A Ligurian Feast by Alta Trattoria - MFWF
A$120.00 per person
23 Mar 2025 only
Melbourne Food & Wine Festival 2025 Drawing on his years working at Michelin-starred Balzi Rossi in Ventimiglia, Alta Trattoria’s chef McKay Wilday will take you on a journey to the Ligurian coast. The combination of exquisite seafood and the bountiful array of produce is what draws Wilday to Liguria, and why he believes Melbourne is the ideal setting to showcase the Italian region’s simple and honest approach to cooking. Using Victoria’s finest produce, this four-course feast will showcase classic Ligurian dishes such as trofie al pesto, pansotti al preboggion, cappon magro and coniglio alla Ligure. Alongside the feast, there will be a selection of Ligurian wines curated by the Alta Trattoria team.

We have been dining here regularly since it opened. James and his colleagues run a first class trattoria. Outstanding Italian wine list complementing wonderfully tasteful Piedmontese regional food. Who could ask for more.

A lovely haven, set in a backstreet of Fitzroy. It is an attractive venue with very fine food. A really enjoyable experience overall. Thoroughly recommended.

Service was fantastic. It was good without the wow factor to get me to go back again. Our mains were not as good as the entree’s. Maybe it was what we selected. Pricing was typical and serving portions were perfect.

Good service at Alta, but unfortunately, the food didn’t impress. Each dish in the pasta degustation was quite similar, and they were all overwhelmingly salty. At $85 per person, it didn’t feel worth it. I won’t be returning.
