Quattro Caffe/ Q4 Catering Review

Always love getting a quick bite here. The service is very good and the food is always consistent and delicious. Portions are very generous. Love the seafood!

Tasty
suitable price
Beautiful atmosphere

Good restaurant in a nice shopping mall. Italian food that you can enjoy comfortably while shopping. It's delicious and the atmosphere is good.

Latte is not good at all. Service is great. This barista, Oxxxxxxo Sxxxxxz, told me to pay Venmo, I thought no touch is not bad so I paid. But I realized, it s his personal account..

Only had a glass of wine as they were closing. The bartender was very accommodating and friendly.

Delicious, well-made food. Tasty wine. Good lighting.

Italian restaurant in the full sense of the word, especially pizza and risotto..and its prices are high

Decent setting good food and service, reasonable prices

Excellent food, wine and service. Great location for people watching and if you are alone ...sit at bar, small but fabulous! Not a kid place...upscale adult eatery.

Look at the bottom of pizza...it is so burned. I think they never clean the oven and grill. And I believe that Prego is much better than its spaghetti.

You should ask if the patio is available.
I didn't expect that the pizza would be so good. Nothing to say about the Salad.
4star review is because of the price

Great food, excellent & fast service. When you get there ask for Boubou.

This is our second time here and the food, ambiance and company is great.

Love the salad and Fettuccine with chicken here. They have good Italian food here. Like their pasta dishes here. Someone removed my pictures so - 2 stars here

I really liked the food and service, good location very close to my residence. The cashiers are always very kind. Would recommend to others.

Great service and amazing fresh seafood! Our waiter was super kind and recommended these amazing dishes to us. The calamari, and seafood pasta was so delicious! Kid friendly, and owner came around to ask how we were doing very personable! Definitely will be coming back here for the delicious food and great service!

Very excellent service and the food was outstanding super delicious

Lots of choices for salad. Everything we tried was delicious. I have no hesitation recommending Quattro Cafe for anyone visiting the South Coast Mall.

I was here for an early dinner (the time slot in which most people have happy hour). I only had 30 minutes for dinner before volunteer training. I asked Kelly (if I remember the server's name correctly) if the Pollo alla Birra took a long time to prepare since I had a limited amount of time. He told me that it would take 10 minutes. Awesome!

In 10 minutes, I had a plate of subtly seasoned (the taste of lemon was dominant for those who like hints of lemon). The broccoli had a garlic seasoning which was good. I loved the asiago mashed potatoes. It's not often a restaurant puts asiago in their mashed potatoes but it's an excellent idea.

In terms of service, I didn't have to wait for the bill or the takeout box (the portions are generous). The coffee I ordered towards the end of the meal were put in a to go coffee cup. 2 questions: Was my server psychic? This type of upscale restaurant has to go coffee cups?!

Needless to say, this has been one of the most magical, seamless restaurant experiences I've ever had and I dine out a lot. The next time I'm in town, I'm coming back to try other dishes!

I really enjoyed the service, the food, the atmosphere. Need to make a crab ravioli

One word: rude. Tried to make a reservation, but the lady at the front said it's fine if we don't because they are not busy. This is during Mother's day. We just want to make sure so we tell her to write our name. However, when we arrived there at our time, she skipped us and gave the table away. We called the manager and neither of them apologized. Worst service ever! If you want a classy meal, eat somewhere else where you have to overpay for good service as opposed to terrible service. Saddest Mother's Day because well, they were rude and didn't apologize. One word makes a difference: sorry. They need to learn that word.

Super tasty Italian restaurant , their seafood pizza is second to none , amazing service with very delicious food , their babaganoush was very good too .

It is a magnificent place very nice people a great attention I like the place

Excellent food and music. Highly recommend this place

Quattro Caffe is such a lovely restaurant with live music in the evening, wonderful food and excellent service, a welcome escape from a crowded mall!

Food and service both excellent! Great place for lunch while shopping.

The coffee I ordered had a fly and the milk was dirty with a small hair . For sure it was the worst experience I had ever.

Food is overall great, pepperoni pizza a little more on cheesier and greasier side than I'd like. However, it may be silly to say, but the ice water with lemon slices is so refreshing and crisp tasting. Service is good, and while I know it's located in a mall, can get loud due to crying babies both inside and outside the restaurant.

Quattro is the best food in town period! Thanks to Miriam, Pasquale and Dominico. Thank you guys so much!!! We appreciate you.

Very tasty food, very pack all the time, good choices.. overall great place.

What a pleasant surprise. Pricey but excellent quality and service.

Love this place!!! Cute bar, great appetizers, live music on the weekends. Ask Domenico what you want to eat and he'll make sure you get it after asking a few key questions.

Excellent service! Loved the staff! Quaint dining area with a decent selection of good food.

Had a great time, great food service was great and best of all the life entertainment was great that guy can sing and sounded very good thanks Amen!

Food good but singer April on tues made the entire time i was there worth the trip

Tasty Italian restaurant with live music & good service.

So here goes another 5 star review to this restaurant yes it goes to the fantastic food good service Live entertainment on the weekends which is rare for Orange County this is not a boring restaurant We actually had the pleasure to be there a few nights ago back as the boss himself diminaco Hosted a event gypsy king nigth Fantastic guitarist we ate we dance we drink what more can you ask for inside South coast plaza Cheers to diminaco For his inspired dishes From his country Italy fantastic performances on the weekends and special events that keep us dancing till midnight As a food critic in a travel reporter for Southern California trust me you don't want to miss this place Or they're special events

A hidden gem in South Coast Plaza! The food and service was excellent. They have live music every night as well as cooking classes and theme nights. Can't wait to go back!!

I enjoy going here when they have live music. The pizza was good and I love the fatoush salad.

The salad we ordered was great, the pizza was cold when they served us, one of the guys split wine on me and only say sorry. It is a very busy place, so you should have patience, it takes time for them to get your order.

Good place for a coffee date. Live music not needed.

The outside seating is very cool - reminds me of Little Italy and getting awesome italian food while sitting along the street. Their cocktails are solid and consistent (oh and delicious!). Had the salami pizza and it is clear they have an official pizza oven here - the dough was perfect! My companion had the spaghetti bolognese and it was top notch - texture and flavor were amazing. This was my first time here and I am definitely coming back (soon!)

The food and service are extraordinary. I had a simple meal of chicken piccata, fettuccine in white wine sauce and an exquisite chardonnay. Wonderful!

Good food and great service by Boubou! Had a great time. The grilled lamb with risotto al tartufo was excellent! Special of the day. Dessert chosen by Boubou was yuuummy! Baked apple a la mode!

Very busy restaurant South coast plaza good service and friendly food was good been there 3times

BoBo is the best waitress and takes good care of you while you are eating all the food is amazing and desserts are delicious too

One of the best Italian food you'll ever eat and the best pizza in Southern California in my view, Is our family favorite Italian restaurant!

Good service, nice music, pizza dough is burnt, Panini wasn't toasted to perfection, salad had hair in it.

The price of their food is for a fine dinning and the taste does not live up to it. The authentic Italian taste is not there. It's all aesthetics. Their pizza taste like shakey's pizza. Olive garden is better in taste, experience and price. One of the review says their rude and I will agree on that. They want you in and out fast even though you ordered a lot and you're with a huge group.

We've been coming here for many years. Thet prepare their pasta daily so if you're not used to fresh pasta, be aware. Their carpacio is delicious, the have great quality meat, and their coffee is very good. Give their creme bruele a try and order things like linguini with grilled shrimp off menu. Enjoy!

We sat out on the patio which they allowed a group to smoke cigars. The lasagna was gooey and we sent both our orders back Later that day we had upset stomachs for several hours.

Huge servings. Good pasta. Haven't tried their pizza because there no more room. Very friendly staff. The outdoor seating was very crafty too. They making it work.

Great little Italian spot in south coast plaza. Great for people watching. Amazing carpaccio. They have a seafood Mac and cheese that s super creamy, rich and mouthed watering. It s a little pricey, but a good spot. The manager is Italian and super friendly and welcoming.

Favorite dining experience in South Coast Plaza. Not a fan of the new oversized menus.

I love this restaurant, amazing ambiance and delicious Bolognese along with spectacular service. One of my favorite restaurants in OC.

Great italian food and friendly staff. Buonissimo! I loved the potato and onion soup. Thank you guys!

Seriously one of my favorite dishes is there basic pasta dish. Pomodoro sauce on point.

The place is extremely clean, the food is good the service is normally extremely good if not a little slow but Friday night when they are packed water refills are nonexistent and the staff are clearly very busy and rushed which shows. With that said I will be returning and would recommend anyone to go.

Poor service and very expensive for a cafe. Yes, the food is good, but for an upscale cafe that charges a mandatory 18% gratuity, the service is terrible. I don't mind paying a nice gratuity if it's warranted, but it took 30 minutes to get our order. And my Diet Coke over 10 minutes to arrive at my table. I had to ask twice. I won't go back. Doesn't matter how good the food is. I refuse to leave a mandatory gratuity for poor service.

Very good Italian dining with good service. Hard to believe it is in a mall.

It's crowded and noisy. The order has to wait a long time. The staff is very friendly. Skewers from salmon liked!

Great upscale restaurant I have been coming here for many many years even so it is pricy but you pay for the quality not the quantity

When my significant other wanted to come here for his birthday lunch, it was an unexpected delight. I love Italian food and people very much, having spent eight years with an Italian family before. My significant other's father goes to Italy every year and loves to spend time in Como. Few restaurants in the United States that we've been to have felt Italian, and this was one of them.

When you come here, nearly entire shopping center scene disappears from your senses. The interior cleverly uses a more honeyed wood color from floor-to-ceiling, creating a more cocooned, relaxed setting. The ingredients used here are fresh and fabulous. It is essentially what food should be but in the United States a lot of things are overly processed and our agricultural industrial complex farming makes for produce lacking in flavor.

I was pleasantly surprised by the tomato sauce tasting just like what I had remembered of a freshly made tomato sauce according to a Nonna's recipe. I hadn't tasted this in almost a decade.

We had spaghetti con polpette and pizza with prosciutto and arugula. The crust, pasta, and bread all had great texture and taste. I loved the bitter bite of the arugula. Imported cheeses were delectable. The meat in the polpette was fresh, the polpette were dense and generous in portion. Pasta was undoubtedly al dente. I love, love, love tomatoes, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar. The olive oil and balsamic vinegar had a beautiful, ripe fruity taste.

The European Union bans an artificial growth hormone that is used a lot in American dairy (rBST, synthesized from a strain of e coli) which some people have adverse reactions to. These reactions can be in creases of inflammation in the body, adrenal and thyroid problems, cystic acne related to hormonal problems, and migraines. My significant other and I have these health issues when we eat dairy with rBST but we had none of these reactions to the foods that we ate at this restaurant.

Speaking of Nonna's, I was curious about a photo of a chocolate cake and a flourless chocolate cake described as a torta della nonna dessert menu. A torta della nonna is a lemony custard tart, isn't it?

We had a white chocolate, berry, pistachio, and cream cake that was utterly delectable. One of the best things we've ever eaten.

The people who work here are very attentive and congenial. We appreciate their warmth and hospitality very much. We'd love to keep coming back.

And, their selection of music is primo.

Best Italian restaurant in southern California. Be it pizza, pasta, risotto or anything else you want, it is just DELICIOUS! And service and atmosphere is just equally superb! Highly recommend this restaurant.

Great place to eat after a nice day of shopping, or just taking a break in between. Delicious!!! Need I say more???
