We were a party of 10 including g two young children. Staff were wonderful. Our server was very attentive. We had delicious appetizers of fried zucchini, calamari and bruschetta. All really tasty. Everyone loved their choice of pasta, veal and pizza as well as the food was very plentiful and came to the table very hot. Once again we were delighted with our meal and did not feel rushed. Thank you Vivaldi staff!

We arrived at Nora Gray and had to wait about 30 minutes to be seated, but they graciously offered us a complimentary glass of bubbly while we waited, which was a nice touch. Once seated, the service and food were absolutely excellent. The staff was attentive and the dishes were delicious. Despite the wait, we had a wonderful experience and would definitely go back.

Oh my this was a super fabulous place. The pasta with Ragu was better than in Bologna! Really. Veal with lemon and capers to die for! Quattro is a beautiful restaurant and the service was superb. First time ever in Montreal. I’d go there again in a heartbeat. Beth from Massachusetts, USA
