We did get food eventually but we were there over an hour before we got a bite. We had a service dog which they accepted but chose to sit outside so we didn't bother anyone. Sat at a great table a group just left but instead of cleaning the table we had to move because it was dirty. Dog was quiet and laid down the entire time. They were nice but we watched others get served while waited on pasta and a pizza. We took the food to go. Nice place and people but my experience was not good read more

I went for a friend's birthday last night. We made a reservation for 10 but 13 people showed up and they were happy to accommodate us. The bartender/our server was super nice and made really good drinks! I got an espresso martini before dinner and had the seafood pasta "Linguine Tutto Mare." It came with the perfect amount of seafood and pasta. And they provide focaccia with the meal. For my friend's birthday (he's not a desert guy) so they brought him a complimentary glass of champagne with a candle and we sang happy birthday. I thought that was nice! That was not my friend's first time there but it was mine and I would totally go back. Worth stopping by if you're looking for a new Italian place to check out. :) it's in a good location downtown if you're looking for other things to do down there as well. It's a cute area for a date (romantic or friend date) night near all the other cute restaurants and bars if you feel like going out after. read more

Nice place - good food. Gorgeous space. The service was the issue - our waitress was nice Enough however very inattentive. There was another gentleman waiter who would pop by & ask if we were good - but he wasn't our waiter, now of course I don't mind that he was attentive, friendly & kind but the person receiving the tip for waiting on us should've been doing these things. We started with the cheesy bread & tomato bisque soup. A nice way to start. Then each had the lunch special which came with a soup or salad we each chose the salad that comes with a balsamic vinaigrette - I had the beef stroganoff, my mom had the chicken florentine. Really solid dishes. My asparagus was cooked perfectly - I love that. All in all a good meal - oh and a nice glass of sweet red wine. $42 each incl tip. read more

Very impressed with Red Gravy. My boyfriend is from stl so he is hard to impress when it comes to stl style pizza, but this place didn't disappoint! The toast raviolis (T-ravs ) were really well done, crispy, savory and hit the spot! We had 2 pizzas, the sausage and pepperoni and the sausage and pepper pizza! We got both well done and they were excellent! Definitely a must try if you like St. Louis style! Also, Cassie is fabulous. We sat at the bar and she gave exceptional service !! read more

Red Gravy - Toasted Ravioli - Italian Near Me - Colorado Springs, Colorado

I went to Red Gravy for dinner with a group and overall had a good experience. We started with the toasted ravioli, which was delicious and definitely the standout appetizer. The cheese garlic bread, however, felt a bit overhyped. For my entrée, I ordered the Campanella Shrimp Pesto. The pesto sauce was flavorful and the pasta tasted fresh, but I wish it came with more shrimp. Dessert totally redeemed the meal: the blueberry gooey butter cake was so good and easily my favorite part of the night. Would come back, especially for dessert! read more

Red Gravy was an excellent choice for dinner. The food was delicious, and our waitress was even better. She was personable and made us feel very welcome. If I'm ever back in Colorado Springs, I'll definitely make a reservation to eat here again in this casual and fun restaurant. read more

What a wonderful restaurant. The food and service were impeccable. I loved the casual atmosphere and ambience of the restaurant. I plan on returning often - and Red Gravy is my new go to spot for great Italian food. read more

Red Gravy has service, style, and food figured out. I have eaten here mainly for a weekday lunch, but it would also be a nice dinner spot. I absolutely love the Butternut Ravioli, it is my go-to pasta choice with a Red Gravy salad. However, I branched out and tried the Penne Pomodoro (vegan), and I was not disappointed. My favorite table is right by the window looking out at Tajon or sitting on the patio when the weather is nice. read more

Red Gravy - Butternut Ravioli! - Italian Near Me - Colorado Springs, Colorado

First time visit (2 people) to celebrate a birthday. Interior very comfortable, tasteful but not pretentious. REALLY hard to choose from all the great sounding Italian dishes! Settled on fried raviolis and Brussel sprouts appetizers, and split a very generous eggplant parm for main dish. All were yum. Our server knew her stuff. DEFINITELY will go back! read more

Mediocre food at best. Never ever order online for takeout-tiny portions and Unfortunately they use online ordering platforms that increase the price of the entire menu and refuse to take takeout orders over the phone like every other business read more

All the food items we ordered were super good: crispy risotto balls (highly recommend!) had a thin crispy shell but warm and soft filling that paired really well together and the two other pastas we ordered were great as well. Service was really nice and friendly, and I love that they mentioned the owner was a winner of Guy Fieri's gameshow?? Restaurant was also pretty nice with high ceilings, cute signs showing the way to the bathroom, nice windows at the front of the restaurant. read more

Honestly, this should've been a 2-star night, but the staff carried the whole experience on their backs. They were wonderful, friendly, and the only reason I'm not writing a total roast. The food? Yikes. One of our meals was straight-up awful, and my salad was drowning in so much dressing it could've used a lifeguard. The "award-winning" soup? Maybe it won an award for existing, but flavor-wise, that dish ain't it. To make things worse, everything took forever to come out -- and this wasn't exactly a packed house. But again, props to our server. They turned what could've been a train wreck into a "meh, I'd give it another shot" kind of night. So yeah, 3/5. If I come back, it'll be because the people were great... not because of that soggy salad. read more

This place is so good. The food was phenomenal the service was fast. The place stays packed from beginning to end so have a reservation handy. It stays busy so the noise level was not ideal for general conversation but not overbearing. The menu was so vast and the drinks were strong and delicious. I would definitely come here again. read more

We heard the owner has a St. Louis influence. Being in town for STL I had to try this place. I know my family from STL who live in Colorado complain about not having authentic toasted raviolis. They tend to be cheese filled. Inaccurate for the true appetizer found in STL. This place not only had the correct travs, it had gooey butter cake! Another STL original. I was impressed. We enjoyed a fabulous lunch and great service. They were under staffed and rocked it! They were attentive and kept us informed. I also love the second Sunday event. If I was in town I would definitely check it out! read more

On a Thursday night* don't come to this place if you don't reserve a table... when we got there the young guys working there said oh sorry no tables available even though they had many, also while we were staying outside looking for a new place to eat they had the balls to come tell us we can seat outside if we want. Are you kidding me? With our two kids in hands and a 40 degree weather. That's wild! What a rude staff! read more

Luckily snagged a reservation on a Saturday. Service was good from quick seating by the hostess, to various servers helping clear plates and deliver food, to our super nice waiter who helped me select the pesto cream pasta. They smartly dropped two bottles of water at the very beginning so you won't get parched. Food was overall very good. Tried the toasted ravioli (don't think that's my thing but I can see why people like it), but the red sauce it came with was really good-made me wish for some plain bread to dip. The low point was the salad-the romaine was beat to hell, with a few nice red lettuce leaves. However, the pimento, shaved onion, and dressing were quite nice. Pasta: the pesto pasta cream sauce w/sundried tomatoes-I subbed chicken for shrimp-was full of flavor and so delicious. I really wanted to eat the entire thing but alas. I also tried my first aperol spritz cocktail and thought it tasted nice, came out super fast. Hubs paperplane was also good. Ambiance was nice-brick walls, nice wood floors, felt lively. I would definitely return. read more

Wonderful experience, food was wonderful but the service was the star, Dylynne was our server and she was out of this world. Can not recommend this place enough. Do not miss this on your next trip to springs! read more

I truly don't understand the positive reviews of this place. The service was insanely slow. Salad was brown and soggy, pizza was arguably the worst I've ever had. read more

We wanted this food so bad! We need everyone/management to know how excited we were about this place. But 55 minutes before they closed we were told(as a pickup item to take it back to our place with 55 minutes to spare) NO! They didn't take in-house orders and the online purchase program didn't offer anything an hour before they close. And then we were told we weren't allowed to eat in.. all we wanted to do is try this food. Management needs to know about this. Not OK..... pleeeeease fix this! We just want your food! read more

It has been quite a few years since I last visited this place. My experience had left quite the bad taste in my mouth. I kept hearing people talk about how it was tasty and good and I have finally given it another try. TLDR: We will be back. Lisa was our server and was wonderful. The food was delicious - I even got a fix of that St Louis staple: Provel cheese. Everyone at our table thoroughly enjoyed their meals: chicken marsala, linguini with clams, meat lovers pizza, and spaghetti with meatballs. There were a number of other things I wanted to try and rest assured, we will be back to sample more. The no longer offer brunch - which is fine... their dinner more than makes up for it. read more

Being from Chicago and spoiled by all the top-notch world-famous trattorias on Taylor Street and Lincoln Park, it is hard to be patient with attempts at good Italian out here in Colorado. We have lived here for 5 years now and are still searching, but Red Gravy comes pretty close. Pros: location is fun, quaint with the exposed brick walls, high ceilings and semi-industrial vibe that lends personality. Nice, comprehensive menu selection and an unexpected large mocktail offering. Brussels sprouts and calamari for starters, fine. Nice marinade on the sprouts, not overly-drenched in oil like so many. Tomato sauce with calamari was ample and fresh. Tuscan salads were great - fresh, with an artichoke preparation I'm still thinking about - trying to figure out the smoky-sweet combo flavor. Again, dressed well and not drowning. Our server was quite excellent. Attentive and knowledgeable on many levels - from food prep/ingredients to chef's background to downtown Springs activity. Cons: The disappointment came with the sausage/carmelized onion pizza. Believing RG to be an authentic operation, I was looking forward to sampling which sausage they use, but turns out, we couldn't even really detect that it was sausage. Zero flavor profile and fairly scant. Very small pizza portion overall and just MEH. I do appreciate that they offer GF crusts though. Not sure what the head issues were with the host, but he seemed so confused that we wanted to sit at the bar even though there were a lot of empty tables. We asked for one of the 2-tops at the window and he informed that it was reserved. Fine. But 2 hours later, no one had ever come to occupy the table. Notwithstanding, we will be back, looking forward to see what the STL chef comes up with! read more

No bread served with any meal, lunch or entree last time I was here with family. So strange that an Italian restaurant with such great food would have no bread. read more

Red Gravy - Nice place, nice and quiet at lunch time on a Sunday. No bread. Disappointing - Italian Near Me - Colorado Springs, Colorado

Solid choice for pasta dishes! Ordered the Red Gravy Starter salad and the Sunday Gravy pasta dish. Both were outstanding! The light lettuce and red peppers in the salad made it! The pasta dish was a little spicy and perfectly cooked. I sat at the bar and service was great. The place is a little noisy (brick walls) but you could still do a romantic dinner here if that's what you're looking for. Just ask for a table by the front window. I'll be back for sure! read more

Last week our group had a reservation. It was at 5:30, 2 hours prior to our show. This should have been plenty of time. We had to ask the bartender if she was going to take our order. She came and got our drinks and apps, then took our dinner orders after we received drinks and apps. The kitchen was very slow and backed up. Had we known we could have put our order in earlier. We had to find a manager to explain we were on a timeline and hadn't received our food. This was close to the 7pm hour and the show started at 7:30. When we received the food, some of us got only a few bites before we had to box it up. One member of our party had cold food. I wrote the restaurant directly on their site and didn't hear anything from them. This was a very disappointing experience and to not receive a follow-up from my feedback shows how valuable a customer to them I am. read more

We tried Red Gravy for the first time last night. In sitting at the bar for over five minutes, no eye contact no menu then the bartender threw down a few menus. Probably about 4 to 5 more minutes had not asked if we wanted a drink so we decided it was a nice evening, maybe we should sit outside with a server. After the hostess moved us outside, we did not see anyone at our table for at least another 10 minutes. We're about 25 minutes in no drinks no water no greeting. We thought about leaving, but that right at that time a server came out and poured water and took our drink order and we thought we should go ahead and put in appetizer order. Waited for another 10 minutes to get our bottle of wine. The appetizer actually came out before the bottle of wine. We ordered the vodka meatballs and brussels sprouts, while the brussels sprouts were hot and tasty. The meatballs were less than lukewarm and OK. The focaccia is served cold, which was a disappointment and brought after the appetizers. We ordered the mushroom risotto entrée. The risotto tasted like grits or oatmeal probably made about four or five days ahead of time and then warmed up and served. With two of us eating one entrée not even eating half of it. The server did not even acknowledge that there might be an issue. We did have a nice bottle of wine at a great price. However, wine not worth the cost of the meal kind of a bummer because I had high hopes for this place but not someplace I would ever go again. read more

Sorry to say this but.... Service was great but..... food was NOT good. We loved the wine ( we got a bottle of Chardonnay). We loved our cocktails. We ordered an appetizer, the fried ravioli. Just blah.... Ordered the spinach salad it was good not great and that's the salad. We ordered the Ciao de Pepe. It was so chalky and pasty. We split everything and I am so happy we did because that might have been the worst meal I have ever paid for. I cannot recommend this place. We were so excited to try this place in Colorado Springs. It had some great reviews and was one of the top recommendations. Disappointed and out173 dollars tip included. read more

Went to dinner here last night. I had the veal masala and my friend ordered the fettuccine carbonara. Both were really delicious! We had some appetizers as well. Service was excellent. Waitress and bartender were top tier and on it throughout the night! We were seated in the blue room I think (the back area) and it was very nice. Honestly it was much better ambiance than the front area and I greatly enjoyed the energy in this smaller, quieter section. I've been to Red Gravy a few times over the years and this was by far the best experience yet. read more

Went with 3 other ppl and got a table quickly on a Wednesday night. They offer complimentary bread, which was soft. It went great with the awesome mushroom risotto I ordered. It's a completely vegetarian meal. I recommend. My dinner mates had a chicken pizza (he loved it), penne paste (loved it) and another pizza (loved it). I appreciated the water refill system, they keep a bottle of water on the table to allow you to refill when needed. The server was very knowledgeable and attentive. read more

We stopped by this restaurant about two weeks ago while in town for the USAFA Prepatory graduation. My nephew lives in Colorado Sorings and loves this place so he brought us here for dinner after the graduation. I had the shrimp pesto and it was okay but not my favorite. For appetizers we had some kind of mini calzones with marinara dipping sauce and it was amazing..we had a larger group.. 7 of us and our server was okay but several times I ran out of water and I couldn't find my server to flag him down for a refill which was a bummer. This place is huge..if you walk back toward the bathrooms, there's a whole other area with a bar and horses painted on the wall that looks like a staple and it is really cool. I might give this place another shot another time but I was not super impressed or maybe my nephew overhyped it..regardless, this place might not be for me, but it might be for you! Good luck. Also, they valet for 2 hours for the parking structure down the street. read more

My husband and I had a great time eating at Red Gravy during our visit to Colorado Springs! We were seated outside immediately when we arrived, and the hostess and our waiters were super friendly and informative. We ordered the calamari, a cup of the tomato bisque, and the spinach salad (I still DREAM about that vinaigrette I can't lie) as our starters. I ordered the fettuccine carbonara (delicious but a heavy dish - be hungry for this one!) and my husband got the bucatini bolognese. We were too full for dessert, but they had some very tasty options! The weather was perfect for sitting outside - there was some construction during our visit but nothing too wild. Inside it's dimly lit and cozy. The bathrooms are far to the back, so you get to walk off some of the food on your way! All in all, we loved our experience and would really like to come back if we visit the area again! read more
