Quality Italian Denver Reviews
I finally went here and I have to say, this place didn't
I finally went here and I have to say, this place didn't disappoint. I recommend getting the lobster pasta dish, bread and butter and the chicken parmesan pizza! I can't wait to go back!
Woah. Chicken parm pizza? It's as good as you can imagine.
Woah. Chicken parm pizza? It's as good as you can imagine. The lobster pasta? Dreams are made of it. Coupled with perfect wine and the best service in the industry (thank you Taylor!)- cannot recommend more!
Definitely make a reservation if you want to try out
Definitely make a reservation if you want to try out Quality Italian! Located by the cherry creek mall, this upscale Italian restaurant is packed to the brim it seems like all the time. I was able to snag a late dinner reservation with a friend on Tuesday night, and no joke, the restaurant was filled from the moment we stepped in until like 10PM/closing time. Because of this, food can definitely come out a little slower, so expect to hang around for awhile. The server we had though was really friendly and knowledgable and just attentive enough to be helpful without being intrusive. We split the prosciutto, the truffle cacio e pepe, and the spicy lobster vodka rigatoni. We also ended up getting the tiramisu. The pasta noodles themselves are really incredible - great texture, chewy and delicious. I didn't love the sauces though. I wish the truffle was more potent in the cacio e pepe. The lobster rigatoni is really fun in that they cook it at your table, so it is a whole event. However, I felt like it was lacking a little depth in flavor and maybe too vodka forward. But that's just my own taste preferences. The tiramisu was delicious, maybe one of my favorites of the night. It's a deconstructed tiramisu so another fun dish to eat!
What a fabulous experience! Food was amazing - ESPECIALLY
What a fabulous experience! Food was amazing - ESPECIALLY given I'm gluten free and rarely have great Italian food! The drinks were equally fantastic. Service great - so much so that we repeated the visit a few days later. Exceptional!
Expensive, uninspired, and noisy
There are many more very good and better Italian restaurants in Denver. This place does not have a very interesting menu. They charge you six bucks for bread on a $500 bill. Give me a break. This is a typical cherry creek. avoid restaurant at any cost.
This place is very expensive uninspired and pretentious.
The menu is not terribly innovative. They are much better Italian restaurants around Denver. This is a typical cherry Creek restaurant rip off for people who want to spend a lot of money for very low quality food.

Food was expensive and the $75 price tag for lasagna was ridiculous . Service was good , and ambience was pleasant but extremely loud
Quality Italian is a perfectly fit name for the experience.
From quality food, quality service, and quality ambience. Absolutely loved everything and an excellent choice for a special occasion.
This is one of the best dining experiences I've had in
This is one of the best dining experiences I've had in Denver/metro Denver. The ambiance was nice and chill, good lighting and music, seating spaced out well. The service was attentive, honest and not pushy. Plenty of modifications for vegetarians. Food, drinks and dessert were delicious, nice sized portions. The bread was incredible. Well worth the wait for a reservation. Hope to be back soon.
Order with care
Quite nice ambiance/decor ( just stay aware from the bar, front and rear). Cocktails were well-executed and priced; wines: Whoa! ($$$$$$$). Wonderful service (from Randy, et al), thanks! Food is creative, non-traditional Italian-inspires, and very freshly served. If you like the menu (online) you will be very favorably impressed. BTW: the signature. ‘Chicken Parmigiana Pizza’ is not a pizza: it’s a pizza-sized/shaped (12” round), kinda routine chicken parm - in my opinion, just, chicken parm.
Enjoyed the food and setting, but it's the service that
Enjoyed the food and setting, but it's the service that sets this place apart. Outstanding service from seating through service, wine service and manager stopping by... a great experience all around.

We made RSVP for 8 for this past Saturday, then changed to 10 people when first couple arrived, and the host stand was very accommodating. Thank you for your attentiveness in helping us make that happen. We were shocked by the size of the bar, very small for the capacity of restaurant. Also, there was only one bartender when we came in, and he was so busy his hands were shaking. I could see faces at the bar of people who waited to be served a cocktail prior to being sat; some did not look to happy at all. After everyone arrived, we were sat at our table. We had never been here but in conversation with a to-go order person before we were sat at the table, he said the food was delicious. We ordered from the pre-fix menu for restaurant week, and found the portion sizes ridiculously small. What a joke on the fish dish!!! Total disappointment for one of our table guests. The tuna tartar was chopped so fine, it was like soup spread on a plate, another poorly served item. The food was not great, but average. All of us at the table have quite the palate for good Italian. But this place did not fit as "Quality". Randy our server was fantastic, as good as they come when serving guest. Between the host and the server 5 stars equally, but the restaurant food and bar, terrible.
Our reservation was made over a month in advance for a
Our reservation was made over a month in advance for a birthday party of 6-- so not that big a group, right? And a Wednesday night. When we got there, it was suggested that we would have less than an hour and a half to use our table. I get that on Friday nights or with walk-ins, but not so much with people who've made a point of letting you know they're celebrating. They relented quickly, saying that they would not "rush us out." The service overall was excellent. Our server was cheerful, professional, and quick to get us our drinks and to let us know about any changes to the menu. We were in the back area where there were multiple tables with larger groups and a few lonely tables for two-- it must have been pretty noisy for them. The ambiance is elegant enough and it should be for the prices. The wine list is limited in the sense that there are a handful of dubious choices under 100 dollars a bottle and a lot of choices over $130 a bottle. The wine steward only tried a mild upsell. A few more good options in the 65-85 range would be a nice addition to the menu. As for the food-- highlights include the filet mignon meatballs, the porterhouse agnolotti, the Niman Ranch pork chop (always happy when it's sourced from there), the corn creme brûlée, the Tuscan fries, and the Brussels sprouts. Less exciting were the truffle cacio e pepe pasta (no taste other than the truffles), the tricolore salad (no apparent dressing or other additions but excellently fresh greens) and the salmon. The filet was well received even at the wrong temperature. The tiramisu was deemed delicious and the ricotta cake as well.
Lovely ambience, amazing service and great food! We came
Lovely ambience, amazing service and great food! We came here for dinner on a weekend evening and this place was packed, we were a group of 6 and made a reservation in advance! My favorites were the gnocchi, chicken parmigiana and the desserts. Their house bread was lovely, we ordered more and I was stuffed! My husband got the lobster pasta and they live flamed it at the table, it was nice. The gnocchi was amazing, best I've had in a long time. Desserts were great, specially the tiramisu and the cheese ice cream with the pie. We also got a couple bottles of wine for the table and they had a good selection and an in house Somalier. I really liked this place and will be back!
Holy Italian!!! One of the best pasta meals I have had
Holy Italian!!! One of the best pasta meals I have had outside of Italy. It is no wonder why I always see a packed patio with people enjoying their meal. We had a group of 5 adults and made a reservation for a Sunday night dinner. There were quite a few full tables, a few empty ones when we sat down but by the time we left it was crowded. Our waitress was AMAZING! She was a professional, she was very knowledgeable about the menu and had the sommelier come to the table to help us select a wine. Her recommendations were on point - not sure you can get a bad meal here though. The amount was perfect for all of us. I ordered the short rib ravioli and my husband got the truffle pasta. I preferred the truffle pasta (you can never go wrong with truffle) so we switched. I could have eaten my weight in the truffle pasta dish, it was Unreal!!! The bread appetizer was also good but the pasta was the star of the meal. It isn't an inexpensive place so be prepared to pay but the portion is hefty as well. My only complaint was the restroom is in the neighborhood of hotel and down a set of stairs. It seems like a long and not super safe way to get to the restroom especially for those that have consumed a bit of wine.
Appetizer was amazing.
Our main dishes were such a big disappointment! For the price, I would expect a decent meal. I do not recommend this restaurant for dinner.
Best Italian food I've had maybe EVER.
Great wine list. Beautiful ambience. Perfect place for a special night out or a romantic date.
Amazing service and amazing food! Love this place! Parm
Amazing service and amazing food! Love this place! Parm pizza is a lot of food but it is totally worth it!
Never a bad meal.
Always a great buzz to the place and an exceptional experience. Truly a big city standout in a great location.
This was a terrible experience.
The kitchen opens at 4, so we walked over from our hotel and sat at the bar. We had a couple questions about a food allergy and the guy was nice enough. He asked if we were ordering drinks and we weren't sure what we wanted yet. That was when the service went south. We didn't see the guy for a solid almost 30min. We asked the server we saw helping others and he said "oh, I'm your server now." Ok, well we placed our order and waited. Our drinks never came. He forgot. Then, we ordered the bread on the menu with the honey butter. It never came. (The regular bread did, but not this) I ordered the porterhouse agnolotti pasta and it was literally flavorless. My husband ordered the NY strip steak (which was good) and the crème brûlée corn side which is a specialty of theirs. It was pretty good, but small for $15. This was not a place I would ever return. I regret paying $160 for a meal that was flavorless and for service that was poor. As far as ambiance, it was decorated super retro and cool and would have been great if everything else wasn't so bad.
Mediocre food and service
The food arrived cold, and the waiter was very rude and condescending. I asked for a cappuccino, and he told the cappuccino maker was not working. i have dined here multiple times over the last 2 years and every time i order a cappuccino they tell me the cappuccino maker is not working. how hard is it to make a cappuccino. they have it listed on their menu. if you don't want to make one than take it off of your menu.
Bad experience
Totally disappointed. This restaurant is way overpriced for what you get. The calamari app was OK, but very small. The pasta entrees were ridiculously small for the price. The gnocchi came with 10 small pieces of gnocchi and tagliatelle was just a tomato sauce like out of the can. They didn’t offer parm cheese for pasta and no bread on the side. $500 for 5 people and nothing to show for it. We will never go back and cannot believe this was rated over 4 stars. Waiter was less than pleasant.
Cherry Creek thumbs up
Highly recommend... food excellent and service was very good.... we will eat here again when back in town...
So noisy
Food was good, service great but seating way too close and noise level Way too high. Wish you could order more Bread!
Best Italian Restaurant in the Denver Area!!
Great date restaurant!! Our service was wonderful, the food delicious. We Thoroughly enjoyed the evening and the relaxed atmosphere.
Decent Food, outrageously over priced wine list.
Quality Italian is pretentious. The food is good, but their wine list is over priced and takes advantage of customers. Example: Veuve Clicquot Champagne yellow label is on the list for $180! This champagne retails for $55 and wholesale much less for Quality Italian. Further, at these prices you would think that they could afford table cloths that were not old and torn.
Lasagna and meatballs were great.
Other 3 meals were good. Two of the three dessert canoles were empty. Very slow service. 20 to 30 minutes for water refills. Grumpy waiter. Better luck next time.
Wow, what a great restaurant and experience.
Came here with a group of 6 during restaurant week and had an awesome meal. Jessica was our server and she took great care of us. She walked us through the menu and kept our drinks and waters full. Calamari app was delicious but the sausage and bread app was a table favorite. For entrees I had the pork chop which was delicious along with the ribeye agnolotti. My wife had the truffle pasta and the spicy lobster pasta. Both we excellent. Thanks so much Quality Italian, food and service were excellent and can't wait to come back again soon. 5 stars all the way

As per our waiters suggestion, my husband and I split a tomahawk steak, gnocchi dish, and a salad. Everything was amazing.
Worth it
What a lovely staff even when it is very crowded Very high quality food Friendly bartender I came alone and didn’t feel That i was alone cause of atmosphere
Had a great experience for restaurant week at Quality
Had a great experience for restaurant week at Quality Italian last night. We got a Banarama to start and it was great cocktail. Then we got the AMAZING tomato appetizer, honestly one of the best caprese's I've ever had. The calamari was also super fresh and had great coating. Then for mains we're a salmon and pesto pasta with sausage and both were outstanding. Blood orange dessert was VERY flavorful. Like insanely flavored. The restaurant itself felt kind of like you were Bioshock. It was very cool. Also our waitress was awesome. Will for sure be back to try the $70 pizza
My husband and I been coming here for years.
We use to come get for every special occasion and celebration. We visit this restaurant with our kids in 2021 after they reopen, we were so disappointed and thought the pandemic have destroyed another amazing restaurant. Last night my husband and I decided to give it another try. We order all of our original flavor items, Moscow Mule, Caesar salad and lasagna. First I love the new version of their bread, it was so yummy I ordered another one Togo. The Moscow mule comes with the ginger candy was super good but the drink was a little too spicy for me. Caesar salad is still delicious just the way we remember. The lasagna is the dish that made my husband and I fell in love with this restaurant many years ago was a little disappointing. Our server Michael was great, really nice and on top of it. Being restaurant week I thought it will be slow but it wasn't at all. We will bring the whole family again
First class and amazing service.
I would definitely be back. The chicken parm is to die for. Also, the service is on point.
Finally went back to QI and *wow* what a difference:
Finally went back to QI and *wow* what a difference: fantastic all-around. I'll attribute a good portion of my change of heart based upon the guidance of our server, who knocked it out of the park. This time our server truly guided our group through our selections and really meant what she said. The biggest surprise was the chicken parm, which (frankly) is the size of a medium pizza. Depending upon your level of hunger it could easily feed three people. So, great job.
Loved our experience here.
The ambiance is amazing and the service is incredible. We had the Caesar salad. Hands down, best Caesar dressing I've tried. The tuna carpaccio was simply fresh and delicious. The the sauce for the spicy lobster pasta was made at the side of our table with a little fire in the pan show. The aged porterhouse agnolotti was amazing. The connoisseur recommended a perfect Italian wine to go with our dinner.
This is a beautiful restaurant.
The atmosphere is sophisticated and sexy. Classic Italian themes with a modern twist on the aesthetic. Now the grub- baby gem Caesar salad 4/5, shrimp cocktail 5/5, branzino 3/5, spicy lobster rigatoni 3.5/5, wine selection 5/5, starter bread 9/5!!! Let's just leave it at that. Give it a try at least once.
Service was slow and their vodka sauce was straight vodka.
Do not recommend. It does have a nice ambiance though. Fancy and decent prices but not worth it.
Food is amazing.
Steak was done perfectly and the pasta is magnificent. Need to get both butters for the steak. What is not shown is the filet mignon meatballs which are a MUST! Also if you like desert they have a Ferrer Rocher ice cream that is addicting. Be care because the house bread is so light and good you can't get enough. The service is great I've only sat at the bar and always had a blast. Ambiance is intimate yet inviting with the dim lighting and decorations.
Loud, dark, and below average.
We were encouraged by the Halcyon Hotel to give this adjoining restaurant a try. It was extremely dark. We had to use flashlights to see the menus. Yes it was noisy, but the special of capellini with truffles was tasteless. The waiter shaved a heaping amount of truffle, which impressed me, until I tried to taste it. Bummer. I said nothing, as I was entertaining business guests. I will not return.
RUDE AND INCOMPETENT! DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME.
Staff are idiots and rude. I was told on arrival that the bar seating is first come first served. Several people before me waited and as seats opened up they sat without any staff guidance. I waited patiently for 20 min for my turn. A seat opened and I sat. Within a few minutes some over-empowered host came over and told me I couldn’t sit there and that of all the seats in the restaurant bar, I was sitting in the one seat that was reserved. They refused to serve me and the hostess all of a sudden became a mute and wouldn’t say a word. The other staff person seemed to revel in his “power” and just kept repeating, “that seat is reserved.” Unfortunately, Quality Italian of Denver is not anything like Quality Italian NYC. STAY AWAY. THEY DON’T DESERVE OUR HARD EARNED MONEY.
Vastly overpriced and brutally loud.
Food is good but not extraordinary in any way, and portions were small, even for relatively restrained eaters. The noise level at dinner was cacophonous and frankly unbearable. By the time we left, we felt like we’d spent several hours at an active construction site. Combined with the eye-watering over-pricing, it was a disappointing experience and one that won’t be repeated.
Thank You Tina
I had the best dinner. The food was awesome, but Tina is the reason I will be back. She is beyond!!!
Deliciousness!
The food is so good and the service is impeccable. The meatballs, the bread, THE STEAK! Wine list to match it :)

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Quality Italian Denver at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Quality Italian Denver page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.

3.) Finding the Reservation
* FluffyStar64 now uses their connections at Quality Italian Denver to secure the table.

* If FluffyStar64 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FluffyStar64 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FluffyStar64's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
