Paravicini’s Italian Bistro on West Colorado Avenue in Colorado Springs’s Old Colorado City neighborhood has been a city Italian institution since it opened, building a menu around the house-made pasta, slow-simmered Italian sauces, and the scratch-made Italian comfort food that earns a historic Colorado Springs neighborhood restaurant its loyal following in a market where genuinely authentic Italian cooking is valued and not always easy to find. It appeared in Season 23, Episode 12 of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, “Isle-Talian,” which aired December 4, 2015. Guy Fieri found a Colorado Springs Italian kitchen doing things from scratch with the family commitment to quality that earns an Old Colorado City restaurant its destination reputation across the Pikes Peak region.
