Private Room

Quality Italian's private dining rooms transform group celebrations into theatrical Italian-American feasts, where towering platters of their famous chicken parmigiana and dry-aged steaks become the centerpiece of animated conversations in sleek, intimate spaces steps from Central Park. The 57 Room creates an exclusive atmosphere for smaller gatherings, while The Trophy Room accommodates larger parties with the same attention to bold flavors and generous portions that make this Midtown West destination feel like a sophisticated neighborhood trattoria. When you combine both rooms, you're hosting an event that guests will reminisce about long after the last bite of their legendary chocolate hazelnut cake.

  • private birthday party, party of 30
    10/10! I recently hosted a small (30 people) private party in one of the event rooms for my mom’s 80th birthday. Matt was the party coordinator and he did an all around outstanding job helping us to plan a beautiful event. He was responsive, flexible, and a pleasure to work with! The food was delicious and plentiful, and the staff at the event were friendly, available, helpful, and extremely professional. I also highly recommend the local florist Rosa Rosa for floral arrangements on the tables. Matt worked with my aunt (before the event) to set up a slide show (she brought and set up the computer monitor). My brother was able to stream and play curated music via a playlist on Spotify. The last hour turned into a dance party! Highly recommend for anyone who wants to host a private event. My favorite foods of the night were the filet mignon, crème brûlée corn, fried calamari, meatballs and the tiramisu dessert. We will have to go back to try the chicken parmesan pizza!
  • birthday group dinner, party of 20
    It took me over a month to write this review because of how disappointed I have been from this restaurant. Booked a party of 20 people. Went through over 10 email chains of explaining please do not add pork in the pre-fix dishes I am selecting. The restaurant acknowledged that. Then about 20 people show up for a 830pm reservation get seated at 850. And you order your app, and fried calamari has bacon bites all over it & not realizing you take a couple bites to realize there is bacon all over the calamari. First off- who puts bacon on calamari? Second- how the heck do you not advise your culinary staff. I don’t eat pork due to my personal beliefs, but has I been allergic this restaurant would have killed me! A birthday celebration all ruined! That about 20 people got up and left and didn’t want to even eat. Not only that at 1040pm the entrees had just started coming out. Which was after we all started to get up, since we decided not to stay there any minute longer. Didn’t even get to order a second round of drinks. Not only that - it wasn’t until I emailed the restaurant about the situation they cared to talk about it. Till the date, the restaurant has failed to even reach out to me after speaking to multiple people upon making the booking. So when a customer wants to make a reservation 6 people will answer and when they mess up BIG TIME, not a single call came my way until I reached out. PATHETIC!

  • private room birthday
    We had a birthday party in their private room, and it was absolutely amazing. Top notch service and the food was outstanding. The staff were great and extremely attentive. Would love to try the regular dining area next time we return.

We had a party of nine, and the waitresses were super attentive - everything came out smoothly, course after course Our favorites: Starters – stracciatella and prosciutto Pasta – lobster and truffle And the chicken parm pizza 😋 The interior is great, the restaurant has several rooms, and all the tables are set up for large groups
