Cafe Quattro for the Best Pizza, Salads and More!
I love this place!
Walking down Somerset Street one afternoon, with my Lady, we stopped to look at the menu in the window of Cafe Quattro.
We'd passed by the restaurant many times before but never stopped, this time we did.
We didn't feel like cooking that night so we ordered a pizza to go.
"Gennaro" was the style we settled on, a thin crust pizza made with marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese, roasted red peppers, artichoke hearts, and sliced onions!
First of all, this was a 20" pizza for under 10 bucks!
Second, this pizza was the best either one of us had had in a long long time!
You could tell just by the smell that it was going to be good, and with the first bite we were hooked!
Fresh ingredients, fresh made and just the right combination and amount of toppings.
This pizza is a masterpiece!
Before long we were ordering this pizza every week, sometimes more often.
Then we branched out, tried the other pizzas, those too were winners!
We were hooked on Cafe Quattro!
Next, we tried the Spinach Salad (with tomatoes, onions, mozzarella cheese and bacon bits), now mind you, I never cared for raw spinach until I tasted the Cafe's Salad.
Perfect!
Then we tried the Crabmeat Salad (over a garden or caesar salad with artichoke hearts, onions, black olives and roasted red peppers), the Tuna Salad..
Not a single disappointment, the portions are generous and the prices are more than reasonable.
Most everything in Cafe Quattro is priced at under 10 bucks and all of it is made fresh!
Cafe Quattro is located at 4 Somerset Street (617- 557-9291), just off of Beacon Street near Suffolk University.
The Cafe delivers locally and also has a catering menu.
When you're touring Boston, this Cafe is a great place to stop to refuel!
Try the "Gennaro" Pizza - YOU'LL BE HOOKED!
At Haymarket
Living on Beacon Hill, the options for food shopping are pretty slim.
You can walk down to Cambridge Street and pay the enormous price of shopping at the earthy crunchy WF.
Or you can trudge over to Copley and shop at “Shaws”, but if you intend on lugging your groceries home, the walk can get long if you live on the hill.
And then there is Haymarket.
It’s been there forever!
Boston’s outdoor produce market, open Friday and Saturday.
Yes, it’s crowded at times, but if you are looking for fruit and vegetables, this is the place to go!
I went back again this weekend, solo.
My Lady had to work and she handed me $20 before I left her place.
I returned a couple of hours later with about twenty pounds of fruit and vegetables and still had $5 left over!
Some items cost half of what you would pay in a store, some a third and some a quarter!
This same amount of fruit and vegetables would have cost at least, at least $60 at WF!
Enjoy your money without wasting it!
You will find all manner of fruit, vegetables, cheeses, herbs, and seafood.
Everything you need for a healthy diet!
Haymarket is a Boston Tradition and one that I’m glad is still here!
Don’t miss it. Make Haymarket a habit!
Your health and wallet will both thank you!
How to get there:
From the Haymarket T stop, walk towards Faneuil Hall. You wont be able to miss it!
From Government Center, walk down the stairs on the left of City Hall, cross the street and you are there!
