WELCOME TO Q4 RISTORANTE
Q4 Ristorante, originally known as Quattro on Fourth, opened in 1994 to unanimous critical acclaim. It immediately scored two prestigious Vancouver Magazine Critics Choice Awards for Best New Restaurant (Gold) and the coveted Restaurant of the Year (Gold). It’s been recognized by Wine Spectator every year since 2007 with an Award of Excellence.
Patrick Corsi originally opened the restaurant with his father, noted restaurateur, Antonio Corsi, but in 2009 Patrick took over ownership of the restaurant, along with a new partner, property developer Alex Bill Tsakumis of Epta Properties. Together they changed the name to Q4 to reflect a simplified, modern approach at the restaurant while still honoring its roots.
Whether it’s your first visit, or part of your weekly routine, when you step inside Q4 Ristorante it feels like you’ve arrived somewhere familiar. Whether greeted by the consummate host, partner Patrick Corsi, or the completely professional, manager Daniel Chandra, the Q4 team ensures a flawless dining experience every time.
Located in the heart of Kitsilano, Q4 embraces the senses with a dazzling array of colour and texture. Crimson washed walls, rustic wrought iron chandeliers and candlelight cast a glow upon rich mahogany tables and a beautifully hand painted floor. The restaurant offers large round tables for a friendly gathering as well as secluded nooks for romantic evenings. To some, the best seat in the house is at the bar where the award-winning bar tender, Jason Andrew holds court. During summer months the lush garden patio is a Vancouver favorite.
At the heart of the Q4 experience is the exceptional cuisine from Central Italy prepared by Executive Chef, Subraaz Abdullah. A visit to Q4 isn’t complete without an antipasto platter made for sharing. Other menu highlights are Cornish game hen; pistachio crusted sablefish; marinated bocconcini wrapped in prosciutto and radicchio, served with cherry vinaigrette; and the legendary spaghetti Q4.
Q4’scellar boasts over 400 labels with an emphasis on Italy. Also hailing from Q4’s motherland is an unparalleled collection of grappa that is as notable for its beauty as it is for its breadth.
Located in the vibrant neighborhood of Kitsilano at 2611 West Fourth Avenue, Q4 Ristorante can accommodate up to 120 guests between the bar, restaurant and patio. For reservations, please call 604-734-4444. Q4 is open Sunday through Thursday from 5:00 p.m. though 10:00 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 5:00 pm until 11:00 pm.
