What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Angelo's Taverna is a popular spot known for its fantastic happy hour oysters and delicious Italian fare, including handmade pastas and pizzas. While the food and attentive service generally impress, diners often note that the lively atmosphere can get quite loud, making conversation difficult. Some also find the prices a bit high for the portion sizes, though many agree the quality justifies the cost.
"The family and I had a great experience at Angelo's! Everyone seemed to enjoy their food. Their pizzas sounded amazing so I insisted on one (I forgot what it was called) and it was so good. The drinks are really good as well. I really want to go back (soon I hope) and make my way through the rest of the menu!"

"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."

"The BEST happy hour featuring raw house oysters of the day for $1.25 each! Seriously cannot beat that. Blue Island Oyster Bar has each Oyster for some $4 during happy hour so Angelo's definitely blows them out of the water. The wine here comes from Carboy Winery, which is on the same lot as Angelo's. You can get wine refills here! We had the shrimp tagliatelle, lasagna, and lobster gnocchi. The lobster gnocchi had a bit more tomato taste than I'd like but it was still delicious. Each entrée seems to come with a slice of toasted garlic bread, which is great to soak up the juices! There's pine nuts in the shrimp tagliatelle and I LOVE pine nuts! I wanted to spend more time here butttttt guess that's just another reason to come back! I had the House red wine which was sweet. I didn't not like it since I love dry red wines but it was still delicious! There is outdoor seating it was nice watching the sunset while we ate. Very nice atmosphere.
Update 12/23 - Still the BEST place for happy hour oysters!! Cannot beat the price and taste here!"

The 33 Best Restaurants in Littleton
After revitalizing Angelo’s Taverna on 6th Avenue in 2013, Craig Jones and Eric Hyatt (who now owns Grande Station) brought the 40-year Denver institution to Littleton three years later. The team built a 10,000-square-foot compound off Santa Fe Drive to house the restaurant and then-brand-new Carboy Winery directly adjacent. Boasting one of Denver’s best happy hours, Angelo’s offers $1.25 raw oysters daily from 3 to 6 p.m.
