The food was So good and the people were So friendly, it was clear that this place was full of love, love for food, love for the customers, and love for each other. The atmosphere was Lovely and relaxed. Not one person sitting at a table was on their phone, just people of all ages having good old conversation. I would recommend this place to anyone. If I lived in the area I would be her every week.

A hidden gem just south of downtown Colorado Springs and a well-earned 5-stars. Happy Eats Pasta is a small business "mom & pop" restaurant who have only been open for a short time. I only heard about them after seeing a random Nextdoor post about food. I looked them up, saw the very high reviews and decided to bring my family here. We have been here 3 times and it is a family favorite. The owners now recognize us and greet us personally. The Food: Fettucine Alfredo: I am super picky when it comes to Alfredo sauce. I make my own at home and refuse to buy the jars of it. It has been so hard for me to find a consistently delicious Alfredo pasta around this town. The Alfredo sauce here is delicious and I can taste the balance of the flavors. Also, the grilled chicken has good flavor and texture(another failure that I see constantly at other locations). My wife had it with Salmon and she said it was seasoned well, cooked well and delicious. Cavatappi Chipotle Alfredo: I tried this on our first visit and unfortunately it was not my thing. It was actually pretty spicy. However, the oil from the chipotle made my stomach upset. I highly recommend the normal Alfredo sauce. Spaghetti and Penne Bolognese: The Bolognese(meat sauce) is rich and flavorful. So many other places give you watery, bland sauce. This is not like that at all, it coats the pasta well, they give you plenty and there is lots of meat. My kids love it. Pepperoni Garlic Toast and Garlic Parm Fries: The toast is so soft, I don't know how they do it. It is easy to eat too much. The fries are nice and crispy with a decent amount of parmesan and garlic. Get them with a side of Alfredo sauce to dip, you won't regret it. Gelato: Their gelato is fantastic and it is made locally here in town. My favorite is the spumoni. The Service: The service here is fantastic. The servers are very proper and respectful. You will always find the owners here as well. The Atmosphere: The interior is so warm and welcoming. The

I love when you have places like this. And it was right under my nose THE WHOLE TIME. Beautiful design ! Smells, looks, and felt clean. All of the workers there were more than nice and went out of there way to make sure we had a premium quality experience. It was my family’s first time here and we checked it out because it came HIGHLY reccommended. And it DID NOT DISSAPPOINT. Calamari was perfectly crispy ! Garlic rolls melted in your mouth, marinata was fresh and had amazing texture, the meatball sandwiches were a MOUTHGASM ! ! ! I’m so happy to have enjoyed this food. People like this, and places like this deserve all the love in the world.

We are from Texas, visiting for our wedding anniversary and we decided to stop here that special night. This place was super cute, nice environment, quick service (food also came out fast), and super empty while we were there, some folks came in while we ate, but for the most part, it was such a relaxing evening! The server was extremely nice!! This is a must visit! 🫶🏻😊

Atmosphere & Service I genuinely enjoyed my recent visit. The atmosphere is warm and inviting—walking in feels like stepping into someone’s home. Soft background music sets a relaxing tone. Our waitress, who also happens to be one of the owners, was an absolute delight. She walked us through the menu with care, offering helpful insights and even suggesting creative ways to mix and match different options. The Food Outstanding. I built my own pasta dish with cavatappi, their popular chipotle-lime Alfredo sauce, and baked chicken. Every bite was flavorful, and the presentation matched the taste—simple, elegant, and appetizing. If you have time, dine in and enjoy the full experience. Between the atmosphere, the service, and the incredible food, it’s well worth the stop.

It was my first time eatting here tonight. When you come into front door they had nice candles lit which had a nice fall scent. The staff was very welcoming and the interior design was orginal and Monica had some nice stories on where the decor came from. They have a cool side room desert bar and the Gelato was really good. I had a great meal (breaded cheese ravioli, summer salad, chicken parm, strawberry & salted carmel gelato) and I think the menu has alot of options and pictures showing you what they serve. Overall great 1st experience! Totally worth the visit!

I’ve had both dine in and take out. Dine in experience- I went with my partner and his parents. We all loved the food it was very good and the serves was quick on top of everything that we needed and had an amazing level of professionalism. Take out experience - ordered through the website after craving this place again. Ordered through the website, website gave us a time frame that was accurate. We ordered, chicken Alfredo with breaded chicken. Chicken Alfredo with ghost habanero and the mac and cheese. All were amazing hot n ready when we went to pick up. We picked it up ten minutes after the given pick up time and everything was still very hot. Got home food was as good as if we were eating in the restaurant again. The sauces are amazing and cooked with love super delicious and just well seasoned very very good. Everything for the price was amazing and super delicious. Will definitely be coming back again and trying more of the sauces.

We were looking for a nice comfy place to kill some time and fill our belly’s. And wow this place really was awesome. Chloe guided us through the menu and recommended the breaded chicken. And my god she was correct. Amazing menu, very straight forward. Lovely staff. And amazing deserts. I definitely would recommend checking this place out. 10/10

The atmosphere was quaint and romantic — the kind of place where you instantly relax the moment you sit down. If I closed my eyes, I could almost imagine we were tucked away in a cozy little trattoria in Italy. The lighting, the intimate setting, and the overall vibe made it perfect for a date night/day. Started out with fried ravioli, which was absolutely decadent, and crisped to perfection. With handmade sauces,I ordered the chicken alfredo with spinach, and it was rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced — not too heavy, just indulgent enough. My wife had the Chipotle Alfredo chicken tortellini, which added a subtle smoky kick to the classic Alfredo flavor. Both dishes were cooked beautifully, and the portions were absolutely perfect — satisfying without being overwhelming. We shared a glass of Pinot Grigio, which paired wonderfully with the creamy pasta, and finished with a homemade brownie topped with ice cream. That dessert alone was worth coming back for — warm, decadent, and the perfect sweet ending. What truly made the experience unforgettable, though, was the service. It was out of this world — attentive, warm, and genuinely welcoming. You could tell they cared about making the experience special. If you’re looking for a romantic, authentic-feeling Italian dinner with incredible food and outstanding service, this place is a must-visit. We’ll definitely be back.
