   I was recommended by a friend to try Macaroni Tratoria and wasn't disappointed. We had a group of five and we all loved our dishes which were delicious & good sized portions. Lovely attentive staff .

   Monday night and the restaurant was full…….. for good reason. Outstanding food - funghi parpadelle was a standout. Highly recommended

   Great place for Italian food in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. We went as a group of six and everyone left very satisfied. The staff were lovely and enjoyed a laugh with our table. I'd recommend the Lamb Ragu, you just couldn't be disappointed with it.

   I booked this restaurant for pre show dinner before the comedy show. When we arrived we had noticed that it was a very busy restaurant but the staff were very friendly and organised. We were served promptly after we placed our orders. We were given 1.5 hours for the dining session but had plenty of time to enjoy and taste the food. The food portions were very generous and will definitely be back again.

   This is a fantastic spot. Down a laneway, hidden from the main road but so close to everything. From initial arrival where we were promptly met by staff and guided to our table to the delicious meals brought to our table, everything was first class. The garlic and cheese pizza was perfect. Not overloaded or greasy. Just perfect and the pasta (parpadelle lamb ragu and spaghetti carbonara) after was so sumptuous but not heavy. The drink selection was great and a cheeky red was the perfect compliment to the meal. We left feeling full and very satisfied! The staff were attentive but not overly so meaning we enjoyed prompt service when required but were left to enjoy our meals without interruption. The atmosphere was perfect! It was Saturday night and even though it was busy, it didn't feel cramped and we weren't rushed. The little touches also made it. The "traditional" Italian posters on the wall to the little candles on the table were wonderful. We couldn't have enjoyed our night anymore and I cannot recommend this restaurant anymore highly. We will definitely return. Go there if you can

   It’s a really nice space and a comfortable restaurant but the food was not good. I ordered the lasagna because someone had it on the table next to us and it looked really good. However what I was served looked and tasted like a supermarket frozen lasagna.

   Love this little very busy Italian restaurant in a Lane way in the CBD. Excellent waiters. Food is fabulous. Ambience is very European

    Beautiful food but disappointing to be standing waiting to be even addressed by any wait staff for our reservation for 15 minutes to take us to our table. when seated we were put against the wall but they sat others so close to our table we were literally trapped in not even wait staff could attend to us they have to squish side ways in to see us … we were going to order more drinks and food but saw an opening for us to leave with ease when a guest on another table went to the restroom. Bit disappointing how we were treated on such a special night for us
