    For an upscale Italian restaurant. the portions are quite large. All 4 diners took home half their dinners. Their arancini is outstanding.

    Dined at Paravicinis on a Saturday night and it was very busy. I suggest you make reservations for weekend nights. We started withe tge hot and pots(sausage, peppers, and fried potatoes in a lemon oil sauce) and the fried artichoke hearts. Both were delicious. Salads, both house and Caesar followed as they come with the dinner. Next, we had the veal portobello, tender slices of veal in a brown sauce with mushrooms and spinach, the veal parmigiana, and the shrimp Alfredo. All were large portions and we brought food home. Last we had the bad Bing cheesecake, the tiramisu and custard. All delicious. Definitely bring your appetite when you dine here.

    This is one if not the best places to eat Italian food in Colorado Springs. If you get there for the lunch menu, it is a tremendous value. If you order from the dinner menu, portions are larger, and the food is fantastic as always. You will not be dissappointed.

    Had a reservation for 7:45 didn’t get seated until 8 which wasn’t a big deal because I know that’s not usually on the restaurant because people usually take there time. Our waitress was nice and attentive initially. Our appetizer, the mozzarella fritti was quick to arrive and that was the beginning of the downhill slide for this review. The appetizer was a little burnt and other than the taste of burnt breading had no flavor. Our meals came with salads which were delivered promptly after the appetizer and from that point on our waitress disappeared. We had been seated for almost an hour (35 minutes since the salads arrived) before she reappeared with our meals which were cold and the noodles were overcooked. Overall the food isn’t any better than say a place like Olive Garden where I expect low quality food and subpar service and I feel like for the price you pay here it should be prepared and taste better than some cheap national chain.

    Food was disappointing compared to visits in the past. Cod florentine was bland (no lemon flavor at all) and calamari arrabiata was overly spicy which was the only flavor in the dish (have had both dishes over a dozen times). Used to be my favorite place, it’s slipping down the list.

    I love that it is not a chain restaurant. Nice ambiance, Close and intimate. Great service, though the hostess could have been more friendly. Delicious food served quickly. The chocolate cake was amazing. A little pricey, but worth it! Highly recommend.

    From the hostess, to the bartender, to our server Amy, and Tim checking in on us ... everything was outstanding. The only reason we dropped a level on the "Ambiance" score is the bar area is pretty small/tight ... understand there are space limitations, but wish it was a little larger :-)

    Food and service was fantastic!! However, tables were way too close to each other and the noise level was ridiculous and uncomfortable. Additionally, chairs were wobbly. I even tried swapping out chairs and every other chair I tested was also wobbly. It wouldn’t hurt them to put a screwdriver to the legs periodically to ensure the comfort and safety of their customers. Thank you!

It was an incredibly nice touch when the manager walked around and individually spoke to every table asking about the experience. Nice touch ! We will be back.
