My Wife and I have been customers of Quattros since it opened in 1997. We actually were frequent customers of the Cajun restaurant “The Blue Bayou”, which was on the site before Quattros arrived. Since those early days the building has seen a lot of alterations and refurbishment, bringing it to the attractive and comfortable restaurant it is today. We thoroughly enjoyed, in those early days, the eccentric dinner experience that the wonderful Laylo and Manuel provided. Who everyone thought were both Italian, Laylo is, however the wonderful Manuel was Argentinian ! The welcome they offered was beyond compare. And the tongue in cheek banter with diners was hilarious, some not knowing which way to take it! And they never ever forgot their customers. The funniest thing was when the owner would work the floor, and I shouldn’t say this, but I’m sure he’s more expert now, the “boys” would joke about the mistakes and blunders he would be the cause of. Never were they disrespectful, just banter, and it was done in good fun. We left for Australia in 2007, and during the 10years living there, we returned on home visits 3 times always taking in a couple of dinners at Quattros, and always remembered and enthusiastically welcomed back by the boys. Our last visit found the boys had finished up working there, and the experience was a very poor one, both food and service were well below par. They are sorely missed, and a lot of the heart and soul of the place left with them. Mainly due to working and Covid, we’ve visited only twice since our return in 2017. First time in 2018 was a bit of a disappointment, service was poor, but the food remained sublime. Since Lockdown (March ‘21) has finished and eating inside has returned, we decided to make our return to Quattros as our 1st venture back to normality. And , it appears Quattros has bounced back too! There is a fresh vitality in the place. The service was good, nothing being too much trouble at all. A great drinks menu and wine list with sensible pricing. And the food! …., oh! The Food!! Absolutely outstanding. We enjoyed a wonderful evening. Hopefully, we can get back regularly again and again, and continue enjoying the best family run Italian restaurant for miles around.
