Trattoria Emilia is an authentic Italian restaurant focusing on seasonal produce and fresh pasta. Head chefs Francesco Rota and Luca Flammia hail from Modena in Emilia Romagna.

At Trattoria Emilia we seasonally change the menu and source a large majority of our produce from regional Victoria, our meat is organic and sustainably grown in Tasmania and Victoria and we import some of the best Italian DOC products. Some dishes that are not to be missed are our Tortelloni Emiliani and the crowd favourite salumi misti with gnocco fritto and tigelle served with mortadella mousse.

Rustic, yet refined, Trattoria Emilia boasts fantastic ambience, attentive and professional service whilst all the while remaining a great casual dining spot perfect for a quick lunch, a long relaxing dinner with friends and has always been a romantic date spot.

    Amazing food - we had the set menu and every part was delicate and bursting with flavour. Also so impressed at the attention given to the vegetarians at our table. Highly recommend.

    Our first visit after a couple years, and unfortunately it was disappointing. Service was very slow. Our waiter was very personable, but I think the wait staff may have been over-stretched with a full house. While the entree was OK, the pasta mains were very bland. We asked for various condiments (salt, pepper, chilies) which when added made the dishes more enjoyable, but still lacking any distinctive taste. Interestingly, when we mentioned this to our server, he said they had recently reduced the seasoning since some customers had posted that the dishes were too spicy! I guess it is a matter of different strokes for different folks.
