About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Great for fine wines
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.

    Beautiful space, great service but food was too salty. Unfortunately, we both felt unwell from the food afterwards.

    The food is fantastic, but the service is what makes me come back. The tables always prepared for my time slot, the service staff pleasant, knowledgeable and authentic. The bread is fresh, a must for me, when I want more, it comes out. Lots of wine and a vegan menu as well which is nice. If you want to be a little cheeky, ask for the secret or special dish if available on the day. Thanks for the wonderful times I've had with family and friends Trattoria Emilia.

    Our first visit to Trattoria Emilia was to celebrate our anniversary and we loved everything about our experience. The ambience, service, food and drink were all wonderful so we anticipate many more visits in the future. Emilia transported us back to our most treasured holiday in Italy just after we were married 20 years ago.
