I wish I could give this restaurant 6 stars. From the moment we arrived, we were treated like family. We asked them to choose the wine and the food, figuring that they knew the menu better than we did, and we were right. Each dish they brought was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Finally, the cost is very reasonable for what it is. We will definitely return!

I rarely give a restaurant 10/10 points, but Quattro mani deserves full points for both the food and the service. The steak was perfectly cooked topped with delicious potatoes. The pasta was also very good, marvellous choice of herbs! The staff was very friendly and professional and made us feel welcomed. Big recommendation for this restaurant.

The food, service, and ambiance of Ristorante Quattro mani is unbeatable. Everything my wife and I had was fantastic! The truffle ravioli and citrus crusted swordfish was out of this world. We ended the meal with the classic limone granite. Very attentive staff, too! Highly recommend.

Having studied Gastronomy and Hotel business and coming from a family or restaurant owners, I rarely give 5 stars for all fields or let alone write a long review. But for Quattro mani I happily make an exception. What you can expect here is a change of mind from what you believe is good food. It is simply better here. Each dish cooked to perfection. The ingredients they use cannot be fresher, organic and carefully sought out. Is this a Michelin restaurant with fancy or sophisticated cooking methods? No. Is that what a restaurant or gastronomical experience should be? No. Here you will find what we as humans seek for when we want to find ‘the best restaurant’. Or ‘the food experience you will come back for and talk about for years to come. This has become family to me, and after having been here 6 times. I cannot wait to come back. Grazi Quattro mani.
