As the Denver food scene continues to grow, we are seeing a lot of restaurants come from other cities. And Cherry Creek seems to be a hub for these transplants: Departure came from Portland, Matsuhisa came from Aspen (and Vail and California), and now Quality Italian came from the Big Apple. Most of these restaurants have given their menu a Colorado flair though, keeping some dishes special and available only in Denver. Like the baked lasagna at Quality Italian.
Husband and wife chef/partners Scott Tacinelli and Angie Rito wanted to make something fun to match the rest of the menu. They play with their food, in a good way. “Their food is fun and playful, and this dish is no different. I have found that they take classic dishes and elevate them,” explains chef BJ Wojtowicz.
