Angelo's Taverna - Littleton

Absolute favorite Italian spot in Colorado now. I had raw and charbroiled oysters for an appetizer, Lobster Gnocchi for dinner and Crème Brûlée for dessert. Everything was so delicious! Their prices are very reasonable for quality Italian too. I can’t wait to come back and try more dishes!

I spent a week in Denver for work. This was the only meal I had that was worth mentioning. Our server Ashley went above and beyond. Susie the manager was awesome. So hospitable, being from the south it was nice to feel welcome. The lobster gnocchi was so damn good. I could have also eaten 30lbs of their meatballs. Go see them, they deserve your business. If I’m ever back in town, I know where I will be eating. Sincerely thank you

The food was amazing! We ordered the smoke salmon mezzaluna and the Gorgonzola steak fettuccini! I can’t recall the drink but I believe it was some sort of grapefruit cocktail or mimosa but it was also very delicious. It’s simply lit with gives it a very intimate feel. I highly recommend this place!

We’ve been here a few times for Happy Hour and have really enjoyed it! The oysters, both raw and baked, are so fresh and decadent. The pizzas have unique flavors. The calamari was also delicious - our 12 month old loved it, too. We are lucky our little one will eat adult foods (cut to size) because they don’t carry a children’s menu. The manager always comes by to check in, the food comes out quickly, and the atmosphere is fun. We always call ahead to get our name on the priority list.

Flew in from Las Vegas and was hungry. We found this place and liked the reviews. I must say, from food, to service it was top notch. Thank you all for great service and fun conversations.

We love this place. The food is delicious! We got an NA espresso martini and a buffalo sour this time both were delicious! Tried my first cannoli I’ve fallen in love. Ella helped me pick everything out and I will be back again for sure!

I thought this place was tasty, and loved that they let us stay until about the last minute since we rolled up an hour before closing. Everything was tasty, though I thought the pizza was yummier than the Buffalo ravioli. I hope to come back!

Took the wife here for our 5th anniversary. We have been here before and have always enjoyed the selection of cocktails and the menu. This time, we wanted to change it up and try a mocktail that was made with non alcohol tequila. It was refreshing, had the slight tequila taste and balance with the other flavors. We ordered 12 char grilled oysters, 6 were original, and 6 were the special. The oysters were cooked perfectly, were juicy and flavorful. Next, we had the seafood tower. This consisted of raw oysters, shrimp tuna pole, and scallops. All of these items were presented nicely and were delicious. For the main course, my wife had the lobster gnocchi, and I had the lamb shanks. Both meals were cooked perfectly, and the portions were very adequate. Dessert did not disappoint as well. My wife had the tirramissu, and I had the creme brulee. The service the entire time was quick. The waitress was very attentive.

Angelo's Taverna continues to be one of my favorites. Everything on the menu is delicious, but sitting at the bar for happy hour is my go-to. The chargrilled oysters, a salad, and a glass of wine are always a must for HH. I hadn't been in for several months until last night, and while there was a very uncomfortable situation with another guest, the way it was handled truly stood out. The bartender, H, and the manager, M, immediately recognized what was happening and stepped in quickly, handling it with professionalism, grace, and care. Experiences like that matter, and it reinforced why I enjoy coming here. The service is consistently top-notch, and the staff genuinely looks out for their guests. I'll absolutely continue to recommend and return.

I do recommend Angelo's--but you need to navigate the menu carefully because the food was wildly inconsistent. Happy Hour here is extremely popular, and for good reason. The charbroiled oysters are solid, and the raw oysters were fresh and flavorful. That said, the shucking needs work--it was tough to get clean bites without the occasional shell shard. My son's Bolognese was fantastic--and I don't throw that word around casually. The sauce was bursting with flavor, and the pasta was cooked perfectly. The toasted ravioli also impressed. Now for the misses. The French onion soup was flat-out inedible. It tasted like premixed powder--grainy and lifeless. I'm not someone who sends food back and can usually power through just about anything, but this was the rare exception. The pizza was equally underwhelming. Even the Guinness somehow disappointed, which feels like a tough thing to mess up. What saves this place? The atmosphere is fantastic--fire pits outside, vineyards nearby, and a lively, welcoming energy. Our server was top-notch and elevated the entire experience. Bottom line: worth a visit for the ambiance and standout dishes, but order strategically. There are gems here--you just have to avoid the landmines.

Came here for lunch on a Sunday at 11am. No wait at all, all tables open. I got the papardelle bolognese. Noodles were handmade. Entire dish was amazing. So was the garlic bread. Partner got the chicken parmesan. It was meh. Like what you'd get at an italian takeout. Not what you'd expect from Angelo's!

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.

Had a lunch here and we were seated immediately. Beautiful day and the patio was packed so we opted for a table inside. Ordered chargrilled oysters and original which came with legit garlic bread. Our cups never went empty even with an arnie-palmy. Ordered the shrimp taglietelle and pretty hate machine and both were great. Would come here again and try even more of their good looking menu.

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!

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.

Loved the vibe at this restaurant ！！The pasta was amazing, and we ended our third date on the sweetest note with crème brûlée. Perfect ending!

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.

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.

Ridiculously busy. You must do the call ahead seating. Service is generally good except the hostesses seem overwhelmed. Food always very good.

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!

They apparently don't use the yelp online wait list. It said less than 5 minutes, drive all the way here and it's over an hour wait. The hostess was nice about it though.

Did a togo order of the kitchen sink pizza and the caesar salad. Pizza was great! Salad was just okay (would pass next time). Interior of the restaurant looked very nice and service interactions were friendly.

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!

Went for happy hour with my coworkers and really enjoyed the menu! Oysters were so good, both cooked and raw! Ordered their mushroom and pepperoni pizza which we loved! Our server was awesome, she was attentive, friendly and gave us great suggestions. The restaurant was packed, but we got seated quickly. The restaurant was clean and well kept. I will definitely consider another visit when in the area!

Angelo's continues to be one of our favorites. The Chargrilled Oysters are very good and a nice touch to start the meal. So far the dishes we have tried do not disappoint. Very busy and nice to enjoy a glass of wine next door while waiting for a table.

Everyone always loves what they order - there are so many options so everyone is happy.

It only took 8 years to finally try Angelo's Taverna in Littleton out, but so glad we did! We knew by the crowd on a Monday evening that this place was a winner. We put our name in for a table, but got seats at the bar. So excited to see they had a Burrata appetizer. We enjoy this in Las Vegas, but haven't seen a lot of it in the Denver area. From the delicious cocktails to Carboy wine to fabulous pasta, what a great experience. Our bartenders/servers Hersha and Conlan were very attentive. The manager, Mersadies, was so friendly and took the time to introduce herself and talk about the history and growth of the location. Sad it took so long to visit, but happy to have found such a delightful new place for great cocktails, wine, and food!

One of my favorite places in all of Denver! Better late than never. Came here few years back and just loved it: forgot to write a review but I remember the delicious food, igloo dining tents. And their grilled oysters. They were delicious! Grilled oysters.s very tasty. I love my oysters raw but these were worth a trip or 3. Yellow tail thing. It was the ponzu. Burrata was great. The homemade sauces ( pesto being the richest) were great too. And their pastas! My favorite was bolognese with papardelle. Limoncello was a great end to it all. Food was definitely worth returning a few times for. Maybe I'll be back

From the moment I called this restaurant to make a reservation, made me feel like I were their most important customer. Management and all staff were attentive and personable. Everyone worked seamlessly as a team. I could tell they were all commited to providing us with an unforgettable experience, with the food quality and service. The restaurant had a very cool vibe and overall great ambiance. The restaurant was full with happy customers. Please just go and experience it for yourself

The pizza. Calzone and salads were very tasty. Beer was cold and they have a great variety. Server. Also asst mgr , did a great job making us feel welcome. We will be going back.

Decided to give the Littleton location a try for the first time after having visited the 6th street location in the past. I love that there is a much easier parking situation here and that Car Boy is attached. It was a really nice, warm evening and things were buzzing with customers sitting outside and many parents playing with children in the green area. Walking in, I was greeted quickly and taken to a spot outside where tables are spaced apart with ample room for movement in and out. Ordered a glass of wine and couldn't pass up the Chile Relleno Ravioli because Chile Relleno's are one of my favorite things ever and it was chile season after all! This dish is made with red chile, red and blue corn pasta, pepperjack cheese, chiles, cream & Parmesan. The plating was perfectly done and enhanced just how good it looked; I couldn't wait to dig in and dig in I did! Amazingly good option - everything comes together so well for a creamy, savory, slightly spicy experience. I am obsessed with the raviolis with the cheese and chile stuffing. And this was a big serving too- at least for me - I brought half of it home with me and enjoyed the leftovers just as much as when I first had them served to me. I'll definitely come back to this location for the overall experience, it is so pleasant when you can find parking easily, have two venues that you enjoy in the same spot, plenty of open seating outside with room to move giving it a more upscale feel, and then the menu with diverse, unique options from the appetizer menu, to the Chile Relleno Ravioli and the Mushroom Agnolotti and options for non-meat eaters and carnivores both as well as pizza and calzones, salads, and desserts. Plus - a good wine and drink menu and a 2nd happy hour that starts at 8:30 - close for those nights you want to stop in later.

I visited Angelo's Littleton on Saturday afternoon (9/27/2025) and my experience became distasteful at the end of the meal by the visit of a male manager checking on our experience. We were a table of three women, and we were addressed as girls. He asked if us girls had a good meal. There were no children at the table, only three adult women. It was demeaning. I am a 45 year old woman and I haven't been called a girl since I was a girl. This was very unprofessional and for the type of establishment shouldn't be happening. I want all management to know that this type of behavior is not professional and shouldn't be occurring. If that is how management addresses women, how does staff who are women get treated by management? Like little girls? I am leaning at this time to never go to Angelos again. I am very disappointed because I have been going to Angelos for years and enjoy the food. The place will be missed, but my money needs to go to entablements I am treated like an adult. I emailed Angelo's on 9/28/2025 and did not hear back. I am very disappointed.

Great food for the price! The ambiance is big and spacious, with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Despite the size and room I would expect a wait- this place is popular!! You can call in and get "preferred seating" which gets you in before walk ins at the time but is not reserved. Overall the food quality and ambiance are great, especailly for the price. The place was slammed and our service was just ok. We sat inside and it was hot where we had dinner. All things considered, I can see why it's so popular- Great food/ ambiance at affordable prices. I'll be back, 100% recommended!

Have to update this review based on our recent trip to Angelo's because of the most amazing service from Mikayla! She was so kind, helpful and attentive the entire time and it was busyyyy!! The food was really good this time, got a tasty pizza and house wine. But Mikayla stole the show and we will be back more often because of her perfect service!

Stopped by early on a Monday and greatly enjoyed the Pappardelle Bolognese! Thank you Tara for the great service!

I was excited to try Angelo's since I heard great things from many people. It was a very warm day but, we sat outside on the patio because we were in full "embrace summer" mode. There were three of us. We ordered the strawberry aperol spritz to drink, it was a nice twist on a classic. We got the burrata app for the table. I only had a small bit of it since, I wanted to save room for the Mushroom Gnoochi Salad and Chargrilled Oysters. I am always a bit hesitant to order seafood in Colorado, a land locked state. But, I saw the rave reviews about the oysters so, I decided to go for it. The food was delicious but, the aftermath of consuming foot from Angelo's was not ideal. I ended up close to the bathroom for 5 hours later that day due to something I consumed here. I thought it was the oysters since I was the only one of the three of us that got sick at first but, then my friends told me she got sick later that evening and she also had the Mushroom Gnoochi Salad. All I know is I won't be back!

Have always had a great experience at Angelo's! If you can, try to book a reservation because i guarantee you'll always end up waiting 45 mins. I've never sat down at the restaurant, only at the bar because of it. But by goodness the food makes up for it. There's a reason there's always a waitlist.

Awesome food and service. Sat at the bar grabbed grilled half shell oysters. Killer. I had the cheese and bison ravioli $19.50. Super tasty not heavy, slightly sweet sauce and decent sized portions. Had a couple of old fashioned's with a local bourbon. Nice tasty a bit sweet but still a nice sized pour. Cool place shares building with local winery. Has lots of outdoor dining area.

Delightful evening! Popped in here for a quick dinner on a weeknight. I was super impressed by their expansive menu. So many options that I just asked the waitress for her recommendations got both and they were phenomenal. Can't wait to come back and try their wine. It was a little loud in there so probably will not bring my elderly parents, but a really fun and nice atmosphere.

I love Italian restaurants and this is definitely going to be one of my go-to restaurants here in Denver. I'm so glad I stumbled upon this place because it's magnificent! The restaurant is beautiful! They have a bar and a bunch of seating all around the restaurant. We sat in the back in a different room. Great date night pick. The service was amazing. This was my first time so the server helped us out big time. The bruschetta was delicious. So flavorful and my boyfriend hates eating tomatoes and he helped me with this appetizer. He loved it as much as I did. I ordered the pizza, build your own and I got mushrooms, Italian sausage and arugula. It was soo yummy, and I had leftovers which I'm a big fan of. I can't wait to come back and conquer the rest of this menu. It was a 10/10 for me! I'm going to spread the word about this restaurant to everyone I know!

Had a reservation for 5:30 to take advantage of the happy hour that went to 6. Arrived at 5:25 and was told to wait. After standing for 30 minutes (no seating available) we were told that they weren't sure when we would be seated. Also told that they couldn't honor happy hour since we wouldn't be seated by then. What a great way to run a business...

Top notch wait staff and delicious food! Love the atmosphere! Easy to call and make reservations, too.

We recently went to Angelo's. The lady that sat us remembered my name when I went to the bathroom and when we left. I thought that was amazing. The food was great! The only negative was that I'm getting old and both my husband and I had a hard time hearing.

It was a little confusing. The gps said we were there but I only saw a Carboy Winery sign. Angelo's sign was not easy to see but we did find it. The staff was friendly and the food was delicious. I had the grilled lamb lollipops and kale salad. Yum! Would happily go back and highly recommend this place.

Food and service are great. Disappointed in the lack of holiday decorations. Still looking for that special place for families during the holidays.

We had a party of 11, I called ahead to be put on the waitlist. Took about 40 minutes to be seated. The restaurant was BUSY. We hung out in the Carboy side and enjoyed some wine. The staff was friendly. The place was VERY loud because of how busy it was. My friends and I shared the mussels and those with the white wine sauce was the highlight of the meal.. it was delicious! We ordered more bread so we could soak up some of the sauce. It was so yummy!! For dinner I ordered the salmon risotto. The salmon was perfect.. the risotto was not. It was not cooked properly and was missing that creaminess that risotto usually has. I also found the tomatoes on top to be weird. My friend, and my husband both had the lobster gnocchi. The sauce and the lobster were delicious but the gnocchi itself was not right. It was chewy and not the fluffy light pillowy texture you usually find with gnocchi. One friend said the steak Gorgonzola was just average. Other friends ordered the calamari as an appetizer and they said it was pretty bad. I've never seen it served vegetables and it was spicy.. so strange. Overall the food was disappointing.

Service was good. Atmosphere good. Pasta vodka was so so. It was more like penne with sauce splashed with some heavy cream. The frutti di mare was good. I would have liked a little more linguine in the dish. Overall-not a bad night out.

We sat outside by the fire pit which was very nice. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. I thought my eggplant parmigiana was tasty, although there were a few bites where I detected a spice or something I didn't especially care for. My husband had the vodka penne, which he didn't care for at all. I'd definitely try it again though- my food was pretty good and he'd try something else next time.

Favorite spot for incredible Italian food in a great setting at very reasonable prices. Lobster gnocchi and the bolognese are craveable, and the chocolate dessert ravioli are so good when hot and fresh, just finish them there (don't really recommend taking them home and trying to reheat; the texture becomes too chewy) Waitstaff always friendly and helpful. My only negative is the garlic bread: it's just ok. When I go to an Italian restaurant and order a glass of wine which I know is heavily upcharged, I want an AMAZING bread basket to start the meal. And restaurant owners please bring back the free bread basket, even if you secretly pass the cost onto my other food items. It just feels warm and welcoming.

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.

Came with a group. Seemed busy but we still got out food fast. Our server was attentive and gave us time to look at the menu. I ordered a calzone and others ordered pasta. We got Brussels sprouts as an appetizer and a salad... would not recommend the Brussels sprouts, they were very oily and not very crispy.

Great service and plenty of food! Love the laid atmosphere and location, close to Aspen Grove.

Love this place. Tonight I can't give 4 stars because my beet salad with arugula had maybe 4 small pieces of beet and 3 pieces of cheese. And the arugula was mushy as if it had been sitting dressed for too long Aside from that- the oysters were amazing. The lamb lollipop great. The papardalle bolognese spot in. They were super busy but our server was cool and calm.

This is a very busy restaurant They aim to please but go early on a weekend or have a reservation. We loved our appetizer and mains. Great wine list. We did have a hiccup on the wine bar side but the manager Justin rectified the situation as soon as he could which will prompt us to go back. It's difficult to decipher if this is one business or two businesses. I will say that the wine jug collection on display above the bar needs dusting.

I love this place! They have best happy hour around. Tonight I was blessed to be served by Lexi L. She is absolutely amazing!!! Every suggestion was spot on. Thank you Lexi for a wonderful experience!

I love this angelos! Same great food as the Denver location, same great service but a much more rustic atmosphere. You can dine or go wine tasting, eat outside or have a cocktail by the fire pits. Fun place! I want to recognize our server LEXI L who is spot on for the recommendations. She was very attentive, sweet and positive. We will be back!

Came here with a few friends for lunch. Loved the location and high ceilings! Nick was a great waiter, very friendly and on top of him game. Massive restaurant with a winery attached and plenty of parking. We order plenty of food and the sea food I would have to say was very impressive! Calamari and the Crudo was my absolute favorite. That could honestly be my main dish it was that satisfying. The mussels were also very flavorful massive portion so I would suggest are a sharing item or your main dish. The penne pasta was a bit disappointing. I did add the burrata on top but unfortunately this dish was lacking in flavor. The chicken was not very seasoned, and it seems like salt or hot pepper flakes were missing. I would skip this item next time, nothing special. Overall, 4.5/5 stars! I was very happy with this meal and look forward to coming back.
