    The best dinner we had while vacationing in Denver! Service was attentive, thoughtful and brought a wonderful energy to our evening. From top to bottom, the food was exceptional. Flavorful, fresh and inventive. Should be on everyone's Denver list!

    $19 Caesar Salad
    Craig S.

    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.

    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.

    Good food, service and wine knowledge. Went for a business dinner and service was outstanding. Small group and the som came around to help with wine and after dinner drinks.

    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.

    I am a sucker for good Italian place, and wow did this place blow my mind. The food was cooked to perfection, the decor is lovely, the service was top notch. There was not a time where the servers weren't attentive. If you like good Italian food I would recommend checking this place out.

    Sunday sausage roll
    Jessica C.

    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!

    The Godfather cannoli.
    Sean M.

    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.

    NY Chop Salad

    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.

    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.

    Bananas foster French toast
    Sophie S.

    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!

Tbh reserving felt…read moresuper stressful but I guess that kind of the culture nowadays with the rules, credit card down, and showing up on time with a 10min leeway. However, we ended up showing up an hour before our reservation hoping to just get seated and we got in right away. Cassey was our incredible waiter and he made the night very memorable. After learning it was our first time there, he very patiently walked us through the menu and how the restaurant generally worked with serving sizes. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. The ambience was great and cozy. We sat on the patio and it was mildly windy but it still felt nice being kept away in a corner of downtown. Starting with the appetizers, you HAVE TO get the burrata with some bread. It's the perfect flavor combination with the texture of the bread crumbs. Absolutely delicious. The salad was also a really great refreshing balance with the heavier burrata and bread. It's such a simple salad with the most amazing flavors of pickled shallots, buttermilk dressing, and Parmesan. They truly have some of the best cheeses ever. For the mains, I got the lobster tagliatelle and my partner got the lamb rigatoni. We also got smashed potatoes to share with cheese. Everything was impeccable. I was hesitant to get the lobster dish because it's such a low chance that a lobster dish is actually going to taste as good because it's a very difficult dish to perfect but I can confidently say it's probably one of the best ones I've had. The tomato base sauce with celery and chile with the lobster is the perfect combination. I do have to say a DISCLAIMER if you're not good with spicy food it's not for you. It has a pretty strong kick throughout the eating process so do not get it if you can't handle spice. Other than that, it's one of the most flavorful seafood pasta dishes I've ever had. I tried my partners lamb rigatoni and they truly perfected the rendering of it in the sauce and it's such a perfect overall dish with a good serving for rigatoni in general. If you're extra hungry, I would get the cheesy potatoes, they are perfectly crispy on the outside and nice and warm on the inside with the perfect amount of cheese and salt flakes. To close the night, we, of course, got the tiramisu which was very well made. Now, I have been to Paris and actually had it with the best cream on earth so it won't top that. However, it is a close second and probably the best I've had in America. I highly highly highly recommend you try it out. The service is impeccable and Cassey was the best company to have around to talk about celebrations, house of dragon, and having a good night. Thanks for making my birthday a great experience!

We were seated at the front by the window, which was nice. It did get a little hot in the restaurant as more people arrived, since it has been unusually warm in Denver this season. We split six plates and were stuffed by the time the celebratory dessert arrived. We started with the burrata, which paired well with apple butter and pickled apples. The arancini was a fusion of Indian spiced cauliflower with mint-cilantro yogurt raita. My favorite of the Spuntini dishes was the Granchio--jumbo lump crab served over a crispy potato cake with butternut squash and a perfect 63 ° egg. We split two Primi dishes: their special of the day pasta, and the Cappellini Aglio e Olio. The Cappellini was amazing--a perfect blend of Indian spices, breadcrumbs, and another 63 ° egg. Yum.
