Chef Frank Bonanno dug into his Sicilian heritage and east coast roots to create this authentic, rustic Italian eatery. Luca has amazing personal touches from the daily made breads and pastas to the meats and cheeses cured in house, to the charcoal drawing of Bonanno’s son (and the restaurant’s namesake) that hangs in the dining room. Luca is heartwarming and satisfying from the wood-fired pizzas to the hand-rolled pastas to the perfectly seared proteins. It’s not your ordinary pile-of-pasta-and-sauce Italian joint; it’s the real (and tasty) deal.

    Absolutely wonderful new restaurant in Denver. The ambiance is perfect for an elegant date night. Drinks were on point. Food is on point with familiar Vietnamese flavors and french influences. The service was also great, with the server being knowledgeable, coat check, and check-in being on time. Friendly staff and great experience overall. The price is high, but I think it is respectable for the neighborhood.

    We enjoy Izakaya Den and understand that it has complex menu choices, which we consider a feature (not a bug). However, our waiter managed to make the menu more confusing rather than easier to navigate. We couldn't tell whether he was trying to "sell" us on items, provide information, or just hear himself talk! He got very far afield on the preparation of Tuna Collar and then discovered that he was describing a totally different dish. He also laid-on a thick layer of jargon, i.e "flavor profiles", etc. instead of speaking with clarity. The experience at Izakaya Den is already very good and didn't need to be embellished with BS. Fortunately, since one in our party has serious allium (onion/garlic) and gluten sensitivities, the order was placed correctly. We'll definitely will return again, and just hope we don't get the same waiter! Yeesh!

    We love QI. The owner clearly carefully crafted the menu, and the cuisine is unrivaled in Denver. We started with the honey-ricotta, little gem Caesar, and friend calamari - all excellent. The pesto, lemon charred chicken, and spicy lobster rigatoni alla vodka are among the best dishes I have ever tasted, including in Italy. They also have an excellent wine list with a broad range of fine options from Italy, France, and the US. Service has always been terrific each time we go. A great restaurant, full of ambiance, and character, Quality Italian remains one of our favorites.
