Pappardelle bolognese
Emma C.

Pretty good spot, seems to be a locals favorite but I thought it was nothing to write home about. Would return for happy hour deals as it is nearby only. I have been in Denver for years and have heard people rave about this spot, and living close to the Capitol Hill location I finally checked it out. It was good, but I did not think it was anything special at all. The happy hour deals on wine and oysters are good, but the food is just not anything I thought about even the next day. We got the suck my kiss pizza, the fried ravioli, Cesar salad, the bolognese and some of the baked oysters. The bolognese was the best thing in my opinion- aside from the wine!!

Angelo's Bruschetta
Meya B.

This is such a cute place and has amazing ratings so I was excited to try this spot. The staff were very nice too! This review has nothing to do with the service or the ambiance (which were both great!) Bruschetta: it was just very wet but had good flavor and was probably the tastiest bite of the lunch. Not what I expected but not bad. 7/10 Marinara Pasta: very sour and just not special at all, it was kind of like Olive Garden but their noodles were at least al dente not mush so that's good. 6/10 Margherita Pizza: This was just bad. The crust was terrible and so were the toppings. 2/10 Bad soda too but the tap water was decent! I'm just disappointed being the reviews were so high, it's cute but honestly not worth the food for the cuteness lol.

Angelo's has a great happy hour menu. It was a lot of fun to mix and match oysters, with small bites like toasted ravioli, caesar salad, crab cake sliders, and drinks. I also love a restaurant with nooks and crannies for a fun, intimate ambiance. The service was friendly and efficient. I'll definitely be back at Angelo's, but where it lacks a little is the flavor. Everything we had was good, but just kinda flat. I also ordered the chicken parm pasta to go and it was very basic, not bad, a bit bland.

Toasted Ravioli
Joseph R.

During the trip to Denver, we did our best to try out all types of food. Italian was one of the last on our "To Eat" list, and I had to rely on Yelp for recommendations. This establishment seems to be more of a local favorite, so we definitely had to give it a shot. Parking sucked. We had to park in a neighborhood, but who am I to complain? We got to see Racoons and their 3 baby's peeking out of the water drainage...but I digress. ha! Upon arriving, there were a lot of people already inside. Fortunately, we were seated right away. There was a decent amount of seating, both indoor and outdoor. The decor had a dive bar / 80's restaurant vibe. The food: Toasted Ravioli - 4.5 / 5 - Worth it. Very crisp outside with delicious cheese inside French Onion Soup - 5 / 5 - I make it a priority to try out the french onion soup whenever it is offered. This ranks VERY HIGH up there when compared to other establishments. Very flavorful. The serving is very large so you might want to make it a priority to eat it all ASAP while it is warm. I eat rather slow so the last few bites did feel a bit of a chore (mainly because my Calzone arrived by then). Calzone 4.5 / 5: So good! Especially for the price point. Their servings are legit on the generous side - I could not for the life of me finish it all after the appetizer + french onion soup. Panna Cotta - 4 / 5 - Very good - It might have been just because I was stuffed that the desert didn't stand out for me as much as it did for the rest of our party. We were all very satisfied with our random visit to this establishment. The service was great despite how busy it was. That actually stood out to me - much appreciated! Yet another spot I will plan to visit when I come back to Denver. Thanks Angelo's!

Oysters
Taylor C.

They have a great happy hour, our drinks were tasty and they had a lot of food options on hh.

Alfredo
Courtney F.

This place rocks. Awesome shaded patio, friendly service, and great food. They are fairly flexible about ordering which is nice if you need customizations, I built my own pasta and got creamy pesto, which tasted amazing. I will always go back to this place, it's a classic.

Stephen M.

Came here for my brother's birthday about 20 of us. The hostess was very nice excellent service and willing to help in anyway that we need to the atmosphere of the environment was very nice clean and delicate in every way. We ordered some oysters and some Beretta and some other food as well and everything was magnificent! Definitely won't be coming back here in would recommend as well.

Lamb Chops the kale was a perfect combo
Christel L.

Absolutely the best place to find Oysters! Chargrilled parm was so delicious! This place is very reasonable in price! Hands down one of the best restaurants in Denver area! Must try out!

Sarah W.

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.

Calamari Argo dolce
Diana V.

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.

Caesar Salad
Victoria K.

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.

Chargrilled oysters . Special oyster, two chipotle.
Kai D.

Angelo's was absolutely phenomenal tonight. Every bite was amazing. I was really impressed with the chipotle, char grilled oysters. Super flavorful the perfect amount of sweetness and spice together was excellent. The ribs were very tasty. I thought they were a little bit one dimensional in terms of the sauce, carried them very tasty and sticky though. I was very impressed with the pasta. It came out piping hot , was super creamy and Rich and flavorful. I definitely will go there again and maybe try the Bolognese with the vodka next time. I was also very impressed with the Caesar salad. They make their Caesar dressing in-house and it's packed with flavor maybe one of the best Caesar dressings I've ever had.

Madison G.

Katy was great on the phone when I called to ask some questions, oysters were delicious, wine on tap was yummy, service was great! Happy hour is the time to come! It was busy but the wait wasn't longer than 20.

The pizza looked nice and had a good flavor. The dough was well made and fresh. The only downside was that it felt a bit light on toppings.

Absolutely Exceptional…read more Jack's on Pearl exceeded every expectation. As Texas transplants, we've enjoyed some incredible steakhouses over the years and have traveled extensively, but this was truly one of the best dining experiences we've had. We even drove up from Colorado Springs for our 18th wedding anniversary, and it was worth every mile. We started with the wedge salad, which was fresh, crisp, and packed with flavor--easily one of the best wedge salads we've ever had. The warm bread service was incredible and paired perfectly with the house-made spreads. The mac and cheese was rich, creamy, and absolutely unforgettable. The highlight of the evening was the Wagyu steak topped with cheesy potato croquettes. It was cooked to perfection and so tender it practically melted in your mouth. Every bite was packed with incredible flavor and was one of those dishes you continue talking about long after the meal is over. What impressed us most was that every single item we ordered was exceptional. The quality of the ingredients, attention to detail, presentation, atmosphere, and service were all top-notch. After reading some of the reviews beforehand, we weren't sure what to expect. In our experience, this restaurant is incredibly underrated. Our meal, service, and overall experience were outstanding from start to finish. If you're looking for a special dinner, anniversary celebration, or simply one of the best meals you'll have in Colorado, Jack's on Pearl is absolutely worth the visit. We will definitely be back and will be recommending it to friends and family. Thank you to the entire team for making our 18th anniversary so memorable. -- Andrea & Sergio

Our server was pretty clueless about food and drink and had a tendency to disappear. The people who were walking in without reservation were being sat at the same place. Scallops needed to be seared properly and steak should not be douched with salt. Don't waste your money, go somewhere else.

Well-presented and delicious!

We combined this with a glass of white wine and red wine. The meal was absolutely fabulous and we then finished this spectacular meal with sharing a key lime pie. Once again, Malik made this meal even better with his genuine smile, attentiveness and efficiency.

I finally got to try it with my friend, and we had a great experience. The pasta was super flavorful, and the portions were absolutely huge. I loved my gnocchi so much!

Service was very attentive. Our server, Alex, was kind and checked in on us often. The entire staff was so hospitable from the host at the entrance, to the server, to the others who kept checking in to make sure we had a great evening. The ambience was great.

I didn't like my eggplant parmesan very much, had it so much better at basically every other place I've had it, and a shrimp appetizer was sweet, which I don't want my anticipated savory food tasting sweet. Cute spot and they are often very busy on weekends.

Valet parking available as well as meter and further free street parking.

Great dinner at Toro Latin Kitchen with a large group, and everyone left happy…read more We started with the sweet corn empanadas, the clear highlight of the apps, sweet, warm, and perfectly crisp on the outside. Beef tartare was close behind, finely diced and well-seasoned. The guacamole was fresh and chunky, the prawns had a nice char, and the Amarillo ceviche brought a bright, citrusy heat from the aji amarillo peppers that balanced beautifully against the cool, tender fish. But the real highlight of the night was the steaks. My skirt steak was cooked perfectly, well-charred outside and tender inside, paired with the potatoes three ways, crispy, creamy, and roasted, each with its own texture and seasoning. Even better was the tomahawk ribeye, flambéed tableside in mezcal, a great bit of theater with a smoky, slightly sweet flame that infused the meat. I got lucky enough to try a bite. Rich, buttery, and delicious with heavy rosemary. A real treat. Service was a bit spotty for our group. I won't go into details, but our server disappeared for long stretches and it took a long time to finally get our entrees. This was likely because of our specific server.

My lobster roll was quite delicious, and the price was good/average…read more It was $45 for the larger Bar Harbor lobster roll combo, including a Diet Coke and potato chips. This is a boring casual place in Denver. So I took the food to go and ate outside on a bench - a beautiful afternoon - and I went across the street and picked up two cans of white wine at Whole Foods

Well, this is a mixed review as some of my visit was good, some not so good…read more I saw this on my Yelp app shortly after I arrived in Denver, and while lobster is my favorite food, I am always a bit dubious to eating lobster in a beef eating place like Colorado! Still, it sounded great and I made my way there with a coworker on my last day in Denver. We walked in and there was no one there, but it was past lunch. It was bright and looked like other lobster roll restaurants I have been to in Boston. We looked at the menu and both ordered the same thing- a hot Connecticut Roll with a side cup of Clam Chowder. We sat down and waited as the 2 staff prepared our food, and while we the only ones in there, every table was dirty, so we hesitatingly sat down at the cleanest one and waited. A few minutes later, they brought our food out to us, but we had to ask her to clean the table, which she quickly got a bottle of spray and a towel and wiped our table down. I dove into the Clam Chowder and was immediately disappointed- it was barely even warm, thin, watery and without flavor. I tried to spice it up with salt, pepper and hot sauce to no avail. Now, the lobster roll was a different story- bun toasted perfectly, the lobster meat layered inside with hot butter, I took a bite and was in heaven. The roll was good, so that saved the day- I would not order the chowder again, though. I sent to the bathroom to wash my hands and was immediately hit with the stench of sewer, so that was a real turnoff. This could be a 5 star place if they fixed the simple things. I would only come back here to get a lobster roll to go.
