I don’t need to do a long review. All I need to say is $6 bruschetta during happy hour! Man it’s phenomenal there. The portions are amazing, and the food is so good! We switched it up this time and got the spaghetti pie, and French dip and my God it was great! If you’re looking for a good although slightly pricy if you get dinner items, it’s great, we ordered 3 appetizers, and two dinner items, and after tip it was around $90, definitely worth it!

Steak and blue panini was phenomenal-my new favorite sandwich. Pasta salad was good too, though teeny-tiny portion was disappointing. Zak was an attentive, friendly and fast server My husband said his Hawaiian pizza was excellent as well

The spaghetti pie panino is one of the best things I’ve had in the springs, it’s like a pizza/noodle burrito! Always love coming here. Food always comes out fast and staff are always super friendly.

This place was wonderful overall. The food was so delicious and the portion size was surprisingly enough for two so plan on taking some home. The waitress made our first visit so pleasant and created such a wonderful atmosphere for my friends and I. Cudos to her. We will definitely be returning soon.

I love it here, friendly staff, great atmosphere, incredible food. I work nearby and stop in for quick bites all the time. It’s a staple in the downtown community, often times you will see the owner working and laughing alongside with the staff. Also the best happy hour, food and drinks!

Quite average. Plus, $60 for lunch for two? Not just this place, but everywhere…prices have gotten out of control now. Especially when you split a pizza; one person got a cup of soup and the other got a dinner salad. Granted, we did get one glass of wine each, but still $59 not counting tip?? I don’t mind paying more money if it’s a wonderful delicious meal, but unfortunately it was just average. We are Italian so if you start throwing strange spices on the pizza we’re going to not dig it at all. The pizza had some strange spices that doesn’t belong. Broccoli cheddar soup was house made, but cheese wasn’t melted and grainy texture. I asked if the salad greens came in a bag and was told no but lo and behold it was a bag salad…funny taste due to chemicals. Just overall disappointment. If you’re going to stay open and charge the prices, your food has to be great. Colorado Springs just doesn’t have hardly any good restaurants anymore.

BEST HAPPY HOUR IN TOWN!!! $6 craft cocktails and $5 cheesesticks…everyday!? Staff is super nice and atmosphere is quaint and cozy. Good for a quick bite or a fun gathering with friends.

They have a gluten free menu with lots of options. The creamy tomato soup was gluten free and very delicious. The paninos were out of this world. You’d never know the dough was gluten free, and they are perfectly sized. I loved dipping my paninio in ranch, but marinara was also tastey. I have zero complaints about this place.

We went to Panino’s in downtown Colorado Springs! We started with an appetizer of mini meatballs served in sauce and topped with gooey fried cheese, then we tried the Chicken Parmesan and the Margherita Pizza with Balsamic glaze. Everything was *very* tasty and the portions were large enough for leftovers! The staff was friendly, service was perfect and the restaurant had great atmosphere. We got too full for dessert but promised ourselves we would come back another day for the cannoli and cocktails. 🙂

Disappointed that appetizer came out just a minute before the totally wrong pizza.
Correct Pizza took a long time.
Had to ask for refills and water multiple times.
Meals Appetizers or service not as good as 8th Street location.
Bartender looks like she hasn’t slept in a week.
8th Street location is superior
