Had a lovely midweek meal at Quattro Mori while in Munich on business. Nice food and great…read moreservice. Dining al fresco added lovely atmosphere to a midweek dinner.
Food:
We ordered a roasted vegetable plate and a bresaola/cheese/mache appetizer to share, along with a bottle of 2006 Barbera d'Asti by CCC (Cascina Castlet Costigliole). Vegetables were perfect, the meat and cheese were a nice way to start off, and the wine was chosen well.
For the main courses, two of us ordered spaghetti with langoustines and bottarga, while another diner ordered the flounder. Pasta was good, but was not fresh pasta, which is what I was expecting. That was my fault, though, as I should have asked. A lot of langoustines, though, and bottarga just makes me happy. The flounder looked amazing, and must have been, as I was not offered a taste!
For dessert we enjoyed a mixed cheeses plate and a tiramisu, both of which were a great value, and the cheeses were high quality. Made that last half-glass of wine even better!
Service:
One server was handling all the tables, and he did a fantastic job. Friendly and happy despite having to handle all inside and outside tables. When we asked about the fish, he took my colleague inside to show him the filet. That was cool.
Vibe:
Italian-cafe-in-Munic-Chic. Love the outdoor seating, and it's such a mellow spot that I could hang out for a long time. It was exactly what we needed for a late dinner our first night in town, but would also be an excellent respite from the beer gardens any time of day or night.
Family-friendly:
Definitely. Italian = pasta = kids'll dig it. And trattoria = super mellow, which helps, too.
Summary:
It was a pleasure to dine at Quattro Mori. On future visits to Munich, I would definitely return and try more dishes. Would love to try their meat dishes and even their pizzas. If you are in the area, definitely give it a try. The food is prepared simply, it's tasty, and goes great with the all-Italian wine list.
