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.

    Came here to celebrate my friends birthday and we went for the all you can eat yum cha. I came here last time and the food came out quite quickly, however this time the food was delayed for a significantly longer time, and the waitress didn't seem to know what she was doing, missing dishes that we had to keep asking for. I went to pay the bill and the server apologised for the delay and did not charge us for the drinks which I was not expecting! Wonderful gesture from the restaurant and I thank them for making things right, it was really appreciated and made our day :)
