This restaurant was recommended by a friend, and now I completely understand why people speak so highly of it. Every part of our visit felt thoughtfully put together. We were seated quickly, our server was attentive and friendly, and everyone seemed genuinely happy to help. The menu offered plenty of choices, and everything we ordered was delicious. The flavors were balanced, the ingredients tasted fresh, and every plate arrived at the perfect temperature. It's obvious that the kitchen takes pride in what they serve. Even the drinks were prepared perfectly and paired well with our meal. The atmosphere was another highlight. The restaurant was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had a relaxed vibe that made us want to stay longer. It felt welcoming without trying too hard, which made the experience even better. I rarely leave reviews, but this place truly deserves one. It's refreshing to find a restaurant where the quality of the food, the level of service, and the overall experience all come together so well. I will definitely be returning and recommending this place to friends and family. read more

Great service, delish food! We had the burrata to start - and the olive tapenade was a perfect pairing with the cheese. Then my sister and I split the butternut squash with brown butter, sans bacon because she's a vegetarian. I didn't even miss it. I was even eating the spinach alone with the sauce - so very tasty! I will be back! read more

This place was a total win! We went during HH and tried a lot of the option - all the salads were super fresh and crisp. The dressings are made in house and you can tell. The oysters are amazing and the HH price is unheard of. All the sliders were great. The service is amazing here - our server, Ian, was super accommodating and prompt. He made our meal even better. Everything was accurate. Ambience is cute! Indoors is small and cozy. Patio is fantastic on a nice day. We would be back in a heartbeat! read more

Great spot for a tasty dinner on the patio! We had a group of 5 on a Friday night and easily got a table outside around 5:30, then it seemed like the place really started filling up after 6. They have great happy hour deals on food and drinks (I ordered the happy hour Caesar salad and it was a good sized portion!). The dinner menu has lots of great options. I loved the ragu di capra with pappardelle. We also shared calamari, gluten-free pizza, and oysters. The calamari has a nice light breading with a sweet red pepper glaze - definitely try this if you like calamari! Would definitely go back for another girls night or date night. read more

Everything was fantastic!!! From our greeting, thank you Jacob. To the food. To our wonderful server, Olivia. This is a top notch restaurant. Every item on the menu is delicious. Our dishes were spaced out just right so that we were not overwhelmed. Not pictures but we also had charcoal oysters, toasted ravioli, crab cake sliders, and pizza. Definitely recommend. Kudos to Jacob and Olivia for making our first experience memorable. read more

Decided to come in for the late night happy hour which begins at 9 PM. The ambience is more like a bar when walking in, but they do have a dining room to the left-hand side. We came in for their half dozen oysters, which are only about $1.25 per oyster at night. It was a pretty good deal and I also loved the toppings and sauces that it came with. I felt like these were very fresh. However, I did feel like they could be cleaned a little bit better. The Caesar salad had a great garlic taste, and I would get it over and over again The baked oyster was OK not my favorite The balsamic glazed ribs were a hit at the table and fell off the bone. I would absolutely get these again with such great flavor. Overall, I would come whether it be happy hour or not to try there more extensive menu especially some of the pizzas that we saw come out. read more

I had such a great dinner at Angelo's Taverna and I'm already planning my next visit. We started with the Mushroom Agnolotti, and it was absolutely delicious, earthy, creamy, and packed with flavor. The pasta had the perfect bite, and the filling was rich and savory without being too heavy. I added chicken for some protein but it felt like a afterthought. It was dry and had no flavor. Not the dishes fault as I added it but definitely not needed. Overall dish felt comforting but still elevated. The Duck Confit Pasta was hands down my favorite. The duck was incredibly tender and flavorful, and the sauce tied everything together beautifully. It was indulgent without feeling greasy -- just rich, balanced, and satisfying. And the Lobster Gnocchi? So decadent in the best way. The gnocchi were pillowy soft, and the lobster added that sweet, buttery richness that made the dish feel extra special. The place was packed and we did have a 30min wait time but it was worth it. The vibe is lively and energetic (it can get a little loud), but it adds to the fun atmosphere. If you're craving standout pasta dishes with a cozy, buzzing neighborhood feel, this spot is definitely worth it! read more

Pretty good! Honestly the best part of this place was the tea happening at the table next to us. The food wasn't super memorable, though it has a story tied to it. We witnessed a couple fist fighting,,, in a scary way. It definitely added to our trip, but didn't super live up to the hype. I liked what I got, and don't have many complaints. Ambiance is nice, and they had a great wine deal as well! read more

Angelo's has been one of my favorite happy hours for the last few years! I especially love sitting on the patio during a summer night. When I go, I usually get a plate of oysters for the table, the burrata, the sliders, the Caesar salad and the flatbread pizza! Plus, the great selection of wine and a homey chestnut interior are a winner in my book. The service is always top tier, and you truly can't go wrong with any of their menu items. My absolute favorite menu item is their calamari! I have it on my last meal list. A true Denver staple. read more

I have been here several times over the course of the last 5 years. Food is always very good. We had a large party and they did a good job to accommodate us. The restaurant is always very busy, so get here early! The staff was friendly and we are happy we decided to have our get together here. The fancy Italian salad, was nothing special, the kind of lettuce that no one likes, 4/10. I had the crab-cake slider which had a fishy taste, for $8 I wouldn't order it again 5/10. The arancini was pretty good, I wouldn't say that I loved the tomato sauce but the arancini themselves were cooked and seasoned well 7/10. The green chile ravioli was a nice dish, good flavor and excellent sauce 8/10. Both large 16" pizzas were very good 7.5/10. The tiramisu dessert was a highlight, it was the best thing we had, great flavor and nice portion 9.5/10. We look forward to coming back again in the future. Great spot for pizza. read more

Exceptional ambiance, staff, and amenities. But it's the bar that has always kept me coming back. Killer apps, creative cocktail options, and a staff that will earn your respect. They know what they are doing. They don't seem to adhere to the omnipresent, "Pick something fast or hit the road, I have a ZOOM meeting with the rest of my D&D club right now, anyway" mentality I keep running into. The staff at Angelo's really is something. They seem to know when to appear to help and when to depart, so you can focus on having a good time. Always courteous, always knowledgeable. The pizza and pasta are top-notch. But, they have many, MANY other options as well. Also, it's been a while, but I suspect they still have plenty of their in-house-crafted Limoncello. Get that. I dare you. read more

I haven't been to Angelo's in a few years and it's still just as good as I remember. We got the vodka penne, butternut squash ravioli, and a pepperoni pizza. The vodka penne was hands down my favorite, super creamy and full of flavor. The ravioli was good too, just could have used a little more seasoning. Pizza was classic and tasty. It was busy, like it always is, but everything came out quick and the food is always consistent. I love this spot and their happy hour is definitely worth it. read more

The Highlights * The Oysters: We started with the oysters, and they were the definition of fresh. Briny, chilled to perfection, and served with a sharp, balanced mignonette that highlighted their natural sweetness. A perfect opening act. * The Pasta & Ravioli: The heart of the meal was a masterclass in Italian comfort. The ravioli featured delicate, handmade pillows of pasta with a rich, velvety filling that melted away instantly. Following that with the pasta dish--cooked to a flawless al dente--the sauces were robust, vibrant, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. * The Tiramisu: You cannot leave without ordering the tiramisu. It was airy and light, with the perfect ratio of espresso-soaked ladyfingers to creamy mascarpone. It wasn't overly sweet, allowing the deep cocoa and coffee flavors to shine through. The Verdict It's rare to find a place that excels equally at fresh seafood and traditional pasta. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates authentic flavors and a kitchen that cares about the details. I'll be dreaming about that ravioli until my next visit. Not to leave out the service was amazing the place was a true hidden jem read more

I ordered pasta with burst fresh cherry tomatoes and olive oil and spices. What I got was super dry almost crusted over pasta with leather-like sun dried tomatoes. The pasta was so dry I could hardly chew it and I had to pick out the leather tomatoes that I didn't order because they were super hard to chew. It was a far cry from the fresh pasta and burst cherry tomato dish I thought I was getting. The chef obviously didn't care about making a nice dish for a customer. The lemon cake dessert was really good though. read more

The most enjoyable part of our meal was the burrata. The rest fell well short of expectations. Best way to describe the food is a single step above what you'd expect from a chain restaurant. Nothing I'd consider artisan or creative. Service was friendly but a bit slow. The decor was what you'd expect at a chain restaurant as well so not much to say about that. I guess at the price point, I was expecting more from the sauces and quality. Sadly all the sauces were bland and tasted rushed. The bread tasted like it was made at a Safeway bakery. Luckily for the burrata, the fresh mozzarella was creamy and delicious as were the pesto and glaze that came with it. In my opinion, everything just missed the mark. Of the three dishes, only one was finished and not due to our party not being hungry. It's one and done for me and my family. read more

came here for an early dinner. There weren't many people in the place, but it was a nice casual vibe inside. I ordered the Caesar salad as well as the ribs. The Caesar salad sauce was extremely garlicy and I could not finish it. The ribs were good but a bit sweet for me personally. The food portions were good. we also had the build your own pizza options and they were alright. The 16 inch large is very big and can definitely be split. Our server was friendly and they had a good amount of street parking at the front. read more

good food and good service. Very reasonable prices. That alone is a good reason to go.

Angelos Taverna is a beautiful spot with fantastic potential. The ambiance is one of its biggest strengths--the dim lighting and fancy decor create a genuinely great atmosphere perfect for a date night or celebratory dinner. Furthermore, our server was exceptionally kind and attentive, contributing greatly to the positive front-of-house experience. The positive notes continued through our appetizers, which were generally excellent. However, one key starter was a letdown: the bruschetta. Instead of the expected crusty bread, it arrived on a soft, somewhat soggy base, which diminished the texture and taste. Unfortunately, the main courses were where the experience truly declined. I ordered the goat pasta, which was described as being mixed with goat cheese. As the photo shows, the dish arrived with only a few small crumbles sprinkled on top, which I had to request more of. Even after fixing the cheese issue, the pasta itself was the biggest disappointment--it was drastically undercooked, chewy, and in some parts, almost hard. For a restaurant focused on Italian fare, undercooked pasta is a major misstep. While the service and atmosphere merit a higher rating, the poor execution of both the bruschetta and the main pasta entree made it feel like the kitchen staff was rushing or not focused on quality control. This unevenness makes it difficult to recommend Angelos for a full meal right now. I hope the kitchen can match the high standards set by the dining room and the rest of the staff. read more

The buds and I came here when we were in town visiting a buddy who lives here. Hes had almost everything on the menu and preaches about each dish. We had a great experience with each dish. The service was phoenomenal with a big shout out to Bailey who dealt with our silly vibes with grace. We had a group of seven and they were able to get us in pretty quick even though they were packed. The ambiance is great. The Ragu Di Capra was probably my fav out of all the dishes but the chipotle bourbon butter chargrilled oysters were a killer second. I could eat 25 of those. All in all it's definitely worth checking out if you're in Denver and want some super yummy ita read more

Angelo's on 6th Ave Friday night and waited only 15 mins for a table. Started with 6 lovely east coast oysters to go with my Bierstadt Pilsner and her lemoncello martini, which she enjoyed enormously. Manager brought us two different grilled oysters after hearing we hadn't returned in over 20 years. I was partial to the Parmesan cream but my wife loved the chipotle barbecue. We've developed the habit of sharing dishes as our appetites have shrunk with age. We split a roasted beet salad, French onion soup, and the chili relleno ravioli. I found the ravioli to be inventive and delicious with yellow corn and blue corn pastas. Celebrating our anniversary we splurged for the cannoli on a bed of chocolate and caramel. You won't find a better staff or service. Angelo's hardly needs my endorsement after 40 years in business, but you'll find the experience absolutely fabulous. read more

I honestly hadn't been to Angelo's in quite a long time, and I called ahead to get on the list since I know it gets busy. The host first tried to seat us in the detached banquet room, which felt clunky to get to and wasn't a very inviting spot, so we opted for the bar instead. Be careful when choosing a bar seat, though--if you're too close to the kitchen, it gets really hot! My bestie and I were eyeing the lasagna, so we split that and a pizza. Unfortunately, both were buried under so much cheese and so soggy that they were pretty unenjoyable. We left remembering why it had been so long since our last visit, I hope this place can improve. read more

Love the food and service here! We had a house salad, burrata appetizer, soup, two pastas, and a dessert. The happy hour special is a great deal, but we weren't here during that time. Go during happy hour! The outdoor seating area has a nice ambiance and is nicer than the indoor seating area. As a vegetarian, there isn't much on the menu with protein that I can eat. read more

Came in for happy hour but didn't make the time cut because they were so busy on a Thursday night. So joining the yelp waiting list is a must. Parking is very very limited in the back so street parking can be also daunting. The place is definitely cozy. The food was just ok the waiters are a hit or miss. Unfortunately it was a complete miss and the guy forgot about our table completely. It took him 25 mins to realize that we were waiting for our check. read more

We stopped by Angelo's for dinner because of the rave reviews and it did not disappoint! First off, I love how lively the ambiance here is. When I think of Italian restaurants, I usually think of a more quiet setting whereas Angelo's has TV's with sports games playing all around the restaurant. It definitely feels like a fusion between a restaurant and a sports bar. The food however, is way better than a sports bar. My husband and I ordered the vodka penne with chicken and the bison ravioli with half marinara and half Alfredo sauce. From the two, the vodka penne was the standout--it was SO delicious. The sauce on it was spectacular and I found myself eating the leftover sauce by itself after we ate all the pasta. The bison ravioli was good but not mind blowing, however, bison ravioli sounded unique to us so it gets positive points for that. The marinara and Alfredo sauce that coated it was also good, but nothing special. Service here is super friendly and they also have a parking lot in the back. read more

This place has definitely gone downhill :( The service was poor--our waitress came across as rude and made it feel like we were an inconvenience just for being there. I will say the hostess was very friendly and welcoming! The food was just as disappointing. It's not what it used to be at all--the sauce didn't even stick to the pasta, and overall the quality was lacking.

LISTEN!!! You haven't eaten until you've eaten at Angelo's. Brought my momma and all her childhood friends from Tennessee here for one of their birthdays and they still rave about it to this day. The chargrilled oysters are some of the best things I've ever tasted in my life, and the happy hour will always get you right. Back in my 20s I used to belly up to the bar for oysters and wine on tap. Their vibe and quality hasn't changed all these years later. Recently took my daughter here for her first cg oysters, and it was so nice to feel the nostalgia. The entire staff is so delightful. Parking is always trash on cap hill, but it's worth it read more
