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.

We booked five for Christmas day lunch/dinner. It was an awesome experience. The food was great. We were welcomed when we arrived and they slotted us into an earlier reservation. We have nothing but positive things to say about the server… We would definitely go again!

A really beautiful experience in every way. Beautiful service, tables not too close together, ambience just perfect, food was scrumptious, traditional, not over the top, not too try hard, just perfect. We had such a lovely Christmas lunch and for the price even better! Love to pay our money to privately owned family business too. Well done Il Duca, we will be back sooner than later.

Best decision to have an a la carte lunch on Christmas Day. Awesome service via the phone & in person. Food we can’t fault. The only negatives were that they ran out of oysters by 1pm and also one of the cocktails. We will definitely go back.
