Excellent neighborhood gem. Super octopus salad and bison special. Top notch would come back on my next trip to Colo Springs. Vibrant ambience.

Darn it - we've tried Sopra a few times over the years & always have high hopes... but always seem to be disappointed. We should stick with Paravacini's. The service is adequate, but doesn't match the pricing and our expectations. We tried to have multiple courses as you would in any high-end Italian restaurant in bigger cities, but our server seemed to be unaware of how that works. Our 2nd course came out right on top of our appetizer, and entree right on top of that. We were traveling and didn't want leftovers, so we split the entree. They didn't even offer a separate plate, much less split it for us in the kitchen like most nicer restaurants do (an upcharge would be fine for that!) The dishes were clunky, seasoned inconsistently, and unbalanced. The patio sounds like it would be lovely, but it's really hot until the sun goes down and all the windows are opened. This visit saddened us, as we really want to love this place.

Went for a birthday celebration, requested a outdoor table, was seated inside and was told it was too hot outside, ordered drinks and an appetizer got our appetizer before our drinks and our waitress asked if we were ready to order dinner, I said no our drinks haven't even come. It was challenging all night to get our food or drinks at a reasonable time frame.

Fresh, hand-made pasta was absolutely delicious, and the desserts were spectacular. Highly recommend and cannot wait to come back!

This was our first time at Sopra and it was to celebrate my birthday. The service was fantastic from everyone, with our waiter Riley being excellent- knowledgeable, friendly and the perfect amount of attentiveness. We were immediately brought the most wonderful basket of breads accompanied by a fantastic fresh pesto and olive tamponade. All of our meals were wonderful. We were in Italy just a few months ago and my son ate a lot of Carbonara and he said this was better. We also had a fun Baked Alaska flambéed at the table and on the house for my birthday. We did have outdoor seating and it was pretty warm on the patio, but this is obviously no fault of the restaurant. Overall, a wonderful place for my birthday celebration!

We came to Di Sopra for the first time, not knowing what to expect. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. Our 30th anniversary celebration was great.

We had high expectations because of other people telling us about Paravicini's. Unfortunately, this was not our experience in the higher end portion on the top floor. It took 15 minutes for us to get a glass of wine, and they served my husband a Lambrusco, which he did not order...he ordered a Prosecco. Then they came and said they had no Prosecco...what Italian restaurant doesn't have Prosecco??? Then the male server came back with a little bottle of Prosecco for my husband. Weird. We ordered the octopus appetizer from our female server, and it took 45 minutes to come out. The octopus was tender and tasty, but not what we expected from the dish. Next, I ordered the duck pappardelle and my husband got the day's special which was pasta and meat combo. When I took the first bite of the duck dish, I knew I couldn't finish it because it had middle eastern spices like cinnamon, cardamom, and cloves. Those spices would be fine if I was in an Indian restaurant, but not in an Italian restaurant. I pushed the dish aside and our server asked what was wrong, and I told her. She then apologized and said that she should have told me the dish was "Venecian" with "Venecian" spices. I was very nice and told her it was not what I imagined for the dish and she did offer to get me something else, which I refused. What I DIDN'T say was that we have been to Venice, Italy many times, and that there was nothing "Venecian" about that dish. So, to sum up, she did take the dish off of our bill which shows good business practice, but we will not return. And now we are on another hunt for an Italian restaurant like we were used to in Jersey and Phoenix...since we moved to the Springs last year.

Always an OCC favorite. Incredibly kind and attentive staff. There was a bit of a delay in our apps which they comped (and was just fine as we wanted to just sit around and talk). Food came out hot and delicious. They made a spectacular date night for us. Will continue to return to this little gem.

We have visited Sopra numerous times and this time it was to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The staff were very welcoming and attentive. The food was very good and the wine was excellent. My husband appreciated the new vegetarian menu that is included with the regular menu- it provides options and suggestions on dishes that can be made vegetarian. We will return!

This is a really refined dining experience from the greeting upon arrival by a very congenial front of the house manager along with a comfortable level of table service and then carefully presented food and drink in a dining room with just the right level of activity. And above all...very good food.
Our experience was awesome along with terrific food. Enjoyed our time there and will be returning. One of our favorites. Thank you
Bill
The service and food were amazing. It's a great little restaurant. It was fairly empty , early on a week night. It seems like it could be a bit loud if it were full. It was perfect for our visit. Only complaint: if you put cannolli on the menu, even if you say seasonal filling, you should always have the basic one. That word evokes emotion... great time. Thank you

We sat down to a wonderful meal after a full day of shopping Territory Days Saturday.
You go up the stairs and immediately hear the kitchen cooking, music playing and guests enjoying. Great start.
The host created us with a very warm welcome and promptly sat us. Walking through the palace, we were immediately comfortable. Whoever designed the upstairs had great taste. Our server was absolutely on point. Cocktails and apps came out quick and were amazing. Dinner was SO good. All three of us ended up ordering the same thing, the carbonara Franco style and......wow. In house made pasta. Perfectly al dente. Perfectly seasoned and so delicious. Dessert was a nice touch. They have really good gelato and usually have a special dessert of the day/week.
Would absolutely come back here. We love Paravicinis downstairs and have never had a bad meal or off service, but this is a very nice elevated dining experience.

This place rocks located right on the Colorado Springs downtown super convenient to everything happening in the downtown area. The place is somewhat small but packs a flavorful and enjoyable punch. The server were very helpful in the selection of wines, entrees, desserts and they know the menu upside down. Great selection of food, wines and desserts. Nice, quaint, and inviting you feel like someone's home the service, the atmosphere there, the conversations the laughter such a great time. We had a group of for and reservations are highly recommend this place is popular because they are extremely good at what they do and the dishes they offer are phenomenal so make your reservations or do the waiting thing. I promise you will have a great time and leave with a smile. Overall a great experience and will be back when in town.

Wonderful service and a welcoming atmosphere with a side of great food, wine list and dessert. Started our meal with a homemade mozzarella dish and finished with various delicious desserts. A high touch and rewarding experience from start to finish.
