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.

    I cannot praise this restaurant enough. Hands down best yum cha around. Wide range of choices delivered by solicitous staff on shining trolleys. Gives a grand experience. My table companions were running late and the staff were supportive when they finally arrived helping to settle the children and ensure the stressed parents were able to settle in . The manager also checked on our parking arrangements and went the extra mile to go find our car and put money in the meter for us. What can I say gold standard service and amazing food. U will definitely be back and recommend to all I know. Thanks for all that you do

    I ordered the green curry chicken. I loved the chicken and the sauce. It was spicy for me but enjoyable. I removed the green beans and bell peppers as I wasn’t aware they were in the dish. I’d order the green curry chicken again.
