Quattro 4 Ragazze

After reading all the great reviews on this place, my family and I were very excited to give it a try. Unfortunately, I have to say that we were somewhat disappointed with the experience. Perhaps they were having a bit of an off night? The servings were generous, but the food itself was pretty average. The pizza was decent. The rice balls were nicely done. The pastas, chicken dishes and appetizers that we had, however, were very rich and oily, but only moderately tasty. The minestrone soup was very bland.
Our server was very pleasant, but the service was incredibly slow, especially given that we were pretty well the only ones there. And we would have appreciated having the dirty dishes cleared, as looking at a pile of dirty dishes throughout a meal is not terribly pleasant. There was plenty of time to clear between courses and most of the dishes were still there even after the bill arrived.
All in all, I suspect that this may be an isolated experience, and hope that this was the case as I like to support local businesses, but it could have been much better and did not live up to the great reviews. Maybe another time.

The service is friendly and warm — even on my first visit here, I felt as though I was being treated as family or at least a known, repeat patron. If the service set the right mood, the food sealed the deal. The Antipasto for 2 was generous and fresh. The Penne a la Vodka with shrimp in a rose cream sauce was flawless. Filling without being stuffy and the flavors were distinct and fresh. For dessert, the Lobster Tails did not disappoint. Crisp and flaky pastry filled with a delicious custard. One chocolate and one vanilla — hard to choose which was my favorite. It’s hard to say that any restaurant is 5 out of 5, and that is true even here. Everyone can find things that aren’t perfect. But the overall experience was excellent and deserves a good review, and it is definitely worth making the trip to enjoy a meal here. I’ll be back.

Service: excellent
Atmosphere: casual and friendly.
Food: 8.5 out of 10 overall. The penne alla vodka was absolutely perfect right down to the plump, delicious, perfectly cooked shrimp. Antipasto was very good and I especially enjoyed the pickled eggplant, having never had that before. The bread is a bit plainer than I’d like but did well when I used it to sop up every last bit of the pasta sauce. Caesar salad was yummmm.
For dessert, do not miss the lobster tails — crispy filo cones stuffed with delicious custard. So good!
We’ll be back.

If you are craving the best pasta dish you will ever have, go here!!! Decided to find the best pasta in Toronto and/​or on the Danforth. Googled it and found this as a result with some amazing Google reviews. Tried it out!
Hard to see from the outside if you are driving and searching but it’s much bigger than it looks from outside. Very clean! Nice décor, brand new cutlery, cloth napkins and the waitresses are very quick and extremely helpful!
The food is the best value for your money that you will ever find. You can tell the food is fresh, and because it is made from scratch, the wait time is just a TAD longer but so worth it!!! They are willing to tweak menu its to your liking and have something for everyone. They have all sorts of pasta.
They have tons of people walking in for pick up and it’s not hard to tell why!
Try the Rum Baba for dessert. You will not be disappointed!
I refuse to go anywhere else for pasta from now on! Love it.

I live nearby but somehow never really noticed this place before. A friend recommended it a few weeks ago, so we decided to try it out. What a pleasant surprise! We ordered 3 appetizers: the artichokes, anchovy bruschetta, and the arancini. All three were fresh and delicious. For my main I ordered the chicken calabrese, which was filled with more artichokes, olives, and peppers. Nothing was heavy or soaked in tomato sauce, the way so many Canadian Italian places prepare food. Just home-​made goodness! The owner is warm and hospitable, just as you would expect from a family-​run place. The prices are also very reasonable.
The restaurant could use a slightly cozier interior, given the kind of food that they make. I suspect that a lot of people walk by because it isn’t particularly inviting. It’s worth it to give it a try though!

A friend ordered me a Lasagna which was even reheated from its frozen state and it was still one of the best Lasagnas I’ve ever had. Why? Because they use fresh Ricotta cheese.
I’m hoping to go here one day and dine-​in to try out some other menu items. But for now, I will rate their Lasagna a ⁵⁄₅.

Their menu is esentially Italian. If you are big on red meat — try the veal or lamb. Quality cuts perfectly grilled over flame and a hungry man size at 13 oz.‘s that will sit you back on your seat. A bit scrimpy on the veggies. Fairly priced for the area and a decent décor/​ambiance. I have also had their pizza. Although more expensive than the chain stores, they use quality ingredients and are excellant. They also do a full menu take-​out incuding pizza pending order size and proximity. I’ll go back again for the pasta — the true test of Italian… There’s not much to compare with in the area and definitley one of the best places around Woodbine/​Danforth area. Recommended.

Wonderful food and beautiful décor. Relaxed and pleasant service. Excellent value.
Enjoyed the pasta and pizza. Nice selection of desserts.

Excellent Italian meal. Probably the best puttanesca sauce I have ever tasted. Definitely highly recommended.

Very cute place — family run and good food.
People were friendly and the price is definitely right. They do local delivery as well so I am excited to try their pizza next!

Had dinner with a friend here. The place was comfortably crowded but they seated us with no problem on a Saturday night around 6:30.
We both enjoyed our meals a lot. I had the chicken parmigiana and would have liked to have had some vegetable along with the pasta but otherwise it was good. Very poor selection of beer. Something from a local brewery would be nice although they did have 2 Italian beers.

This was an option that we ventured into because of Unilocal and it was well worth it. We had a great meal and the owner could not have been nicer, the food was excellent. You will be surprised…

I love my Italian food and i love this place too. My gf and I drove to actually get a rice ball from Colombo’s but they were closed for good so we decided to check out Quattro… and it was the best decision ever lol
Rice ball was so juicy inside but crispy on the outside… you didn’t even need sauce it was that good!
food was cooked by… my guess the eldest daughter and the front was run by the rest of the family. I will always support the family owned.

A great place to eat with family and friends! We were 4 people, each ordered something different and we all loved it! I thought the wait for the appetizers qas a little too long, but was tolerable. They brought the mains fast enough and made up for it. The quality/​price was very satisfying. An amazing discovery for me tonight!

HIdden gem at Danforth/​Woodbine. 4.5 stars out of 5.
My hubby and I stumbled upon this restaurant during the late lunch period; truly there is nothing much in the Danforth/​Woodbine area. But this restaurant not only serves authentic Italian food but also has the ambiance of a true Italian experience. The whole family works there, so you may be privy to passionate conversations amongst them at the bar. Loved it!
The décor is nothing to write home about, but it’s casual. We ordered the Sabrina 20″ pizza (it was huge!) and minestrone soup. Both were delicious. You can tell it was all homemade.
Overall great and reasonably priced. I’d definitely return, this time to try their pasta!

The best veal sandwich in Toronto.

The place looks and feels authentic, but the food not so. We had two dishes and both were well below par. The rice in the risotto under cooked, and way to salty. The pasta was suppose to be home made and fresh, but maybe in our case just home made. I was expecting better tasting dishes for the price.

This place is truly amazing. I struggled to find good restaurants on Danforth east of Pape which tend to be composed of 50 year old alcoholics drinking at noon. However, Quattro 4 Ragazze is simply amazing. It’s owned by an Italian family and they all work there giving it an authenticity and old-​world charm. The kids cook and serve food also. Reasonable prices. My favorite was the Quattro Stagione [sp?] — Four Seasons in Italian — pizza. Totally fresh — they make everything, even the dough. I wish they delivered, but from talking to the owner, they only want to serve the best, most fresh things — hence the no delivery or it would hurt the quality. You have to respect that! However, I’ve reheated the pizza 24 hours later, and it’s still great. Check it out if you love tasty Italian food at a decent price.
