Armani Cafe changes into Quattro Cafe

Restaurateur Antonio Cagnolo recently took over operations of what was

known until last weekend as the Armani Cafe in South Coast Plaza. The

restaurant has become the Quattro Cafe, which represents the fact that

Cagnolo now owns four of the shopping center’s eateries, including

Antonello Ristorante.

Quattro will continue serving lunch and dinner, and the current

kitchen and dining room staff will keep their positions.
