    It has been 20 years since we last ate here, so give the place five stars for tenacity. However, I am pretty certain the place has not been remodeled for at least that long. It is dark and dreary inside, the furnishings are old...the kind of old that makes you not want to touch the chairs. When the customer dining areas look like this, one cannot help but wonder what the kitchen must look like, as cleanliness does not appear to be a primary consideration. In fact, the downtown Panino's has the same dark and old issues. That said, the food was okay. The prime rib was tender but overcooked (I ordered it medium), but there was not a trace of pink in the slab I was served. It was terribly underseasoned, served with no horseradish, and appeared to be prepackaged, presliced precooked and merely warmed up in the kitchen...it just lacked the typically seasoned crust and rich flavor of a good prime rib. The lasagna was outstanding... in a good way. Very good, in fact. I had a simple martini on the rocks but couldn't tell if there was actually vodka as it tasted like mostly water. Despite the decor (or lack thereof), and the sense that it might be more sanitary to stand and eat rather than sit, the lasagna might just be the redeeming thing that brings me back into this otherwise dismal, painfully old, dirty-appearing Colorado Springs iconic Italian restaurant.

    Overall was fine. They had a lot of menu options including gluten free which was nice. Service wasn’t anything special, maybe even below average. The food was alright too, absolutely edible but I wasn’t dying for seconds or anything. The building was cute and clean though. I probably wouldn’t go back though.
