What makes Quattro’s kitchen different from other Italian restaurants?
Quattro’s kitchen is unlike most Italian restaurants in Boston. Our space houses three distinct cooking methods under one roof: a custom-built rotisserie, a charbroiler, and an authentic Neapolitan brick-style pizza oven. This combination allows the kitchen to prepare fresh meats, seafood, pork, and poultry using traditional techniques, often right in front of guests.
For first-timers, this means your meal isn’t limited to one style of cooking. You can enjoy the smoky char of a grilled entrée and the crisp, blistered crust of a wood-fired pizza in the same sitting. Take a look at the full dinner menu to see the range of dishes each cooking method produces.
Which Cocktail Should First-Time Guests Order at Quattro?
If there’s one drink that defines a first visit to Quattro, it’s the DRINKTHAT Espresso Martini. This bottled, award-winning cocktail blends real espresso with hazelnut, vanilla, and cacao notes, creating a rich, smooth finish that’s become one of Boston’s most talked-about drinks.
Beyond the espresso martini, our cocktail list offers plenty of range. The Negroni (Hendrick’s, Campari, Antica Carpana, orange bitters) suits guests who prefer something bold and bitter, while the Passion Fruit Martini, made with Absolut Vanilla, Chinola passion fruit, and a Prosecco float, leans bright and tropical. Guests craving something smoky and spiced should try the Inferno, made with ghost pepper-infused spirit, cucumber, and jalapeño.
What Food Should I Order on My First Visit?
Because our kitchen spans rotisserie, grill, and pizzeria cooking, first-timers benefit from ordering across categories rather than sticking to just one. A rotisserie or charbroiled entrée showcases the kitchen’s custom equipment and highlights the quality of our fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Pairing that with a Neapolitan-style pizza from the brick oven rounds out the meal with the char and chew that only a true wood-fired crust can deliver.
Dining with a group? Ordering a mix of rotisserie, grill, and pizza dishes lets everyone sample the kitchen’s full range family-style, which fits naturally with the communal spirit of Italian dining.
