38 Best Italian Restaurants near Manitou Springs

“Some of the best pizza I’ve ever had.“

“Met my best friend for lunch, and we had an incredible time. Our server, Gwen, was absolutely awesomely sweet, personable, very professional, kept our glasses full and our table clear. She should be the training server for all your new hires because she is that fabulous. I know, I served and bar tended for 40+ years and trained new hires. It would be a betterment for corporate in the long run. Keep up and fantastic work, Gwen!! Can't wait to hear about your new addition and her weight etc!!“

“such a wide variety of menu options and you honestly can't go wrong with whatever you choose!“

“Love this place and the awesome owners, who are always on-site making the best pizza in town! We personally love the thin crust pizza with alfredo, green peppers and sausage. Their taco pizza is also wicked good. These folks not only know how to make some fantastic pizza, but understamd the importance of customer service. When an error was made on a recent order, they went above and beyond to make it right, and did so with a smile. It was clear we were valued as customers. Places like this are hard to find. So glad they are in the Springs!“

“Great food and atmosphere, our server was Amy and she was very good“

Make it a regular stop.“

“Such amazing food and drink. The service was Fast. Nice outside area and a great place for Adults and kids.“

“My husband and I have been coming here for years. Food is always amazing and staff are great. 10/10 would recommend!!“

“I ate here with a group of friends. The pizza I ordered was delicious and made me full. After eating your pizza, I decided to pay for bread sticks. The nice lady told me they were free since I dined in. The only thing y'all could improve on is serving more soda options. Had I realized sprite wasnt an option, I wouldn't have ordered soda to begin with.“

“My husband and I had a celebration dinner here last night and it was a 10/10. Can’t wait to come back. Excellent service, chic atmosphere, and amazing food.“

“Fast and friendly service! Food portions are HUGE. Food was delicious. Spaghetti Pie was awesome.“

“We ate here last night and drove an hour to try it on the advise of friends who used to live in St. Louis. Our server Lilly was a complete joy. Our food was spectacular and we loved everything we ordered including the dessert, a pumpkin bread pudding with brioche bread and toffee syrup that was to die for. We are already planning our return and driving an hour for a dinner so amazing is nothing and you owe it to yourself to try it, you will find yourself also planning when you will return, it's that good!! It was also a pleasure to meet the Owner/Chef Eric. It was awesome to hear his story about how he got here.“

“This Italian restaurant we visited in Colorado looks across a lake. Ristorante del Lago at The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs specializes in Italian hospitality & cuisine with house-made pasta & wood-fired pizzas with a view. We dined here for dinner during our stay at The Broadmoor.

We arrived and were seated on the indoor patio with a view of the lake. Our server Megan was such a pleasure - she had fabulous recommendations, advised us on the most popular and seasonal items, and had the sweetest demeanor. She was a real testament to The Broadmoor’s commitment to exceptional service.

We started our meal with two Zero-Proof Specialties - the Meleto and the Lapo's Spritz. The Meleto was made with apple cider infusion, NA Ginger Beer, & Soda. The Lapo's Spritz was made wtih Lapo's NA Apertivo, Orange, Vanilla, Lemon, & Soda.

The Antipasti Misti was made with the Chef's selection of Formaggi & Salumi.

The Aosta Pizza was made with house-made sausage, charred pepper, roasted garlic, & fontina. The wood-fired cooking method gave the crust and toppings a lovely smoky, slightly charred flavor. The house-made sausage was meaty, and the fontina cheese (a semi-hard Italian cheese) provided a creamy, nutty flavor that melted beautifully over the pizza.

The Lobster Pappardelle was made with main lobster, cherry tomato, & saffron butter. The lobster had a delicate sweetness to it that was countered by the burst of acidity from the cherry tomatoes.

The Tortelli Al Brasato was made with braised veal stuffed pasta with roasted cipollini, red wine, rosemary, butter, and Parmigiano cheese. This seasonal pasta was a rich and flavorful dish with a complex taste profile. The braised veal filling imparted a deep, meaty flavor, while the red wine and rosemary added depth. The butter added a smooth, creamy texture to the pasta. This was our favorite pasta of the night.

Of course, we had to leave room for the homemade gelato. We had the Cookies & Cream, Strawberry, & Chocolate Crunch gelatos that were served in a beautiful silver goblet with a cookie on top.“

“Listen I thought I knew what pizza was, I thought I knew what it was supposed to taste like and than I ate here and realized I have never had a proper slice of pizza in my life. Part of me is sad because I can never eat at carryout pizza again without thinking about poor it actually is. And the ranch? I can never eat hidden valley ranch ever again now that they have graced my pallet with perfection“

“Absolutely sensational experience! Tiffany is thoroughly amazing, and Bethany was refreshing and professional as well. The food is spot on, the chefs, especially Scoob, are friendly, informative, and very skilled, the cocktails are made with precision, the TVs are playing all the right things, the atmosphere is fun and comfortable with arcades and darts and even delicious pizza from Duca's in same building (shared space -- piggy-backed), excellent happy hour specials, just a FANTASTIC place. Thank you Tiffany, Bethany, and all the masterful chefs!“

“This is long over due. Went there 1st time about a year ago and I had made a mistake ordering on the website I had placed 2 orders, I ordered and paid at the wrong store for pickup in denver. That being said management went above and beyond to get it corrected and got both families dinners done in a timely manner hot and fresh i was ordering for my family and taking one to another family!!! Since then bc of how great they were and it was my mistake we have gone back many many times and I have to say the atmosphere is awesome for a date the restaurant is always clean and the food tastes great and fresh....def recommend the chicken parm!!! Seriously go Check them out the prices are right and the food is awesome. Outstanding service and management really knows what they are doing! I am out of the army but still get dinners to take to my joes and families old habit and they all agree this place is awesome and close to Carson!“

“TL;DR this place makes me wish I lived here. How can you not love a bookstore-coffee shop-game shop-pizzeria combo? There is so much to do here! The pizza was delicious and large slices for a great price, they have every book you'll want and are constantly adding more. They also have a good selection of drinks and the board games and puzzles are everything from niche titles to mainstream. 10/10.“

“Pizza was amazing, but very expensive! Paid $84 for a partial (6 slices), 4 Toppings, and 6 wings. Wow!!“
