About this restaurant

  • Lively
  • Charming
  • Good for groups
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.

    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.

    Great place for Italian food in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. We went as a group of six and everyone left very satisfied. The staff were lovely and enjoyed a laugh with our table. I'd recommend the Lamb Ragu, you just couldn't be disappointed with it.

    I booked this restaurant for pre show dinner before the comedy show. When we arrived we had noticed that it was a very busy restaurant but the staff were very friendly and organised. We were served promptly after we placed our orders. We were given 1.5 hours for the dining session but had plenty of time to enjoy and taste the food. The food portions were very generous and will definitely be back again.
