Maccaroni Trattoria Italiana in the Melbourne CBD is serving rustic and authentic Italian food like its meant to be – flavoursome, simple and made with a healthy dose of Italian passion. The chefs behind this Manchester Lane restaurant are dedicated to following traditional recipes (just like Nonna used), using their knowledge from homeland Italy and adding just a touch of gourmet modernity. Freshly made pasta is undoubtedly the star of the show at Maccaroni Trattoria Italiana, ranging from gnocchi and tagliatelle to fettuccine and pappardelle. Yet the menu also offers rustic pizzas, traditional mains and homemade desserts that will satisfy any guest – especially when enjoyed alongside the Italian and Australian wines available. Better yet, the service and atmosphere of Maccaroni is both genuine and inviting. Located in the Melbourne CBD, this restaurant is understandably popular and making an advance booking is highly recommended.

    Food was great but the service was awful! Made us hold dirty cutlery for 10 minutes rather than taking it after our appetizers and giving us fresh cutlery for the main!

    We booked five for Christmas day lunch/dinner. It was an awesome experience. The food was great. We were welcomed when we arrived and they slotted us into an earlier reservation. We have nothing but positive things to say about the server… We would definitely go again!

    The staff made us feel very welcome despite the fact that we were late because of city traffic. They were aware that we were going to a show at 7pm so they gave us menus to look at while we were waiting for a table to be set up. We ordered when we sat down and our meals came out very quickly. The food was delicious…. the best risotto I have had in a long time! We left the restaurant 45minutes after we arrived and left in time to see beginning of the show! Thank you so much!

    We dined at Maccaroni Trattoria last night before a Mark Wilkinson concert and we couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. We were asked on arrival if we going on to see a show so that they were prepared to accommodate our need for a quick meal. Food was delicious, generous portions and the service was excellent. Having returned from a month in Italy earlier this year, I felt like I was back there. And to top it all off, I left my glasses on the table but called during intermission and they were safely waiting for me to retrieve after the show. I fully recommend this little gem of a place for any occasion. Well done guys. 👍
