Big Esso is an all-day bar and kitchen located on the land of the Wurundjeri and Boonwurrung peoples. We are beyond proud to be bringing Indigenous food and culture back to the banks of Birrarung (Yarra). This River was once an eel breeding ground; where shark, dolphin and stingrays could be found. ​ This place was a main source of food, hunting, cooking, and ceremony. By sharing food in this place, we hope to bring these stories back to life. ​ 'Big Esso' is an expression in the Torres Strait. It’s a slang term that means ‘the biggest thank you.’ This is what you say when you really want to express your gratitude. When combined, ‘Mabu Mabu & Big Esso’ is what you would say before kicking-off a celebration like no other. ​

And everyone was welcome.Now we extend the invitation to you. Tutti Trattoria is the recreation of these family moments, with a little makeover. Our gorgeous interior brings a taste of Italy to the heart of Essendon. Each of our rooms reflects a unique vibe, from our southern Italian trattoria to our decadent and intimate upstairs restaurant.And the food. We believe good food doesn’t have to be complicated. It just needs to be made fresh, with quality ingredients, and a little love. Come on in and see what all the fuss is about.

    Three of us enjoyed our beautiful Mon lady evening meal at the Royal Oak with a great atmosphere all around. The waiters and waitresses were very attentive and service was very quick. The food was quite good and pricewise quite normal for that area of Melbourne.

    We had a truly lovely lunch at GK today. The food was all delicious and the service from Laura and her team was warm and friendly. My mother had the Barramundi, which was cooked to perfection, my nephew had the kids Chicken strips raved about his crispy potatoes and my niece enjoyed ordering off the Tapas menu, devouring Beef brisket tacos, Charred corn & mozzarella croquettes and some shared meatballs. Every dish was so tasty and fast to come out (which was great as the kids are always impatient for food!) This restaurant is definitely a new favourite!
