There is a very positive, warm vibe when you walk into this restaurant. Beautiful decor, nice staff and comfortable seating. We placed our drink orders and proceeded to do a family style dinner. We ordered Salmon and Yellow Fin Crudo, Caesar salad, Cao De Pepe, Filet Steak, Hanger Steak and fried Brussel sprouts. The presentation and quality of the food was amazing. We followed this with several of their incredible desserts. This might have been the best dessert menu I have ever experienced. Service was in the top 10 of all restaurants I have reviewed worldwide. I recommend you book a reservation, this place is a Denver favorite and gets the big crowd they deserve. Great foodservice act all around. Excellent price/value read more

Went here for a friend's bday. The atmosphere was nice and our waiter was friendly. I ordered a Caesar salad and asked to add a protein - the options were shrimp or crab. I chose shrimp. The waiter asked if I wanted them cold or grilled, I said grilled. And asked for dressing on the side. The salad came with the dressing mixed in and 3 (very large) cold shrimp. I didn't complain because I didn't feel the mistakes were big enough to warrant it. But upon seeing the bill, I wish I would have complained. The add-on price of the 3 shrimp that went on my mediocre $19 salad was $23 !!! So I paid over $50 after tax and tip for a meal that came out with two mistakes. They didn't even offer fresh pepper. Very disappointing. read more

It's a beautiful restaurant and service was OK to good. Food was good but it didn't blow my mind, and for $40 per plate of pasta, I wanted my mind blown. People rave about the chicken parm pizza, but let's bear in mind that it's $80. FOR A PIZZA. Between our table, we ordered all of the sides. We all liked the spinach a lot. The waiter told us about the broccoli rabe, "ours is bitter," but I didn't find it particularly bitter; it had a smoky flavor that was a nice complement. The squash was good but forgettable, a few small pieces covered with a lot of toppings. The fries were thick and yummy. The "garlic bread" rolls were nothing special to me -- not exactly dry, but not soft or fluffy when it seemed like that was the goal. I had the black truffle cacio e pepe, and they sprinkled over a generous amount of truffle. The pepper is peppercorns, which was a little much for me. There was so much butter/oil/fat that I ate about half and wound up feeling like I ate a gut bomb -- the leftovers are glued together with fat in my fridge and I don't think I'll want to revisit it. It's Dry January, and they had a beer and three mocktails -- a Phony Negroni and two that sounded like housemade mixtures, one with grapefruit (not compatible with a bunch of meds, including mine) and one that was spicy. Would have loved to see more variety and creativity there. We had a vegan among us, and that threw everyone for a loop. It is Colorado -- I don't understand why any restaurant wouldn't have a basic vegan option that can be tailored. All of the pastas contain egg, so be forewarned. The corn creme brulee was amazing -- maybe with that and a salad I'd go home happy next time? read more

I went with a friend to their Sunday brunch. I was hungover but Devon, our waiter, made sure my champagne glass was full to fill me with hair of the dog Bellinis. We trusted Devon's suggestions and got the meatballs, the burrata, the smoked salmon whipped feta and the breakfast risotto. Finished off the afternoon with an espresso martini. Beautiful flavors in the food. And the place is just gorgeous. Its a wonderful spot to have brunch but we will try again for dinner! I loved EVERY dish. read more

I really wanted to love this place, great atmosphere and the staff took great care of me. I ordered a Caesar salad to start, it was a salad, not a $19 salad... it was good. For my entree I ordered the hanger steak, good portion and it was cooked perfectly. I really love a great steak and what threw me a little off was the flavor they used to sear the steak, to sweet for me, I prefer to taste the meat. It's worth a shot If you want to try something new but there's a lot of great options in the area. read more

Great food. Not very good service. Very loud as well. I likely won't return. Valet was blocked and very inconvenient because you kept a Rolls Royce with a vanity plate that read "Estate" parked in loading space all evening. Is this a parking spot or drop off?? Come on people. This stuff isn't hard. read more

We've been here a few times, it's always lively, great people watching, people are dressed up and the service is good. This time the food was a miss for us. The octopus came out really rubbery, we had them re-fire it, it was better but not great. I've had amazing octopus and this wasn't it. The sides with it were great and it's a good sharing portion. The Paccheri past was terrible, the pieces were huge, the pasta itself was thick and undercooked, it just wasn't well executed. For a place that makes pasta in house this is a shame. The sauce was nice. In Italian dishes the ingredients need to shine and you can't mess up pasta. The veal milanese was our favorite, it was juicy inside, crispy outside and huge portion. We shared it and took part of it home. I'd prefer smaller, well executed dishes rather than big portions that are not great. I remember the pasta in Italy and it just does not compare. We had a good time, and would likely come back, but I may go with crudos and entrees rather than pasta dishes here. read more

I've had Quality Italian bookmarked for years and finally had the chance to enjoy dinner during a stay in Cherry Creek. Let's start with the ambience. The restaurant is beautiful! It's located in the lobby of a hotel, so if you want to use the restroom, you actually have to go into the hotel and to the second floor. The lighting in the restaurant is warm with comfortable seating in a variety of rooms. When you place your reservation, you can choose the area you want to be seated in. It was very busy, so be sure to make a reservation! They do have an open bar area, but it's best to get the full experience. We sat down and were greeted by our server, who was absolutely fabulous! My only regret is not remembering his name because he was such a standout- so attentive, friendly and helpful! We started with drinks. They have a great phony negroni and a good old fashion- perfect whether you're looking for a mocktail or a cocktail. They brought up some parker rolls to start as well as complimentary meatballs. I'm not sure the occasion but it was such a yummy treat! For my entree, I had the Pacherri Amatriciana and my husband had the steak. Both were excellent! The food was so so good. The whole experience was just so incredible! We were celebrating my birthday and we were too full to finish our meal, so instead of bringing out a complimentary dessert, they were thoughtful enough to pack one to go. Seriously, such a great dining experience! Would highly recommend and would absolutely make it a point to go back anytime I'm in town. read more

Good Italian food! Went out for a work dinner and the ricotta appetizer is amazing, highly recommend it if you like ricotta. We also got their lasagna, gnocchi, and crème brûlée. I like Italian food, but I wasn't amazed per se. That being said, the food is good, it was just very filling with just one item. The lasagna isn't your typical lasagna intended for 2 people to share, we split it between 6 of us since there were 5 rolls and it was still a lot of food. As you can tell from the photo, it is a very dimly lit restaurant, but the service was amazing. The servers were attentive, flexible, and had great energy. Overall, a 4.5/5. read more

Quality Italian - Lasagna - Italian Near Me - Denver, Colorado

We had dined at Quality Bistro in New York and was pleased to find there was a restaurant in that family here in Denver. We stopped by on a Saturday for a late brunch and almost every table was open and a few of the bar seats were taken. We opted to sit at the bar. The bartender that helped us was Dylan and he was attentive with refilling waters and drinks when needed. The Yellowtail crudo we started off with was delicious. It was fresh from the lemon and the Thai basil really kicked it up a notch. Next up, I got the Breakfast Risotto and my husband got the Sunday Sausage Roll. The pistachio in the risotto peaked my interest and it was pretty tasty. I normally don't like sausage too much but I went back for many bites of the Sausage Roll. The crispy spinach was also a nice touch. And the potatoes were good too! Quality Italian has a great looking menu and we would definitely come back. I have my eye on the chicken parm pizza for next time and would love to try more of the crudo menu for dinner! read more

My familia has loved Quality for a long time. The service and ambiance are top-notch. Pretty good wine list for a Colorado joint. Loud, like all Italian restaurants seem to be. But, since I'm married to one, I get it. The outside seating is on a good people-watching sidewalk and is usually quieter. The kitchen tweaks the menu occasionally but for the most part the standards stay the same and they are experts at crafting the dishes. To start they bring little cast-iron skillets with the most mouthwatering bread cooked in them. And they will bring more throughout dinner! The Little Gem Caesar salad is incredibly fresh and the dressing has a surprisingly pleasant little kick to it. This was the first time I have had the Black Truffle Cacio e Pepe, and I regret waiting so long. It was delicious, with a healthy dose of freshly-shaved truffle applied at the table. One of my dinner partners had the gluten-free version and she said it was also excellent. Back in my meat-eating days my son, grandson, and I would split the Chicken Parm Pizza. This is almost impossible to describe - you have to try it to believe it. Big enough to share for sure, but if you do have any leftover they'll put it in a take-out pizza box for you to bring home; it reheats perfectly. Didn't have it recently, but the ones on tables around us looked and smelled as good as I remember. Recommended. My wife used to love the cannoli cart, and was disappointed that it is no longer available. But only until they brought out "The Godfather" cannoli. Wow. It starts as a (huge) mostly naked cannoli, but with gelato stuffed into each end. Then the server dresses it at the table with raspberry compote, pistachios, cacao nibs, maraschino cherries and other toppings until it is a dessert to be envied the world over. Just watching him put it together was entertainment. And, man, was it delicious. Served 4 people no problem. The staff is great. At one point our waiter noticed that a flying insect had invaded my wife's wine glass (we were on the patio), and he took it and refilled it. Even though she had already drank half of it, there was no charge. That's service. read more

We came to Quality Italian in Denver for a work dinner with a party of six, and it was honestly such a great experience from start to finish. The ambiance is warm and stylish without feeling stuffy, and the service was friendly and attentive the whole night. We ordered both of their signature chicken parm pizzas to share--the Classic Chicken Parm Pizza with chili honey and house seasonings, and the Cacio e Pepe Chicken Parm with Tellicherry peppercorn, fontina, and aged parmesan. Both were cheesy, crispy, and absolutely delicious. We also each had a salad and shared the filet mignon meatballs and the calamari. Even with six of us, we went home with more than half of the pizzas because the portions were so generous. Everyone left full and happy. The cocktails were fantastic, and the vibe was perfect for a work dinner that still felt like a treat. Highly recommend checking this place out, especially if you're looking for something a little special without being over the top. read more

Had dinner here with some colleagues and all I have to say is to come here hungry. The atmosphere reminds me of a steakhouse and they do have steaks, but the Italian fare is the reason for coming here. We ordered a little of everything and it was all good, but the standouts were the lobster linguini, lasagna, chicken parm, gnocchi and the Caesar salad. This place is a must try when in the area. Our servers were great and always there to fill a glass up or pick up a dish. What a great dining experience. read more

I'm here to review their brunch offerings! Specifically I came for the bottomless Bellini brunch, and I was not disappointed! The services was absolutely top tier, we felt like royalty on this snowy Sunday morning in February! The Bellinis come with your choice of syrups rather than made to order, which was not my expectation but tasty and worth it nonetheless. A bit sticky and a little messy with the syrup bottles, but the staff never let me sit with an empty champagne glass - so I'll take it! I ordered the pasta amatricianna, which was perfectly al dente and had the most glorious chunks of guanciale throughout the dish. I love pasta for breakfast, and I appreciate their commitment to craft here. We also ordered the sausage roll which despite its name was a pretty standard breakfast sandwich. Tasty for sure, but not necessarily the star of the show. The star of the show was the Nutella bananas foster French toast, which we took for dessert and ate ravenously later in the afternoon -- it was to-go container-licking delicious, and I would order this again and again. I simply have to come back for their other offerings! read more

Quality Italian - Lasagna - Italian Near Me - Denver, Colorado

We enjoyed a dinner last night to celebrate some birthdays and enjoyed the food! I did feel as a vegetarian they lacked anything special to be desired. For main courses on their menu it's either gnocchi or lobster vodka marinara with no lobster. We're from Chicago and most high end Italian restaurants have a special agnolotti it just something a little different for a vegetarian rather than the typical. And most of the salads also contain meat in which we were able to get approval for the pepperoni chips to be removed from the chopped salad. However I felt I was an inconvenience when asked. Our waitress did make the night special by bringing us all a glass of Amaro which was very sweet! I'd probably not got back for the food because I'd prefer to find a place that welcomed vegetarians! But the rest of my Omni group really enjoyed their meal as 99% of the menu is focused around meat. read more

Had a business dinner with about 30 people the other night. The atmosphere was business casual with a cozy little bar and comfortable dining area. We were in a separate room for our group which was nice. The staff delivered preordered appetizers. Mini hot dogs, lobster rolls,salmon carpaccio, and meatballs. All were outstanding and we never waited for another. For dinner it was a preset menu with a choice of New York strip, Gnocchi, and Dover Sole. I had the Gnocchi which was fabulous! Creamy and perfectly cooked. The rest of my table had steak which got mixed reviews. Some loved it. Others thought theirs was overcooked and under seasoned. I guess that goes with cooking that many steaks at the same time. Service was EXCEPTIONAL! My favorite server was Kelly (I think!). She was friendly, quick and had a great smile! The rest were also very very good but she stood out! I would like to try this place with just my wife and I. I think that would be even more amazing! read more

My goodness, I haven't had italian food this good in a long time. The noodles for all the dishes were prepared perfectly, the sauces had the perfect amount of seasoning, and the dessert gelatos...yum. The staff were also great, going above and beyond for us. They were very attentive, gave good suggestions, and treated us so well I'd fly from CA to have it again. It was nice and quiet, perfectly lit, and a great environment. We had a baby there who didn't make a peep but they were prepared with a high chair in case it was needed. Valet service is also available - worth it! read more

Normally I would give a place 5 stars, considering I have been craving the chicken parm pizza ever since I had it 3 years ago. The waiting service was a little slow, and we were there on a Tuesday. Once you ordered the food however, it is fairly quick. The food was excellent, and the drinks were fantastic as well. I am writing this review due to the Som, who just put a bad taste in our mouth. She approached and asked what we liked, where I responded maybe a Pinot noir that she would recommend, or maybe something from the Piedmont region (Italy). Knowing that these are different wines from these areas, she snapped back at the fact that the wines were completely different. So, I took a few minutes to look at the menu and she returned. When she returned, we were still having a fairly awkward encounter going over the wines, to which I was just getting frustrated and picked the PINOT NOIR FROM PIEDMONT. It just felt like she either 1. Was taking something out on us, or 2. New to the job or 3. Belittling us for choosing "two different wines" when in the end we chose a Pinot noir from Piedmont... read more

So good! I came for Brunch and it was actually pretty quiet for a Saturday so I was able to last minute add an extra person to my table. Very friendly to accommodate. My friends and I decided to order a few things and split them. We got dropped complementary honey and garlic monkey bread which was good. We got the breakfast risotto based on our servers recommendation. We also got the beefsteak tomato and straticella, and a chicken Caesar salad. It was plenty for us three. The beefsteak tomato's were huge and cut thick with lots of toppings that made it unique and tasted great. The breakfast risotto had a runny egg on top which was fun. We sliced it and let it get all over the risotto. I loved the pistachios in it. Not so much the cubed ham though. And the Caesar was also good. It had a citrus kick to it. Now that I've had brunch, I definitely want to come back and try some pasta! read more

My family recently enjoyed a wonderful dinner for Birthdays/Mother's Day at Quality Italian. The food was absolutely delicious! The best Caesar Salad I have ever had. The garlic rolls just melted in my mouth. We had a party of 8 and ordered a large portion of the entire menu. We shared our different dishes and everything was outstanding. The steaks were done perfectly, the pasta dishes were divine. The appetizers and desserts did not disappoint. We were even treated to an after dinner pour of Jefferson Bourbon which none of us had tried. It has now become a family favorite. Thanks to all who served us at our special dinner, your service was impeccable and generous. I'm sure we will join you again! read more

I dined at Quality Italian last night with my team from work. The food and wine were very good. We tried the lasagna, pork chop, branzino, and lobster ravioli. The pasta was so good and was cooked perfectly. We had a vegan in our group and there were several options for her. The restaurant was quite busy but the noise level was not overbearing where we felt like we were shouting. As the restaurant got busier, we noticed that the check ins from our server were in longer intervals. I highly recommend this restaurant if you like Italian food! read more

Quality Italian is at its best when eating in the restaurant. We ordered out to celebrate our 46th wedding anniversary. Our 2 pastas were great - agnolotti with Porterhouse and Paccheri Amateiciano. The pork chop was outstanding. The veal Milanese was a big disappointment - the veal was very tough. I suggest you order a different entree. But we will return for a proper sit down dinner read more

Came here on a Sunday night. Easily state a party of 6 with 2 kids. The food was all very good (salmon crudo, scallop crudo). The kale salad was very fresh! The chopped salad was hearty -- kinda like salad for the person who wants to pretend they're not eating a salad ;p. The specials of the night were cacio e Pepe (very satisfyingly creamy with big wide noodles) and filet mignon meat balls: very tender! Wonderful experience! Would eat here again! read more

We love going to Quality Italian no matter the time. Previous to this last visit I had only gone during dinner time and we always love the food but we went for a birthday lunch/brunch this past month and had a wonderful visit. Half of the table ordered the spicy lobster rigatoni which was incredible! They cook part of it table side and the flavors were amazing. We also had the table side bread rolls, the Cesar salad, the bottomless Bellinis, the hanger steak and eggs, burrata toast, and a virgin aperol spritz. Everyone had a delicious meal and my Virgin Aperol Spritz was the best mocktail that I have had since being pregnant! The server could have been a little faster with the Bottomless Bellini service but otherwise an impeccable dining experience. The vibes are always great and the atmosphere very cool.

We went to Quality Italian to celebrate my sister's 24th birthday, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The staff were friendly, patient, and even played along with my significant other's food related puns which, honestly, says a lot! Even though the restaurant was crowded, the layout made it feel comfortable and not overwhelming. I'd say more lively. Still perfect for a family dinner. My sister ordered the lobster vodka pasta, which they flambé right at the table. It was fun to watch and absolutely delicious. My mom has a lobster allergy, which given my sister ordered lobster they took very, very seriously. It was impressive. I had the pesto dish, and it was outstanding--super fresh. The menu is on the smaller side, but everything we tried was a hit. They made my sister feel celebrated, and we all had a blast. Definitely recommend for a special occasion or a memorable night out. read more

I sat down at quality Italian and was immediately disappointed by the limited menu, and the lack of many standard Italian staples (Cream based sauces, Carbonara, etc.) to the point I almost did not eat here. In the end I am glad I stayed. Off their specials menu they had a black truffle Cacao de Pepe so I decided to try that and it was absolutely amazing! The service is top tier and our waiter brought out some fresh baked garlic knots to tide us over while we waited for our food (which came out very quickly) The ambience is nice and has an upscale vibe, but the space is small and the tables are uncomfortably close together. It is very expensive for the portion sizes served, but they clearly use fresh high quality ingredients. TL:DR - very good food, but has some other issues that keep it from justifying its prices. read more

The hubs and I came back here for on our anniversary and were treated very kindly! Waitstaff was friendly and attentive and our water was always full - something I value highly. We enjoy coming here for a treat, but I can't give five stars because the prices are extremely high and I don't think they quite match the value. The complimentary bread is yummy but would be better warmed. For an app we had the house made ricotta which was amazing, but heavy paired with pasta dishes. We tried the corn based pasta that was similar to gnocchi (interesting but not something I would order again), the spicy lobster (a win every time, love that it's cooked tableside), and the corn brulee (unique and absolutely delicious, highly recommend). Ended with some ricotta gelato (divine) and tiramisu (looks fun but not nearly as good as the classic). *Zero Proof Review: I'm on a quest to check out all the zero proof, mocktails, and n/a beverages that Denver and beyond has to offer. I initially did not realize QI had mocktails as it was a typo and listed as "Select Beer" on the menu. When informed, I opted for the "Ginger Zinger" which was fantastic. Complex flavors and highly chuggable. They had two other mocktail options as well as one n/a lager, which is better than most spots. My one recommendation would be to add in some n/a wine and bubbly to cater to a wider audience, especially with their pre-existing massive wine menu. We will continue to come back on special occasions, but sadly can't put this in our regular rotation given the $$$. read more
