Jackson Berry: I completely disagree with the other review! I have been to Angelo's three times and every time I have been VERY satisfied with both the service and the food! AWAY by the food. Try the bolognese!!
Jennifer and Harold: So good! Limoncello spritzer, salmon and risotto, lamp, char grilled oysters and Papardelle Bolognese. And great service.
Michelle Gates: Amazing lobster gnocchi! As an Italian, i grew up on delicious gnocchi, I'm hard pressed to find any I enjoy. This was fantastic. Oysters were the greatest as well. Both in one place is heaven!! :-)

Italian Restaurant · Central Business District · 83 tips and reviews
ᴡᴡᴡ.Bob.pwho.ru Erickson: Best food in downtown Denver! Go for happy hour from 2:30-6:00pm. Try the "Panztini" or "A Perfect Pear" specialty drinks for $5. Plus fantastic tapas for $3 - $5. Best is Pappardelle alla Bolognese.
David Schwartz: Enjoyed a great meal with even better company. Situated in a hotel, the Italian-fare is classic with modern twists. If you like Eggplant try theirs its a standard on a menu that changes seasonally.
Denver Westword: Food is prepared with ingredients from Colorado farms and ranches!

David Tannaccio: Good spaghetti bolognese and salmon club on ciabatta bread
Josiah Moore: This place is amazing!! Excellent food, excellent service, fantastic environment... one of a kind restaurant!! The chefs make this place!!
Bridget T: Ravioli is way too sweet and this is coming from a girl that likes sweet. Wild Boar Ragu was great.
Miles Matthias: This wasn't up our ally. Too loud, too crowded, and definitely not homestyle italian like we thought. Everything appears homestyle but it has a weird twist like carrots in the bolognese sauce.
Bill DAlessandro: Hands down my favorite restaurant (not just italian) in Denver.I have never felt more welcome than I do here. Mike will make you feel welcome as soon as you come in - make yourself at home.
Zhawna: Formerly known as L'Asie.

Holly w: I thought the food was good. Oysters were fresh, not a huge fan of the casino clams, but the meatballs were good and so was the bolognese.
Kate Gilbert: The best Italian food in Denver without a doubt!
DenverPost: The menu covers a lot of ground. The pasta carbonara was an excellent take on that classic, and for dessert, the tiramisu stood out. They've got local beers are on tap and the cocktails are exemplary Read more.

Italian Restaurant · Park Hill · 11 tips and reviews
Louis Baltimore: Maybe the best traditional “red sauce Italian” place in Denver. All the good stuff- parmesan, gnocchi, carbonara etc. Can’t go wrong. Great cheesecake too.
Denver Westword: The Cherry Tomato is a comfortable place with cracked-tile floors and rough brick walls, a bar crowded with locals and a young, eager staff. Read more.
Megan Haeffele: Terrific salads. Really caring servers.
