I love eating at Paravicini's! The staff is always friendly. Plus the food is amazing, I have done a lot of traveling and eaten around the world and Paravicini's is the best Italian in Colorado Springs.

• Pros: Great staff, wonderful food

POOR

April 29, 2009 - Doesn't like it - I had a BAD experience at Paravicini's last summer. My family and I walked in to get dinner one night and we were approached by the owner(guy on TV) , and his mouth was full of food and crumbs on his face, and he was very arrogant( There were plenty of tables empty but when we said we need a table for 3, he said it would be an hour wait. I said why when there are empty tables and he said they were for reservations. So I said is there anything outside and he grumbled NO and nodded his head toward the small little bar that was full of papers and such and kind of smirked and blew us off. After being born and raised in Old Colorado City (Parents here for 60 years) and have been a good customer there over the years, we were completely turned off by his arrogant attitude. We did not matter to him AT ALL! So we decided to never go back especially because of that and also, when you get to-go orders of spaghetti, you are not allowed to have fresh parmesan cheese with your order. You pay the same price for the meal if you are sitting there or taking it to-go??? Hopefully in this economy, the owners of local restaurants will treat each customer with respect because word of mouth goes a long way , especially when you know half the town.
