About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Lively
  • Good for special occasions
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 had a lovely lunch at this Italian place and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We started with the bruschetta, which was fresh and flavorful — the perfect way to kick off the meal. For the main course, I went with the spaghetti Bolognese. It was hearty, well-seasoned, and comforting, just like a classic Italian dish should be. We wrapped things up with a tiramisu that was rich, creamy, and the ideal sweet finish. The highlight of the visit, though, was the service — absolutely top-notch. The staff was warm, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. Would definitely come back

    Nice enough, fresh pasta dishes and a good wine selection. Cramped tables though and very noisy.

    Visiting Melbourne and catching up with some friends for dinner. Found this place by chance as getting a table for 6 lthe night before the long Easter weekend was tricky. Garlic and cheese pizza delicious. Everyone had different things and all happy. Will be back! Ps only gripe is that the music was too loud for a small, full restaurant - hard to order/wait staff to hear and chat to each other.

    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 .
