About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
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.

    Feel it was hyped up for what it was. Sauces and meats ect delicious. Pasta didn’t seem house made… if it was we’ve had better, focaccia can definitely go without, wish we got the bruschetta! Service is amazing! They all do a great job, quick with meals and drinks.

    The Pappardelle Lamb Ragu was the highlight of the meal for me—the Napoli sauce combined with the wide pasta was addictive, while the lamb was cooked to the perfect texture (soft but not too soft like mince meat). Capricciosa pizza was not too oily and had a good crust and base that was chewy. Not the most impressive pizza I have ever eaten but still a very good one as the ricotta cheese elevated the pizza’s flavour. Focaccia Yourself was not quite worth its price, it was $18 for 3 pieces and 3 dips (of which I only really enjoyed one of it). Ravioli Butter and Sage was an interesting dish that I had never tried before, the texture of the ravioli was very satisfying (just the right amount of bite to it) and the sauce and toppings worked well with the creamy filling. Pricewise, it may not be as worth it for some since it cost the same as the Pappardelle Lamb Ragu ($28) but is smaller in size and had no meat or vegetables. Spaghetti Carbonara was a satisfactory one, but nothing to shout about, although I did like that they gave a lot of pancetta. Overall, service was good albeit a little slow for a Tuesday night, but the servers were all very friendly. The space is not too small but as with many restaurants in Melbourne, it can get quite noisy so perhaps go during lunchtime if you want a more conducive environment to talk. Definitely will recommend if you only care about the food though!

    Food is absolutely superb. For 90 mins I felt like I could be eating in Italy. Everything we ordered was delicious, hot and portion sizes are perfect.

    The restaurant smells so good, it makes it difficult to choose what to order. The pastas are very popular choices and their signature maccoroni dish hit the spot on a cold, wet melbourne afternoon. I'll be back again to try all the other pastas!
