This time around, I tried: - chicken parm pizza: I don't understand the hype around this. It taste exactly like what you would expect. It comes with some toppings and a salad; I thought the hot honey was the best one - Ricotta cheese: smooth and delicious - the pepper steak: this was good, and cooked to the medium rare I wanted - corn brulee: pretty much a dessert, I could eat this as one - the Tuscan fries were good - Tiramisu is a pass here; not much coffee flavor - the toffee sticky pudding cake was decent although not as crumbly as I like it - the chocolate olive oil had too much of an olive oil taste at first but when I took it back home for leftovers, it tasted fine I had the falso spritz as a drink but not my preferred flavor combination. read more

Recommended by a coworker of mine and we came here for my birthday dinner. The ambiance was romantic and lively. Service was great and coat check is available. We ordered the famous chicken parm pizza which was arguably one of the best meals we've had in NYC. Super filling and my husband (I can't emphasize enough how much that man eats) couldn't finish the meal between the two of us. Wine was good and the mocktail was what I needed for my morning sickness. The hot honey drizzled on top, and the arugula with shaved Parmesan slices. It was just chef's kiss. The leftovers we took back to our hotel and I ate cold two days later. Still hit. LOL. A must try if you're in town. read more

Great Italian spot near Central Park with 10/10 vibes. This is definitely a date-night spot, especially with the dark, moody lighting. - Black truffle Cacio e peppe: 9/10 (creamy Cacio e Peppe with a generous serving of black truffle on top. It was great, but I was pretty full by the time my pasta came out) - Dry-aged porterhouse agnolotti: 8.5/10 (agnolotti stuffed with flavorful beef in a slightly tangy sauce) - Caesar salad: 10/10 (great salad with generous portions) - Oysters: 10/10 Service was a bit on the slower side, which meant we were pretty full by the time our pasta dishes were ready. But again, that might've just been because the appetizers were huge!! read more

This was my most disappointing visit to one of the restaurants in the Quality group. It's a nice atmosphere and you didn't feel too crowded. Service was good but not overly helpful or engaging. Stated with the Whipped Ricotta which was very good. The next course was the Broccoli Rabe Malfadine which was very good. We then ordered the Hanger steak which was a huge disappointment. It was tough and chewy and not much flavor. Finished with the Ice Cream Cheesecake which was okay but not great. For the amount of money you spend here I would have wished for a more memorable dining experience read more

Quality Italian - The Classic Chicken Parm Pizza Pack (Serves 2) - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

The ambiance of Quality Italian is spectacular! I loved the design of the place. There was great care taken with the bar, dining area, bathrooms, etc. The appetizers were also delicious. We started with the ricotta & shrimp cocktail and drinks. Everything was great! My fish was also very good! My husband ordered a spicy lobster pasta,, but asked that it not be spicy and unfortunately it was. We also were not fans of the broccoli raab as it was too hard and hard to digest. Also some food was salty. My gelato dessert was delicious & the tiramisu was nicely presented, but my husband did not love. All in all, I really liked this place and I would definitely go back. I would try different menu items as I feel we just got a little unlucky on what we ordered. Bar also looks like a fun place to hang out! read more

Quality Italian in New York was another great experience. The service was excellent from start to finish and the food was outstanding. I ordered the Caesar salad, calamari, spicy lobster rigatoni, and the broccoli and everything was so good. The flavors were on point and the presentation was really well done. Really good ambiance, very chill vibes. This was my second time here and it still hasn't failed me yet. Consistent quality, great energy, and definitely a place I'll keep coming back to. read more

Thank you for fitting my party in on short notice! The Italian was QUALITY! I've been to the steakhouse so I've always wondered about the Italian spot! After this, looking forward to trying the BISTRO! We ordered the stuffed clams, focaccia, lobster pasta, and truffle caccio de peppe! Also shared the most popular dessert, bread pudding. All exceeded expectations and were highly recommended by the staff! The lobster pasta, very unique cheesy and creamy texture and flavor! Full of lobster chunks! The truffle pasta was also delicious with shaved truffle, also creamy and delicious. The food tasted like they simmered it long to build up the flavor, yet the texture of the pastas was perfectly aldente! Cheers! They also followed instructions for my special cocktail(club soda, lemon juice, mezcal) to a tee! read more

Another stellar Quality brand restaurant, Quality Italian is definitely not to be missed. We dined in on a Monday and it was absolutely packed! Definitely make a reservation. To drink, I had the 57 Spritz which was nice - could've used a bit more aperol. They do give complimentary garlic bread rolls which is a plus. We tried a variety of items: Whipped Ricotta (good but could pass on it), Brussels, Delicate Squash (seasonal special), and of course 2 of their delicious pastas - the Gnocchi and the Truffle Cacio e Pepe. Both were fabulous and so rich/flavorful. Dessert is also a must - we had the Ferrero Rocher Gelato, Chocolate Cake, and the best of the 3 in my opinion, the Sticky Toffee Pudding. Our waiter was also wonderful - so kind and made a point to converse with us throughout the evening. read more

Quality Italian very much meets the mark for location, food, and price. This is a group dining, midtown restaurant, with Italian American food that has good service in a nice space. This is not going to achieve what you want out of a Del Posto (RIP) type spot, and certainly doesn't have the neighborhood feel of a Nonna Dora's, but it also delivers good food, in a sexy environment, that is great for a birthday dinner or a work get together. This is the same restaurant group that owns Bad Roman and Don Angie, both restaurants that deliver Italian food and a different vibe entirely. Don Angie would be my fun date spot, Bad Roman would be where I take my parents, and Quality Italian would be where I take my team. Tricolore margarita is the same as it was 10 years ago, the whipped ricotta just so tasty, the paccheri honestly really good and the truffle cacio e pepe so tasty. The chicken was good, the salmon tasty, and nothing was overwhelmingly large, but nothing was overwhelmingly great. The whole experience is marked with honestly great service each step of the way. I love that about it. read more

I have been to three of the restaurants in the Quality restaurant group, here, Quality Bistro, and Bad Roman. And while I say this is my least favorite of the three, I still enjoyed it! Service was as friendly as the others, dining feels upscale but doesn't break the bank. I LOVED the chicken parm pizza. We were worried when it came out that we misunderstood and it was pizza with chicken parm on it... NO they got the cutlets THAT FLAT I think about it often, but not much else which is why it's lower for me then the other two. read more

Delicious every single time. Idk how I haven't reviews it before. We had to wait about 30 min for our table which was unusual... usually we are sat immediately. This delay let me encounter the bartender however who was SO good. He didn't have specifically the drink I asked for, but made me something he thought I would like and nailed it. My whole party had delicious drinks served quickly, efficiently and fairly priced for nyc. He managed the bar expertly while we waited and navigated a lot of people waiting to eat dinner really well. (Great first impression for this visit to QI). Once sat our servers immediately greeted us with apologies for delay on reservation, fresh bread (their classic four Parker house style rolls with garlic butter). We had more cocktails and a bottle of the Quality Red wine within minutes and they reviewed the specials and some selections with us. We started with the Cesar salad without lemon rinds (they grind fresh lemon rinds on top normally, which is fresh and bright but not what we wanted that evening) and some of the whipped ricotta. That whipped ricotta is never necessary but SO so good and never a regret. From there we shared the chicken parm pizza, pesto malfadine pasta and fries. In between our servers brought us complimentary meatballs that were served in fresh red sauce with cheese on top. Delicious. Get them. The chicken parm pizza is always a show stopper, for those who don't know it's literally a giant pizza shaped chicken parm, not actually a pizza. This was our best yet; hot, crispy and perfect sauce/cheese ratio. We had a gorgeous corner half moon booth overlooking the back dining room. It was nice and dim and moody inside and the restaurant was lively but not loud. Overall always such a delicious meal and one of these days we will try some new things. read more

I had the most incredible dinner with my girlfriends on Friday at Quality Italian! Because we had 7 people we made a reservation a few weeks in advance, and I'm glad we did because it was PACKED.

This restaurant deserves every single star -- and here's why. I flew into town to celebrate my mother-in-love's 94th birthday, and from the moment we arrived, the experience was memorable. She and her friend were able to use the elevator, which made things much easier. Check-in was smooth, and although our initial table was in a high-traffic area, I had written a note in the reservation requesting something more special. The team graciously let us wait at the bar (where we enjoyed a glass of prosecco), then seated us at a beautiful window table with a HB note to her. The service was excellent -- fast, kind, and attentive. Our servers were informative and even switched to Spanish when needed, which my guests deeply appreciated. The food was outstanding. The lobster appetizer was phenomenal, the fish filet and the lobster with spicy pasta served table side, was absolutely unforgettable. On top of that, they surprised us with complimentary dishes and birthday cake, a gesture that truly showed how much they care about their patrons. Most importantly, they made my mother-in-love feel celebrated and special on her milestone day. That kind of thoughtfulness is rare, and we were touched by it. We'll absolutely be back -- and I can't wait to try everything else on the menu! read more

My wife and I only eat steak on occasions - perhaps three times a year. When we go out for a steak we hurry over to Quality Italian. It's very pricey, but so good. We went last week for my birthday and were reminded just how good the whole experience is. The steak (a filet mignon) was indescribably tasty and the service was A-1. We still take joy in thinking about it. We'll be back for our anniversary. read more

Finally got the chance to try Quality Italian and left very happy! This spot is located on the second floor in east midtown. There is a coat check when you first enter, but then you climb the spiral staircase to the host stand where you check-in. I came with a reservation on a weeknight and was seated promptly. The actual space is similar to Quality Meats- classic decor, dark, and loud. It was also packed with the after-work crowd since I came on a weeknight. I started with the Spritz (refreshing and tart). For appetizers we got the Caesar Salad and the Whipped Ricotta w Monkey Bread. They were able to accommodate a nut allergy and served the walnuts on the side. The Whipped Ricotta was tasty- fluffy and sweet with a drizzle of honey and salt. It went perfectly with the warm pull-apart monkey bread. Caesar salad was crisp and tasty. For mains we got the Truffle Pappardelle and the Beef Ragu. They really did not skimp on the truffle, which is shaved tableside. The Truffle pasta was creamy, rich, and indulgent. The Beef Ragu had a nice kick from the peppers and the pasta itself had a good bite. We finished with the orange creamsicle gelato which was garnished with a candied orange peel. This was nice and refreshing, but nothing life changing. Overall I had high expectations and I left happy! Pasta is yummy, ricotta and monkey bread is a fun app, and the service was overall really good as they were mindful of the nut allergy throughout the meal. read more

Have you ever dreamed of pasta for a month straight? Well I have after my visit to Quality Italian! I can go on and on about their pesto pasta. It's the best pasta I've had in my life.

Quality Italian? Well... I'd say it was mediocre Italian. Decided to get the chicken parm pizza. Wasn't a super fan of it being made with ground chicken. Flavor was fine I guess. Overall, wasn't impressed. Have had far better food at far cheaper places. This place seems to be over priced and hyped far too much. Maybe some of the other dishes are far better. Wouldn't go back based on this experience. read more

been dying to try this spot after hearing all the hype around it. nailed a weekday reservation for 2 people to celebrate a friends birthday. immediately after walking in we were greeted and seated. everyone was friendly and i quickly realized this restaurant is HUGE! we were celebrating a birthday and the restaurant killed it with the constant reminders and free dessert unfortunately the food really was overhyped. the chicken parm pizza was not as good as we had heard with the chicken tasting very old and there being a lot of flavors missing. especially for this being almost $90, insane the fish we ordered was good but not worth almost $30 for 3 pieces. the dessert really hit the spot however. the team was kind enough to give a complimentary lemon sorbet which was the perfect pallet cleanser sweet treat in the end unfortunately given the food being average and prices being high i will not return ct h b read more

Quality Italian is big and loud with seating for large groups and small parties. Not a place to go for a romantic intimate dinner. The complimentary warm Parker rolls were fantastic. I think they were given at Quality Meats as well. We liked our two pastas. I preferred the aged steak agnolotti which was 44 dollars. We went for the veal Milanese which took forever to come out. Even the parties next to us who placed orders after us got their mains before we got our veal Milanese. The wait staff was nice and kept following up and apologizing for the wait. The Milanese was nothing special. This deterred us from getting dessert as we just wanted to leave in a timely fashion. read more

Don't sleep on this place near Central Park south! We couldn't decide between steakhouse and Italian with homemade pasta and this place delivered both! Came for lunch had quick friendly service and they even separated the lobster vodka sauce for my picky son who ended up loving it. The bone in sirloin was simply the best I've ever had especially great if you love the char. Pastas need no intro and the filet meatballs were kinda soft if u like that mouth feel. Brûléed corn is a must!! Great mix of customers from biz lunch to families in a clean modern and comfortable setting. Will go back for dessert next the Parker house style garlic rolls were too irresistible! read more

You guys.. idk how to feel. Made an 8:30pm resy (this is very late IMO lol) but it was all they had and I was hoping they would take us early! (Ha ha) we didn't sit down till a little after 9pm as our table wasn't ready. Not great. We didn't leave the restaurant till after 11pm (also not great) we did complain and they did pay for a round of drinks while we waited but it was still very late to be eating and we were all pretty hungry and a bit tipsy by the time we sat down. Okay.. moving onto the food! We ordered a bunch of things for the table, whipped ricotta, caesar salad, corn crème brûlée (loved all of those!) then we ordered the famous chicken parm pizza for $86? The pizza was not great...The quality was just ok. We then ordered spicy rigatoni lobster pasta - I wasn't impressed with the sauce, the lobster was good though. The desserts were excellent!!! The service was also very nice and the ambience is so nice!! After food/ drinks the bill was about $220 per couple with tip. Overall we had a nice time but I'm not running back.. I think I'm too old for this spot ha! read more

We were a party of 6 celebrating a birthday. There are two floors, and each floor has a bar. We did not have trouble getting a bar seat at 5 pm on a Saturday, and everyone seemed to enjoy the cocktails before we were seated right on time for our 5:30 reservations. Our server was excellent, and we were not rushed at all. We shared the chicken pizza for an app, and it lived up to its expectations! I am not a huge hot honey fan, but I do recommend you try a drizzle on the pizza. For dinner, three different pasta dishes, the salmon, Brussels sprouts, and salad were all good. Go for the giant Godfather cannoli with three heaping scoops of gelato inside, with toppings for dessert, or the cheesecake gelato slice. I recommend this place for a group or special occasion, or go with a friend and order the chicken pizza and dessert. You will be stuffed! read more

We used to come here very often when our office was located nearby. Came here recently for a colleague's farewell dinner. The menu has a lot of good options. The pasta dishes were always impressive-- rich, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The filet mignon pasta special was a standout, decadent and unique, combining bold flavors with comforting textures. And the spicy lobster pasta -- the perfect kick of heat with tender lobster. Dessert was just as impressive -- beautifully plated and not overly sweet, great finish to an incredible meal. The service was attentive, welcoming, and never rushed -- we felt truly taken care of from start to finish. Can't wait to come back! read more

We had a great dining experience at Quality Italian. To start, we ordered the shellfish tower and it was a solid choice. The standout for me was the shrimp cocktail: the shrimp were fresh, juicy, and full of flavor with every bite. The oysters were also excellent. For my main course, I went with the bone-in prime sirloin, and it did not disappoint. Perfectly cooked and packed with flavor and I like the salt at the top. It was definitely a highlight of the meal. Dessert was a fun adventure. The burnt marshmallows were hands-down the favorite, rich, gooey, and nostalgic in the best way. The Tiramisu Luci came in a close second, and the blood orange creamsicle was a refreshing, citrusy finish. The service was great and all our food came out pretty much the same time. We were so busy talking that I barely notice them but they always made sure to fill our glasses. Overall, a great spot for a special night out. Solid steak spot to add to my list. read more

Indeed a quality meal. This is a great alternative by the same restaurant group for those who can't snag a coveted Don Angie's reservation. The ambiance was very cool and this is a great special occasion spot or somewhere to bring out of town visitors. We got the famous chicken parm pizza and it was pretty good, but for me nowhere close to a normal pizza. I didn't realize there's no crust, so I was a bit disappointed with the sogginess of the chicken but the flavors were great and I loved the cheesiness. We got a bunch of mains and sides to share, described below: Gnocchi 5/5- Very light and pillowy with a silky sage butter sauce. Steak 5/5- Cooked and seasoned to perfection. High quality cut. Brussels Sprouts 5/5- Packed with flavor and nicely crisped. Creamed Corn 4/5- Very interesting, polenta like texture. I liked it but wouldn't say it's a "must order" unless you're a particular fan. Kale salad 3/5- Good to get some greens on the table and the vinaigrette was fresh and light. How highly can one really rate a salad? We also shared a number of desserts: S'mores Ice Cream 5/5- The star of the show dessert wise. Definitely would recommend! Sticky Bread Pudding 5/5- A close second! Absolutely delicious. Pistachio Cherry Ice cream 4/5- Also very good. Especially liked the cherries. I'm told it tastes similar to spumoni. Sorbet 3/5- Tasted just like a creamsicle. Very refreshing and light. A good palette cleanser with all the heavy desserts on the table. This is a great option if you want something lighter, but I'm generally a fan of a more decadent dessert. Overall, a terrific experience. Would recommend! read more

This place was absolutely delicious! We ordered their classic Chicken Parm Vodka Pizza, and it totally lived up to the hype--so flavorful and cheesy. The portion is HUGE and definitely shareable for 3-4 people, even though the menu says it serves 2. We also tried the calamari and the Little Gem Caesar salad, which were both excellent. We went for lunch, and it was the perfect spot for a quick yet satisfying meal. When we arrived, the hostess initially seemed hesitant to check upstairs for a table, but I insisted, and we were seated in the main dining area, which was much nicer. Aside from that small hiccup, the staff was very friendly and attentive. Highly recommend stopping by for a memorable meal! That Chicken Parm Pizza alone is worth the trip! read more

Food 4/10 The food was fine. Definitely not worth the price though. The pasta was very "eh" and it was also too salty. The steak was also way too salty for my preference.

Personally, would not come back again Atmosphere 4/10 Probably a great spot for business meals, but I thought it was way too dark and loud inside.

Quality Italian is a beautiful, spacious restaurant and solid food. The rolls they bring to the table are amazing...so good that we seriously debated asking for more (but managed to restrain ourselves). We started with the sushi appetizer, which was just okay and not something I'd order again. That said, the chicken parm "pizza" more than made up for it. It's not really pizza at all; it's a massive chicken parm sliced like a pizza and served with a fresh salad. It was absolutely delicious and way more food than we could finish. Overall, a great experience, and we'll definitely be back to try more from the menu. read more

I came with a party of 6 for a birthday celebration, and the restaurant had a nice ambiance with friendly staff. While some items on the menu can be expensive, I felt that all the steaks were reasonably priced. The free bread they serve was amazing. The steak was a little undercooked for medium but was perfectly seasoned and very juicy. All members of the party enjoyed their dishes, such as the Spicy Coppa, Lobster Pasta, Fusilli alla Manzo, and Chicken Parm Pizza. The service was a bit slow, as it took the waitress a while to take our orders. We also had to ask for a bread refill multiple times before we finally received it. The tables are very close to each other and can feel a bit cramped, so if you're coming with a larger party, keep this in mind. Overall, it was a great experience and would recommend you trying it for yourselves. read more

This place did not dissapoint! Service was amazing, food was great, and drinks were so tasty. It is dark, it is cool, it is a vibe, and can come here for any occasion. The waiters do a good job asking if you are going to a show or event after so that they can stay on time and make sure you get out when needed. It is easy to lose track of time with all the yummy food and drinks. I do wish they guided us a bit when ordering, just because I think we got too much for two. All that to say, there is nothing wrong with leftovers! Food/ Drinks: - Tricolore Margarita (it was okay. I get the aestheitcs of it, but there's other better drinks imo) - Paper plane did not dissapoint. - Complimentary champagne when there for a special occassion. - Complimentary Garlic Bread - Little Gem Caesar (very tasty) - Black Truffle Cacio e Pepe (such a unique take on cacio e pepe but it was SO good) - The Classic Chicken Parm For Two (Tons of food and comes with a side of salad. Solid.) Definitely want to come back and continue exploring the menu! read more

Came here recently for a special birthday dinner for my husband and it is quite a scene! The place is huge, and feels very festive -- we were a group of six and large groups in general seemed popular. Being in a group is also a great way to share the many great dishes on the menu. We particularly enjoyed the dry aged steak agnolotti, corn crème brûlée side, and of course the chicken parm "pizza" has to be tried. Desserts actually turned out to be the standouts -- there are several unique presentations of gelato, and our fave was peppermint straciatella which arrived w a dark chocolate cookie and its glass rim covered in chocolate and candy cane. Overall food was very good. Service did its best but seemed very overstrained -- we sometimes went 25 min without anyone even checking if we needed water and had to remind our waiter of what we needed a few times. While the restaurant is spacious, reservations almost seems overbooked -- we had one for 8 pm and weren't seated til around 8:35. we had a reservation for 8 pm on a Monday and weren't seated until 8:35. read more

I spent my birthday dinner at Quality Italian and I'm so glad I did! We had a reservation, which arrived right on time for. It was really busy and we did have to wait for about 10 minutes in the bar area but then we were seated. The table was set with a little birthday card. Super generic without even my name on it, but a nice touch nonetheless. We were greeted by our server who was super kind and personable. He did have his upsell hat on, which I get because you have to sell to make money as a waiter, but it was a little much at times. Other than that, he took care of us throughout the meal. We started with some drinks while we looked at the menu and wine list. We're wine people but wanted to try something different to celebrate so their sommelier stopped by our table to help. Wine was pricey but it felt exclusive and many were options that we cannot get from our supplier back home. We ended up with a lot of food for the table. The rolls that came first were incredible. So buttery and garlicy. We split the whipped ricotta and Caesar salad. I would have ordered the ricotta again, but while it was good, the salad was a little generic for the price. My husband and I each got a pasta and split the NY strip. The truffle cacio e Pepe was incredible. I'd order it 10x over. We also had the special fusilli with a filet mignon Ragu which was also delightful. The pasta was perfectly al dente and the sauce was rich and creamy. The strip was cooked well but a little tough. We're spoiled with steak living in Nebraska so I've had better but it wasn't awful. Dessert options came and we ordered too much but it was all great. I got a sundae for free for my birthday and it was a peppermint ice cream on top of a brownie. Super creamy and rich without feeling too sweet. We also got the sticky toffee pudding and the chocolate cake, which was an actual small 4" round cake. My only complaint with dessert is they didn't offer to package up the leftover cake. Everything tasted great and it was the perfect cap to dinner. To finish, I got a glass of champagne, which at $28, seemed like a steal. Overall, it was a great dinner spent with great friends and we will return when we are back in town. read more
