Red Gravy

Best Italian food I’ve ever had! Everything was so good! I could eat a whole pot of that Tomato Bisque! The Caprese Salad was AMAZING! Our waitress, Amanda, was spectacular. Great personality, extremely helpful, and answered all our questions. She definitely made it a great experience! Will definitely be going back, and hopefully when Amanda is working! Thank you so much!

We had a midday event in downtown Colorado Springs and thought we would stop at Red Gravy and have the lunch special. For $15.99 you get a half portion of a pasta dish and choice of salad or soup (slight up charge for some of the premium pasta dishes). My wife had the tomato bisque and I had the beef enchilada soup. Both were really good with a lot of flavor. For entrees my wife had the Sunday Gravy while I was content with Spaghetti and Meatball (I did pay the up charge for an extra meatball). We were both very happy with our meals. Service was excellent and we thought our bill was quite reasonable. We recommend Red Gravy if you’re going to be downtown and looking for something Italian!

We didn't have a reservation, so we sat at the bar top. Cassie took great care of us. Prices were reasonable, and the food was outstanding. I am always looking for great gnocchi, brussels sprouts, and chicken marsala. They hit it out of the park on all 3. The portions were big enough that I can enjoy some later, too. We will definitely be back!

I recently went to Red Gravy after a Rockies game and was greeted by Conner, our waiter he was super kind, very friendly and very well dressed. He made some funny jokes about the pronunciation of a certain pasta, offered us some bread and not much longer after ordering, a food runner / busser came and brought out our food. My pasta was amazing and was a very good price for how much they give. All and all I loved this place and will definitely be returning on my next trip to Colorado Springs. Thank you to the host and our waiter they were amazing and made the whole experience just that much better!!! :))

I went here a few days ago with my family. Since moving to Colorado Springs, we've been trying to try as many restaurants as possible. They were pretty busy for a Monday with only 2 servers on staff. I thought they did a pretty good job considering the circumstances. The ticket times were very slow and my dish (Spaghetti & Meatballs w/ Vodka Sauce) came out room temp and clumpy. Our server did handle it rather quickly and it was red sauced. The food was really good. My main issue is that we were applied auto gratuity because we had 3 kids and a breast feeding baby and they counted us all 6 diners. When we protested, we were told it's the policy but they did adjust it. Our check noted that there were only 5 diners but they said their policy requires them to add auto gratuity to any party of 6 or more. I've owned and managed restaurants for over 20 years and am well aware that those policies require logic and discretion. It put a damper on our dining experience.

We went in between lunch and dinner on a Saturday. Good wine selection. Loved the pasta - meatballs were excellent. Dessert was scrumptious. They do have GF options. We had great service from Jazz.

Excellent Italian food! Was surprised to see Toasted Ravioli ("T-Ravs") on the menu and was told this is a St. Louis style Italian restaurant (think The Hill in STL). The quality of the food, friendliness of the staff, and laid back, relaxed atmosphere made this an awesome experience. We tried the T-Ravs (spot on), Brussels sprouts, and Cacio E Pepe. All was delicious!

This Italian gem delivers an authentic culinary experience with standout dishes that transport you straight to Italy. The **Sunday Gravy** entrée was a highlight—rich, flavorful, and generously portioned, perfect for sharing. While the pasta dishes impressed with their traditional flair and impeccable execution, the pizza was a letdown, missing the true essence of an Italian-style pie. A pleasant surprise on the house wine list was a **Montepulciano**, a bold choice that lived up to expectations. Service was efficient, and the staff were warm and welcoming, enhancing the overall dining experience. Despite the pizza misstep, this restaurant shines with its commitment to authentic flavors and quality ingredients. A must-visit for lovers of classic Italian cuisine.

We heard the owner has a St. Louis influence. Being in town for STL I had to try this place. I know my family from STL who live in Colorado complain about not having authentic toasted raviolis. They tend to be cheese filled. Inaccurate for the true appetizer found in STL. This place not only had the correct travs, it had gooey butter cake! Another STL original. I was impressed. We enjoyed a fabulous lunch and great service. They were under staffed and rocked it! They were attentive and kept us informed. I also love the second Sunday event. If I was in town I would definitely check it out!

All the food items we ordered were super good: crispy risotto balls (highly recommend!) had a thin crispy shell but warm and soft filling that paired really well together and the two other pastas we ordered were great as well. Service was really nice and friendly, and I love that they mentioned the owner was a winner of Guy Fieri's gameshow?? Restaurant was also pretty nice with high ceilings, cute signs showing the way to the bathroom, nice windows at the front of the restaurant.

One of the more painful facets of living in Colorado Springs is eating out. Food is such a low priority here that it's mutually understood between servers, restaurants and customers alike. You go to Denver or Boulder if you're at all concerned. Returning to Red Gravy tonight was a conflicting experience. The Caesar salad was pretty good. They tossed in some Roma tomatoes, which, averse a little to the traditional recipe, worked well. They weren't very fresh. But that's Colorado produce. The butter garlic spaghetti was a pleasant surprise. While I don't know if the pasta was homemade, the sauce was genuinely well concocted. The service? Bizarre. While I'm 1/3 finished with the salad? You got it. They serve the pasta. No one apologizes. No one offers to bring back the spaghetti to keep it warm. Servers (3) asked me 1-2 times each if I wanted something to drink. One must have walked by the table 15 times and looked at me when I'm in the throes of stuffing my face. I have a sensitive spot on this as I regard eating one of the more mundane and embarrassing activities we humans engage in--if stared at in the actual act of shoving food in the mouth. Call me crazy. I did have to pro actively ask for: cheese, crushed red peppers, bread, vinegar and butter for the bread, which, they didn't have. The table was egregiously rocking back and forth on the beautiful, genuine wooden floor. If this place could work on its service, it would earn probably a 5 star rating from me. You always have to consider location and the restaurant climate when evaluating restaurants. I suspect that the pasta is store bought. If they want/ed to hit it out of the park, make the pasta in-house. Sorry. No photos this time and a sparse commentary on the spaghetti sauce. It was tasty, though. I will return likely.

My husband and I had a great time eating at Red Gravy during our visit to Colorado Springs! We were seated outside immediately when we arrived, and the hostess and our waiters were super friendly and informative. We ordered the calamari, a cup of the tomato bisque, and the spinach salad (I still DREAM about that vinaigrette I can't lie) as our starters. I ordered the fettuccine carbonara (delicious but a heavy dish - be hungry for this one!) and my husband got the bucatini bolognese. We were too full for dessert, but they had some very tasty options! The weather was perfect for sitting outside - there was some construction during our visit but nothing too wild. Inside it's dimly lit and cozy. The bathrooms are far to the back, so you get to walk off some of the food on your way! All in all, we loved our experience and would really like to come back if we visit the area again!

The food & service was wonderful! Highly recommend! Met the owner/chef; awesome personality! Our bartender Cassie was awesome!!!! Do yourself a favor & come here! Guy Fieri did!

We stopped by this restaurant about two weeks ago while in town for the USAFA Prepatory graduation. My nephew lives in Colorado Sorings and loves this place so he brought us here for dinner after the graduation. I had the shrimp pesto and it was okay but not my favorite. For appetizers we had some kind of mini calzones with marinara dipping sauce and it was amazing..we had a larger group.. 7 of us and our server was okay but several times I ran out of water and I couldn't find my server to flag him down for a refill which was a bummer. This place is huge..if you walk back toward the bathrooms, there's a whole other area with a bar and horses painted on the wall that looks like a staple and it is really cool. I might give this place another shot another time but I was not super impressed or maybe my nephew overhyped it..regardless, this place might not be for me, but it might be for you! Good luck. Also, they valet for 2 hours for the parking structure down the street.

Most food here is great, like meatballs and brussel sprouts. A few misses. Staff is friendly, but service is INSANELY slow. The only reason I didn't just walk out on two occasions was that I had nothing else going on at the moment. Inside is clean and spacious.

My husband and I went during our travels to COS. Food was amazing and presented well! Our server was extremely nice and gave great recommendations as it was our first time. Wish we had one of these back home!!!

Run, don't walk, AWAY from Red Gravy! We braved the construction by going around the block multiple times and parking much too far away, hoping it would be worth it. It wasn't. We were turned off immediately by the bar towels--ripped and old--that served as napkins. Seriously? I was especially skeeved when the bartender used the same type of towel to dry the stemware. When I questioned (at the end of our meal) how they could tell the difference between the bar towels and the napkins, the response was suspect. She (Em M.) became defensive and intimated that I could have asked for a different napkin in the beginning. Huh??? My fault? My feeling, and I could be asking for too much here, is that an observant/seasoned server/bartender would have noticed that I pushed said disgusting "napkin/bar towel" away after sitting down, and that I added brown lettuce from our shared Caesar salad to my bread plate, indicating a less than desirable salad. Conclusion: I feel some training is in order, and dedicated napkins should be offered that don't resemble bar towels. Red Gravy dishes up great pasta...if you can get past the aforementioned issues. Except, if you want peas with your carbonara, they will cost you an extra $.85 (up from $.50 the last time we were there). Seriously???? NEVER going back or offering positive referrals. Another training tip...given the terrible construction going on, offering a guest a complimentary cocktail/dessert would go far to cement loyalty during a rough phase.

Went to dinner here last night. I had the veal masala and my friend ordered the fettuccine carbonara. Both were really delicious! We had some appetizers as well. Service was excellent. Waitress and bartender were top tier and on it throughout the night! We were seated in the blue room I think (the back area) and it was very nice. Honestly it was much better ambiance than the front area and I greatly enjoyed the energy in this smaller, quieter section. I've been to Red Gravy a few times over the years and this was by far the best experience yet.

Great bar service! Great atmosphere and food too! The St Louis style pizza was the best pizza I have had in awhile. The Italian sausage on top had so much flavor and the provel cheese was to die for.

Went with 3 other ppl and got a table quickly on a Wednesday night. They offer complimentary bread, which was soft. It went great with the awesome mushroom risotto I ordered. It's a completely vegetarian meal. I recommend. My dinner mates had a chicken pizza (he loved it), penne paste (loved it) and another pizza (loved it). I appreciated the water refill system, they keep a bottle of water on the table to allow you to refill when needed. The server was very knowledgeable and attentive.

Love this place so much! Fabulous vibe! The servers, bartenders and staff are simply the best. Zoe at the bar is our favorite The food is outstanding and wines are fantastic and reasonably priced. Tonight we had arancini, Cesar salad with salmon and stroganoff!! So amazing! All of it!!

Tutto mare- Bland undercooked pasta, Walmart shrimp, no herb mix, massively overpriced. Tomatoes were underripe. Fettuccine Alfredo- under seasoned, noodles were meh. WAY too much sauce/ id like some noodles with my sauce please. Asked for no Parmesan and was still served Parmesan- TWICE. price was average but not worth the experience The lemonade was absolutely disgusting- they use Minute Maid lemonade- they used the cheapest ingredients they can find. Gross- do not recommend and have been here before and it looks like the place is just going downhill. Definitely not coming back.

This place is a total hidden gem for Italian food. We sat in the back room where it was a little bit quieter and were served by a wonderful woman who did it all. Portions are very large and drinks are well made and delicious. I wish we were more local.

I have never felt so disrespected by a restaurant in my life. Tonight, during the Festival of Lights, downtown was incredibly busy. As someone who has had a heart transplant and lives with several chronic conditions, I am highly immunosuppressed and often end up in the hospital each year. We noticed there were several tables outside, so my husband went in to ask if we could order food and sit there. He was told it was fine. While he took our order, my daughter and I tried to find a place to sit outside. Suddenly, a man came out, yelling at me and insisting that we couldn't sit there. I tried to explain our situation, but he just continued to scream at me, saying it was the same for everyone. I pointed out that it wasn't the same for all customers--if I go inside a crowded restaurant during the holiday season, there's a high chance I could get sick and end up in the hospital. There were literally no customers at the tables outside, but he insisted they were reserved for people who wanted to come out and look. I reminded him that we were customers trying to order food, but my words fell on deaf ears. I will never return to that restaurant, and I will be sure to share my experience with my friends in the Springs. The yelling was so excessive that it brought me to tears, and we ended up leaving the entire event to go home. Thank you, Red Gravy, for failing to accommodate someone with serious medical conditions and for making me feel like I don't belong in this world.

This is one of my favorite Italian places, everything I've had has been amazing. The tomato soup is so good, even better when you dip the cheesy garlic bread into it. The spaghetti meatballs are excellent, and the blueberry cake is soo good if you're not too full from dinner. This place is cute and the service was good!

Went there last night with friends. The fettucine carbonara was outstanding, especially with peas. It's a delicious heavy cream sauce with bacon bits. BUT, it's not carbonara. Carbonara is a light sauce with egg and pancetta. My wife had chicken marsala. Wow, what a meal! Sweet, savory, spicy all in there. The chicken cooked exactly right (which is not common) The meat, vegetable, and gnocci all provided different textures. Really the best meal on the table, very complicated and super delicious.

4-30-24 update: Follow up. I have communicated with Chef Eric. He offered what I believe was a sincere apology, as I would expect to be done. I'll reiterate: My past visits have been wonderful, and the food amazing. His staff completely let him down, as well as me. Hopefully this will be a learning opportunity for his staff. 1 star for lack of service. Second star for Eric's response. There might be a second chance down the road. Chalk this up to a bad night. **** 4-29-24 Not off to a good start. 6:15 reservations for 2 to celebrate our anniversary. Came early. Seated promptly. 10 minutes and still not even greeted or acknowledged, despite a server stopping several times at the table next to us. Tables sat after us were greeted, and drink orders taken. There are a total of 5 occupied tables including ours. Not even eye contact here. 15 minutes now. Asked the host to send over a manager. 20 minute mark. The server that ignored us came to apologize. Too little too late. Way to kill the mood of our celebration. We went next to Jack Quinn's where we weren't ignored and had a wonderful meal with GREAT service. Too bad. We were looking forward to the meal. Amazing food in the past. Been supporting this business for a long time. Not sure I'm willing to risk this lack of service again. Note: We made this reservation through Open Table. We drove 25 miles to be there, and were there early. We left after receiving NO service. Open Table has a points system, based on fulfilled reservations. Staff chose to mark my reservation as "cancelled", thus depriving me of points for a reservation that we honored, as well as the opportunity to leave any feedback. *****

We were originally going somewhere else but realized they were so full so we went across the street and found this in downtown and it was a great decision! From the tomato bisque and red gravy salad to the entrees it was truly an experience!

Went here after a long day in nature. Food was really good! I didn't notice, but the night I went was half off wine and I regret not getting a bottle. Service seemed overwhelmed. I ordered and barely spoke to the server beyond that.

WOW! If I only had one word to describe this place that would be it! WOW! The staff, the food, the setting! This place was amazing, stumbled across it while searching for a place to eat for my birthday dinner. The price was even better, ordered drinks, appetizers and dessert all under $100?! I will definitely be back and will always recommend this place.

The food here was just barely ok, it was very bland and definitely not authentic Italian. The use the powder Parmesan cheese on everything, seriously. I'm not sure why the wouldn't at the very least use a quality fresh grated cheese. The chicken Alfredo was so flat in flavor and pasty in texture . The Cesar salad was wilted and dressing was stale. The best part of the meal was the bread they bring you while you wait for your food. The ambiance was not the place to go for a quiet dinner, the whole place was so loud with blaring pop music, it felt much more like a bar than a place to enjoy an evening meal. We definitely will not go back to this place.

I never leave reviews, but decided to after we had such a horrific experience. My husband ordered the Lasagna and I ordered Campanella Chicken Pesto. We decided to get a side salad at $8.50 each, expecting to get a nice salad. Well, it was embarrassing to look at. It was as if it had been drowning in oil for weeks, and the red onion was super thin and limp sopping in oil with the lettuce. When our food arrived it wasn't any better. The lasagna was mushy and the sauce was super tangy. The pesto dish had a few tiny little pieces of sun-dried tomato, no pine nuts, and the chicken was about 3/4 of an inch long and 1/4 inch thick and not much of that either. The sauce was very poor. Much like a cheap jar of pesto at the grocery store poured over. The noodles were also mushy. To top it off the waitress stopped by once and never asked how it was, probably knowing how we felt by the look on our faces.

I couldn't recommend more! Paige was AMAZING! To sure impress me is hard, and she did it by a mile. Absolutely phenomenal service and banter! The meatball and spaghetti was amazing! Vibes were fun and still elevated! Husband and I split the dish and they separated them for me!

The pasta was amazing - in fact, my teenagers said the pasta was "freaking awesome"! Also, the service was fast and I appreciate the dining room ambiance and professional, friendly staff.

Food here was disappointing. The bucatini bolognese was probably the most sad plate of pasta I've ever had. I ended up dumping a lot of Parmesan in it to try and salvage it but it was just... boring. Appetizers were alright, I saw there were many Italian places around in Colorado Springs so I'd recommend else where!

Tasha was absolutely wonderful, helping us out with an issue we had, and accommodated us beautifully. We arrived a little early and were seated by our reservation time, even having 10 people. Our daughter had the perfect family graduation dinner, especially since this is her all time favorite restaurant. Cassie, our server, was absolutely fantastic! Everyone enjoyed their meals very much, saying it was worth the hype we had told them about. Thank you so much for a perfect evening!

We made reservations and were seated promptly. Our server wasn't super friendly or attentive. I ordered the lunch special with the red gravy salad and linguine alle vongole. The vinaigrette with the salad was good and the basket of bread was soft but nothing special. We had wine and the moscato was great. The pasta was underwhelming. My family member got the tutto mare pasta and she said that it was lacking flavor and sauce as well. The sausage in the Sunday gravy was good. All 3 of our dishes were saved by a shaker of Parmesan and red chili flakes. It added flavor that the dishes desperately needed. I tried the famous tomato bisque and it was good but nothing special. For dessert we had the lemon blueberry gooey cake and the Nutella mousse. One of the best parts of going here was the funny signs leading to the bathroom.

I dined at Red Gravy while on an adventure in The Springs. Red Gray is located at the corner of Nevada Avenue and N Tejon Street. It's a nice historic building that exposes red brick walls. I dined here on a weekend. I didn't make reservations. They sat me at the rear bar area. Initially, I was opposed to it as I don't care to dine at a bar area. However, I was pleasantly surprised at how intimate this bar area was. I didn't have patrons sitting on either side of me. I ordered a glass of red wine. They served it in a stemless glass. Bartender was friendly and didn't take long to respond to my order. He was busy too. For my entree I do not remember if I ordered the Chicken Parm or the Eggplant Parm. I do remember it being very good. I had a dinner salad as well. The veggies were average. However, the dressing was really good. I skipped dessert. Overall, I had a really good dining experience at Red Gravy. If you like a good Italian restaurant and are in The Springs, check them out. This is a good option for date night, anniversary celebration or birthday celebration. As I left Red Gravy, my impression was that I would definitely visit here again. Not sure when I will return to The Springs. However, I will consider Red Gravy again.

We tried Red Gravy based on the excellent reviews and agreed with the accolades. Their lunch time specials are especially great deals - lots of food for a reasonable price. It consists of a half portion of your pasta selection with your choice of Red Gravy Salad, Caesar Salad or soup. I always have the Campanelle Stroganoff lunch with a side salad - I tried it on our first visit and loved it so much, I haven't been able to try anything else! It as a rich and creamy sauce with tender beef, baby asparagus, and succulent portabella mushrooms over pasta - soooo good! Luckily, my husband and son like to try other things, so I can speak to other dishes on the menu. The Brussels Sprouts appetizer is incredible! The fettuccini carbonara is excellent. The Penne Pomodoro is my hubby's favorite and not too salty. (The reviewer who said that the food "tastes like [it] came out of cans, jars, and pre-packaged" had a very different experience that I have had.)

Visited the Red Gravy while I was working in town and it had was pretty good. The staff were friendly and helpful. My coworker ordered a salad that was really wilted and had to be returned but she loves her chicken Alfredo and I enjoyed my lasagna. It was a large serving and packed with meat. Overall I would try it again.

This chicken Marsala is so good. Please come to Red Gravy, this place has the best Italian food in Colorado Springs. We sat at the bar because there were no tables left, which is one of my biggest complaints of not having enough room on a Wednesday night but I'm glad they are keeping busy. I just want to talk about the Chicken Marsala. I love the gnocchi with this which you don't often see paired with Marsala but it works. The Marsala sauce was so rich and the addition of the balsamic reduction can add a lot by really remixing the flavor. If I come back it will be hard not to order anything else. I also got the tiramisu crème brûlée which is not at all a tiramisu but a crème brûlée with some tiramisu flavors. Don't really recommend it unless you really like crème brûlée. Make Red Gravy on your list of places to eat in the Springs.

We throughly enjoyed Red Gravy. The service was stellar and the food memorable! Definitely did not disappoint! The interior is bright, cheerful and inviting (please see photos). I had the vegetarian Marsala with gnocchi and it was epic! We shared a veggie flatbread which was perfect and Me. Wonderful had the calamari salad; which he said was delicious. The next time that we're in Colorado Springs we will be back to try more offerings.

Red Gravy was such a relaxing experience! My friends and coworkers had been telling me about it for so long, so I'm glad I finally went. I ordered the carbonara and it was the perfect blend of creamy with bacon and pepper. The bread and butter for the table wasn't anything special. I will say though, that the star of the entire meal was the brussel sprout appetizer. I'm just an average fan of brussel sprouts. I won't go out of my way to order them, but my friend is obsessed with them so we ordered two for the table. Best. Decision. Ever. They were the most flavorful I've ever tried and I could've downed both of the plates. They were sweet and tangy and heavenly. I would kill for that recipe. The service was friendly and fast. They have half price off wine and other drinks during their happy hour. We went on a Thursday evening and it wasn't incredibly busy, although we did have a reservation. I recommend booking that in advance, especially if you're going on a weekend night.

I love their caprese and their bisque. The pastas are a little dry. I like more sauce? Also less chunky sauce. But that's just my preference. We just get appetizers when we go now.

Our server was very kind and recommended their popular chicken marsala. The chicken marasla (not pictured) is the real deal. The capenelle shrimp pesto was mostly cream vs pesto, but good. The butternut squash ravioli is sweet, but delicious. All pastas were a 1 1/2-2 portion versus a single portion. Ambiance was cute and the inside of the restaurant is smaller.

This really hurt my heart to write this. It's our Anniversary, we live 25 miles away, hubby made our reservation. We have spent the previous 2 here. I was really looking forward to this special treat. To being greatly disappointed, to us walking out. We arrived 5 minutes early we were sat by the window. Server was at table next to us, never acknowledged us. Waited patiently, server gave other table a check. Now its been 10 minutes, nothing. After, 15 minutes my husband found someone and asked for the manager. Couple minutes later the same server came by, made the comment that I must be really patient. She was aware that no one acknowledged us, the said it wasn't her table. No apology, we decided to leave. Not what i was looking forward to. I guess the service has gone way down hill. Disappointed.

The food here is alright, the portions are a little small for what you get. Other than the small portions for the price the food is really good and tastes authentic and from Italy! The service here is great especially if you get Jesse, she was really nice gave us a lot of options and here top picks, also giving us are food fast and efficient. The ambiance is decent it's not anything from Italy but it's not something you would throw up if you saw.

Clean interior. Staff was very friendly. Service was quick. Food tasted great. Friends ordered different pastas and I ordered the salmon to share. Everyone thought all the dishes were great.

We went for my brother's birthday dinner and it was overall amazing. The food selection is great, portions are abundant, flavor was delicious, and prices were reasonable. The ambiance was lively and aesthetic was Americanized Italian. We had the Toasted Ravioli (8/10), Tiramisu Creme Brulee (10/10), and Blueberry Gooey Buttercake (6/10) to share, I had the Campanelle Shrimp Pesto (7/10), my brother had Bucatini Amatriciana (10/10). Our server, Paige, was very friendly and attentive. She also gave us a complimentary drink and dessert for the birthday celebration. We'll definitely come back!

We went here today, 5:15 reservation (Wednesday) and I enjoyed a glass of organic Moscato and penne pomodoro and my husband had mushroom risotto. We also had the cheesy garlic bread that came with a really nice dipping sauce. All were generous portions and good quality that we would consider getting again. Our Server, Kaley, was appropriately attentive and others pitched in bringing out the appetizer and picking up dishes. I would recommend a reservation since the restaurant is cozy and there are often events happening downtown. Would have loved to have taken home dessert but we're on our way to a concert

Great selection of food including gluten free. Salads were fresh and delicious! Drinks were perfectly crafted. Wish there was room for desserts, but there wasn't. Our server (forgot her name) but was amazing!

Gold course clubhouse atmosphere. Excellent staff and service. We went for the lobster Benedict. Generous portion of the lobster! We enjoyed it. Probably will return.

Decided to come here after some recommendations and this place was amazing. We sat at the bar since we didn't make a reservation and the food came out super quick. Tried the tomato bisque which is the winning dish on food network and it was very tasty, definitely not something to skip out on. Ordered the Campanella Stroganoff and Torallini alla panna and both was delicious. Good portion size and packed with flavor. Ended the meal with Tiramisu Crème Brûlée and Blueberry Gooey Buttercake, both was delicious but my favorite Tiramisu Crème Brûlée was the winner for me due to the unique coffee taste that wasn't overpowering the dessert.

First meal ever in Colorado Springs and it was AMAZING. it's a cute restaurant and all the staff were very friendly, including our waitress (unfortunately I don't recall her name). Everything that my husband and I got was very very good. The calamari was perfect, the blueberry butter cake dessert is phenomenal. Big fan, will definitely come back

I had a great dinner here celebrating my mother's birthday. I really enjoyed the ambiance, which I'd call modern and classy with the lights dimmed down a bit (which I liked). Our food was excellent and arrived promptly even as every table in the restaurant was sat. I don't review much but I wanted to highlight the excellent service we received from our waitress. She was on top of her game, friendly, and she cleared away the finished plates (something that no longer seems to be a priority at half the restaurants we go to). We will be returning for more dinners here and will look into some of the weekly specials I noticed. 4 top, Saturday night.

We've been in the Springs for a couple years and have been on the lookout for a good Italian restaurant and so far we haven't been impressed. Well we finally visited this place upon a friend's recommendation. Wow this not only did not disappoint but it exceeded our expectations. We've found our Italian spot! I do have to say we only tried the pastas and an appetizer so I can't speak for their pizzas and other entrees but it makes us excited to go back and try their other stuff. First off we got the calamari as an appetizer. It was breaded well, not too thick and well fried. Seasoning was good but we did find the squid texture a bit chewy. But still a great dish overall and the marinara sauce is a highlight. It's chunky and you can tell it's homemade which makes all the difference. As for the pasta we got the spaghetti and meatballs. What was unique about the dish is that it comes with a tomato cream sauce which was absolutely delightful. The meatballs are huge and well seasoned and I was very happy with the dish. Then we also tried the bucatini amatriciana which we had never heard of. I don't think too many Italian places in America carry this dish or at least the ones we've been to. We had to look it up but basically it's a tomato sauce made with guanciale, caramelized onions and they use calabrese peppers. It had a good spicy kick, unique flavor which made it a very robust dish. It's sweet, salty, spicy with some acid and cheesy. We heard it's one of the best dishes at the restaurant. I got a mocktail made of cucumber, lemon, mint, honey and ginger beer and that was very good too. Definitely worth visiting. We went on a Thursday night so it was easy to get a table but I'm sure it gets busy during the weekend so making reservations are probably a good thing depending on when you visit. Our server was very pleasant and helpful. We're definitely going back!

I grew up in St. Louis and while I've been gone for many years, my cravings for the food haven't left. anytime I find toasted ravioli and gooey butter cake and provel cheese outside of STL, it's a must try for me :) we were staying down the street and walked by here and happened to see the above mentioned items on the menu, so I knew this must be another St. Louis native who owns the place. We stopped in for a quick lunch and really enjoyed the food. The gooey butter cake came with a cannoli on top - bonus score! Patio is dog friendly and service was good. No complaints! Definitely recommend trying it out even if you aren't from St. Louis :)
