Food was delicious and the presentation even better. The place is very active with a lot of people and little bit noisy

I'm going to start with the cons as they significantly outweighed the pros. Cons: 1. Noise. It was uncomfortably loud, to the point where for my diningmate to hear me I had to yell at her... Why they feel the need to put club style music at a ridiculous volume in a restaurant, requiring dinners to have to talk extremely loud, leading to an uncomfortable overall volume is beyond me! 2. Light. It is very dark, like to the point where I couldn't read the menu dark (walking through the restaurant I saw several people using their phone's flashlight to see their menu/food) or see the color of my food. I wish restaurants would stopped with the overly dramatic ambiance...it doesn't have the effect they think it does, it just takes away from the food. PRO: 1. Food. The food was quite good and considering the area priced as expected. 2. Wine list. It was considerable with some good choices. 3. Service. Our server was very attentive and was overall great. I give this restaurant a 4 for the food, 5 for service, 1 for ambiance/noise which I am averaging out to a 3. The ambiance really killed the whole experience for me!

First time at Quality establishments Very impressed with the ambiance and the atmosphere Food was good. But not quite the level of some other top Italian restaurants in NYC The steak was perfect and I am guessing that is what they do best
Lori
Great experience for a corp event -- thank you again Quality Italian for such a nice night!

This restaurant used to be very special, but has become a factory. Food isn't as good as it used to be. Service is not as good as it used to be. It could stand a reboot.
Fred
Our meal was one of the most enjoyable I recall enjoying. Each dish was prepared exceptionally well and each bite was a treat. Joseph took care of us. He was attentive, energetic, and knowledgeable. If I could give him more than 5 stars I would. We will return. Often.

Very loud - too loud! We were at a square table for 4 with a wall behind us (ie not even surrounded by other diners) and had to yell/lean in to hear the person seated to either side of us never mind the person across the table. Service was B+. Food was excellent and the specials were reasonably priced.
Paula
We loved this restaurant! We dined out on the patio which was so cute and perfect for watching the passers by. The lobster rigatoni prepared table side was a huge hit and so damn good. My husband got the veal milanese and also enjoyed it. The service was outstanding. We will definitely be back for another visit!
Lauren
We ate outside. The food and service were awesome. Had been to Quality Meats but not Italian. Will definitely be back!
Meg
Good was good, but the service was just ok. We put in our reservation that we were celebrating my husband's birthday, the host asked us about it when we were sat, then no one informed our server. It took 30 min to get dessert after ordering, and they comped an additional dessert we didn't even want so it didn't get eaten. Made for a very awkward birthday celebration. At $400 for 4 ppl, I wish it had gone a little smoother.
Great food, classic NYC Italian, incredible service. Couldn't have asked for a much better experience.
Nick
Can't say enough about the amazing food and even more amazing service! This is a must go and we will definitely be back.
Nicola
All the food was absolutely stunning. The staff were extremely helpful in explaining what each dish was about. The food did not disappoint. It just kept coming! There was so much of it. We all enjoyed everything and each one of us chose a different dish. Really exceptional.

Our server was fantastic at guiding us through the menu and we're so pleased he did. Must haves SAUSAGE & PEPPER GARLIC TOAST 10/10 SPICY LOBSTER RIGATONI ALLA VODKA 100/10 CORN CRÈME BRÛLÉE 100/10 Has to be our best meal in New York and will now be a constant every time we visit NY Thanks xx

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 would 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!
