    Food: good. Service: fast. Casual dinner, in the mall! Fairly quiet ambiance. We split as portions were very large.

    Gluten Free Margherita Pizza with mushrooms
    Elizabeth M.

    If you're at South Coast Plaza doing some shopping, you should stop by this place to have lunch / dinner This place can get pretty busy so either come early or put your name down & walk around the mall. I've come here many times & the food has always been delicious. All the waiters here offer good service and they're very quick. There's a lot of great food options on the menu, they even offer gluten free / vegan options. I ordered the gluten free margaherita pizza with mushrooms and a cocktail, and they were both amazing. Highly recommend!

    We had always seen this little cafe while walking around South Coast Plaza Mall, and we decided to finally try it out during our Saturday visit. We sat at the bar overlooking the mall. Service was quick and friendly. Drinks and food came out in a reasonable time. Truffle fries were on point! Pricey, but worth it. Pizza looked better than it tasted. Overall, we had a good experience and we would definitely come back.

    Ravioli di mamma pina
    Johnny N.

    The after Christmas Lunch rush was no joke. Luckily they were able to squeeze my wife and I into the restaurant as other customers were requesting for larger tables. Service was quick and we ate and were on our merry way. The Arancini's were decent but needed more filling. The Spanish octopus was really tender and quite appetizing when drizzled with lemon infused olive oil. However the star of the lunch was the Ravioli di mamma pina. The miniature braised wagyu beef ravioli was amazing and had a lot of meat. The dish was hot and super yummy. The ambiance was loud and busy inside but wouldn't expect anything less in SoCal's best upscale mall!

    We stopped for lunch today at Quattro at the South Coast Plaza. We were both hungry and started with drinks, bread and appetizers. We both had Don Julio Blanco with club soda and three limes muddled with mint. The drinks were OK but for $21.50 each were not what we expected. Light on tequilla and heavy on club soda. This drink generally is priced around $16-$19 elsewhere. That was the first impression. The minestrone soup, Cesar salad and bread were all excellent. My wife had the Sole al limone with broccoli which she enjoyed. I had the Salmone alla Griglia which was a good cut of salmon yet virtually tasteless. Sergio was very attentive at our table and the other servers helpful as well. The wait time for the meal was a bit excessive for the restaurant not being very busy. Nonetheless the overall effort and attempt to please was appreciated.

    We drove down to South Coast Plaza to pick out my birthday present. And of course, we worked up an appetite and walked into Quattro Café. Nikki was our server and she provided wonderful service, was attentive and gave us great recommendations! We had a lovely meal.

    The veggie soup & arugula salad. (We added beets)

    Quattro is a staple for all the "ladies who lunch" after spending copious amounts of money shopping for luxury goods! It's centered smack in the heart of what I like to call LUX row. Just around the corner from Bvlgari, next to Jimmy Choo. The restaurant is bustling with fun groups of people that are enjoying very good Italian food, glasses of champagne, wine, and everything in between. It's very authentic Italian dining, and I love that it's been there for 20 years. I hope it always remains the same!. The decor is absolutely fantastic with the most beautiful pictures of classic Italian movie stars and stunnning images of Italy. The bar is also really fun and it's so good for people watching as they stroll by. It's a very "see and be seen" type of spot. Food comes out quickly and piping hot, never been disappointed. It does have a high noise level, so it's definitely not a space to have an intimate conversation in, it's more for a good time and great food. The pizzas are delicious. All of the pasta are amazing and they have a really great salad salads, fresh and crisp. It is my go to every time.l I'm at the mall. I highly recommend!

    Spaghetti con pomodoro
    Maddy A.

    Went here for lunch on a Friday and it was perfect. We had a reservation and were seated right away. The service was amazing and staff kept our drinks topped off the entire time and were super attentive. We were sat in the back on the little patio and it was perfect. We started with the focaccia for the table and it's a must-order: warm, fluffy, and delicious. I had the spaghetti con pomodoro for my entrée and loved it. Portion sizes were perfect. I couldn't even finish my plate. I'd definitely come back. Great food, great service, easy lunch win.

    I was still hungry after brunch time this morning....I had french toast w strawberries, pistachios. My wife needed to buy new pair of On sneakers at Nordtrom's in South Coast Plaza so we went to the mall 2 miles away from brunch restaurant. My wife kept saying, we need to go to italian for pasta, wine, and etc. After she tried some sneakers, some clothing, we went to Quattro right near CHANEL. Quattro cafe was her one of lunch restaurants all the time. My wife always shopped the new clothings on the weekend. She retired as a fashion designer right before pandemic. Today we both got shocked about slow and empty restaurant, not many shoppers inside mall. Well, I was hungry so I ordered lasagna w meats, my wife got only calamari as an appetizer. We had 2 glasses of red wine, Cabernet Sauvignon Napa. Quality, service: 5 stars Ambiance: casual classic Price: $25 and up for pasta I loved the red wine. My wife loved calamari w spicy dipping sauce. As my entrée, lasagna was good w lots of cheese, meats but no ricotta cheese. Overall, we had a great memory back eating, drinking some wine, and relaxing.

    Calamaris
    Jeesoun S.

    I stopped by South Coast Plaza after Yelp event. First, I got shocked about the empty parking lots in front of Nordstrom's and not many people at the restaurants and even inside mall after 12 on Sat. Wow!!!! Empty!!! I tried some new sneakers at the Nordstrom's and I said, let's eat some pasta at Quattro café. It's been a while. My hubby was not full after brunch. Haha... It was almost empty inside restaurant around 12:45. I'd never seen that empty in this restaurant. I felt so sad about the economy in CA. My hubby ordered lasagna w meats and I only had an appetizer Calamaris w 2 glasses of cabernet sauvignon from Napa. The complementary toasted breads were so good. The wine I picked was merrow, exactly my fave. Loved it! As my appetizer, calamari, so crunchy, flavorful, fresh fried as soon as I ordered. I give 5 stars for the dipping sauce and crunchy squids. Really tasty. I tasted little lasagna. Lots of cheese melted, lots of meats, but something was missing for my taste. Might be ricotta cheese....missing. Overall, the ambiance, quality, and service were good. I always had lunch break here after my 1st round research for my design for over 17 years. I missed here always packed, waiting for the tables during lunch time before pandemic. I had a good time to relax having Italian foods, great cabernet sauvignon Napa. Hope more customers come and enjoy the Italian vibe and foods just like before pandemic.

    i always walked past this caffe on my shopping sprees at south coast and thought it looked so cute and warm, and wondered if the food taste would match their interior superiority. after finally giving in, i'm sad to say i should've just admired the restaurant from the outside. we ordered the seasonal vodka pasta and the margherita pizza. both were exceptionally bland and tasted almost entirely of cream and cheese. the bill was not pretty either. can you believe it came out to be 68... yea...me neither. our waiter was a nice man but i just wished they invested a little more R&D into their recipes.

    Caesar salad
    Marshay D.

    I love this place! Been coming here for years and the food and service is always A1!! Elite Italian food and reasonable prices!! I order the penne al salmone spicy and Caesar salad that is always on point!! Soo good and filling! The service is good and they help you out pretty fast!!! Everyone is really nice here!! The ambiance is perfect! And located inside my favorite mall South Coast Plaza! They also have really good wine selections too !! I highly recommend here!!

    Best panini chicken pesto. And lasagna. Fries so yummy

    Great food. I love this place. Always nice waitresses and great service. Really good for a shopping day break.

The hash browns were crispy and satisfying. Cappuccinos were great, rich, smooth, and perfectly foamy. Just note they are nine dollars each, which feels a little steep, but they were well made.
