I ate at this amazing restaurant 3 times in 7 days! As someone with Celiac, it is hard to find AMAZING gluten free options that A) TASTES amazing AND B) doesn't cost a kidney! Their gluten free cheese bread and the tomatoes bisque is heavenly! Their GF pasta is made to order with EVERY order and they always note allergy vs preference in the kitchen. They change their gloves and go out of their way to ensure our safety. I had the GF pasta with 2 different dishes and it was al dente, and was the closest thing I have had to Rigatoni in almost 15 years! It held the sauce beautifully. I even brought it home and it reheated amazing without becoming mush! Such a lovely place to enjoy with friend, business lunch and an Anniversary. Which was all 3 of my visits there! Can't wait to go back!

We finally walked past our go to of the Irish pub and walked into Red Gravy for the first time. It was a very early dinner and almost had the place to ourselves. Staff were very nice and promptly sat us. Hannah took lovely care of us and even battered back at my husband when he did his normal dad jokes! Our drinks were great! I had the Paper Plane and he had the rum old-fashioned which was surprisingly very good. Caprese (excellent heiloom tomatoes) to start with, butternut ravioli (very rich! Very good) and meat lovers pizza (very pleased with the pizza, love it came cut in small manageable pieces).We ended with a tiramisu creme brulee with coffee and I had an espresso martini. Oh my! We enjoyed our meal and are already talking about coming back! Thanks Hannah for putting up with us!

First time here and I really wanted to like it! Got the chicken piccata and the sauce was so lemony and sour. I love lemon sauces but this was extreme. I sent it back and the chef apparently can't remake the sauce because "thats how its made and just order something else" you can't just tone down the lemon? So then I ordered the spinach florentine which is just OK. My husband ordered spaghetti and meatballs which honestly tastes like chef boyardee. Our serverwas great and apologetic, tho probably wont be back.

Dinner tonight at Red Gravy was literally one of the best dinners we've had dining out all year, it was that good! I had the Veal Saltimbocca served with butternut risotto. Ohmygoodness it was just soooo good. Very well prepared dish. My wife had the Eggplant Parmesan, and it too was just delicious. We did start with salads- a regular house salad that came with a bit of basalmic and was really good, but my salad was the Tuscan, and the dressing was amazing. I really enjoyed it. Our server Thomas probably checked on us eight times. He was very kind, knowledgeable about the menu, and provided exceptional service. So- not only was this one of our favorite meals this year- but easily some of the best service we have had all year. Very grateful for the effort they put in and an opportunity to visit such a great restaurant. Can't wait to return!

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 visited for the first time and were blown away by how amazing this place was. It was busy that night as I assume it is almost always. We did wait a bit for our server to take our drink and food order and for our food to come out but in the end, it was worth the wait. I had the mushroom risotto without the steak. It was the BEST I've had to date. I also had a cup of their famous tomato bisque which was also exquisite! For an appetizer we ordered the cheese bread which comes which comes with the tomato bisque as the dipping sauce and it was out of this world! My three picky kids + husband were so impressed with the pasta, which is hard to accomplish. All in all, definitely recommend!

It has been quite a few years since I last visited this place. My experience had left quite the bad taste in my mouth. I kept hearing people talk about how it was tasty and good and I have finally given it another try. TLDR: We will be back. Lisa was our server and was wonderful. The food was delicious - I even got a fix of that St Louis staple: Provel cheese. Everyone at our table thoroughly enjoyed their meals: chicken marsala, linguini with clams, meat lovers pizza, and spaghetti with meatballs. There were a number of other things I wanted to try and rest assured, we will be back to sample more. The no longer offer brunch - which is fine... their dinner more than makes up for it.

Honestly, this should've been a 2-star night, but the staff carried the whole experience on their backs. They were wonderful, friendly, and the only reason I'm not writing a total roast. The food? Yikes. One of our meals was straight-up awful, and my salad was drowning in so much dressing it could've used a lifeguard. The "award-winning" soup? Maybe it won an award for existing, but flavor-wise, that dish ain't it. To make things worse, everything took forever to come out -- and this wasn't exactly a packed house. But again, props to our server. They turned what could've been a train wreck into a "meh, I'd give it another shot" kind of night. So yeah, 3/5. If I come back, it'll be because the people were great... not because of that soggy salad.

Luckily snagged a reservation on a Saturday. Service was good from quick seating by the hostess, to various servers helping clear plates and deliver food, to our super nice waiter who helped me select the pesto cream pasta. They smartly dropped two bottles of water at the very beginning so you won't get parched. Food was overall very good. Tried the toasted ravioli (don't think that's my thing but I can see why people like it), but the red sauce it came with was really good-made me wish for some plain bread to dip. The low point was the salad-the romaine was beat to hell, with a few nice red lettuce leaves. However, the pimento, shaved onion, and dressing were quite nice. Pasta: the pesto pasta cream sauce w/sundried tomatoes-I subbed chicken for shrimp-was full of flavor and so delicious. I really wanted to eat the entire thing but alas. I also tried my first aperol spritz cocktail and thought it tasted nice, came out super fast. Hubs paperplane was also good. Ambiance was nice-brick walls, nice wood floors, felt lively. I would definitely return.

No bread served with any meal, lunch or entree last time I was here with family. So strange that an Italian restaurant with such great food would have no bread.

Solid choice for pasta dishes! Ordered the Red Gravy Starter salad and the Sunday Gravy pasta dish. Both were outstanding! The light lettuce and red peppers in the salad made it! The pasta dish was a little spicy and perfectly cooked. I sat at the bar and service was great. The place is a little noisy (brick walls) but you could still do a romantic dinner here if that's what you're looking for. Just ask for a table by the front window. I'll be back for sure!

Great service, order breakfast food. I went for the burger but my niece had breakfast and it was much better. The burger was fine, but she was loving her food. Just a great down-home joint.

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.

Red Gravy has service, style, and food figured out. I have eaten here mainly for a weekday lunch, but it would also be a nice dinner spot. I absolutely love the Butternut Ravioli, it is my go-to pasta choice with a Red Gravy salad. However, I branched out and tried the Penne Pomodoro (vegan), and I was not disappointed. My favorite table is right by the window looking out at Tajon or sitting on the patio when the weather is nice.

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!

Sorry to say this but.... Service was great but..... food was NOT good. We loved the wine ( we got a bottle of Chardonnay). We loved our cocktails. We ordered an appetizer, the fried ravioli. Just blah.... Ordered the spinach salad it was good not great and that's the salad. We ordered the Ciao de Pepe. It was so chalky and pasty. We split everything and I am so happy we did because that might have been the worst meal I have ever paid for. I cannot recommend this place. We were so excited to try this place in Colorado Springs. It had some great reviews and was one of the top recommendations. Disappointed and out173 dollars tip included.

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!

I would recommend to reserve a table. This restaurant is often very crowded. I went there for supper and had to wait 20 minutes to get a table. Our meals took almost an hour to arrive. However, at least the food was delicious. We had two pizzas and a bottle of wine. The pizza was very tasty, full of flavors, and beautifully served, enough for six people. The waiter was very friendly and attentive. He was looking after us perfectly. Everything was great, except for the waiting time.

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.

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.

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.

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.

We traveled to Colorado Springs from California by car and, let's just say our road trip meals were very "practical." After so many fast food meals and quick service salads, we needed something more substantial. We were in town for my son's figure skating competion and were taken in by how charming the city was. My husband looked around for dinner options and this place was well reviewed. The thing is, I tend to be skeptical about Italian restaurants since we cook a lot of pasta at home. I tend to view pasta places the way I do breakfast - why pay more for something I make in my own kitchen, right? But we were hungry and something comforting like a heaping bowl of pasta sounded appealing so we checked it out. Off the bat, the place is well located and very well appointed. It's warm and welcoming but not homely or stodgy. There's a freshness to it and the decor is quite...well, handsome is how I can best describe it. All the staff, from host to bartender to servers, were attentive and personable. I get the sense they treat each other like family. We were seated in the back dining area with our kids which was quieter and more private. My husband ordered a red wine and though I don't recall which one, it was pleasant. For the appetizer, my kids picked the cheesy garlic bread with the tomato bisque which was phenomenal. The bisque is particularly well balanced and we learned it is the pride of the establishment. My two younger kids ordered pasta with it as the sauce. My older kid had a chicken parmigiana which he said was excellent and my husband was blown away by the linguine tutto mare. So blown away he had to sop up the remaining broth with the bread. He said he's never had anything like it and he's had some remarkable culinary experiences before. We both have, so that says a lot. Now, I've made carbonara and I've had carbonara. It's my favorite pasta dish. I've had it in America , I've had it in Rome, I've made it at home. Red Gravy's chef, whoever he is, has made a superior carbonara to anything I have ever had in my entire existence. I don't say this lightly. Also, restaurants give such generous portions that I rarely finish my meals no matter how much I enjoy them. I completely cleared my bowl at Red Gravy. I didn't want to see an end to that dish. It was sublime. I told my husband that the chef reminded me what food was supposed to taste like. I still long to return just for that dish and a goblet of red. If you're wondering what made it so good, I'd say it was the balance. Just the perfect interplay of the salty pancetta, the rich egg yolk sauce, the bite of the pasta. It was symphonic. Nothing was overbearing but still decadent yet not heavy. To execute a dish like that, one that's been served for years all over the world, but to do so with such skill, is impressive. Someday, if I'm lucky, I'll be back.

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.

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 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.

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. *****

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.

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!

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!

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.)

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.

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.

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.

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!!!
