Renowned for their aged steaks, inconceivable chicken parm pie, and kale carbonara. Her the corn creme brulee, oysters, and some excellent cocktails too.
Paige CMarch 7, 2016Everything was outstanding! The service, the cocktails, the food! Don't miss the corn soufflé, the parm pizza or the raw bar! Next time we will definitely bring more people so we can try more dishes!
Eric FriedmanFebruary 18, 2014The chick parm pizza is amazing. It's HUGE so be prepared. You can definitely order a ton of appetizers and have this as the main event. Or order entrees and live a little and get one for the table!

Ms HeleneMay 20, 2018All the crudo, smoked salmon ricotta and chives crostini, freshly shucked oysters, Caesar salad, egg white frittata, breakfast potatoes and charred broccolini
Lexi NMarch 1, 2017the amazing Lobster red pepper pasta and tomato caprese salad.... best in NYC! Our bartender Vanessa was knowledgable on the wine recommendations and made a mean manhattan too!- James KiernanApril 23, 2018A good place to entertain clients or host out of towners. The chicken parm pizza is a bit gimmicky but it still puts asses in the seats. Ask for a table by the window where it’s less loud. 🍝🍕
So good. Kale carbonara was awesome. Fish was a little undercooked, didn't make a big deal and waitress saw and brought out free wine, free sides and free dessert. They are beyond attentive. A+++++
- Christopher FlossApril 30, 2017By far the best #burger I've ever had--see for yourself. If you're feeling an appetizer, try the sausage & pepper garlic toast.
- Ms HeleneDecember 18, 2014Amazing functions in private room, started with mini corn dogs, lobster rolls & torched deviled eggs. Branzino, steak or gnocchi entree options then sublime desserts. Exceeded expectations!
Andrew CJanuary 18, 2017We got salads and pasta dishes for main, plus the canoli and s'mores for dessert... all expensive, but so delicious and worth it!!! I also got the bourbon cocktail - was amazing too!
Ricky GilbertSeptember 12, 2013Wow - if you like QualityMeats you will like QI. Chicken parm is enormous but you already know this. Over order apps (including their chopped salad and eggplant) and sides (Corn Brûlée and Macaroni).
EaterNovember 7, 2013This restaurant specializes in steak, but the menu also includes raw bar items, crudo, charcuterie, pastas, roasted fish dishes, and a shareable chicken parm the size of a hubcap.
ᴡ MApril 5, 2017Best Italian cuisine in NYC.. steaks are amazingly yummy.. salads are fresh ( go with Caesar salad you won't regret it) desserts are delicious.. service is out standing. Love this place.
Mike FriedlichAugust 22, 2016Everything was perfect. Garlic bread is delicious & Tomahawk Ribsteak was huge & amazing. Also the Branzino, Balsamic Filet, Tuscan Fries, Corn Creme Brulee, Cannoli, & Cherry Rhubarb Crostata r great
Lapo BKMay 31, 2017Every return to NYC (where I live) from LA has me craving dishes. I wish Quality Italian could take a page from Alimento in Silver Lake and match their amazing chopped (Italian) salad.
Cole KennedyDecember 19, 2021Honestly? Really underwhelming. They care more about flair than fundamentals. The spicy lobster rigatoni had a distinct alcohol flavor from the tableside sauté presentation.

Ethan BregmanJuly 4, 2018Come for the famous "Chicken Parm Pizza" stay for the agnolotti pasta and brussel sprouts.
- Kev SkinnyFebruary 16, 2014Amazing food and service. For the pasta dish go with the corn Gnudi, the seafood tower was full of fresh, tasty shellfish and the octopus appetizer was my favorite. Balsamic filet is redic.
Jeff Mendels🐸hnSeptember 5, 2013Worth every bite and penny. Ordered the Chicken Parm Pizza (out of this world) and wife ordered the Halibut. Both terrific. Order the Italian Chopped Salad as a starter. Service was also excellent.
Pam R.October 28, 2013Veal Milanese is enough for 2, the eggplant balls and beefsteak tomatoes apps are delish. Amazing service, food, wine selection and atmosphere. End with the gelato. As good as being in Italy.
Akram Jamal-AllailSeptember 3, 2017This place ridiculously amazing. From the lights, the service to the food. Omg, I don't even like Italian restaurants and I felt in love with this place.
Ricky SherrillSeptember 21, 2014A nice place to go with a group. Good food and service. Order more sides than you think because they are all good. Be sure to grab a drink at the bar before dinner.
Francis UdlerApril 3, 2014Must go. Chickenparm is great. The pasta is fantastic as well. Atmosphere and service were very good and place is big. Totally recommend it. I saw they pipe cannolis to order.
MaryJanuary 3, 2016Chicken parm pizza was delicious and not too greasy! Corn creme brûlée is very very sweet, more suited as a dessert than a side. Overall very good but on the pricey side.
sheridan penningtonOctober 27, 2016The staff is great, they know good service , food and wine . They handle the most obnoxious people with pure professionalism ! The food is always amazing. Great staff!
Omar al-D 🇶🇦April 6, 2015One of the best I've tried - Get the QI Rib steak and order some steak sauce which is done right in front of you!
Gretchen MatthewsJuly 28, 2013The ambiance is very nice, you must order the drink call 57 it's light and refreshing. Had the kale salad, oysters,lobster and artichoke as a side dish.... delicious
Ali AndersonJanuary 2, 2015trendy atmosphere with amazing light fixtures and decorations, great location for a date or family dinner. great for vegetarians and gluten free.
Absolutely delicious. Chicken Parm Pizza is a must. Cocktails, pasta, oysters, and more. Obviously a bit pricy but totally worth it.
Erica CarterNovember 15, 2014Chicken parm is huge and amazing!!! The ricotta with honey was to die for! Fantastic wine menu! Ambiance is great. Just all around great!
The Corcoran GroupNovember 5, 2013Come with a date and split the ginormous chicken parm (which you may have trouble finishing), and the amazing corn gnudi.
Mary M MottaMay 28, 2015although it is pricey, you get what you pay for - especially with the meat selection. get a reservation if you don't want to wait. perfect for a special occasion.- Hakan ElmasSeptember 12, 2014Take the chicken parm, tuscan fries as sides and order the delicious ribsteak. It feels like paradise. Btw, gelati are real italian style.
Josue EvillaSeptember 29, 2016Favorite lunch spot in Midtown. My favorite burger in the city. Pair it with the Tuscan fries and go away happy. Great service.
New York PostAugust 25, 2014Instead of the steak, opt for the famous pizza-shaped chicken parm, which feeds two for just $29. Read more
Steve PolandAugust 29, 2014@darrenrovell: 1 dish you have to eat before you die? Chicken parmigiana @qualityitalian in NYC. Warning: It costs $58 http://t.co/IFLvtSH4Qa
Michael Fox-RabinovitzMay 25, 2017Very solid food, atmosphere bit busy, great fish, meat and pasta. Decent cocktails, although short menu
Harumi UNovember 5, 2013The famed chicken parm is only for dinner but there are many many other fantabulous food on their menu. People are really helpful and friendly too.
Abdulaziz SulimanJanuary 31, 2016Chicken parmesan is truly over rated but in the other hand stake was great don't miss it
Annie TolochinskiDecember 11, 2013Chicken parm will fill 3 people no problem. Or 4 if it was all girls. Service was great, perfect spot for a work dinner/lunch.
- David AsabinaApril 25, 2016The bread is luscious and the filet mignon had the crispiest scorch while the meat was medium done to perfection. You get what you pay for.
ADecember 29, 2018Good service but I didn’t like the food. Chicken parmisan it’s look yummy like a pizza but actually it’s not tasty at all 😑
Zach BergerDecember 30, 2013Delicious. Chicken parm pizza is overrated but the veal milanese is delicious and the chocolate Olive oil cake is perfetto.
I'm a sucker for Chicken Parm so they had me from the start. Also blown away by the Bistecca Fiorentina and the Baked Clams.
Mike DudasAugust 15, 2015The corn creme brûlée is a tasty delight. And the complimentary Garlic Monkey Bread -- yum!
Megan JohnsonFebruary 16, 2014Delicious: yellow tail app, sunchokes side, kale carbonara side, lemon chicken main. Chicken Parm a little overblown.
FahadNovember 6, 2016"Beefsteak Tomato Stracciatella" ( V. good). "Veal Chop Milanese" a GIGANTIC Veal Chop covered by a huge quantity of Mozzarella and yellow pepper 👎🏼I did not like it at all.
