Lobster ravioli, Cajun fettuccine, and their margarita pizza is amazing. If you're lucky, you get the store front bar seating to people watch. Next time, I want to try their tiramisu. We were just too full and happy already read more

Quattro Caffe - Italian Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

This restaurant was good for a quick meal. The soup was excellent, but our other dishes were just ok. It is very loud in this restaurant. Our server was good, but other personnel were very loud. It is not fine dining. read more

What a wonderful experience! If you're looking for something different to do for your birthday or any other event this is the place to host it at. Dominico is awesome. He cooks, sings and is very entertaining. What can't he do? You get a 4 course dinner where your guests get to cook. The food was fabulous, plus you get a recipe book with what you're having that night with your name on it. This was definitely a memorable experience read more

I love Quattro Cafe! I live in L.A. and dine there every time I visit South Coast Plaza, several times a year. The food, ambiance and service is excellent. I especially love the Spaghetti con Pomodoro with mascarpone cheese, the pasta with seafood, the Margherita Pizza and the chopped salad with grilled chicken! The tiramisu is delicious too! I know the friendly staff from repeatedly going there and always get greeted with a smile, a big hello and a hug. Domenico and Pasqual are two favorites! They are so warm, friendly and the heart of the restaurant! I even went to Frank Sinatra night and listened to Domenico sing and entertain us, with live music! He was so entertaining and it was so much fun! I can't wait to attend one of his cooking classes! Go to Quattro, you won't be sorry. I wish L.A. had a Quattro there!!! read more

The Service was Mediocre at best, with one waitress saving the image of the place with her mindfulness. She was the only one deserving a tip. The manager thinks he can sing and destroys the place's ambiance by pretending to be a singer, Italian music at its worst... shameless and very uncomfortable. The food was probably the most unexpected shock. We couldn't finish any of our dishes; they were mediocre, especially at the prices they sold them for. Tasteless, unmemorable, and oily, Not worthy. Unless you are starving and nothing else is closer to you, you shouldn't eat there. You will regret it immediately! read more

Went back today. Just my daughter and I. Everything was perfect as usual. Thank you Pascual and Quattro! read more

My favorite Italian restaurant in Orange County, hands down. We've been frequenting this fabulous venue for the last few years after our move from Los Angeles. The experience is only enhanced by the fabulous Bou Bou. She takes the best care of us and is always attentive, even on the busiest of days. Thank you Quattro for the best Italian in town and Bou Bou for always making us feel at home. read more

What a wonderful time we had the other evening. It's nice to have live music. The waiter was very helpful and nice.

Great Ambiance and very good service, however, food is disappointingly very ordinary.

I had the pleasure of having lunch here last week. I'm in Outside Sales, visit customers in a high Technology field. Sales has been my career for 40 years, I've been very successful. Customer Service is very important to me, I know how I like to take care of my clients and I'm critical of service I receive. My server, Brianna, was bright, beautiful, positive had a great personality, made great conversation, knew the menu very well and suggested a couple of dishes for me. I didn't have a lot of time. The dish she suggested was delicious, perfect and very tasty. I was very pleased. The service was quick, Brianna came just enough times to check on me (not TOO many), also had a very welcoming greeting by the Manager. This place has a very pleasant atmosphere, I will be bringing my clients to lunch, dinner or a glass of wine with appetizers here. I'm looking forward to having date night with my husband for Dinner. I highly recommend this place for a quick lunch and will be looking forward to having dinner here very soon. The dishes looked very inviting and delicious. Ask for Brianna, she will take very good care of you. read more

On reflection, we've decided to update our review because of Quattro's years of good food and service. We felt one minor incident with this new manager should not take away from 25 years of pleasant memories: Domenico and staff have always treated us right, the ambiance is comfortable (and fun and lively when there's music), and the food consistently and reliably good since I was a child. Go to Quattro if you're at SCP or in the area for great Italian. (I miss the bean paste, Antonio. I hope it comes back one day.)

Called to place a to go order and they asked if I worked at the mall. I let them know that I did but I didn't care for the discount. They said we don't do Togo order for employees. I called back and called a manager and they said they don't do it and I said she didn't have to say it like that she could of said we're busy but she probably just thought I wanted a discount. This is the 3rd time this happens. read more

I've been coming to this place for 5 years and so happy with the service and food! Yesterday me and my husband was at the cooking class and it was definitely something new to me. We were learning, singing, dining and laughing at the same time. I don't like to cook, do it just because I have to sometimes. The way how Domenico cooks is very inspiring. It's so easy and fun. I cooked my best Chicken Marsala in my life and he showed me how to do that super quick. I have so many great words to people who works there, especially my favorite Boubou! She is a star! We will come back soon. Just look at the pictures. So much fun there! read more

A perfect Italian wine bar. Me and the GF popped by for drinks and a snack (the creme brulee). Staff here was not too pushy and we were able to take our time deciding on the menu items. Plenty of wine choices to choose from. Great spot to stop in and take a break from the retail therapy. *Updated: we stopped by for a second day and got the pepperoni pizza... delicious.* read more

We had lunch today at Quattro and we're not disappointed. We we greeted by a friendly and welcoming food server who was very attentive to our needs and who made us laugh. The food was delicious and they have an extensive wine list. The ambiance was lively but not distracting. Overall a great dining experience read more

Horrible experience... front hostess doesn't know the name of the restaurant manager when I asked for a name.. she says they are really busy at the moment..front hostess name is Claudia.. not sure if she gave me her real name. I would like a manager to contact me to resolve an issue I have.. read more

First time here with my mom this evening. Kind staff, quick service, delicious food and drinks. The atmosphere was lively and everyone had a smile on their face. We felt bad because we sat in the area the band was supposed to play, but they were kind and reassured us all was well. I enjoyed the food and my time here, will definitely be returning! :) read more

I've been eating here for almost 30 years, since back when it was still Armani Cafe. What I witnessed today had me appalled. Food and service The bar was phenomenal as usual, but what I observed has me questioning whether I will ever return. A server was cleaning her nails with a toothpick and eating in view of guest and neither time did she wash her hands before heading to take care of her tables. read more

The place was jam-packed but they made an accommodation for us at their back patio. Perhaps because it seemed like they just opened the area for us, it wasn't spick-and-span to my standard. The food was great as usual. We had pomodoro, chicken alfredo, truffle fries which was just perfectly salted, and four-cheese pizza. The service was attentive, courteous and prompt. Worth going back to but nicer to be seated in the main dining area. read more

What a lovely little place in SCP!! The hostess started out this fabulous experience by allowing us to sit at these two seats that face out into the plaza. So much fun to dine and enjoy a glass of fine wine while watching the shoppers scurry by. Can't wait to do this during the Holidays. The food was amazing and the service exemplary. The owner came by to check on us. Nice touch. We had the pumpkin ravioli with sage butter - AMAZING!! So many other things on the menu I want to try. Can't wait to go back. Nice little break for a glass of wine or martini while shopping. read more

We stopped in for a quick meal after shopping. I wasn't terribly impressed. We started off with fries which were very crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, but lacked any salt. My lasagna was alright, nothing to write home about. It was dry. It could have done with a little more sauce layered inside. My daughters penne with Pomodoro was absolutely terrible. She thought the sauce tasty a little smoky. When I tasted it - it tasted as if the sauce had burned. You know when the sauce burns and gets stuck to the bottom of the pot, you can't keep stirring cause the burned bits get mixed into the sauce - you have to dump it into another pot to prevent spoiling the whole batch. All I could taste was that bitter char. read more

At South Coast to grab a gift at Tiffany & Co. they offered to clean her jewelry, so we came to find a quick bite to eat. Stumbled on this absolute jewel. Live music set the tone, and lively chatter filled the front dining area. Had the calamari starter- served with an incredible marinara sauce (with just a bit of spiciness) . Perfect. Had a Salame pizza (wood fired perfection) and the Marco Polo salad- everything was SUPER fresh. The only part better than the food was the service. Incredibly attentive, and not pushy at all- just genuine amazing service. Will be back again- just to visit this cafe. read more

I've been eating here for awhile so it's about time for a review. The food is always on point, my favorites currently are the rigatoni with meatballs, the shrimp salad and the Pollo alla birra. One server though is always on point, Daniela. She is quick with the orders and I've never had to ask for assistance because she handles her tables gracefully. I appreciate her hard work and friendly demeanor in this luxury dining experience. Highly recommend. read more

Nice customer Services, they have clean area all staffs are very nice. I recommend to all

Having been a patron of Quattro Caffe since I was a small child, I have watched it evolve over the years with my family. I have always held this establishment as one of the finest places to dine, however, my experience two days ago was rather lackluster in comparison. The bread plate - an old favorite of ours - was noticeably sparse, with only one style of bread, missing the array of bread-sticks, thin crunchy breads, and others, as well as lacked the oh-so-famous Quattro bean paste. When we asked our waiter about the bean paste, he merely shook his finger at us without saying a word. As a staple of Quattro, its absence was a disappointment. From the bar, I had ordered an Old-Fashioned, but to my dismay, the drink had a spoonful of undissolved sugar at the bottom of the glass. Our waiter was kind enough to switch it out for a glass of wine - but the lack of attention to detail was a bit disheartening. The salmon was served with an industrial style scoop of mashed potatoes which was likewise uninspiring, and the sage and pumpkin ravioli lacked flavor. The faux trees and hedges that had once given the place an Italian flair were now gone, replaced with more tables and seating. All in all, while I still love Quattro, it seems that they are cutting corners in order to maximize their profits. I miss the Quattro I grew up coming to, and hope that the management can focus on delivering the same quality-driven customer experience that I remember. read more

This was our first time in Quattro Cafe even though we are locals and shop frequently at South Coast. It was a Saturday and the place was packed. We had a short wait to be seated. Victor was the manager and accommodated us most courteously. The way we saw staff chatting with most guests looked like a lot of locals in there. Which meant the food must be good. Service was just fine and attentive. Prices are on par with a higher end restaurant in the plaza and food was very delicious. We will recommend this restaurant. read more

I've been here a lot of times but this time has truly disappoint me and I am never going there again. Do be caution if you're eating at the table placed outside in the back, I have been scammed by the lady employee who's in charge of the tables outside in the back. Every time the price on the check bill would be significantly off from the menu, when we ask her why is the price so much higher than it listed on menu she would act all surprised and say the manager must've made mistakes. Today we went there and ordered one each of 2 different desserts, the desserts were good but when we received the check it shows 2 orders for both desserts. However we only ordered and received 1 orders for each. Most of the other dish prices were off from the menu too. That's when we realized we must've gotten scammed many times before because whenever we sit at the table in the back and pay the check we would always feel like the bill is a little overcharged however we never bothered to check until today. If it was a few dollars worth of mistake I wouldn't even mind but this is ridicules! Every price listed on the bill were overcharged apart from the menu, we couldn't get a picture of the check posted because she scrambled and threw away the bill immediately while telling us the manager must've made a mistake. We all thought she was nice and energetic, at least that was the vibe she gave out but we were wrong. read more

Good food and great service. Linguine with clams and pumpkin ravioli are the stars in the menu

We passed by this restaurant so many times when shopping at South Coast Plaza. Last night my friend suggested that we have dinner here. I totally agree that the food was great, maybe a bit on the salty side but the flavor was good. My biggest complaint is the extra 3.5% charge for using a credit card, which we found out about when the bill came out. I understand that they want to avoid the card surcharge, taxes, etc., but I would have appreciated knowing in advance. The 3 stars is for lack of transparency. read more
