"Swanky though this Italian steakhouse in Cherry Creek’s Halcyon hotel may be, bottomless Bellinis are cause for slightly rowdy celebration. Drink in the vibe before settling down over an order of “breakfast risotto” with mortadella, pistachio pesto, and a fried egg or burrata toast with guacamole Genovese and oven-dried tomatoes — or go for gusto with the signature chicken parm pizza for (at least) two." - Lucy Beaugard, Eater Staff, Ruth Tobias

"This handsome New York transplant has it all: a cosmopolitan atmosphere, centerpiece main dishes like chicken-parm pizza for two and baked lasagna with filet meatballs, and a splashy brunch service featuring bottomless Bellinis. Come dessert, don’t sleep on the cannoli." - Ruth Tobias, Gigi Sukin, Eater Staff

"For its famous chicken parm pizza alone, this swanky Italian steakhouse in Cherry Creek — a sibling of New York’s Quality Meats — warrants a shoutout here. But there’s so much more to dig into, including the fabulous sausage-and-pepper toast, luscious porterhouse agnolotti, and festive birthday-cake cannoli; weekend brunch, meanwhile, features such treats as breakfast risotto topped with a fried egg and polenta pancakes as well as bottomless Bellinis." - Eater Staff, Ruth Tobias

"Old world Italian elegance meets modern steakhouse flair at this outpost of this New York-based Italian steakhouse, which opened inside Cherry Creek’s Halcyon Hotel in 2017. Choose from a filet mignon, New York strip or a 16 or 24 oz. rib steak and pair your cut with one of the more unique sides such as the corn crème brûlée and brussels sprouts calabrese." - Josie Sexton, Gigi Sukin, Paul Albani-Burgio

"Last but not least, this Cherry Creek chophouse offers not one, not two, but three different tableside experiences. At dinner, the lobster that tops the rigatoni gets flambéed in vodka sauce on the mobile burner. (The baked clams are sauced when served too.) For dessert, eaters can watch as the cream’s piped into a birthday-cake or chocolate-coffee cannoli. And come brunch, the roving Bellini cart’s in business to ply diners with the namesake libation in flavors like white peach and cucumber-lime." - Ruth Tobias

we ate at the bar, had an amazing service by the bartender with very good and delicious recommendations. From appetizers to dessert we got an amazing experience. Had the pesto pasta which was delicious, steak was cooked perfectly. a very special wine selection and a decadent and generous dessert. Thank you for the amazing experience!

Great service, friendly atmosphere, easy to reserve a table ahead of time. Main courses were delicious, and the wine pour was generous! Only critique is the ricotta appetizer. It wasn’t bad, but boring and simple. Not sure I’d pay $19 again for that simple rendition of pine nuts and ricotta.

Made reservations the day before and had no issues with seating. The atmosphere is unique and not lacking in personality. The menu is small and obviously carefully curated. My only qualms with this restaurant is that while the food is visually enticing, the dishes are completely lacking in flavor! I’m not sure if I’m missing something with Italian dishes…..or……what…..but it definitely left me wanting more. The gelato was really good, though!

My expectations were that this restaurant is a bit high scale, higher quality of service and food, and upscale in general. Unfortunately, this wasn't it as mentioned in other reviews as well. Booking a table is a bit difficult online. Coming in, the restaurant is a bit hidden inside the hotel. The atmosphere is nice. Low lit in general. The menu doesn't have pictures. Some description, and changes continously. Our server was really good. He checked on us often, explained the menu, gave his recommendation, and generally delivered high quality service. The food wasn't that flavorful. The safe options were better than trying something new. The bread and olive oil was not bad but it still lacked flavor in the olive oil. Once the food came, there was another person that put it in the table along with anything that came with it like cheese and mushrooms. This person was chaotic. Delivered the food without care, moving plates and drinks, and in the way they brushed the mushroom too. The prices are definitely inflated and the entire menu is over priced. I know they're trying to deliver an upscale experience, but this isn't it.

Everything was fantastic here! We started with a couple of specialty cocktails before diving into the food. Our waitress brought the bread sidecar with whipped ricotta, honey, and pine nuts. It was a perfect blend of sweet and savory. The Little Gem Caesar salad was easily the freshest Caesar salad I've ever eaten. For the entrees, I did the Cacio e Pepe with Shaved Truffles, and it was just as wonderful as the dish I had in Rome. My boyfriend has the Dry-Aged Porterhouse Agnolotti with the most decadent sauce. We were celebrating my birthday, so we decided to get dessert too. The tiramisu was delicious, with mouthwatering presentation. Highly recommend!

Fantastic cocktails! While some find it a bit loud, I share the sentiment that the food is on the pricier side; however, I still relished the experience. The service was pleasant, though I sensed the waiter had a lot of tables to manage, affecting the perfection of the service

Excellent experience! The bread was truly exceptional. Although the homemade pasta was a bit thick, it still tasted great. I wish there were more choices for homemade pastas. The waiter was incredibly friendly and accommodating. Initially, I was surprised with a blood orange gelato, which I didn't enjoy. However, the waiter noticed and kindly replaced it with a delicious cream cheese gelato. Overall, a very enjoyable visit.

Absolutely amazing experience on Thanksgiving night. The oysters were fabulous and the bread that is served I have no words for! I had the spicy lobster ravioli which was very rich and the presentation at the table is gorgeous where the sauteed the lobster then add it to the pasta. My boyfriend had the classic filet that was cooked perfectly. The cannoli was huge and delicious and also the table side presentation is wonderful! The service is top notch and the staff works incredibly well together. Our server Randy, was knowledgeable, professional and most of all fun and welcoming. I can't say enough good things about our experience!
