    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    Amazing ambiance, excellent service and exceptional food! Loved the mushroom agnolotti, the sage butter sauce in this was too good. The mushroom gnocchi salad, the truffle sauce in this was amazing. For the drinks, loved the bergamot spritz, so minimalistic and refreshing! Highly recommend this place!

    Happy Hour Pizza with hot honey! You have to try this combo

    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.

    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.

    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.

The concept of it being inside a home is very interesting. The food here is amazing especially their Caesar Salad. That salad was so delicious we wanted to order some to go. Now the reason why this place is getting three stars because 1. The service here is horrible! 15-25 minute wait for our server to come back around and check in on us. It wasn't just us either but it was everyone else in the room. Saw a couple that waited about 25 minutes just to be checked up on after being seated. We also never asked for our bill yet and it was given to us without us asking. We wanted to order more food after our entree. Hence why we never got to order our Caesar salad. 2. This one was the most disappointing part of our dinner. We ordered tiramisu for our dessert, once served I noticed a glossy chunky on it, assuming it was maybe crystallized sugar. Wrong. It was a chunk of ice!! The tiramisu WAS STILL FROZEN!! For 12 bucks I can get some better tiramisu at king soopers, Safeway, or any other restaurant honestly. 3. There was an ant in my drink, and we weren't compensated for that. We paid 4 dollars for an ant drink.

We started with the focaccia (with the ricotta and honey on the side) and it was so tasty. My partner doesn't normally like ricotta, but loved this dish! Then, we had the melon salad (very refreshing). We were celebrating our anniversary, and the staff brought out complimentary glasses of bubbly rosé, as well as their special dish, which were the stuffed squash blossoms. This was a really thoughtful touch! For mains, we ordered the tagliatelle with lobster (this dish had a tiny bit of spice, which was fine for us but might catch someone else off guard), and the lamb loin. Both were excellent. Overall, we had a great time! We found easy street parking nearby, as well. My only downside would be that, because this restaurant is so popular, there are lots of diners, which makes for a pretty loud atmosphere.

No matter what you get here, you will enjoy it. I haven't had a bad dish or drink here. Do not skip out on the Per La Tavola (for the table plates). They are all so good. We normally get the Piatti Di Cicchetti (olives, pickled veggies, and almonds), Piatti Di Salumi (prosciutto, salame, coppa), and the Burrata. They all complement each other SO WELL. Pair that with a white wine and you got yourself a time. The 2 course offering for lunch is also phenomenal. I got the Insalata Mista (lettuce, shallot, reggiano) and it's a decent sized salad and very tasty. The Mafaldine (lamb ragu, pecorino romano) is to die for. Such great flavor and the pasta is always cooked perfectly. The service here is always top-notch too. The staff is very well-trained and is on top of everything. Truly a well-oiled machine. The atmosphere here is impeccable too. You can tell that everything was thought of for a great experience: lighting, table layout, decor, etc. It is a great place to bring a significant other, business customers, etc. I cannot wait for my next visit to Tavernetta and I was just there a few hours ago!

My favorite of the Spuntini dishes was the Granchio--jumbo lump crab served over a crispy potato cake with butternut squash and a perfect 63 ° egg. We split two Primi dishes: their special of the day pasta, and the Cappellini Aglio e Olio. The Cappellini was amazing--a perfect blend of Indian spices, breadcrumbs, and another 63 ° egg. Yum.
