On Sunday, September 25, Westword's DISH, our annual celebration of the Denver dining scene, returns for its 22nd year. The festival of food will take over Sculpture Park at the Denver Performing Arts Complex, where dozens of local restaurants will offer samples of their best dishes, including succulent seafood from a neighborhood favorite.
Angelo's Taverna has been slinging pasta and pizzas on East Sixth Avenue since 1974, but in 2013 the Italian eatery was reimagined. Classic recipes remained, but new ideas freshened up the menu — including oysters served both raw and char-grilled. On Sunday, Angelo's will be grilling tasty shellfish with a variety of toppings: arugula pesto with bacon and Gorgonzola; original with garlic butter, pecorino and herbs; and chipotle-bourbon butter.
