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.

    No-one should visit Melbourne without a trip to Emilia‘s. No fussiness in this open, roomy space - just fantastic food, service and ambiance. We went for the 5 course tasting menu ($95pp). Every course was just excellent. Great skill showed through from the watermelon carpaccio right through to the panna cotta. Staff all friendly, genuine, helpful and observant. Cocktails also good (and fairly priced).

    The food here is quite special - Italian done very well and with little kicks of individuality and creativity. It is always delicious! The staff are great too. The wine selection is lovely and the staff are very knowledgeable about it. Had the nicest ever organic Sangiovese on their recommendation. It's a quirky kind of place that both makes you feel relaxed and comfortable while still feeling special.

    The main courses were delicious but the tiramisu was really average, as it was not a tiramisu. When you are selling tiramisu, it must be a tiramisu. You should change it to reconstructed tiramisu or something so people know they are not getting a traditional one.

    Impeccable service, friendly and competent. Beautiful, seasonably driven food with interesting and appetising touches. Pleasant ambience with tables spaced well so you could speak without strain. We particularly enjoyed the peas, beans and asparagus with a beautiful dressing and the roast lamb fillet with the balsamic glaze and the delicate vitello tonnato. Easy to enjoy, difficult to fault.
