    Spicy lobster rigatoni alla vodka
    Edie A.

    Decided to return to Quality Italian for a splurge brunch with my bestie. Our server was amazing and made our day memorable. Their Bottomless Bellini is a steal at $20 with three juices (white peach, cucumber lime, and grapefruit-pomegranate). Instead of having appetizers, we went for it. We had the Spicy Lobster Rigatoni alla Vodka made fired table-side and the Classic Chicken Parm Pizza. We knew we would be taking home leftovers. (We both had enough for three more meals, so the cost of our brunch was actually very reasonable!) We really appreciated not being rushed through our meal. We were seated at a two-top table next to an open window by the patio, so we could people-watch both inside and outside. I highly recommend you make reservations to ensure you won't have to wait for a table.

    Side salad and the chilli honey
    Erin S.

    Quality Italian is just pure quality. I have been here a few times before and am never ever disappointed. We got an early reservation and opted for the bottomless bellini cart. This is worth every penny and our server made sure we always had a full glass. We went big for our brunch and decided to split the chicken parm pizza for two knowing we'd take several slices home for additional meals. This is one of the best things I've had the opportunity to enjoy. It is so so good. Add a little hot honey to the top of it, and it is just divine. The parm part is perfectly baked with the excellent cheese to chicken ratio. Delicious!! We also wanted to try some pasta, so we ordered the spicy lobster rigatoni alla vodka, which they prepare for you table-side. The amount of lobster you get in this dish, is crazy and the lobster was incredibly fresh and delectable. My mouth is watering as I write this remembering how good it was. Always a delicious and filling meal at Quality Italian.

    Filet meatballs, tuna carpaccio, Caesar salad, and bread for the table
    Miranda S.

    I went to bed thinking about my meal here and woke up thinking about the review I was going to leave. I feel like everyone and their mother has been here - and for good reason. Starting with my favorite and the absolute knockout: The Dry-Aged Bistecca Agnolotti. Think of a ravioli pouch, but smaller and better, filled with meat, sitting in a bed of the most perfectly browned brown butter with thick parmesan shaves on top. You think it's over, and then your server comes and pours a sweet yet vinegary reduction on top. I'm actively eating it for breakfast as I write this. Insane. Will be thinking about this for a few days. The others in the group got the Spicy Lobster Rigatoni Alla Vodka, which is one of their most popular dishes. It was good (we swapped bites), but mine was better. For the table we split a Caesar (which I do wish had more dressing, but I love a dressing so that could just be me), filet mignon meatballs (4 in an order which was perfect for our group of 4), and the tuna and avocado carpaccio. Favorites were the meat and fish. We used the bread to sop up the meat sauce at the end. Lastly, the Chicken Parm Pizza was ordered for the table. Basically, the "crust" of the pizza is chicken parm. I think it's a little expensive for what it was, but I'm glad I got to try it with a bigger group. Can't imagine reordering it, solely for the size and cost, but it was a unique food experience. Drinks at the table included a Barbera, a Chardonnay, a Sangria, and a Spritz. All good. Overall, service was great, restaurant is beautiful, dishware is pretty, and vibes are sophisticated yet unpretentious. You will be walking 40 days and 40 nights to the bathroom though, which is outside the restaurant, through the hotel, down the stairs, and through the hallway. Can't wait to return!!!

    Recently tried this place for my birthday dinner and it lives up to its name "quality Italian"! Truly so so so good! We had the whipped ricotta and sashimi and both were incredible appetizers . For our meal we had steak, salmon and the lobster spicy vodka pasta! All were incredible! The presentation of the lobster pasta was 10/10 and a whole fire side experience was such a nice touch and elevated the taste of the meal. The service was great especially for how busy on a Friday night. The restaurant gave romantic vibes but when we went it was so loud so hard to hear my friends even though it was four of us in total. Would totally come back!

    Perfect place for a girl's night, which is exactly what we did! The service and ambiance were both warm and excellent. The food was great overall, we tried most of the pastas as a group. I did not care for the uni bucatini as it was a bit too heavy on the uni for me. If I go back I will try the chicken parm pizza which they are famous for. What really needs a mention is the standout dessert menu - the lemon sorbetto is pictured here but we also had the Ferrero Rocher gelato and the sticky toffee pudding which were phenomenal. I would recommend this place!

    My absolute favorite Italian place in Denver. I will never have a bad thing to say. Every single bite we had was phenomenal. The service was great and helped guide us through the menu. We also came for a celebratory dinner and they brought us two free desserts and drinks. The ambiance is super cute- low lighting, old school Italian vibes while also somehow feeling actual Italian influences. We started with the crudo which was so melt in your mouth buttery and fresh. The bread alone is fantastic and would come back for more. The standouts were the steak ravioli and the toffee pudding. I would go back time and time again for special occasions.

    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!

    This is my absolute go to Italian place in Denver! I couldn't recommend quality Italian enough! Service is amazing with an amazing low dim atmosphere.

    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.

    $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.

    Lasagna
    Sunnie W.

    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.

    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.

    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 staff was friendly, very accommodating, and the overall experience feels much more like fine dining than a casual lunch spot. I was sorry to miss grilled artichoke season because I've had them before and they're fantastic. I ordered the chicken Caesar salad and it was excellent. The chicken was shredded from roasted chicken, the croutons were amazing, and the whole salad felt much more elevated than the basic chicken Caesar you get at so many places. They also have a great wine-by-the-glass selection. One thing to note: my husband was wearing a cap because we were running late. After we had already been seated and ordered drinks and appetizers, a young manager came over and told him he needed to remove it. I completely understand and respect a dress code, but I do think that should have been mentioned when we entered the restaurant, not after we were seated and had already ordered. Interestingly, our friend was wearing cargo shorts, which were apparently fine, so the policy felt a little inconsistent. That said, the food, service, and overall atmosphere were excellent, and I'd absolutely return.

It comes with the warm kale panzanella. The kale itself was solid, but I wasn't particularly blown away by the croutons/panzanella portion of the dish. Still, the chicken more than made up for it. The French dip, though, was INCREDIBLE. Hillstone absolutely knocked this one out of the park. The beef was fantastic, and the whole sandwich just worked. I would highly recommend this to anyone coming here, definitely one of the standout dishes we've had. We substituted the French dip's usual side for the creamed corn, which was classic, comforting, and very yummy. A great side choice. And, as always, the cocktails were stellar. Hillstone consistently delivers on that front. Another great meal at Hillstone, and the French dip is now firmly on my list of must-order dishes.

    Very disappointing experience, especially considering how often we used to come here…read more The menu has changed, and unfortunately not for the better. The portions have become noticeably smaller, including the Lions, which used to be one of the reasons we enjoyed coming here. The value simply isn't what it used to be. But the main reason for this one-star review is what happened with one of the servers. My wife and I were sitting at one table and placed our order. A more attractive table became available, and since the restaurant has open seating, we moved there. Our original table was directly behind me. My wife noticed that our server -- a woman with green hair -- was looking for us with our order. I turned around and tried to get her attention, but she didn't hear me even though she was standing about an arm's length away. I reached out with one finger and briefly touched her side to get her attention and indicate that we were sitting right there and that the order was ours. She brought the food to our table, and at that point everything seemed completely normal. Then, some time later, a manager came over with another employee and told us that we needed to leave the restaurant. We were completely confused and had no idea what was happening. We were then told that the server claimed I had grabbed her from behind. That accusation was absolutely shocking and completely inconsistent with what actually happened. I was sitting at the table with my wife, and the only physical contact was a brief touch on her side with one finger to get her attention because she couldn't hear me. What is especially disappointing is that this apparently wasn't properly addressed afterward. We continued to think about the situation because it was an extremely uncomfortable and humiliating experience. We used to spend approximately $140-$230 per visit here, depending on how many people we came with. We were regular customers and genuinely enjoyed this place. Unfortunately, after this experience, we will not be coming back. One star.

There were bright elements in our visit, but overall, I was disappointed. FOOD & DRINK: We ordered a couple of cocktails. The S'mores seasonal cocktail was mostly about sweetness (a not uncommon thing here). My Diabolo cocktail had what might have been a pleasant, lightweight fruit flavor, but that was overwhelmed by Calabrian chilis (which also threatened to overwhelm the apps). Both more or less matched the description on the menu, but the execution was underwhelming. I later had a glass of Chianti, which was nice. We had some Cacio e Pepe Arancini, which did not remind me at all of Cacio e Pepe, and were sort of gooey, though the pesto aioli was a nice touch. We split a Caesar salad which was a good idea because (a) it was huge and (b) it was the tastiest thing we had -- an excellent, garlicky dressing, with a good blend of lettuce, parmesan, and house croutons. My lasagna came in a little metal baking bowl that, duh, it was baked in. It looked very nice, and was a generous proportion, but it made actually cutting up and eating bites of the lasagna a bit awkward. The savory of the sauce in the lasagna was mostly swamped by the sweetness of the ricotta mixture. My wife had Short Rib sauce on Lumache pasta. It was tasty, but not as flavorful as the short ribs or the rest of the menu description hinted. That was an overall flaw of most of what we had -- interesting-sounding items that seemed to have the flavor turned down to 3. For dessert, the salted caramel Budino was fine but too sweet. That also described the Tiramisu. The coffee was good. SERVICE: Though it took a couple of minutes for them to decide on a table for us (though we had reservations and were there on the dot), everything else about the service was outstanding -- our waitress when we needed her, not there when we didn't, and overall very friendly and pleasant. Bravo. AMBIANCE: The restaurant was clean and nicely decorated. The chairs were surprisingly comfortable and nicely narrow in profile (though wide enough for comfort) so that moving them around and maneuvering past them wasn't a problem. Biggest issue here was that, at 5:45 and for the duration of our meal, the noise level was such that my wife and I could hardly hear each other over the table we were at. Most of the noise, though not all of it, was Happy Hour folk in the bar, and North Italia clearly does a land office business with that cohort. For me, I'd make a point to dine later, if that fit the rest of the plans for the evening. NET-NET: Being in Cherry Creek, parking is always an issue. The adjoining hotel gave us valet service for $14, which was worth it for the convenience. Not counting that valet, or tip, the tab worked out to about $90 each for the two of us which on the one hand I would expect for a higher-end restaurant in the area, but on the other hand seemed a bit steeper than the food experience we'd had. I wouldn't turn down an invitation from a friend to dine at North Italia again -- it wasn't a *bad* meal -- but I wouldn't recommend to a friend as a place to eat. There are a lot of great restaurants, even just in the Cherry Creek area, and I'd rather try (or revisit) one of those, given a preference.
