Delicious dinner at the Russian Tea Room! My husband had the sea bass and I had the scallops. The atmosphere is as romantic as it ever was. The prices are a bit high, but the food was wonderful and this is a special place. It’s a New York icon for a reason. On a side note, any negative reviews I’ve read were for tea. Despite the name, I don’t think this is really a tea place. Go for dinner, and you won’t be disappointed. All the dinner reviews were glowing.

We were there on a Saturday morning reservation for 4 at 11:15am. However it’s a more of a walk in first come first serve basis. We still waited for about an hour to get seated. However, the food and atmosphere was all great! So the wait was worth. Portions were large. Taste was great. Offers healthy choices and organic eggs. We ate comfortably.

We had an excellent experience af Bad Roman. The babka, truffle penne luongo, short rib papparadelle, and chocolate torte were all to die for. Some of the best Italian I've had outside of Italy. And they gave my wife and I a card and a glass of champagne for our anniversary. Great experience!

This was our second time to eat at Quality Italian. We are from Texas and will come back every time we are in the city. Our waitress Natasha was incredible! She went over the whole menu giving her recommendations. She was attentive the entire meal and went above and beyond for us. The food was a 10 out of 10! We had the oysters, Caesar salad (the best one I’ve ever had), filet au Chianti-poivre (the sauce on this is amazing), black truffle cacio e Pepe, pistachio gelato, and Natasha gave us the burnt marshmallow gelato because she said we just had to try it. She was right it was delicious! We left happy and full! 5 stars for Quality Italian!!

This was a treat for Valentine’s Day ( we fly home on Valentine’s Day ) I prefer a big meal at lunchtime and this place did not disappoint, the service from the front door to everyone that brought our food / drinks and cleared up was excellent. The food and ambience were fabulous and add the great service and it makes it one of the most enjoyable meals of my life We started with the butter service garni ( I had read about it ) and a couple of cocktails, the drinks were lovely and the butter service was all and more than I expected. We had the steak frites and a spiced chicken Caesar salad but here’s also fantastic with a glass of the house Cabernet Sauvignon for he with my steak and a Provence rose for my wife very tasty I enquired about the opera cake ( it’s only fir dinner service ) but we turned our frowns upside down when the salted caramel gateau arrived and was a beautiful show at the table and was sublime along with a couple of lattes we had the most wonderful dining experience and by New York standards it was a bargain at $250 plus tip Honestly treat yourself to a great meal and experience and eat here
