Quattro is one of our favorite places to eat. We've been dining there for years. Service and food are consistently good. Nikki is our favorite server. She always remembers my daughter and makes her feel special. She is friendly and always ensures our food order is timely and accurate. read more

Food is great and came out fast. Our server, Nikki is amazing and so friendly. She was amazing with my kids!

Not only is this place good.... The service is excellent! Boo-boo was our waitress and she is so helpful not only with the menu, but the recommendations! read more

Niki M was amazing!!!! Super fast and attentive! Food was good too, area was neat as well!

The food here are very good portions and their service is amazing. You never have to ask to get a refill on your drink. They always make sure you are snacking with the free bread to dip in their oil and balsamic before you food comes out nice and hot. I got the clam linguine and it was so big, but it was so delicious and I didn't even realize I ended up eating the whole thing. My coworkers got the risotto, salmon and the daily special which was Chilean sea bass and they all loved their food. read more

First of all, I would like to say thank you to the owner for taking time to read my honest review. I just want you to know that we never stopped coming to your restaurant even after the incident because we believe in second chances. It has been a very pleasant experience so far and the food has always been good and the place has always been clean. We were just there earlier and celebrated our birthdays... Keep it up! Grazie mille! read more

We love this place! The food is delicious! And the staff are very attentive and very friendly. It's relaxing and a great place for hanging out and talking after dinner. We frequent this place and the lobster ravioli is our favorite! Yum! read more

Love Quattro! Service with Niki is the best. She was also great with our 8 month old daughter!

We came by for some lunch before doing some shopping. When we arrived there was no wait and we were able to sit for a table of 2. Before we ordered we got some focaccia bread with olive oil and balsamic vinaigrette. This was good! We ordered the gnocchi Al pesto and the sandwich with steak and brie. Both were pretty tasty. Service was good and it was a very satisfying meal. We got our leftovers to go and the staff was nice enough to pack us some fresh bread to go. read more

We came here to celebrate my dad's last day of radiation. They were lovely. Nikki is the sweetest! Also, their dirty martini and fries = the perfect hot girl dinner. read more

Great restaurant second time there. Waiter was amazing. I decided to order a margarita pizza. Big mistake. It was horrible. This is an Italian restaurant you need to do better. The dough tasted so store-bought that it should've had a barcode. The dough was I'm sure frozen and tasted like cardboard. Everyone else's meals were fabulous. Pasta alla vongole and sole fish amazing. Please learn how to make pizza. I'm sure we will be back but please take it off the menu until it is worthy of an Italian restaurant. read more

This review is based on the food and prices. Our server was very nice and she did a good job. The food however was sad, flavorless and overpriced. We both ordered two different types of chicken salads. The chicken was so over cooked and burnt it was hardly edible. The salads were soggy and although described to have several ingredients were mainly one green sprinkled with a few pieces of other vegetables. The 2 sad salads plus 2 glasses of champagne came out to $130. Don't waste your money. read more

Very good service and menu variety. My mista salad had too much iceberg lettuce. I'd return and order differently next time. My wife enjoyed her spinach salad with grilled chicken. read more

Hands down one of the best spots in the entire Plaza! Quattro Caffe is easily my go-to every time I'm here. From the moment you walk in, the vibe is welcoming. You can tell they take pride in their service and their food. Our server, Pascual, went above and beyond! He's friendly, fast, and knows the entire menu like the back of his hand. The dishes here are not only the most diverse in the whole mall but also consistently delicious and beautifully plated. Their drinks are top-tier, from their coffee to their cocktails everything is made fresh and with care. Whether you're coming for a family meal, a casual brunch, or a date night with your wife or hubby, this place nails it every single time. Highly recommend it, five stars all around! read more

Maggiano was fully booked, so we tried this Italian Restaurant at SCP instead. Ordered the mista (chopped salad) with chicken - Very good! 5 stars!.. and Bolognese - the spaghetti was al dente the sauce was a little sour than what I'm used to, but I'd still rate this dish 4.5 stars. Comes with bread and oil/vinegar. Not a fancy upscale place (hey, it's in a mall :)...but the service is excellent and the place is constantly being cleaned. But heads up, they charge 3.5% fee if you use a credit card. Yes, we will come back next time we're at SCP or have a concert/event at Segerstrom. read more

What can I say? I'm impressed. This conveniently located restaurant amongst the bustles of shopping is a must stop lunch/dinner spot. It may look small but there is an outside seating area, too. We've sat in both and my only recommendation is to add some music to the outdoor space. :) The food is very good! Considering it's an Italian restaurant, the guacamole with chips was amazing and fresh. The calamari appetizer is my favorite along with their salad and sandwich specialities. Cocktails and drinks available from their bar. Kids menu is great! Service was friendly, and I love that they are so accommodating to kids. My 4 year old loves it here and staff was so kind to her. Thank you for the ice cream! read more

Stopped in at Quattro Cafe for a quick bite before attending a performance over at Renee and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall. I ordered the Fettuccine Alfredo which was creamy and delicious...I added Parmesan for added flavor. It's a tight space...tables are close together. read more

Niki was an amazing server. Very attentive and sweet. The dirty martinis were awesome too.

Quattro Cafe definitely knows how to pack a house - literally. The place was buzzing with energy, and it seemed like they took the phrase "more the merrier" to heart when setting up the seating. The tables are arranged in a very organized fashion, but they are so close together, I felt like I was accidentally invited to the birthday dinner at the next table. It's a little tight, but hey, that's the charm of a lively Italian spot! The staff was absolutely wonderful. Our server was attentive, and the manager even came out to check on us a few times, which was a nice touch. You could tell they genuinely wanted to make sure everyone was having a good time - and with so many people celebrating special occasions, they had their hands full! It was loud, but that's just the Italian way - lots of laughter, clinking glasses, and enthusiastic conversations. My friend and I just popped in for a casual dinner, but it felt like we stumbled into a celebratory family reunion. Now, let's talk about the food. I ordered the Fusilli Salsiccia, an Italian dish featuring a mix of seafood. When it arrived, I was impressed by how much seafood it seemed to have - until I looked closer. The lobster, which looked so promising in the photo, turned out to be mostly shell with one lonely strip of meat clinging on for dear life. It's like they took the lobster out for a joyride, dropped most of it off somewhere else, and left the shell behind as a souvenir. The photo definitely oversold it. That said, the dish tasted good. The seafood that was actually present was flavorful, and the pasta was cooked well, but I couldn't help feeling a bit underwhelmed considering the $49 price tag. If I didn't know better, I would have guessed it was more in the $20 range - you know, for the portion of seafood you actually get. Overall, Quattro Cafe is a great place if you're in the mood for a lively, bustling atmosphere and attentive service. Just be prepared for close quarters and a little bit of seafood peek-a-boo. I'd give it 3.5 out of 5 stars - the ambiance and service were top-notch, but the Fusilli Salsiccia left me wanting a little more for the price. read more

Their menu looks great. They have a decent cocktail menu but they need to train their bartender. Ordered their Gold Fashion and a Negroni. Both were not done right. This review is only for their cocktails. read more

Great prices with big portions. read more

I somewhat of high expectations of this restaurant because a co-worker recommended it. I am not one for crowded places so I was reluctant because this is located in a mall. South Coast Mall to be exact bless my poor soul. Not only is it located in a packed mall but the inside felt packed as well. Since the place itself is small, with the live band it was extra loud and over stimulating for me. Food was quite pricey but not surprising. I ordered the lobster ravioli and scampi ravioli. Both were similar to each other but I would pick the scampi because it has better texture. We also ordered the calamari which to be honest, was the best dish of the night. Light batter, tender and the sauce paired well with it. The sauce was cocktail-ish, with a hint of anchovy and heat. Not sure if this is a seasonal cocktail but do NOT order the raspberry cocktail. It tasted like cough medicine and I was able to drink at most a quarter of it. Although with my low rating, I would dine here again but probably for lunch on a weekday after a shopping for 3+ hours. read more

My family Came here for Mother's Day brunch... I was exhausted from A day of shopping and really wanted a particular drink- Tuaca (Italian brandy). I was absolutely delighted when Dom came up and gave the good news. they carry it here- and we all shared a drink together! It is my favorite Italian liqueur, and I was beyond happy. Once Dominico and the fam bonded over our love for the drink, the whole experience got better and better- everything was truly fantastico! Dominico & his team provided top tier service- truly first class, and helped make this a very memorable Mother's Day. Everyone was so genuinely kind too, and are so appreciated. The food was excellent. My toddler had two servings of the lobster raviolis, devoured the shrimp, and like the fries and pizza. & kept saying "more more more"- we LOVED it. She was the star of the brunch at our table. & everyone was amazing. This was the Best Mother's Day brunch- period. Thank you again, Dominico & team! We will certainly be back! read more

Everytime we visit South Coast Plaza and pass Quattro Caffe, I noticied that the restaurant is always so croweded, sometime there is line outside. Since we don't like to wait, so never tried this place before. But last Sunday, we tried to ask the host if there was a table avaialbe, she said YES. So we have been sat right away, very happy! The place is very lively and relaxing, I felt like that i sit in the restaruant in some village of Italy since my left and right tables' customers were talking in italian which was very fun! And I love those black and white photos on the wall which are very classic and storytelling. We ordered Zuppa Di Verdure soup ($12) was good. Fettuccine Alfredo Con Pollo Cajun Style ($27) was delicious, Agnello Con Rosmarino Ai Porcini ($48) was amazing! This is one of my favor dish here now, the lamb chops are just so delicious and the side Truffle Fries are unexpectied good. After the entrees, we want to enjoy this atmosphere more，ordered desserts, cappuccino and expresso. Tiramisu ($10) was lovely, the server told us this is fresh making daily. Torta Lava Cake ($10) was great! Also there bread was so amazing! We really enjoy the time at Quattro Caffe and definitely visit again! read more

Tucked right inside South Coast Plaza, Quattro Café caught me by surprise. I settled in on the patio with a view of the South Coast hustle and sipped on a custom-crafted cocktail--made with none other than AsomBroso Tequila. The bartender knew exactly what to do with it: a smooth, aromatic blend with fresh citrus that brought out the complexity of the tequila beautifully. Always a pleasure seeing a bar treat AsomBroso with care and creativity. For dinner, I went classic: the Osso Buco with saffron risotto. Rich, fall-off-the-bone tender, and comforting in a way that only slow-cooked Italian can be. Paired with some roasted brussels sprouts and a warm welcome from the staff, I felt like I was dining at a family table--just with better lighting and a killer wine list. Quattro Café is the kind of place you stumble upon once and never forget. Whether it's date night, a business lunch, or just a moment to unwind with a world-class tequila in hand--this is the spot. -Rick read more

Quattro Cafe was so good. We ordered the seafood pasta, Prosciutto E Arugula Pizza, and the Wise Guy Salad. The seafood pasta was my favorite. They don't have it on the menu but if you show a picture or ask for it then they can make it for you. The flavors were amazing and I loved all the seafood mixed in with the pasta. The pasta, pizza, and salad all went so well together. The complimentary bread that they gave us was also very delicious. Quattro Caffe is located inside of the mall so it's very convenient if you ever crave pasta while shopping. I will definitely be back and I want to try their other dishes on their menu. read more

Great hidden spot! I came here for lunch but should've really been for dinner since I was full the rest of the day! Portion sizes are huge. There is limited seating due to this being a small space inside of South Coast but there is a bar and seating along the front overlooking the mall near the entrance so I could foresee there being a wait for seating. The food is great but does take a while to come out ours took around 25 minutes. The pizza was a tad bit burnt on the bottom and fell apart as you ate it but the taste was great. The Fettuccine Alfredo was delicious as well. Drinks are also great. My Aperol Spritz was perfectly made and not too bitter or sweet. This is a bit pricey but worth it. Will be returning. read more

Husband & I randomly decided to dine here for lunch today while shopping at the mall. We noticed the restaurant was doing well as it was packed during lunch so we gave it a try. We didn't make reservations but got lucky & didn't have to wait long at all to get seated. The Ambiance is on the smaller side but felt cozy & nice. As we sat down, we got served fresh bread with oil & basalmic vinegar. I rate this place 5 stars for the attentive & friendly service & quality of the food. We ordered the burrata & prosciutto pizza & both tasted good! Burrata was packed with flavor & the pizza was fluffy & light. The prosciutto wasn't overpowering the pizza either. Since we both like spicy flavors, we sprinkled chili flakes & the spicy oil that the server recommended on top of the pizza & it added extra punch of flavor. As for drinks, we started off with beer & cucumber martini & then ordered a glass of the red Super Tuscan to share. Everything was satisfying. We will definitely return to try their other options on the menu for dinner. read more

Another fabulous dining experience at Quattro Caffe. This place has been a favorite Italian restaurant for my family since last century ( From Armani Cafe time). The dishes are tasty and drinks are nice. On top of all is the welcome feelings from the staffs who have been working there for decades. My favorite waiter is Pascual who provides such courteous attentive friendly service and full with knowledge of the food and drink he served. Through the years I noticed that so many long time customers who request to be wait on by him. He always can tell we are in good mood or are troublesome or sad and be there for us to be comforted by his service and delicious food, then find the right moment to celebrate or comfort his old customers. With so many new restaurants open in Orange County the past few years. Having Pascual taking care of us is the key reasons for many of us keep on coming back to Quattro Caffe for years. We are very grateful having a pleasant relaxed small gathering to celebrating Spring again at Quattro as always! read more

I love this restaurant. There's nothing better than going shopping and then able to sit down to a delicious Italian meal! I came here once a year ago and ordered the eggplant Parmesan which genuinely melted in my mouth. Last night my husband and I sat down at 7:30. He ordered the famous seafood pasta which was delicious. The calamari was some of the most tender I've ever had before. I am on a strict anti inflammatory diet so I just ordered the gluten free salad and added blackened chicken. The portion for this salad was insane and the additional chicken was to do for. I will say sometimes the service is slow but the food is honestly quite worth it especially for the price, quality, and portion! read more
