Quadrato Restaurant Description:
If you're after classic Italian cooking with a light, modern touch, mostly inspired by the north of Italy, Quadrato will fit the bill. It's in the Four Seasons Hotel, in a pretty room which has the great advantage of a large outdoor terrace for summer dining. Menus follow the classic pattern, with enough variety in each course to make choosing difficult. Perhaps sautéed chicken livers with shallots and roasted peppers on crisp saffron rice followed by artichoke risotto with a rich Parmesan fondue. Then a fish dish as the kitchen is so strong on the likes of daurade with a leek and crab cannelloni, artichoke, cauliflower and broccoli. Desserts stray into international hotel mode with Mississippi mud pie making an appearance alongside tiramisu. Our advice is to go for the cheese board; you'll find it hard to sample so much first-rate Italian cheese at one sitting anywhere else. Brunch is purely Tuscan and is a pretty good bet at any time of the year; special occasions like Easter bring out extras (and a price hike to £50 per person). You can watch the kitchen through a glass panel, a neat counterpoint to the low-lit interior, all hues of black currant and brown set off with a cube motif. Italian wines are to the fore and the front-of-house has an efficient charm. Sun. brunch buffet £42 (£50 on certain holidays). Set 2-course lunch £19.50, 3 courses £25.
