Great food! Great service! It was a very pleasant experience and look forward to going back!

What a nice little mom and pop place. The decor is very inviting as is the staff. This was our first time and it was great. I gotta say the bolognese was really very good. Hearty with a hint of spice. It really was special. Finished the meal with a cannoli and it did not disappoint. My daughter's gelato was very good....but that cannoli! Unfortunately, we're not close to this place. We will be back, just not as soon as we'd like. Best of luck to them. read more

The food was delicious. A good mid price option. The place is tastefully decorated which definitely reflects the mix and match menu that is available. The service was very quick, we were greeted at the door. Hannah who was our server was perfect loved her so much. read more

Happy Eats Pasta - Cavatappi Alfredo with Italian sausage and eggplant Parmesan with chipotle Alfredo sauce. Great portions for the full sized plate - Italian Near Me - Colorado Springs, Colorado

Really good food. Sauce especially, nice kick to it. The co-owner was the only one waiting, even though most every table was full. And kept making mistakes, but I feel for her. Need more staff. The appetizer of pizza pieces and sauce was literally half the size of the picture on the menu. Seems silly to do that. It was good though, they should have actual pizza. Just really good pasta and salad. Highly recommend! read more

This is the best pasta in the Springs, hands down. The marinara is fresh and delicious. The meatball sub is the best I've had, but the meatball sliders on Hawaiian rolls are to die for. Plus, the owners are just the nicest folks around. read more

Very affordable and very good. The veggie stir fry was great as were the desserts. Food was inexpensive and the service was great.

Happy Eats Pasta - Penne Chipotle Alfredo & Bacon - Italian Near Me - Colorado Springs, Colorado

My husband doesn't care much for pasta but loved their food. He said it was the best pasta he ever had. I, on the other hand, could eat pasta everyday. I loved it too. The service was great, owners were welcoming and the decor was very well done. A new addition to our restaurant rotation. read more

Man, I have been eating at this place, before there was even "a place." I used to follow their food truck all over town just to get my favorite pasta. I was in, just a couple days ago and had my usual Fettuccine Alfredo, with grilled chicken and peas. As always it was perfect, but the real story is the strawberry milkshake I got. All I can say is WOW! Usually a milkshake is really creamy, OR very flavorful. This magically accomplished both! Darby and Monica never cease to surprise and amaze me with their wonderful restaurant! 5 stars!! read more

Everything on the menu is overpriced the owners are nice so it seems. The service is good. The food is decent and the portions are not great for the price. Also this place only shows 5 star reviews negative reviews tend to get removed by dispute through yelp support. read more

Our group of 13 had a wonderful lunch dining experience at Happy Eats Pasta. Service was excellent as was all the food and drinks. Our group loved the great assortment of appetizers, salads, entrees, choice of pasta noodles and wide variety of sauces (meat Bolognese so delicious). The meatball sliders and sandwiches were a big hit too. Loved, loved the gelato and Tiramisu. A true neighborhood gem. read more

I come here often with my best friend, we love this place. We used to eat at their food truck a lot! The owners are so very kind. The restaurant is very cozy inside, it's like in your family's home. They are always so good. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. read more

The best pasta I've ever had! I work across the street and I come here at least once a week to have my favorite pasta. The owners are extremely kind, and every employee of encountered is good at their job! I recommend this place to everyone. read more

Happy Eats Pasta - Tortellini with chipotle Alfredo sauce and grilled chicken - Italian Near Me - Colorado Springs, Colorado

The food was ok. Needed a bit more flavor and some of the pasta needed another minute or 2 to fully cook. The staff were friendly and did their best. read more

We had a party of nine and did not have a reservation, unaware that the restaurant accepted them. We arrived around 4:15 PM and were welcomed and seated without any issues. The staff simply rearranged some tables and chairs to accommodate our group. This charming little restaurant is beautifully decorated, clean, and tidy, with an eclectic style. Our waitstaff was exceptionally attentive, and our food arrived promptly. The pasta was cooked to perfection; I ordered penne, which was al dente, just as it should be. Their bread consists of Hawaiian rolls topped with delicious garlic butter and parmesan. Although a roll comes with most entrees, we ordered extra as appetizers. They were fresh and delicious! Checkout was a breeze. We had four different tickets, and they were processed by the staff using a handheld computer with tip options already calculated. I highly recommend this family-run restaurant for its delightful homemade meals. read more

Great Food, Great Service, Great Ambience! I always get the salmon, friend always gets the spaghetti and meatballs. We love it!

Their food should be winning awards. Some of the best in town. The atmosphere is like an Italian cafe.

it is very hard to get good Italian food out west. I'm an Italian American from New York who grew up in a town full of Italian Americans one or two generations from Ellis Island and this place is awesome. I can't believe I have finally found a place where I can eat Italian food again. I also absolutely love the atmosphere. They evidently found a bunch of vintage tables and chairs and they look magnificent. I want to take home the one I'm sitting at right this minute lol. I hope a lot of people come here and make them a great success because I would hate not to have them in my town. Come on down everybody!! read more

It is hard to write a review about average service, so when I encounter excellent service, I don't feel it is a chore to review them. Happy Eats Pasta is not just excellent service (from everybody there), but the food was excellent, too, combined with fair prices making a dinner here a great value. We share the caprese salad as an appetizer and it was super fresh and flavorful, perfect for two (2 slices each). She had the fettucine alfredo with mushrooms and chicken and swears she never had better. I had the spaghetti with maranara, spinach, and meatballs and it was just as I had hope, simple but rich. She had the brownie with ice cream and I had the Peroni which rounded off a perfect dinner. Next time, I want a cannoli. They fill them when ordered so they're fresh and crisp. read more

This was a nice little Italian spot. My husband had the chicken parmesan sandwich and I had the chicken parm with pasta. We both really enjoyed our food. The service was excellent. I wish I had gotten our server's name. She was stellar! read more

A wonderful place with a calm environment, simple menu, great service, and delicious food. The bolognese was fantastic! The grilled shrimp in linguine with Alfredo and Marinara mixed was perfect. The half servings were plenty of food! A full serving would certainly be enough for leftovers or sharing. Enjoy! read more

Excellent service, the food was awesome, highly recommended the decoration were very homecoming read more

Happy Eats Pasta - Chicken Parmesan and fettuccine - Italian Near Me - Colorado Springs, Colorado

Staff was super kind. For $18 build your own pasta the quality was terrible. Alfredo sauce was okay. Added grilled chicken that was cheap diced white chicken breast definitely NOT grilled and barely any of it (the cost to add this chicken was $5). The roll if came with was clearly a store bought Hawaiian roll with barely any garlic brushed on. Tasted like cafeteria food. My husbands fries were clearly made 8 hours earlier and extremely dried out and tasteless. We were super disappointed for how much we paid. Grocery store pasta would be better. These 5 star reviews cannot be true. read more

We were so excited to try this place. We didn't realize they closed at 8.We got there at 745 to order our food, to go. The front staff was really nice but the 2 guys in the back were talking trash yelling the f bomb and saying a bunch of other things, making us feel really uncomfortable, to the point where the ladies in the front had to close the door between. When we received our food one of the guys was staring at my son shaking his head at him. It was a horrible experience. To top it off none of us trusted eating the food they made. We threw away $90's worth of food. read more

Delicious food, great atmosphere, and very friendly staff! We will definitely come back next time we are visiting the Springs.

I love this restaurant I took my family here today and they thoroughly enjoyed the meal and the experience. Monica and Darby are gracious hosts and owners. They treat you as if you were their own family. The restaurant is sparkling clean and decorated beautifully to reflect good taste! read more

This is a hidden gem!!! The pasta is so much better than that more expensive Italian place in Colorado Springs and it's really reasonably price. Try the penne pasta with the chipotle alfredo sauce. Amazing!!! Please go visit this place. You will be so happy you did. read more

I came for the 3rd time. They insisted we sit and take order at the table. I did not want to do that, because I did not want to tip, because I think their prices are kind of high and to eat there and have to tip makes it just that much more. I think charging 5.00 for the little bit of chicken they give you is unsatisfactory. They seem to charge 5 whether you get the whole order or half. The vegetables charge of $2 is better, but still you do not get much. I also thought they did not put enough sauce on it this time. I like the food and want to support this small business, but 18.00 for a half order of pasta is too much. I can go many places and spend less and get good food and spend the same and get food to take home. I sincerely wish them the best, read more

The food was super good! The people were delightful! I hate a lot of stuff but this place at one
