Some solid Italian food! The olive garden martini is what brought me in and I was not disappointed, so yummy! We sat away from the main dining area and found it super cozy, great for a date night! I did wish our entrees were more spaced out from the appetizers though, they got a bit cold while we finished everything. read more

We definitely got too much food!!! But everything was so good. It was happy hour, so of course we ordered a half dozen $1.25 each raw oysters. They were fresh and some of the best we've had in Colorado. We also had a crab cake slider, the sauce and arugula complimented the thick crab cake perfectly. I just wish I could get a whole plate! We then ordered the burrata (the pink salt on top was a nice touch) all the dips accompanying it were great, the olive tapenade was my favorite, it was smooth and salty. I had to try the mushroom gnocchi salad as well... the fried gnocchis were just okay but the rest of the salad was delicious and a massive portion. I should've taken some of that truffle dressing to go. I will be thinking of that dressing every night for the rest of my life. The pappardelle bolognese was tasty a nice smokey flavor. Nice and rich. I ordered the white bean soup for my daughter (15 months old) she loved every bite!!! I really wanted to take pictures cause every plate looked as good as they tasted, but that's why I just decided to dig in. My only regret was not having a little house made limoncello after dinner. All the more reason to come back! All of the staff were super friendly and professional. When I don't have my baby with me, I'd love to sit at the beautiful bar inside. read more

The tiramisu is an absolute must-have! Each time I go the service is incredible. The wait time is unfortunate BUT it is worth it, always. Highly recommend their chile relleno ravioli, good goodness, it's delicious! Wonder staff, attentive, and good vibes there! read more

Definitely a great casual Italian restaurant with delicious food and great staff. Because we had an hour wait to get a table, we sat at the bar by the kitchen area. We were able to see the kitchen preparing food and the bartenders making drinks. They have a good wine selection and the margarita they made for us was delicious with fresh squeezed lime (no mixer). For dinner I ordered the Higher Ground pizza and it was delicious - definitely more than one person could eat. Others at the table had the Vodka Penne which they all raved about. Throughout our time at the bar and at our table, the staff was great with suggestions and checking in on us. read more

Food is really good. The ambiance is that of an old Italian restaurant. Great spot to take the family, as they can accommodate large parties. read more

Simply don't understand the rating, food is not good. Servers were friendly and it had a neighborhood vibe and must have a loyal local following but the quality of the food product is below average. read more

One of the best spots around Denver for oysters and Italian!! My friends and I love the ambience of this spot too. All the employees are super attentive and the morale is very high here. 100 stars. read more

Mariah was the best waitress out of the whole entire restaurant. She was attentive, aware of everything around and she served us with a smile. We would only go back for Mariah + the food. Please try this fantastic place for oysters read more

Excellent experience! Food great, service outstanding, and a true family place. Highly recommend making reservations!

As someone who has made numerous French onion soups myself, I had high hopes--but this experience was a major letdown. The manager, instead of resolving the issue professionally, seemed to take my complaint personally. When I raised concerns about the soup, he shrugged it off by saying, "It shouldn't be on our takeout menu." Frankly, that's not an excuse--it's an admission of failure. If something isn't suited for takeout, it shouldn't be offered in the first place. Per his request, I walked to the back of the restaurant where he had me open the container and show the "chef". Inside was a lukewarm broth with strands of shredded cheese floating around. No melt, no depth--just a sad, soupy mess. He insisted that this was what I should expect when ordering French onion soup to-go. To avoid "causing a scene," he had a kitchen staff member bring out a hastily thrown-together replacement, which wasn't any better. Hoping the rest of the order would redeem the experience, I got home and opened a pizza topped with feta--only to find a laughable scattering of cheese covering a mere one- to two-inch radius in the mid. (Photo attached for proof.) The menu sounded promising, but the execution was a disaster. I'll give it one more shot in person to see if this was just an off night--but I left deeply disappointed by the food, the takeout system, and the lack of accountability. read more

Angelo’s Taverna - Italian Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Good location to have a light meal. The menu is well diversified and all that we tested was fresh. The service was a little bit slow on the rush hour, but the staff remained friendly and attentive. Adored the grilled salmon, which was tender and just right. All in all, a good option to have a good evening out. read more

I visited Angelo's 4 years ago on a trip to Denver and had a great time. So when I came back to Denver, I was determined to go back. First off the service here was amazing! I came back to have the mushroom and eggplant pizza and the chargrilled oysters which were surprisingly good for a land locked state. This time again both of these items were great! We wanted to try out a few more dishes so I ordered the Crab Cake Slider, the Chile Relleno Ravioli, and the Calamari. Unfortunately the new dishes were not as flavorful as the first we'd tried. Because the crab cake was breaded and deep fried, the breading overwhelmed the flavor of the crab. The crab also had a softer, mushier texture compared to if they had added a pan fried crab cake. The Chile Relleno Ravioli was recommended as a special but I didn't taste more than the average cheese ravioli. The peppers didn't lend much flavor to the dish. Speaking of peppers, looking at the description for the Calamari and seeing all the different peppers made me think it would have a little spice to the dish. Instead I found the dish to be overly sweet and the breading on the calamari, potentially semolina, to leave a gritty texture in my mouth. Overall I'd come back again for the pizza and skip on the rest of the items. read more

Incredible!! One thing I have noticed here is that, aside from being delicious, the pizza is also loaded!! When I take leftovers home, the box is so heavy! Great value. They do not skimp on toppings. I'm a huge fan of the mussels and house wine, too. Enjoy!! read more

If you love muscles they have mollusk Monday $7 for a plate that will fill you up with the side of garlic bread for the service and the food is always great and now that it's warmer out they've opened up the windows that face sticks Avenue which I'm not a real fan of because what you're doing is just inhaling exhaust fumes but it's a nice ambiance read more

Angelo’s Taverna - Open window view from bar - Italian Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Checked out Angelo's taverna with a friend the other day for an early dinner. The restaurant was quite busy with about a 30 minute wait. There was plenty of seating in the waiting area. We ordered the chargrilled oysters which seems to be the star at Angelo's. They were absolutely tasty, served with garlic butter toast. We also had their penne ala vodka with sausage which was also great. Their limoncello is vapor distilled in-house and has quite the punch! I highly recommend it if you're in to that kind of thing. Great little spot to have a nice meal and some great conversation. Our server, Tommy, was absolutely fantastic. It made our dining experience memorable and infinitely better! Bravo! read more

Everywhere I go I'm searching for a delicious Eggplant Parm, and suffice to say I've had Angelo's twice in the span of a week.

The vibes on here were great, the service was amazing, and the food was good! I'm giving 4/5 stars because my two complaints would be the wine selection wasn't great, all the reds tasted pretty acidic to me and I had tasters of 5. Also my pasta was a bit clumped together under the sauce where I would just eat bundles of noodles stuck together into a little brick which wasn't great. Other than that the flavors were amazing and again the service and vibes were awesome so we would probably come back again. read more

This was my first time at Angelo's. We got a table for happy hour with 3 minutes to spare and ordered the crab cake sliders and oysters. I am not a fan of shellfish or mollusks but the chargrilled oyster blew me away! It was buttery and garlicky. The space is small but the tables are nice. There's also seating at the bar. We waited over 30 minutes to be seated. It was definitely full on a Friday night! read more

We've been going to Angelo's for over 30 years. Need I say more? Great food, great service, great location. Just go and enjoy yourself.

Highly recommend!!! I'm visiting from out of town and was recommended Angelo's. Very impressed with how friendly the staff was and how delicious the food was! I went for happy hour around 4:30ish and had a pleasant table to myself and really enjoyed the atmosphere not too loud and was checked on multiple times. I also asked my waitress for recommendations on what else I should see in Denver for my short visit and very grateful for her wonderful recs! Next time I'm in town I will be stopping in again. read more

Angelo’s Taverna - Happy hour fresh oysters - Italian Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Oh la la! Fantastic Italian food in a sweet location. They do have parking in the back if you're lucky enough to snag a spot. Otherwise, it's street parking. I liked the open window vibe and the rustic feel of the restaurant. It's not awfully big, so a reservation might be required on certain days and times of the week. The music was vibey and at just the right volume. The service was probably my least favorite of the experience. Our waiter was pretty cut and dry and the food took a little longer than expected. Penne Vodka with Burrata. De-licious! I would come back here over and over just for this. There was a plethora of sauce and it was so creamy and perfect. The burrata was extra good and smooth. read more

Everything was amazing and continues to be. We have been going to Angelo's for over 10 years. It's always amazing food and even better lemonchello and desserts!! You won't be disappointed at all! read more

The food was delicious! I came here with a large group and called ahead two weeks ago to make sure we'd have a table. We waited at the bar and ended up being seated at 7:40 for a 7:00 pm res. The hostess also seemed annoyed each time I asked. Also I walked to the bathroom and completely misunderstood the directions and walked into a back area and immediately walked back and one of the other servers was very rude about it when it was simply an accident. The food and the server we were assigned was fantastic. It was such a bummer and I would definitely recommend this spot for a small group of 2-4 or meeting a friend for happy hour. But if you have a big group I'd definitely recommend a spot that takes reservations. read more

We had take out from Angelos...and it was fine. The pizzas were thicker than I like ( a tad doughy) but okay quality. The family sized Cesar was insanely large and actually good. I think the pro yelp call is to eat here when it is fresh and hot....plus the vibe here is really great ( if you can get a table). read more

This place was ok I didn't have a mind blowing positive experience but I also didn't have a negative experience either. The service was just okay, I sat down and was given my water which I chugged almost immediately but then I sat with an empty water for majority of my meal until a another worker came by and saw that my glass was empty and refilled it. However, I was seated in a small room so I could very easily see my server as she refilled and checked on other customers but not me. The food was solid. The chargrilled oysters were definitely my favorite they were large and seasoned and cooked very well. The vodka penne and Brussels sprouts were both good but needed salt and pepper. The raw oysters were fresh but small especially in comparison to the grilled oysters. Once again, I didn't have a bad experience but I also didn't have a great one. Not totally sure that I'll be back read more

I had reservations with a group on a Thursday night at 5:30 and the place was absolutely packed! There was no room to even sit at the bar, so I'm glad we had reservations. It's awesome that they let you do happy hour in the dining room because a lot of places don't. Our service was very good. While the food was good, we all just said it was good and not great. I would for sure come back, but it also wasn't necessarily a stand out. read more

Myself and my wife were seated in a classic booth between two church like windows. I loved the ambience. Perfectly hidden from the chatter of the bar and close enough to have a nice date. The Bacon Gorgonzola Oyster is beautiful & fabulous. As well as the Apache Rose Peacock Pizza $22.00/12"$28.00/16": prosciutto, arugula, roasted mushrooms, fresh mozzarella, truffle oil, white sauce. Ridiculously cheesy and perfectly balanced with truffle and arugula. Great leftovers too. Me and my wife love this restaurant. read more

Always amazing. Appetizers are delicious, try every mussel flavor, they're all fantastic. The burrata is 10/10. We tried a variety of pasta dishes. Not pictured was the green chili ravioli. All delicious and filling. Will 100% go back to try more. read more

5/5 best mussels and pollo angelito - great atmosphere - lemo chello was great - always love coming here when we visit

I don't even know where to start with Angelo's Tavern. The service was painfully slow! When the food finally arrived, it was cold, bland, and honestly felt like it had been microwaved straight out of a freezer box. WhenI told the server he seemed uninterested! The staff seemed uninterested at best and downright rude at worst, acting like we were a burden for even asking for salt and pepper. The drinks not bad! Yes, I was charged .50 cents for 3 red onions! Ned time just say there's a charge! Denver has so many great places to eat and grab a drink -- this is absolutely not one of them. Save yourself the disappointment and go literally anywhere! read more

This cute little gem of a place married old world Italian cuisine with vibrant colored limoncello walls & equally cheerful crowd. We enjoyed our dinner so very much. As an Italian American I consider myself a pretty good judge of pasta, sauce & all things in between. Food quality was outstanding, large portions, super tasty freshly baked breads, generous portions, the most beautiful Pinot Grigio (I need the name please). Veronika was our server she was such a pro, service was impeccable as were her fellow servers. Clearly everybody was working as a team more like a family. Locals obviously know Angelo's value, the happy hour bar was packed. Thank you for an outstanding time. Cheers to a wonderful evening ala Angelo's Taverna. read more

Good Italian spot near my house. They have good deals for happy hour and lunch specials as well.

I had been here before years ago and thought I would try again. Appetizers Grilled oysters were good and had three different ones all good. We had the glazed ribs tasted good but were dry. I had the lamb shank it was well done and was lacking in flavor and the grits were not done. My wife had the lasagna and was disappointed. My Brother and mother had the shrimp tagliatelle and said the dish really had no flavor. As busy as the place was I'm guessing its us. Service was great. I mentioned this to a friend who goes there and he said they only go for appetizers because they find the same as we did the dishes lack in flavor. Once again there were so many people there it makes us wonder what we were missing. read more

I love Angelo's. I love their food, love the atmosphere and love the staff. I have never had any issues with anyone or any thing that I have ordered. The balsamic ribs are one of my favorite items to get after watching the kitchen make a ton of them at the bar one day. I finally tried their pizza for the first time on this specific dining experience and it was really good too. Very cheesy. The happy hour is amazing and it is daily, so you can also go on the weekends. $1 oysters are worth it alone. Thomas was our server this time and he was great! Great, fun attitude and constantly checking on us to see if we needed new drinks, more food, etc. Overall fantastic experience as usual. read more

I love love love Angelo's! It was my boyfriend and I's second time visiting and it honestly just exceeds our expectations every time. Now first, before I begin ranting about my love for Angelo's, I want to list the reason I gave it 4 stars as opposed to 5. When we entered the restaurant I was standing in front of the hostess stand for about 7 seconds. I let the silence linger a bit because I was waiting for them to say hello, as expected when you enter any restaurant or business. There were two girls at the hostess stand, one of them was grabbing the menus but the other girl was this blonde wearing a white shirt and blue jeans and she was just leaning on the hostess stand staring at us. Personally I think any hostess or employee should be welcoming when they see a customer walking in, I say this as someone who has worked in a service position before. So I let the silence linger for a bit because I thought maybe they'd say hello but no I had to say it first. Again the blonde just kept staring, not a smile nor a greeting and I think that's just poor manners in my opinion. I suppose you don't have to say hi, but your mother should've taught you to not just stare. The other hostess who sat us down made up for the lack of greeting considering she did ask us how our day was and if we had been in before while walking us to our seat. In our previous experiences at Angelo's, everybody's been quite kind so maybe it was just a bad day for the blonde hostess. Anyways, while the beginning of our visit rubbed me the wrong way a bit, the rest of the visit was fantastic! Our waiter, I forgot her name but she had short grayish curly hair, provided top tier service. The place was very clean and service was great from everybody else, 10/10. Now the important part, besides service, we got quite the selection of food. We got a few things off of their happy hour menu (which is everyday from 3-6 and not just the weekdays like most places do) and a few other menu items. These included the meatball slider (really liked how the bread was toasty), the arancini ('twas good but not life changing, still yummy though), a Caesar salad (was yummy but it almost had either too much garlic or too much pepper because it was kind of spicy in a weird way), the cheese raviolis with alfredo sauce, the suck my kiss pizza and chicken parm. Upon reflection, my top 3 favorite dishes, that I advise you to try, are the cheese raviolis with alfredo (so so so yummy), the chicken parm and my all time favorite, the suck my kiss pizza. Gosh that pizza is so good and I genuinely recommend to anyone who likes a good salty and sweet mix in their pizza. Overall, Angelo's is so very yummy and I encourage you to visit. We will definitely be back in :) read more
