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.

    Wonderful experience! Great food and service, the whole team did an amazing job. We had the 5 course degustation menu and the value/price for the quality of the food is actually one of the best on the market. Thanks guys, keep it up!

    A truly authentic experience at Trattoria Emilia. The food choices from the 3 course option were fantastic. Definitely great value for money and no skimping on quality ingredients or serving sides. I cannot fault the food nor the bubbly staff who know and love their food.

    I haven't been for lunch here in an age. The feel of the room is fittingly spacious for day dining and delightfully so, in comparison to the nurturing enclose of the evening sittings. Food and service impeccable as alway.s
