Local diners have labeled this friendly, family cafe, which has been serving Colorado Springs since 1958, as one of the "best Italian restaurants in the area." The cozy dining room is perfect for romantic couples, but also appeals to families with kids. Traditional Italian classics, such as linguine and lasagna, and signature dishes are all impressive, but the dessert pizzas are the real "must-have" for most diners. Reservations are required for large parties, and smoking is not allowed. Open Tuesday to Sunday at 5pm.
Victorian buildings usually do not conjure images of pizza rolling chefs, but this restaurant manages to merge the two into an immensely popular dining environment. The white structure is massive and the inside resembles an old Victorian gambling hall. Seating spills out over two floors. Pizza is the king of the menu. Specialty pies include the Friday Pizza, which is topped with shrimp and mushrooms. Pasta, sandwiches and salads are also available. The carrot cake is not to be ignored. Call for opening hours.
This bustling Italian eatery, with its "Americanized" cuisine, is the perfect gathering place for families, couples and business diners. Warm and friendly service can always be counted on to nicely enhance the dining experience. Try a full-size, puffed-crust pizza with an abundance of toppings for everyone to share, or sample a smaller pizzette or pasta dish. The Shrimp Linguine Diablo is perfect for those who enjoy full flavor with a lighter feel. Smoking is not allowed, and reservations are not accepted.
