Trattoria Emilia

Had the most wonderful dining experience here. It was a set price of $75 per head for three courses with the ability to order more, which we did, couldn’t resist the grilled bone marrow which was sensational. Whilst they don’t have a listed wine matching option our waiter did it for us anyway and absolutely nailed it. It’s not cheap mind you, budget $300 for a couple but for a special occasion it was well worth it; will definitely come back here again.

Absolutely fantastic pasta. Loved the tiramisu too. And the service was really excellent. Highly recommend!

Trattoria Emila is one of Melbourne's more special restaurants. It ticks all the right boxes for local hospo icon status: low key but high quality, a laneway location, bluestone construction, trend-free but undeniably stylish. The Italian restaurant and bar is named for the Italian Emilia-Romagna region sitting between Florence and Milan. One of my favourite food memories is of a particularly spectacular and unique antipasto platter some years ago. More recently I'm impressed by the wine list. For lovers of Italian wine, this is a destination for trying labels and styles from the length and breadth of the nation. It was at Trattoria Emilia that I learned to give Moscato another chance thanks to an aromatic dry Moscato by Cantine Pupillo.

The best food. Like I was in Italy. Such a culinary delight. Also wonderful service!!

Fantastic food and service on point. Had a great dining experience here.

If you are after traditional Italian food from one of the best foodie area in Italy, Trattoria Emilia is the right place. The place is very decorated and cozy, the staff well trained and able to answer to all the questions we had on the dishes we ordered. We got Gnocco fritto, tigelle with a selections of Salumi (a must in Emilia region) and Rosette with ham, mushrooms, truffle and fondue cheese. Don’t forget to try their Tiramisu (with croccante!) and Panna e Fragole, with white Japanese strawberries. We matched dinner with Pinot Noir and the house offered shots of homemade Limoncello. Like in a proper Trattoria. I am looking forward to coming back soon

Good food, good hospitality, highly recommended! Everyone is very nice! We have an enjoyable nite here!

We used to love this restaurant. Unfortunately it seems the quality has gone downhill. The porcini lasagne was disappointing. The mushrooms did not appear to be porcini mushrooms at all. They looked and tasted like tinned mushrooms. The other dishes were a bit lacklustre also. I hope this was a one off.

Excellent service. Food was quite good.

Nice cosy little northern Italian haunt down a little alleyway. Grilled octopus was great. Spaghetti was salty. The chips were the unexpected hero of the night. My God. They have to be the best chips I have had in a long time.
