About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming

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.

    If you're in the mood for fresh, authentic Italian cuisine, I highly recommend and is our favourite spot to come every time we are in Melbourne. This charming eatery offers an exceptional dining experience with a menu full of classic Italian dishes and everything on the menu speaks to the heart of Italy. The staff are welcoming, knowledgeable, and attentive without being overbearing. They are always ready to make personalised recommendations based on your preferences, whether you're in the mood for something light and refreshing or rich and indulgent. Whether you're visiting for a casual meal or a special occasion, you'll feel like you're dining in a small Italian village, where the food is made with love and the service is always top-notch. It's the perfect spot for anyone craving fresh Italian fare in a warm, inviting atmosphere.

    We very much enjoyed our dinner here. The food was excellent - tuna tartare, risotto and swordfish. Our waiter was pleasant and well informed. The atmosphere was vibrant. I would easily recommend.

    We made a last minute booking for an early and quick dinner before the theatre. Everything went very well. The service was excellent and we very much enjoyed our food with a glass of wine. We will visit again, for a more leisurely dinner next time.
