Biaggi’s Ristorante Italiano

Earlier this month we went down to Colorado Springs to surprise Big Bad Dad’s cousin at his 50th birthday lunch gathering. I had never heard of Biaggi’s Ristorante Italiano before. However, I was prepared for another so-so chain restaurant (like the Olive Garden) when I found out it was located next to a big fancy mall. I was soon proven wrong.

I could wax on how nice the decor was, how helpful and attentive the wait staff, and how extensive the menu, but their website says it best.

Biaggi’s is a fun, casual, white-tablecloth restaurant that offers an extensive menu featuring a full selection of house-made and imported pasta, soups & salads, pizza, seafood, fresh fish, chicken, veal, steaks and desserts. Large portions of affordably priced menu selections are prepared with the freshest ingredients available.

Biaggi’s believes strongly in providing guests with exceptional service. In addition to staffing the restaurants with an experienced management team, Biaggi’s has focused significant resources towards the training of its service personnel. Biaggi’s goal is to ensure that each customer leaves with the feeling they have received the highest level of personal service.

Biaggi’s seeks to use unique design elements to create an authentic Italian atmosphere with the feel and old world charm of an Italian trattoria. The restaurant’s informal and friendly atmosphere, combined with affordable pricing, is intended to be appropriate for a wide variety of dining occasions from a quick meal on Tuesday evening to an anniversary celebration on Saturday night.

Biaggi’s welcomes and encourages the entire family to enjoy the Biaggi’s experience. A full kid’s menu is available and children are welcome at all times.

The restaurant really did meet the standards they set out to fulfill. I was very impressed.

Capellinidimare
BBD had the Capellini Di Mare, angel hair pasta with shrimp, scallops, and calamari sauteed in a spicy tomato vegetable sauce and topped with mussels and Little Neck Clams. Even though I liked my dish, I wish I had ordered it too since it looked so good.
Shrimpscallopcannelloni
I had the Shrimp and Scallop Cannelloni, spinach pasta filled with shrimp, scallops, ricotta cheese, and fresh spinach, baked in a rich lobster-tomato cream sauce. It was delicious and a bit spicy.
Kidspizza
The kids shared a ham pizza (no pineapple). I was impressed that the kid’s pizza was the same size as the regular personal pizza, yet was cheaper and included a fountain drink.

I’m looking forward to the opening of a Biaggi’s in Loveland, Colorado – about 20 minutes north of my home – this spring and a chance to sample more marvelous dishes.
