Quattro Ristorante

"One of the finest places in the city"- that's what I had heard about Quattros from a lot of people around me & so i decided to dine there one Sunday evening with a group of 10 people!! And i wasn't disappointed, plus was worth the wait..

If you're looking for some good Italian and Mexican cuisines, vegetarian food and good ambiance, Quattros is the place to go. A place at par with Little Italy, it has made quite a good reputation  amongst all the Gujus  and vegetarians in the city!! The setting is very contemporary and elegant, giving a very European feel. 

Well, the Ristorante has given a lot of thought to the menu which consists of a variety of soups & appetizers, a wide array of salads, pizzas, pastas, risottos and desserts. Every dish we tried here was amazing and all of us couldn't get enough of it. I'm one of the persons who likes to experiment with different cuisines and dishes, so we ordered different dishes starting with soups right up til the desserts. We had ordered the Minestrone soup which had chunks of vegetables and pasta in it. It tasted quite nice. Appetizers such as Bruschettas and Crostini della Casa were topped with Garlic sauce, sundried tomatoes, bell peppers, cheese, etc etc..were a delight. It gave a good taste with lots of cheese on it. 

The thin crust pizzas are baked the Traditional Italian way in a wood -fired (brick) oven. The taste of the pizzas  (which is very good)  is very different from the ones you usually have at the Dominos and Pizza Huts of the town. The pizzas were baked to perfection. To top it all, they say that they use special Italian tomatoes for the authentic taste, which I apparently am ready to believe owing to the fabulous taste. Here we had the Margherita (plain mozerella cheese with olive oil) and the Mediterranean Pizza (just for the sundried tomatoes, which i really like). The pastas were a perfect blend of rich cheese and sauce. We had the Primavera followed by risottos which was again creamy and the taste of the typical Italian herbs was perfect. Just imagine how the Fondue turned out..!!! The plate was wiped out in 2 mins..!!  

The Mexican Mainfare comprises of Burritos, Quesadillas and a few more dishes, were great too. The condiments added were simply spicy, creamy and acidic for which the Mexican cuisine is known worldwide.

As you'll know that I have a deep love affair with desserts and chocolates, I couldn't have left the restaurant without having tried atleast 2-3 of them. What actually tempted me more was, as soon as I entered the Ristorante they have showcased all the desserts available there. The showcasing was soo tempting that you're bound to save some space for the delicious looking desserts (A good strategy used to have the customers stay back for desserts too!! #JustSaying). We all shared a Tiramisu which was yuummmmmm. It had the right amount of coffee, and was topped with whipped cream and powdered coffee. The picture on the right is the Tiramisu. We also indulged in chocolate fudge with vanilla ice-cream which had a chocolate made cage around it. I wouldn't want to spoil the fun for you if you choose to try this invade this place. 

One must visit this place especially the pure veggies. The ambiance is elegant and good. the services so far so good. The food taste & quality- I give a thumbs up. There's lots more to this place which I havn't described and which I havn't discovered. :D

Keep Hogging!!
