Ristorante Del Lago

Our server Alvaro made our experience incredible. He was so friendly and knowledgeable and went above and beyond to make our evening special. Ordered the carbonara and it was delicious and authentic. And the tiramisu was excellent!

This place was wonderful!! The entire staff was top notch and the food was amazing as well as the drinks and wine. You are seated promptly with very attentive service. We ordered the chefs tasting menu and I would highly recommend it to anyone. It was definitely the best of the places we ate at the Broadmoor. Way better than La Taverne.

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.

*Update* Was convinced to come back for a second try. Came back NOT during a conference week. The quality and experience was night and day difference. So much flavor and much better portion size. Had the mussels and rigatoni. Outstanding service as well with Gracie and the other staff. Great view of the lake. Under seasoned sauce, underwhelming/overpriced portion size, bitter olive oil. Surprising as they allegedly get their olive oil from Italy. Will not return. Go to Summit instead.

This is a true hidden gem residing in Colorado. Until this evening, I had no idea that a 5-star hotel of this scale and structure exists. My husband booked this restaurant for our anniversary dinner and I was blown away! The restaurant is fantastic - service is excellent, food is amazing, and the ambience is just perfect. We have bookmarked this hotel for our next trip to Colorado, we are definitely staying here and enjoying this restaurant one more time. Highly recommend

We came here for the first time for valentines and it did not disappoint! The pizza and pasta were unbelievably delicious. Excited to return again!

The staff there was tremendously friendly and helpful. Our waiter "Mark" gave great input on what to have and had a great attitude. He went above and beyond to make sure our experience was a memorable one, which it was. I would definitely go back and try something different because the food was excellent and I want to try others. Pricing is fair for what you get in memories. Thank you to all who catered to us.

Very upscale Italian Restaurant. They make the pasta and bread on house. Beautiful views overlooking the water!
