Angelo’s Taverna

Good restaurant, great deal on Oyster after 9 PM, it’s a dollar each. The pasta was okay, little bit watery on the sauce. Will give it another chance at anther time.

Literally my absolute favorite date night ever. We will wait over an hour just to sit at the bar because it’s so fun. We have been doing this on the regular now so we have a whole system. I scope out a spot and make friends with the people sitting there, makes for an easy and smooth transition.
We always get west coast oysters followed by an amazing pizza. And it’s amazing every single time!
My fiancé recently asked where I wanted to eat for my birthday and my reply was simply «I want to sit at the bar at Angelo’s».
Fancy seafood places got nothing on these guys.

I’ve been excited to try this place for a while and was happy that my co-​workers agreed on this place for happy hour. They were very accommodating for our larger party. We were without a server for a while, but Jay swooped in to save us! He was super friendly and attentive.
For food, I had a grilled oyster, a raw oyster, a sausage slider, and the toasted ravioli. My favorite was the sausage slider. I was impressed by how delicate the sausage was in the slider. The toasted ravioli were also fantastic with a nice mix of rich, creamy cheese and crispy goodness. I liked both of the oysters, but they were slightly less exciting than I imagined. Both were however very fresh tasting.
For drinks, I tried their Pinot Grigio on tap and an O’Dell’s Lupulin Pale Ale. The Pale Ale was fine. I felt their wine was a bit flat tasting.
Overall, I had a good experience and recommend them for happy hour. They have lots of options for everyone including the kiddos!

I went to Angelo’s for the first time last night and was totally blown away… by the service! Our waiter, Brian, went above and beyond the entire night. He was friendly, attentive, made great recommendations and ultimately made our experience 5 stars. Oh yeah — the food was great, too! Faves included chargrilled oysters (bacon & gorgonzola with arugula pesto = yum) and Hump de Bump pizza. Thanks for a great meal, Brian!

We stopped in meaning to really give this place a shot but after ordering the calamari my husband’s friend called wanting us to meet them at a different spot.
Greeted at the door, seated at a booth by the bar. Laid back, cool atmosphere. Server was nice and quick to get us our appetizer. After our first bite we were really sad we weren’t staying! Next time we’re in Denver, next time…

Great restaurant!
Simple, not too expensive, and just right.
Service was outstanding throughout our visit.
A member of our party was accidentally served an eggplant Parmesan rather than a chicken Parmesan (they do look pretty similar with the melted cheese) and despite informing them that it wasn’t necessary to replace her dish, they made her the chicken parm to-​go and did not charge for either.
The pizza flatbread that they serve as an appetizer was outstanding (it has some pesto on it, among others).
The Kitchen Sink pizza with sausage and pepperoni was great as well, and makes for great leftovers if the dish isn’t shared.
Risotto, pasta, and pizza dishes eaten by other members of our party were all appreciated and devoured.
Unfortunately, they were out of key lime pie to my great chagrin.
I ordered the peanut butter dessert and was disappointed. It wasn’t a standout and a Reese’s would of tasted better. Neither the peanut butter nor chocolate were flavorful.
The tiramisu and brownie, on the other hand, both tasted amazing.
And this comes from a self-​professed tiramisu snob that refuses to order tiramisu in North America due to its gratuitous and widespread misinterpretation.
A solid bet for a date, night out with friends, or dinner with the parents.

I really like this place. Pizzas ae fantastic. Great happy hour options

Review of the HappyHour — I’ve not done a review on Unilocal for a long time, but this time I gotta write a few words about a great time we had last night at Angelo’s. Found out about them through a friend and was attracted by the $ 1 oyster (raw) and $ 2 chargrilled oyster during Happy Hour. They have two HH and we visited the late one (9 — Close). Let me tell you, the oysters were fantastic. The raw ones were the smaller kind (expected for $ 1 a piece), the chargrilled ones were much bigger and it tasted incredible. There were multiple styles you can choose from. Bacon Gorgonzola was my favorite. Strong flavors from the cheese and the bacon, but you can still taste the freshness of the oyster. For $ 2 a piece, what a steal. They have $ 2 sliders as well, I thought they were extremely good.
The service was TOP NOTCH! We had around 14 people and they accommodated us in the nice area in the back of the restaurant. (Kind of cool to walk thru the courtyard and get to the other part of the restaurant). Our waitress was super friendly and the complimentary calamari appetizer and Tiramisu for the birthday/​engagement celebration were super awesome. We are definitely going back, highly recommended for HappyHour, Large Party and a great food for low cost

Our service was amazing. The atmosphere itself is really laid back on a Monday afternoon for their 3−6p happy hour. The staff were superb and generous! We good randomly booked up with extra grilled oysters *score! * Our server Jessica was super sweet, genuine, and accommodating.
The food itself was «A» star. Clam linguini is a one a week thing so we took advantage and ordered that. Soooo many clams in a dish, all great to share.

Oysters
Fried Oysters
Char-​grilled Oysters
ALL OF THE OYSTERS
My experience at Angelo’s was not a smidgen (it’s a word, look it up) less than five stars. We went with a group and were able to try a bit of everything, from oysters to ravioli to calzones. They dish some interesting combos that might initially seem odd, but they work so well. Chorizo and char-​grilled oysters? Yum. Chile Relleno Ravioli? Way better than you could even imagine. My husband tried the calzone, which was perfectly baked and full of magic. The Buratta appetizer was everyone’s favorite at the table, though. It’s made in house and I can’t think of any other word than perfect to describe it.
Our service was also on point during our visit, especially with a party of six. They had no problem splitting the check and accommodating our many requests for additional orders. Moreover, for everything we ordered our bill was rather reasonable. I don’t often give out five stars, but Angelo’s absolutely deserves it.

This place rocks! An Italian place that serves oysters? In house made pasta?
Six happy and content customers had so much fun almost three weeks ago.
I knew before going to Angelo’s that I am going to give their Fried Oysters a try. I had a dozen of their half shell oysters and half a dozen of their fried Oysters ($ 4/​each). I’d definitely go for these again.
The rest of the group tried different dishes that we shared. There was the Chili Relleno Ravioli, cheese bread appetizer, half chicken, calzone, burrata, spinach manicotti and eggplant Parmesan. I like them all! The in house made burrata stood above the rest I think.
For dessert we ordered everything they had on the menu: key lime pie, tiramisu and chocolate ravioli dessert. We shared them all and I think my favorite is hands down the tiramisu. It’s creamy. My type!
I had the One Lincoln Park cocktail. You want a boozy drink? Get this. It’s Goslings dark rum, Don Q coconut rum, fruit lab organic hibiscus liqueur, fruit lab organic ginger liqueur, iced tea and lemon. This made my Creepers list. It will get you. But in the ninja sorta way. Slowly, silently but you will be happy, happy!

I love this place. The cheese raviolis are amazing, the salads are fresh (spinach and house salads), the cheesy garlic bread with marinara is a great appetizer to start dinner.
The servers, hostess, and owner are welcoming and efficient. My family and I were here tonight and the owner was making sure everyone was having a nice time. He even gave us a calamari to try on the house.
TIPS: Call ahead to put your name on the wait list. There is also a small parking lot, but it is easier to take a Lyft or taxi. Great for meat eaters or vegetarians lots of options. Nice bar and drink selection.

First off, I’m so glad I came here to celebrate a special someone’s b-​day. The food was just perfect. The fried risotto and baked ravioli were a great choice to start off our evening at Angelo’s. The charbroiled chipotle and lobster oysters were delicious, the pasta with marinara since was good. For desert, we had the chocolate ravioli and tiramisu.
It was a great dinner and the place had a romantic setting. The service was great, the only issue I had was that we were sat in a big table instead of a smaller one that was fit for two people and our server took her time to take our order when we first got there.
Overall, I will come back to try something different on the menu when I’m back in town.

Not too many places get five stars in my book. But Angelo’s is consistently great. We have now tried almost all their pastas. One of my favorites we sampled last night, the buffalo ravioli. This is excellent and I think it will probably be my go to entrée, besides the chicken parm. They make everything from scratch including their pastas, and you can most definitely tell the difference.
Like most restaurants we have a few times where service has not been great, but it has never been so bad that we wouldn’t return.
Last night we decided on «to-​go» and they quoted is 20 minutes and sure enough it was still hot when we got home.
Another major plus. They’re open til 12 Wednesday through Saturday, they do switch over to a limited late night menu, but of course the food still rocks.

Hands down one of the best personalized pizzas I’ve had in Denver. Repeatedly.
Absolutely no surprise this place has lasted for over 40 years.
It is a great local with exceptional food and good service. I’ve been here several times and never had a bad experience. Whether you’re looking for a date night or a party of 6 with kids your needs will be met. There’s a nice bar area for pre dinner drinks in the front and overall the entire place maintains an intimate feel to it. I haven’t had anything here I wouldn’t recommend so just go for it!
–No reservations accepted so timing is everything
–Handicap friendly.
–Street parking (in a busy area so keep that in mind).

Che bello! Fantastic food, amazing atmosphere, welcoming staff, and decent drinks make Angelo’s Taverna an excellent place for a group gathering.
Our rambunctious party of 6 ordered quite the smörgåsbord. Obviously, we started with drinks. The One Lincoln Park was okay – it tasted watered down but had quite the punch in the end. The Life on Mars was refreshing and delicious; it was the clear winner of the group. I had a classic gin martini (extra dirty). It had good flavor, although I wished the waiter had taken my request for ‘extra dirty’ a little more seriously.
The appetizers were seriously great, with the Burrata being a group favorite. You absolutely MUST try this. The garlic bread w/​marinara (and cheese) was great as well. Angelo’s is generous with their cheese, making me an instant fan.
I was also impressed with the food. The Chile Relleno Ravioli is a unique offering, but comes together well and has a great flavor. If you’re feeling adventurous (or not in the mood for traditional Italian) opt for this. I also enjoyed the Eggplant Parmesan. It was cooked well, drenched in cheese, and excellently breaded. In addition to trying everyone else’s food, I did order my own dish as well. Ironically, it was my least favorite of the options I tried. The Spinach Manicotti is excellent on first taste, but looses it’s luster the more you eat. The flavors are stable and seemingly uninspired. It should have had more sauce or more cheese. Luckily I had some extra burrata to make me feel better.
We ordered desserts as well (I know, I may as well be a blimp). The Tiramisu was a favorite, although I found it a little dry (but I like mine SUPER moist). I actually enjoyed the Key Lime Pie as well (and I don’t even like Key Lime Pie)– but it was too small for the price. The Chocolate Ravioli was my least favorite of the items we tried. They were just too crispy and hard to eat. Sure, it’s unique… but I’d recommend sticking to the classics.
All-​in-​all we had a great time at Angelo’s. Our party of 6 was completely satisfied and happy when we left and that’s the mark of a good restaurant. Catering to many different palates and dietary needs is difficult and our group went in with fairly high expectations. Kudos to Angelo’s for meeting (and in some regards, exceeding) our expectations. I’m sure we’ll be back.

Excellent place! We had a group dinner there on a Friday night and the experience was top notch.
They are doing some really interesting things with the food here… it’s a mix of Seafood, Italian, and a bit of New Mexico/​Mexican flare (Chile Relleno Ravioli??? Chorizo Oysters??? WHAAAAT???). I tried both of those dishes and they were both amazing by the way.
We ordered several different plates and were able to try a lot of the menu. The Calzone was amazing, as were all of the varieties of chargrilled oysters. On the appetizer side of the house, the garlic cheesy bread and the burrata were the standouts… and please for the love of god get the burrata — it is AMAZING. There is a lot of punctuation and capital letters in this review, and for good reason; I am still excited about it.
Service was friendly and attentive, and we weren’t left wanting for anything throughout the meal. We finished our dinner with three different desserts (key lime pie, tiramisu, and chocolate ravioli) and coffee. Honestly, the desserts were just OK, but I may have been stuffed from the incredible meal.
Go here, you won’t regret it.

Best birthday dinner ever ever ever.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Angelo’s Taverna. My last visit was my favorite restaurant experience in a long time, and every aspect of our meal was phenomenal from start to finish.
The atmosphere is the perfect mix of casual, cozy, and impressive. You don’t feel like you have to dress up, but you know you’re gonna get quality food and service. Our waitress was the sweetest and she knew the menu backwards and forwards, including information on food allergies.
We happily ordered tons of oysters… this is an oyster house, so duh. They’ll explain to you exactly where each oyster comes from (range of prices and locations). Their speciality is grilled oysters — don’t miss out on these. They’re incredible! They have so many different types of butters you can adorn them with, but my favorite was «the original:» butter, garlic, pecorino, and fresh herbs. OH MY GOD. I could eat 7 857 384 573 987 of them.
We also ordered oysters on the half shell, oyster sliders, grilled lamb lollipops, mushroom risotto with pork osso buco, lobster gnocchi, gorgonzola steak fettucine, and shrimp fra diavlo. I couldn’t eat all those things because I’m GF, but I can tell you everyone at our tables absolutely loved their food.
Fantastic wine menu and cocktail as well, and reaaallly affordable prices. We saw our check and were like, «what? This is amazing!» I want to feel like that all the time, so I’m totally going back often.

Get the Burrata. Whatever you do, get the Burrata.
Italian food is normally not the top of my list. I usually find it uninspired and heavy for no reason. The food here, however, really surprises the taste buds and reminds me how comforting Italian food can be.
We went with a group to try this place and had an all around blast. Our server was helpful and friendly and the atmosphere was trendy and lively.
As always with a new Italian place I had to try the Eggplant Parmigiana. Tasty tasty! The breading was delicious with rosemary flavor, the slices were thin and well cooked, and the serving size was more than adequate.
By far the best part of the evening was the Burrata appetizer. Maybe you remember me mentioning that at the beginning? It deserves multiple mentions. Perfectly toasted bread with creamy Burrata and olive, tomato, balsamic, and pesto toppings. So simple. So amazing. Order this.
We also tried three desserts: tiramisu, key lime pie, and chocolate ravioli. The tiramisu won my vote. Nice and moist and very well flavored. The key lime had a good taste but was a little on the small side and not quite as tart. The chocolate ravioli was rich and served with raspberry sauce and ice cream. I didn’t love these little ravioli, they seemed weirdly crispy.
Overall, a great experience. I will definitely return.

One of the best Italian restaurants I’ve been to and there’s even New Orlean’s style chargrilled oysters with *different flavors* so even better than NOLA! For 7 people, we decided to eat get a chargrilled oyster and shared:
**Butternut squash ravioli — best ravioli I’ve had. They don’t skimp out on the butternut squash filling! Tip: Not vegetarian — there’s bacon bits on top!
**lobster gnocchi — highly recommend! The sauce isn’t too creamy and there is a good ratio of lobster to gnocchi.
Higher ground pizza — average. I recommend sticking with the pasta dishes.
Pappardelle Bolognese — recommended by our waiter. The noodles and sauce are homemade!
**Balsamic glazed ribs — these were on the house! Such a pleasant surprise and they were AMAZING! The sauce is slightly sweet because of the balsamic and the meat literally falls off the bone. SO GOOD.
Really happy with the service. We originally made reservations for a part of 7 at 7:30pm but easily changed it to 5:45 so we could make happy hour!
I’ll definitely return when I come back to Denver! :)

Wow this place is fantastic! I love the aesthetics of the outside extra room. Cool exposed wood and iron. We started with wine and for 6 $ it was a great glass of wine. The friend oysters are amazing, they have a kick to them! Then we got the mushroom salad and built a pizza and both were fantastic. The prices are reasonable and the waitresses and waiters were attentive.
A great meal, we will be back!

So glad that I found another one of Denver’s hidden gems! My twin sister insisted we come here for our birthday and I’m so happy that she did! Angelo’s accommodated 10 of us last night and had us seated right in the center of the restaurant. The restaurant isn’t big, but it’s not small. It’s perfectly cozy and felt like a romantic, rustic, true Italian joint. They also had a standing wall full of mason jars (couldn’t tell what was inside of the jars) but it was a unique and noticeable décor.
A few of us started with the Italian salad (which feeds about 4 people). As well as the Toasted Ravioli, Garlic Bread (with melted cheese), and some oysters. Salad was crisp and fresh! The Toasted Ravioli was perfectly crunchy, with melted cheese and marinara for dipping. But oooh my gosh, the Garlic Bread was some of the BEST I’ve ever had! And I’ve eaten a lot of garlic bread in my time! Get it with the melted cheese on top. It was crunchy and cheesy and just simply addicting. I also loved their marinara for dipping! Great taste and wasn’t watered down at all. Perfectly thick and had great italian seasoning in it.
Most of us had their HOMEMADE pasta dishes for dinner and their portions are pretty big! They also serve a piece of their amazing garlic bread with each pasta dish. I had their Pappardelle Bolognese. The noodles were perfectly cooked in a creamy sauce. Very hearty and filling!
Then, the owner came to our table, wished my twin sister and I happy birthday, and poured limoncello shots for us all! He even took one too!
Loved the energy at Angelo’s, and having the owner come take birthday shots with us was a lot of fun! The food is fresh, homemade, and you can tell they use quality ingredients! Our server Vinny was also very friendly and attentive. Will absolutely come back!

Angelo’s is the happy hour meeting place for «The Birthday Ladies» (our birthdays are September, October, and November). We always meet on Mollusk Monday and always have the same thing. I have a dozen oysters for $ 12.00, the other two have Mussels in wine sauce ($ 5) and a Caesar salad ($ 4). We once added Toasted ravioli ($ 5) to the selection. I always order a bourbon and ginger ($ 3.00) and they order white wine ($ 2). I did order a ($ 1) Peroni once when it was the beer special. We now meet once a month to catch up but our birthdays are our favorite as we get a complimentary tiramisu.
Probably boring to most but we love catching up and knowing that what we order will always be just as we expected and always served by a friendly wait staff.
