was to die for! They were perfectly cooked, so soft and cheesy! The sauce was so sweet and paired, so well with the ravioli. I ate them so fast, and they made me so full! The entre also came with the house salad, which comes with a vinaigrette dressing. Everything on the salad was so fresh! Our server kept our drinks full and stopped by a lot to check on us. I highly recommend this place and make a reservation because they get full fast!

I've visited Paravicini's a couple of times, and it never disappoints! The restaurant has a beautifully decorated interior, and the staff is very kind and attentive. Our table started with the fried mozzarella and the calamari. Both were delicious! I highly recommend starting with their appetizers. Our meals came with a house salad, which is delicious. Not sure what dressing they use, but it's pretty light and delicious. For my main course, I went with the cheese ravioli paired with their incredible vodka sauce. Let me tell you, that sauce is an absolute game changer, it's extremely creamy and delicious. Overall, I had a great visit recently and enjoy their food.

The wife and I went to dinner and totally loved this place. Small, packed ( for a Tuesday night). The place looks like mobster were there. Very Italian. The food was fantastic and the service was awesome. We did wait for a table so get a reservation... the hostess sat us at the bar. The bartender Alissa was friendly and attentive. we had a great time

Stopped in here on a whim while looking for a local dinner spot. The hostesses were both rude and were making faces (eye rolling) at my small kids which was weird and uncomfortable. Later, another member of our party mentioned they were scowling at them during our wait and felt they were incredibly rude. The restaurant was busy and we thought our server provided good service especially considering how many tables he had. The food was good 6/10.

We love to visit this area on vacation, but man are we sure glad we stopped here for the first time!! The service by Louise was seriously the best we've had in years (prompt, honest, kind, and genuine), the food was out of this world, and ambiance was so on point! Will definitely be back and highly recommend!!

We went this week for my husband's birthday - what a celebration we had! I have lots of food sensitivities; their Salmon Francesco was perfect for me. One of my husband's birthday highlights was watching me savor every bite of this delicious meal. We have decided this will be our go-to for celebrations from now on! Having lived in Europe for years, I love the decor. It feels a bit like "home" for me. And the service was stellar. We loved that the staff were available to chat for just a minute now and again. That made us feel a real part of the environment - lovely.

We've been coming here for many years, and only had one meal that was not up to par. After communicating with chef, he understood where we were coming from. Since deciding to give it another chance, we've been happy when we eat here, which is often. Love the appetizers, and always order the Cesar salad. My brother had a house salad when he came with my husband and I, and it looked amazing! There are so many tasty entrees to choose from, but we so love the veal. Wine selection is good, and my husband loves starting out with a cocktail. The Badda Bing cheese cake is yummy! Casual, or simi-dressy if you wish, but clean and classy either way. River was our waitress, and will ask for her next time.

Ok hurray for chocolate martinis. My favorite thing about Italian restaurants is they typically can make a killer chocolate martini. My team came here on a Tuesday early evening. Glad we had made a reservation because this place was hopping. On a Tuesday at 530. The ambience was very Italian bistro. I had the lasagne which had a nice added touch of spinach as a layer. Way too much food for me to eat because the portions are more than generous. Did I mention the chocolate martini?

We ordered food to go, got home and all of our plates were upside down. All of our food spilled in the car. We were very disappointed in the service. I just spent a lot of money on food we never ate and an expensive car wash because of seafood, noodles and Marsala all over a rental carpet. I am not impressed! Update- we notified the restaurant manager of our situation and they gave us our money back. That took the Service to a different level.

I brought my parents here years ago and it was fine. I brought my spouse recently and was very disappointed. We were sat in a corner which would have been okay if the bench was clean. Then the staff kept coming and disrupting our conversation to shift the curtains. We ordered. The salads were fine. The entrees were not. The spaghetti was dry and the salmon with risotto was extra wet. We went home and immediately spent the rest of the night on the toilet. When the concern was brought up to the owner later the response was "Well you can't please everybody".

Went here on a recommendation, and I thought it was OK. Honestly the appetizer and the salad were the best part. We got two entrees off the "specials" menu which maybe was our downfall, but again it was meh for the price. The restaurant itself is nice and the service was good too, but food was just alright

The food is good. I tried 2 different pasta dishes and both had noodles that were al dente. My friends also said their dishes were the same! But it was still good. The Arancini wasn't the best I have had but it was still good. The bread is complimentary, ask for butter if you want it. Entrees are served with a house salad, but you can upgrade to Caesar for $5. They do charge a 3% inflation fee on the meal. Make a reservation on open table!

I'm sorry what inflation are you suffering right now that you have to charge me an inflation fee? I feel bad for the server who was embarrassed and apologetic that this was happening. Maybe disclose it up front and not just stick it on my Bil cowardly at the end of the meal. Food was good service was good but management is spineless and gutless. I won't be back.

Classic Italian vibes, the portions were large, our waitress Taylor was awesome. She provided great service, provided great recommendations and the food was like my hubbies grandma was in the kitchen making magic happen.

We visited Paravicini's by a recommendation from our hotel's front desk manager. It did not disappoint! We ordered the Tonio's Rigatoni and Chicken Parmesan (pictured). Both were SO delicious. Our waitress (shout out Chloe!!) was so kind and made us feel right at home. She helped with some recommendations, including the tiramisu! It was a smaller place than we thought, but that made it feel all the more homey! 10/10 would go back again.

Took 2 out of town business associates for dinner and had a fantastic experience! Food was great, service was exceptional and the atmosphere was as close to an Italian restaurant in Italy as I've experienced in Colorado. Kudos for an amazing cultural and culinary evening.

Not so hidden gem, but wow what a great menu! The food was absolutely delicious and fresh, don't miss out on the lightly battered fried artichoke hearts! They were so appetizing and unique. The pasta was absolutely out of this world, my husband and I throughly enjoyed our dinner here! The inside of the restaurant is tight but very clean and comfortable! The service was excellent!

We stopped here after a long day. It was just what we needed. It is old school atmosphere and food. When you walk up and hear italian music then you know it is a win-win. Everyone was very nice. Service was good. The spaghetti and homemade meatballs were spot on with just the right flavoring. They give you 2 very large meatballs with plenty of sauce. Salad comes with the meal but only 2 choices of dressings, Caesar and oil and vinegar. Need a place to stop and relax, this is the place. Very affordable and easy to find. In the heart of Old Colorado City.

What a cute, clean, and cozy restaurant in Colorado Springs! The lowkey-formal restaurant had patient servers, nice ambiance, and most importantly, good food! We got spritz, whiskey cocktails, house-salads and bread, and pastas. All plates were delicious! The salmon was cooked well and the noodles added a great flavor profile to the dish. Def recommend this place if you're in Colorado Springs!
