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.

This is authentic Greek food. The food is delicious and the service excellent. High quality all the way, it was great taking my non Greek friends here and them discovering that Greek food is more than the standard grill taverna food. They all loved it from entree to dessert. The fish of the day was succulent and tasty.

This place is the BOMB! Probably the best Chinese cuisine I've ever had. The prawn spring rolls were to DIE FOR and the peas in the beef stir fry were just as good as the meat. Absolutely nothing left behind on the plate. The staff were efficient, friendly and happy to stop for a chat. Noise level wasn't too bad at all even after it filled up. Very happy to recommend!
