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.

    Great food and service in the traditional Italian family style. Hard to beat. This somewhat difficult to find trattoria has great style and ambiance. It is very popular so be sure to book in advance. Its an experience you wont regret. The food and the winer list is very authentic.

    We attended Trattoria for the first time for my sons 30th Birthday. The food was top quality and the effort that was taken to support my specific dietary needs was 100%. Cannot recommended more highly and look forward to attending again in the future.
