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!

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.

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!

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.

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!

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!

Service is always on point!!! Courteous nothing less than professional. They check in just enough but not to much very patient. Perfectly located in old Colorado city. I’ve been here many times the food is always perfect I can’t say that enough I’ve tried a few things but my go to is the chicken Marco with no unions and I substitute fetticini noodles with spaghetti noodles add mushrooms and spinach it gets better every time I order it. So far my absolute favorite Alfredo ever! Whoever the cook or cooks are you are amazing thank you so much

We had our wedding rehearsal dinner at Paravicini’s Italian Bistro, and it was perfect! I’m still dreaming about their vodka sauce it was absolutely delicious. Nanci coordinated everything and was AMAZING to work with. The staff even put up our decorations for us, which was such a thoughtful touch. The food was incredible, the service was wonderful, and the whole evening went so smoothly. Truly a 10/10 experience!

Paravicini’s is the definition of a classic, old school Italian restaurant! River is a fantastic server! She was personable and very knowledgeable about the menu items. My husband’s lasagna was delicious and my Chicken Masala was as well. I’m not sure what their secret is, but the pasta has a wonderful flavor. Also, don’t miss out on the fresh baked bread that can be eaten with olive oil & balsamic vinegar or with butter. We shared the Pumpkin Tiramisu for dessert which was delicious. A ++++ experience!!!
