Ge-Angelo’s…locally owned; managed with good ol’ fashioned traditional family values; offering excellent homemade Italian cuisine!

Native Iowans and Ge-Angelo’s owners Ryan and Tina Colburn returned to Ames from Kansas City to fulfill their mutual dream of owning a restaurant, and to raise their family. “We want our children to experience the great opportunities this community provides and be close to our families,” Tina says.

The Colburns have thoughtfully integrated their love of this community into their restaurant. “We encourage families to come and eat with us. We bring out some pizza dough for the kids to play with, and will be more than happy to start the dinner if people call ahead so the kids don’t have to sit for too long,” Tina says.

Ge-Angelo’s can also be an adult-only event of friends, good conversation and great food, or a romantic evening for two by the fireplace.

“We want people to think of us as a come-asyou-are family restaurant, but also feel comfortable dressing up and enjoying an intimate dinner that won’t break the budget,” the couple says.

Come for just the great appetizers, such as the Italian nachos or hot peppers, with an accompanying 18-ounce schooner of Ge-Angelo’s Margarita. Or choose from a wonderful array of Italian favorites (including a nice variety of vegetarian dishes), such as:

• spaghetti (meat-based sauces or fresh tomatoes with garlic & spices)
• lasagna (meat blend with three cheeses or a noodle and veggie mix)
• ravioli (Ryan makes the ravioli dough from scratch)
• eggplant parmesan (one of Tina’s personal favorites)
• pizza (hand-stretched and individually prepared with 100% mozzarella)…just to name a few

It’s also the perfect choice for your next occasion, such as an office gathering, birthday party or a wedding rehearsal, accommodating up to 50 people. Whatever your pleasure, come experience Ge-Angelo’s. Ryan and Tina Colburn will make it an evening to remember!
