RACECOURSE ROAD'S LYGON STREET: $18.50 Eggplant Parmigiana (traditional and perfect), Tuscan sangiovese $9 (glass) and very nice, Moretti beer presented with a big cold glass $8.50, and I'm satisfied and very pleased. A light breeze under the canvas and a place inside with a lot of style like Lygon Street Carlton's best, complete with photos from Italy. Not a huge meal but for $18.50 and at lunch time, I had more than I needed and felt comfortable. I felt like I was sitting in Tiamo in Carlton. Great service of course, and a real Italian business. You could bring a girlfriend here and she'd be saying later: Let's go back to Trattoria Italiana. Great place. I'll be back, or we'll be back. J
This is my new favourite restaurant. The food is absolutely great but the personal service from people who obviously love their cuisine, culture and community is even better. You have to dine here! We had a table of eight and everyone experienced one of the best meals they've had in a long time.
I’ve come here for takeaway orders twice now and both times I’ve had some delicious carbonara pasta. The first time I also bought a salad that was okay and the second some garlic bread that was pretty good too.
The restaurant itself is on a busy eatery street in Hamilton that is packed full of flavour. However it’s easy to find a park on the street and then head into the restaurant. There’s plenty of seating inside and out and there was live music on the night I popped in to grab dinner.
It’s clear to see the servers work hard and the kitchen is efficient as the food is always quick and full of flavour. I’d love to come dine in at this restaurant soon and taste more of their menu but any place that has a delicious carbonara is excellent for me.
The Hammers fav Italian in the area , food and service are generally top notch here and the addition of a solo guitarist on a Friday or Saturday night will make your evening , will post some pics from my next venture here as it won’t be too long till they’re back from their break
This place is another shining example of why you should not always rely on reviews to decide on a restaurant. There's a collection of circumstantial negative reviews which is unfortunate considering it may deter people from trying Trattoria Italiana in the first place. Definitely try this place out for yourself because we're very glad we did. Great location, great ambiance, excellent food and service (shout out to Chloe). Not once did we have to call or wait for service, everything was done with a smile and with haste. Waiting time for our food and beverages were pretty standard for a restaurant, the food however, was not. It was amazing! The only negative criticism I could give is the chairs were slightly uncomfortable (for me, not for everyone) and the table could have been a tad bigger for the four of us, but we managed quite easily. Try this place out, it's worth it. Honestly, what do you have to lose?
Tuesday night and it was very quiet in the restaurant. Staff were good as was the food. Pasta was excellent. Clean fresh and authentic Italian The stuffed mushroom was ok but nothing to get to excited about. Overall I was impressed and happy with the food and service although it was a Tuesday
Amazing food! Some of the best Italian I've ever had. The atmosphere is very romantic and sophisticated. I had the pesto gnocchi and it was amazing. Very generous serve, couldn't even finish it!

Bellissimo! We could not fault anything about either our food or the service tonight. Proper table cloths and a restaurant that is quiet enough to hold a conversation and just the right amount of light were all good starts. We listened to the daily specials - I could have listened to the waitress all night with her lovely Italian accent. Our bruschetta arrived and was piled high with fresh tomato and basil. The serving size was generous and we were glad we had shared it between two. Luckily there was a proper break between courses. The main meals all arrived together. My barramundi was larger than I expected due to the mountain of mashed potato. This was real mashed potato - not the silky fine dining stuff. The spinach was perfectly sautéed and the barramundi was delicious covered with capers. My dining partners were happy with their spaghetti Bolgnese and the seafood risotto was described as the best ever. Apparently the kids meatballs lacked flavour and the spaghetti with chilli was a bit too authentic for the unaccustomed Aussie who simply chose the wrong meal. The plates were not taken away until everyone was finished - sometimes it's the little things that matter. There was simply no room for dessert and we watched in awe as other tables received huge pieces of cake. Live music played from 7pm and was quiet and unobtrusive. Great night.
Big Breakfast. Had both breakfast & dinner within the week. Breakfast portions are big! and come with all the standard traditional accompaniments neither could be finished. Dinner menu is on the heavy side for my personal taste as far as Italian goes and the freshness & flavours were ok. I would return for a traditional style of breakfast.
Yummy breakfast, big breakfast was huge, mostly shared between two as my breakfast partners eyes were bigger than their appetite. Coffee was nice. Everything was good value- big orders of bacon which is a nice change from other places (hint hint at their neighbours with lots of choices but little quantity). Eggs benedict & ham was served with small side salad which was unexpected but lovely dressing on it, would likely ask for the wilted spinach instead/as well because it was so good. Service was good, friendly waitress, manager on the till was italian and chatted a bit. (Ps we love the Heinz baked beans lol feels like home). New fav breakfast place when we have friends over. Comfortable atmosphere, very laid back.
Warm with braziers & plastic blinds to keep the cold out. Service was really helpful. I had difficulty deciding what to eat & the female serving us asked a few questions, then recommended the marinara for my taste. It was delicious! Hubby loved his tortellini also! Thanks!
Absolutely superb food. Risotto and pasta were both amazing. Texture, flavour, portion size all spot on. Cannot fault it at all. And the Home-made Tiramisu dessert was the best I've ever had, period. We just went out for a simple lunch. Ended up having the best meal of the year so far! Thanks!
Good customer service and wonderful food! Congratulations to the Chef!
Brilliant food. Great menu choices. Cater for gluten free. Lovely ambience. Fantastic old fashioned professional service.
