Quattro Gastronomia Italiana

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

The Piemontese Kitchen in Mexico City

Inside the JW Marriott Mexico City Santa Fe, Quattro Gastronomia Italiana makes a clear commitment: authentic Italian cuisine rooted in the traditions of northern Italy, served with the kind of attentive hospitality that turns a meal into a proper occasion. The menu draws from legendary recipes, impeccable source ingredients — many brought directly from Italy — and a kitchen philosophy where tradition is treated as a living practice, not a backdrop.

Twin Chefs from Piemonte

The kitchen is led by Nicola and Fabrizio Carro, twin chefs who grew up in the Piemonte region of Italy. That heritage runs visibly through everything on the plate. Bon Appétit described them as cooking a "traditional and rustic northern Italian menu," while The New York Times called Quattro "a northern Italian restaurant frequented by high European society." Condé Nast Traveler noted that most ingredients are sourced directly from Italy, including the wines on what they called an "impressive" list — a wine program that earned Quattro the Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence in 2020, a recognition reserved for restaurants with exceptional depth and breadth in their cellar.

What Reaches the Table

The menu is structured around the full arc of Italian dining: antipasti, soups, salads, handmade pastas, risotto, secondi of fish and prime Angus cuts, and house desserts including gelati and sorbetti. Each day, the chefs offer daily specials — risotto, fresh fish, and cuts of the day — which the hosts explain tableside. A dedicated wine director is on hand to guide pairings.

Beyond the core menu, Quattro rotates regional Italian menus monthly, moving north to south or following the season's freshest ingredients. One standout is the Piemonte menu offered in November, which features the white truffle of Alba — the region's most prized ingredient — reflecting the chefs' own roots.

Atmosphere and Setting

Metropolitan Home described Quattro as "by far the most glamorous dining experience in the city," and the room earns that. Crystal chandeliers, warm tones, and a professional service team create an atmosphere that feels genuinely Italian in its sense of occasion — unhurried, generous, and focused on the guest. Outdoor seating is available, and the restaurant accommodates private parties with several dedicated group menus.

For anyone seeking serious Italian cuisine in Mexico City — the handmade pasta, the regional depth, the considered wine list — Quattro delivers with consistency and conviction.
