Quattro Restaurant and Bar

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

Where California Produce Meets Italian Tradition

At Four Seasons Hotel Silicon Valley in East Palo Alto, Quattro Restaurant and Bar offers something increasingly rare in the Bay Area tech corridor: a dining room that slows you down. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with natural light, sweeping views frame every meal, and a recent redesign by HBA San Francisco layers warm textures, curved leather banquettes, and timeless art into a setting that feels both polished and genuinely comfortable.

Executive Chef Jacques Swart anchors the kitchen around traditional Italian recipes, drawing on California-sourced ingredients to keep the cooking grounded in place. The result is Italian cuisine that reads as familiar but tastes distinctly of the region — breakfast, lunch, brunch, and dinner menus each reflecting that same discipline.

A Room Built for Every Hour

The space shifts character through the day. Mornings bring an "epic breakfast" bathed in sunlight through those tall windows. Midday sees the room transition into a setting for power lunches. Come evening, the bar — centred around a fireplace with curved leather seating and deep blue accents — creates a quieter, more intimate atmosphere. Window-side seats offer a perch for cocktails or a glass from what Wine Spectator recognized with its 2025 Award of Excellence, a distinction that speaks directly to the depth and curation of the wine program here.

Private Dining and Seasonal Events

Beyond the main dining room, Quattro maintains a private dining room for up to twenty guests, where the team can arrange custom menus, wine tastings, bespoke floral arrangements, and a meeting with Chef Swart himself — a level of attentiveness that reflects the Four Seasons context without feeling corporate.

Seasonal programming adds further dimension. Wine dinners — such as an evening with Quintessa Winery featuring butter-poached white asparagus, West Coast lobster, and slow-braised beef cheeks — sit alongside livelier events on the Quattro Terrace. The Italian restaurant's range, from a quiet weekday lunch to a curated multi-course dinner paired with serious California wines, makes it one of the more versatile dining destinations in Silicon Valley.
