About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Great for fine wines
Trattoria Emilia is an authentic Italian restaurant focusing on seasonal produce and fresh pasta. Head chefs Francesco Rota and Luca Flammia hail from Modena in Emilia Romagna.

At Trattoria Emilia we seasonally change the menu and source a large majority of our produce from regional Victoria, our meat is organic and sustainably grown in Tasmania and Victoria and we import some of the best Italian DOC products. Some dishes that are not to be missed are our Tortelloni Emiliani and the crowd favourite salumi misti with gnocco fritto and tigelle served with mortadella mousse.

Rustic, yet refined, Trattoria Emilia boasts fantastic ambience, attentive and professional service whilst all the while remaining a great casual dining spot perfect for a quick lunch, a long relaxing dinner with friends and has always been a romantic date spot.

    What an experience. The location was amazing, service and staff far exceeded expectations. The food was exquisite, well presented, tasteful; a credit to the chef's attention to detail. Every part of this experience was memorable. It was our first time dining. We will definitely return

    At Trattoria Emilia the food was very good and I recommend the "vitello tonnato". Service was quick and efficient. At times the noise level was getting a bit unbearable but if you want to eat well you just have to put up with it.

    We were seated to the area to the left of the entrance which was quiet. We ordered 2 entrees - carpaccio and gnoco frito - the kingfish slices were a little thicker then I expected so a bit chewy as usually when you have kingfish, the slicers are far thinner so a little fishier tasting. We ordered pasta special of the day as well as lobster risotto plus side salad. The risotto was a little too al dente so felt like I was eating raw risotto. Salad came a little later to our table after the mains. We shared a tiramisu for dessert. This was good. Overall I have had better food in previous visits so standard has dropped a little since my last visit which was a couple of years ago. It was one of my favourite lunch venues but dropped a peg this visit.
