Always love this place. Excellent happy hour, good service. I am a big oyster fan and was skeptical in Colorado, but they're always on point, fresh and delicious. The chargrilled ones are also terrific. 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

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

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

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

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

Angelo’s Taverna - Butternut Squash ravioli - Italian Near Me - Denver, Colorado

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

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

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

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. Between the poor service and subpar food, it was a very disappointing experience. read more

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

Denver's finest place to be! Food is great, Service is like invited at friend's house.

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 Taverna - Menu Jan 2026 - Italian Near Me - Denver, Colorado

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

Great food and service. The wait was also minimal. Parking is limited..............................................

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

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

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

Excellent service - amazing food and the location is great. We go there every time we are in Denver.

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.

We didn't think about making reservations on a Monday night and had to wait for a table, but it was well worth the wait! Both the service and the food were excellent. We'll definitely be returning, but with reservations the next time. Highly recommend read more

Angelo's Taverna was great! On weekdays, until 3pm, they offer lunch specials, which are a pretty good deal! I got a sandwich and a salad for a pretty good price. The lunch pizzas come with a salad, but you can also order pizzas (or other dishes) off the regular menu as well. We all got our own dishes, but were able to taste a little bit of everything because of how big the portions were. There is a small parking lot in the back of the restaurant, but it was quite full when we went, so be prepared to spend some time looking for parking. Our server was very nice and was patient with us as we were still deciding what we wanted. The restaurant itself seemed a little small inside, but the seating was split up on different sides of the bar, so maybe one side is just smaller than the other. read more

Solid Denver staple, great happy hour and a large bar. Love their chargrilled oysters, mussels, pizza and excellent pasta dishes. Enjoyed their salmon and risotto recently.

I can't believe I wanted to write this review about one of my favorite places but I have to say something in hopes that they may improve. We arrived for a very late lunch on Saturday, maybe 2:45, we were seated in the new room off the patio. I ordered my favorite Pasta Bolognes. Well ​This "Bolognese" comes out the color of carrot soup on a fluorescent-lit Tuesday--a bright, almost artificial orange that suggests tomatoes once lived here, but have long since been replaced by something far more mysterious. It's the kind of hue you'd expect from Chef Boyardee himself: cheerfully unnatural, unapologetically canned, and glowing with a soft radioactive optimism. No as for the texture, oh my... Soft. Very soft. Almost too soft. The sauce has the smooth, uniform consistency of a purée that has never met a chunk it didn't immediately defeat. Any "meat" present has been reduced to tiny, ambiguous flecks--more of a suggestion than an ingredient. It clings to the pasta like a warm hug from a distant relative you don't quite remember. After several minutes of devouring the well cooked pasta I did to my surprise discover a bit of meat that would cover a nickel. The taste, well it's Luke this, Sweet, tangy, and unmistakably processed. Imagine a whisper of ground beef surrounded by tomato sweetness, softened vegetables, and that unique signature flavor of "I came from a can." The dish carries a comforting nostalgia--the kind that reminds you of microwave dinners, childhood afternoons, and knowing deep down that true Italian chefs would weep if they saw it. It's not authentic. It's not rustic. But it's absolutely Chef Boyardee: soft, orange, nearly meatless, Just as we were about to dsh off to an appointment I over heard the table next to ours ordering a side of sausage to go with his Pasta Bolognase he had just ordered. The waitress said to the patron, sir the Bolognase is a heart meat sauce. I nodded to the table and uttered I would get those sausages and a side of meat balls as well. Hey the service was good and informative, guessing she had not ordered the Bolognase in a while because I mistook it for a hearty meat sauce as well, just not that day!​ read more
