Ristorante di Sopra, founded in 2017, is the crowning jewel of owner and chef Franco Pisani, that sits atop his original, award-winning Italian restaurant, Paravicini’s in Old Colorado City.
Both entities are committed to serving guests the freshest, homemade pasta, sauces and cuts you’ll find anywhere in Colorado Springs, with a fresh flare at Sopra that’s distinguished and charming. Franco draws much of his inspiration from his dear mother’s cooking and he takes great pride in sharing those recipes and reimagining classic dishes to present his own creative take.
Using the culinary direction of mainland Italy, Sopra crafts seasonal menus featuring the highest quality ingredients and replicates the flavors currently flourishing abroad. We pair our old world menu with an extensive wine list, cutting edge cocktails, elevated mocktails and truly whimsical desserts that are beyond anywhere else in the whole of Colorado.

Chef Franco Pisani
"L’appetito vien mangiando"
Sopra, which began as a tapas and wine bar, transitioned into a one-of-a-kind, contemporary American fine dining restaurant that maintains an upscale atmosphere while still adhering to the warm and welcoming persona that chef Franco exudes himself. We are happy to accommodate your fully realized expectations of a planned engagement, host a bachelor/bachelorette party with aromatic cigars on our picturesque patio with mountain views or enjoy a progressive meal shared with friends that captures good laughs, great food and the spontaneity that a truly fantastic dinner out in the Springs should encompass.
"L’appetito vien mangiando" As the popular Italian food saying goes, “the appetite comes while you are eating,” so pull up a chair and make a little more room for that extra plate of pasta with us at Ristorante di Sopra.
