    Salmon ravioli
    James V.

    Delightful spot in a popular area, Angelo's Taverna was a pleasant surprise during a recent visiting to the South metro. Attentive service, cooked fresh homemade pasta and bread paired with incredible sauces. Service was fantastic. Definitely worth checking out!

    Happy hour pizza with ham
    Ann K.

    We love coming to Angelo's and bringing friends. We hadn't tried their happy hour menu and wanted to give it a try. We arrived around 4pm and were seated in a booth inside right away. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was already busy with many people inside and the outdoor patio tables had a little bit of a wait. The bar seating also was pretty full. Lively atmosphere overall.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our server was friendly and attentive. She made sure to check in on us after every course was delivered. We ordered a couple items off the happy hour menu - pizza, oysters from Virginia and toasted ravioli. I was surprised only 4 pieces of ravioli came for $7. I guess that's a fair price but not a great deal for happy hour. Oysters were nice and fresh. Pizza was just okay. The tuna crudo was a little heavy on the balsamic sauce. I usually like a lighter flavor but the jalapeños were fresh and spicy. Overall, I probably wouldn't order these items again but I'm glad I tried them and wished I had seen pictures beforehand. I had a glass of the house Albariño white wine which was delicious. It was a nice pour but just okay value for $9 happy hour. Next time I don't think I'd hurry here for their happy hour but I still would come during regular hours. The lasagna bolognese is one of my favorites but I do notice smaller portions and the garlic bread accompanying it. I get the pressure that restaurants are facing but i still appreciate they provide an overall good dining experience and will still support them by returning!

    Pappardelle Bolognese
    Shahan A.

    Arrived on time with a reservation, but they told us we'd have to wait another hour. Pappardelle bolognese was just okay. First of all, there wasn't much meat. Mostly just pasta and sauce. And second, a lot of the [upper] pasta felt uncooked because it wasn't really coated in the sauce. Waitress Ashley was very nice and attentive.

    Toasted Ravioli

    YES. EAT HERE. Angelo's has been one of our go-to's for quite some time and we have never once been disappointed. The late night specials are one of our favorite indulgences; affordable and QUALITY. Megan was our server and she was impeccable. Always on top of it, super friendly, great at her job. This is one of our favorite oyster spots, especially during their happy hours when they're only $1.25 a pop. Both raw and cooked are phenomenal! I highly recommend the Gorgonzola bacon oysters. Chef's kiss. We ordered 14 raw oysters, 6 cooked, 2 orders of toasted raviolis, Caesar salad, 8" pepperoni pizza, meatball sandwich, and 2 diet cokes. Both of us were perfectly full and the bill was under $80. Insane! Will forever be a fan.

    Fun - packed place. The weather was still comfortable so we chose an outdoor table for the 8 of us. The place was bustling the entire night - some patrons just there for wine tastings and others like us for dinner. For as busy as it was there was not a long wait for our food. Everyone enjoyed what they had, from French Onion Soup to Mussels to various Salads. The same can be said for the entrees which for the most part were Pastas. As it got dark, we were treated to a full moon as a backdrop and various fire pits were lit. I don't know how busy they are during the week but definitely get reservations for the weekend. Fun place to check out.

    Roasted Beet Salad with salmon add-on
    Rika M.

    On a hot early summer day in mid-June (well Father's Day to be exact), dining at Angelo's Taverna was so fitting. This eatery conjoined with Carboy Winery, for those who are avid wine drinkers can appreciate this restaurant even when they are with beer drinkers as Angelo's has got a good selection of beer(s) as well. After walking in the nearby trail along the Platte River for a good 20-30 minutes, my BF and I were ready for a nice meal that would be accompanied by great drinks. At a glance, the restaurant looked busy and yet once we were inside (as we opted for the air-conditioned inside seating), we realized that the place had plenty of seatings left. Upon checking in with the receptionist, we were sat at one of the 2-person tables that has a great view of the patio area. Our wonderful waiter is/was Jeff K. His warm demeanor coupled with his kind and welcoming words made us feel that we were in good hands for the lunch occasion. He went with the Smoked Salmon Mezzaluna and I went with the Roasted Beet Salad with Salmon add-on. Our drinks were the Avalanche for him and the Sauvignon Blanc (tap) for me. His Smoked Salmon Mezzaluna - Excellent pasta dish. The pasta (kind of like ravioli) has smoked salmon paste inside it. The cream sauce bottom had a nice contrast color from the pasta (orangy color). It wasn't just the creamy white and the orangy pasta. There is a noticeable amount of spinach to make the whole dish so colorful. The taste? It entertained his/mine palates. My Roasted Beet Salad with grilled Salmon - This is also a solid dish. Plenty of arugula leaves are the bottom/base of the whole plate. The beet pieces are everywhere. The wall nuts and a little sprinkle of goat cheese (?) colorfully painted the whole dish. My BF and I simply couldn't think of anything negative about our today's lunch experience. Glad that we came here.

    This place was disappointing! Usually all my reviews are positive, but we were really let down by the food quality at this restaurant. We arrived at 7pm and waited 1 hour for a table on a Friday night. We were expecting the food to be excellent, but really were left unimpressed. Our waiter was amazing and attentive. The ceaser salad was overwhelmingly garlicky, a flavor I've never even considered in a ceaser salad. My salmon & risotto dish was overpowered with pesto, you would have to be a huge pesto fan to enjoy it. My fiancé did not care for his pasta dish either. We were expecting higher quality food for the price.

    Mussels

    Fabulous staff they really take care of their customers. Excellent food! If you go you must try the lamb pops! Mussels are great too! Scrumptious deserts too!

    Grilled Salmon Risotto
    Jocelynn K.

    We visited again this weekend and had a great experience! It was busy due to a private party in the banquet room, but the food came out very quickly and we were seated almost immediately (we called ahead and got on the priority seating list, which I would recommend). The special oyster of the day was shrimp scampi, which was delicious. It didn't have any shrimp on it, so I was confused by the name, but it had a very flavorful, garlicky pesto and a creamy sauce. The salmon risotto was cooked perfectly this time. We also enjoyed the lobster gnocchi and the pappardelle bolognese. This was our first time trying the bolognese, and it was great. Not too rich or creamy, with a generous amount of carrots and ground meat (sausage or meatball). Overall, this was a great visit!

    Oysters are a Happy Hour specialty!

    Food was creative, I was so pleasantly surprised to find this place. Good energy good people really appreciated having Lexi as my waitress. She was kind, knew the menu and gave me a great first timer experience!

    I would like to take tray of Eggplant Parmigiana to a friend who is vegetarian. It needs to feed about 6 people. I don't want individual portions. Is it possible to get this?

Inside was cozy and clean, though it was loud with plenty of fellow diners having boisterous conversations. The appetizer of fried seafood was incredible, and the best thing we ate there. Perfectly fried, lightly dusted to give a crisp outside, while the inside was juicy and tender. Outstanding, and something we will always order when we come here. Salad was also outstanding. We ordered the salad with their namesake, and every component was perfect in the composition. Perfectly dressed too. I had a Nero d'avola wine by the glass, and it was delicious. Quite dark and jammy, so it was fun. For the mains, we got the fish special, squid ink seafood pasta, and the pappardelle ragu. The fish special had wonderful sauce, but the fish itself was a little like it was previously frozen for a long time. Dry in a sense. Overall an alright dish. Squid ink seafood pasta was a little disappointing. Seafood was okay, but did not wow us. Now that many sushi restaurants in town are upping the seafood game in town, I suppose my expectations have risen despite being in a landlocked state. The pappardelle ragu was nice. Somewhat basic sauce, but it is done well. Next time, I will order their signature pasta dish. Apparently it's a homemade family recipe. Last, but not least, dessert. We got tiramisu and panna cotta. The tiramisu was not our favorite. Out of dozens of tiramisu in denver, we only liked 1. And this was not it. But I would say this is above average for denver. Lady fingers were not soaked enough, the cream felt a bit stiff, and i just wanted I to be a bit more of a gooey mess. The panna cotta was excellent. A bit much on the fruit topping, which we didn't care for, but we loved the panna cotta underneath. Overall a very pleasant experience. We are looking forward to our next visit and trying other items on their menu, like their pizza and their meat special.

I have been visiting…read moreColore since my son was performing in band and orchestra concerts at DU, about 10-15 years now. It is not near my home, so I look for reasons to visit. My latest no-brainer excuse is to indulge in a nice meal prior to concerts from at Swallow Hill Music Center, located across the street from Colore. Last night was one of these nights. Quite the date night for me and my husband--a full meal at Colore and a Face Vocal Band concert at Swallow Hill! Colore has all the traditional American-Italian favorites, including lasagne and other creative pasta dishes (is the pasta homemade? I'm not sure, but it's yum!), chicken parm/picatta/marsala/saltimbocca, steak, fish, it is all very high quality and creative cooking. Pizza and calzones are also available. The prices are incredibly reasonable. Don't forget to glance at the cocktail menu, where they've tailored cocktails to include amaro, Campari, aperol,and limoncello to delicious result. Try the Italian Greyhound with Boulder Spirits gin and aperol, the Black Manhattan with Stranahan's whiskey and amaro, or the Italian margarita with Campari. And the wine list is reasonable, too, with a few high end Italian choices by the bottle, and many options by the glass to keep your budget down for the evening. And sangria? Yes, please! The desserts all have a nice Italian twist, as well. Cannoli, Tiramisu, gelato, and other indulgences. My FAVORITE THING? The garlic knots that come out with every meal, along with olive oil and balsamic for dipping. These are just heavenly, yeasty, soft, unforgettable. There is also always a special or two which we have found to be perhaps the most exciting and delicious on the menu. Last night, my husband ordered the salmon special. This piece of wonderful salmon was stuffed with lump blue crab and spinach, and had a white sauce with fennel and I forget what else, which was simply heaven. It was placed on a dollop of polenta. He ate every last bite. I opted for the vegetable lasagne, which didn't disappoint. A three-inch cube of lasagne, covered in their homemade marinara, with all the veggies--spinach, broccoli, artichoke, mushroom, zucchini. And of course, the requisite ricotta and mozzarella/parm layers. When we were sufficiently stuffed, we decided to share a dessert. Given the nice spring weather, we were drawn to the carrot cake with pineapple, walnuts, and berries, and a scoop of pistachio gelato. This carrot cake was a little two-layer individual round tower; they layer filled with pineapple sweetness and topped with a walnut cream. Strawberries and whip on the side made it feel healthy (lol). The pistachio gelato was the perfect accompaniment (we always need ice cream, right?), with little crunchy pistachios mixed in, as one would hope it would have. Our server was bubbly, very nice, and efficient. It was a great meal. I should also mention that they have takeout. How great would that be to have in your neighborhood? I noticed when I went online to make reservations, that Colore has just opened a Littleton location. I would like to submit a request--next location opening--Downtown Golden! That's my town, and I would love to have Colore take-out every week. And date night even more often. If no luck with getting a location in Golden, I will continue to keep my eye out for Face Vocal Band concerts at Swallow Hill, so that I have a great excuse to make my way down to South Broadway for a wonderful meal at Colore.

The Italian margarita also had a strong rosemary flavor that was interesting and different with the sweetness of the margarita flavors. The martini was excellent too. The montepulciano wine was a bit dry but totally drinkable. The saporita pizza didn't come with cheese, which we thought was just... standard on pizza? If the sauce and the crust weren't so stellar, it would have been an issue, as it was it was fine but worth noting. It looks like we could have added cheese had we asked.
