Stumbled upon this great restaurant when walking through Melbourne late on our first night down there. We were looking for something decent for dinner and we were so glad we found this place. Yes it is a small restaurant and it was a bit noisy but that was because it was full of people enjoying their food the whole time we were there. Great staff and service and some of the best Italian food we have ever eaten. Will definitely go back next time we are in Melbourne!

Looked for a restaurant with simple good food near Athaneum Theatre Maccaroni came up. From 1st contact felt really happy got good advice as to arrival time. It's in a great spot it's a true Trattoria bustling great atmosphere fabulous food as only the Italians can do. I had Swordfish my husband pizza he can't help himself. We loved it as 1st time customers we booked just as well but it had a happy busy throughput. We'll go back no question it's got great well priced food served quickly lovely atmosphere.

We had a tipical Italian antipasto and gnocchi, I can't really tell how good our lunch was. We are Italian and it was like to be in our home country tasting our amazing food again. Thanks guys it was a great experience, the best place to go dining when I feel homesick. Great job!

Very delicious Italian restaurant with great ambience! The menu boasts a great selection, with lots of vegan options. The restaurant is great for after work dinner/drinks, or a dinner with friends. Cocktails are also delicious! Would definitely recommend it and definitely would come again.

Lovely, clean ambience and we had a friendly and accomodating waitress. Pasta was absolutely fantastic and authentic Italian. Have seen this restruant on zomato gold for a while, and the dining experience our expectations. The location is tucked away nicely in a quiet location away from the bustling streets and is easily accessible by tram, train or foot. Highly recommend the gnocchi and pappardelle! One of the best pastas we’ve tried for a long time. This is definitely an Italian restruant up there. Would definitely come back again.

I'd seen Maccaroni Trattoria Italiana before but finally got tempted to try it with Zomato Gold and I'm glad I did! The pasta and pizza were delicious and the serving sizes much bigger than we expected. It also worked out to be only $15pp - extremely great value. We were intially seated at a small table in the middle but they moved us when we asked, despite it being quite busy. Service was really friendly throughout as well.

Great Italian restaurant in CBD. It was a busy night and we visited here without a reservation, but the staff organised a table quickly. Thanks to them we had a good dining experience.

- Caprese ☆☆☆☆

- Spaghetti Carbonara ☆☆☆☆☆

- Macaroni incasciati ☆☆☆☆

Loved their pasta!! Texture, flavours and quantity, everything was good. Especially, carbonara was my favourite.
If they had more choices for risotto it would be great. But I would definitely come back, thank you.

A cute little Italian restaurant hidden in a laneway. Upon arrival we were greeted warmly by our waitress. The place is very cozy. We went for the fettuccine lamb ragu and the pappardelle funghi e tartufo. My favourite was the pappardelle - the wide pasta was cooked really well, and the creamy truffle sauce was amazing. The fettuccine was also delicious, and the lamb was extremely tender! We used 1+1 Zomato Gold here which made it super affordable too.

Pleasantly surprised! It was far from traditional but it was tasty comfort food. I had the fettuccine with bacon and zucchini and loads of sinful cream. My girlfriend had the spaghetti marinara and there was a generous amount of seafood. It’s priced similar to Tipo 00 but it was more of a comfort food style. Tiramisu and pana cotta for dessert also hit the mark. Kudos to Evan who was very affable and helpful.

Come one, come all, come hungry.

Maccaroni Trattoria Italiana serves enough food on its $45 set menu that you wont feel the urge to eat again for another 45 days. But its not all quantity over quality here, the banquet includes an antipasto platter, fresh caprese salad and some of the best bruschetta you have ever had to grace your taste buds.
And thats JUST the entree.

We recommend the scallopine or the maccaroni incasciati as that is what we ordered. But our entire table was so satisfied with what they ordered that they gave us pats on the backs for choosing Maccaroni Trattoria Italiana and said we dont have to pay them to be there friend for a whole month.

So thank you Maccaroni Trattoria Italiana for making our lives a bit cheaper.

As for service; once you get passed the front of house staff that look more lost than a penguin in the dessert (or at least thats how lost you will be if you decide to brave the trek to the bathroom) you'll be served by charming and knowledgeable waiters.

Overall we rate this bello mio: 4.5/5

Will we be back? It's a no brainer.

Came in no booking for one in this bustling restaurant set in an alley way on route to a car park believe it or not.

Once inside I was greeted and shortly shown to my table.

There are a fair selection of Italian wine by the glass and daily prices for the CBD.

The usual fare of pasta, pizzas and mains are available. Pastas are made on premises.

Prices are all very reasonable with soups for $15 and pastas in mid $20s. Many places more fine dining end charge double.

Honest food here with friendly service. Well worth a try!

A great Italian restaurant in the city and one of Melbourne’s best kept secrets. They have gone through multiple renovations but the food remains top notch - and our go to for Italian cuisine. My favourites are the pappardelle funghi e tartufo (pappardelle pasta with mushrooms and truffle in light olive oil) and Maccaroni incascati (penne pasta bake with meatballs, eggplant and pesto).

Perfectly cooked pasta. Some very interesting items on the menu including multiple vegan pasta options. Generous pasta servings and friendly service.

We ordered the beetroot spaghetti (9/10)
Perfect al dente light summer pasta with a subtle beetroot sauce.

Mushroom And truffle pappardelle (9/10)
Delicious lightly truffle and pepper mushroom sauce

Discovered this place through zomato gold. Glad we checked previous reviews which recommended making bookings as the restaurant was fully booked. Understandably so, due to great flavors and quality pasta! Will definitely visit again.

Came back here for another dinner in a while because they recently joined Zomato Gold. We had 2 entrees, 2 pastas and a pizza for just $74 thanks to Gold! The highlight was definitely the pastas. The baked maccaroni with meatballs and eggplants is my favourite. The crispy edges are the best! The pork belly and porcini fettuccine was really nicely balanced with the sweet pumpkin mousse. The pan fried vegetables were surprisingly good as well even as a side. This is one of our favourite pasta places in Melbourne and we will definitely visit more often now that they are on Zomato Gold.

I’m so in love with this restaurant! The ambience and vibe and the service were all so perfect!

Had the fettuccine pork belly & porcini and it was so unique!! I’ve never heard of a pork belly pasta ever but the combination of mushrooms, pork belly, pumpkin mousse, walnuts, sage and parmigiano was perfect!

also had a few bites of the risotto marinara and they were great too!!

It’s also a really romantic setup so you can come here for special occasions :)

One of my new fav places in melb!

Went here previously in March 2019 and feel the pork belly and mushroom fettuccine was mote impressive on our first visit. The walnuts was more generous and the pasta was served in a dish on top of a bed of pumpkin mash.

This time we went on Zomato Gold, the pasta was still chewy and delicious as you would expect from fresh pasta but there was very few walnuts and the pumpkin mousse was only a small smear on the side of the plate. On the previous occasion we also remember the mash being sweeter and a great combination with the pasta.

Garlic bread was decent but had a wet paste (garlic paste?) on the top which may not be a texture everyone enjoys.

The food on this occasion is probably 3.5 stars but given we got one of our pasta’s free from Zomato Gold, I think 4 stars is deserved. Would return to try their other fresh pasta dishes, we don’t think the pork belly is our favourite anymore.

We came here on a Thursday night to take up on the Zomato Gold 1+1 on food offer for the first time (bill came up to a total $31 for 2 people excluding drinks)!

We made a booking for 7:45pm as we heard it would be very busy, and upon arrival, it certainly was. The place was clearly understaffed, with 2-3 servers for a bustling restaurant. We didn't even get the chance to notify staff that we had to make a booking before we were told to wait outside briefly as the doorway was crowded due to patrons trying to pay and leave. After 5-10 minutes, we were finally allowed inside and were then seated.

The vibe of this little restaurant was everything! Very casual, but cosy and romantic. Dim lighting, and real candles at every table. Once again, due to under-staffing we had to wave someone down to take our orders.

We ordered:

1 x Spaghetti Carbonara

1 x Maccaroni Incasciati

1 x Garlic Bread

The spaghetti carbonara was delicious- noodles were perfectly al dente! My boyfriend found the maccaroni incasciati "average" and wished he'd ordered the spaghetti carbonara. The pasta came out super fast- even before the garlic bread did (although the server told us he'd come out with the garlic bread first).

Overall, this meal was such good value, and I loved the ambience as it quieted down after 8pm. Would definitely come back for the spaghetti carbonara or to give the raved about pappardelle mushroom and truffle a try! ^_^

Usually I don’t like eating Italian food in Melbourne, specially the pizza that doesn’t taste good as a pizza should. But I give it a try here. And I liked it.

Food: I ordered arancini and panelle as entree which didn’t impress me, but it was tasty. It’s a good starter, but nothing special. I ordered a 4 cheese pizza and I liked the pizza (at least they have some original flavours and put some cheese), but I just can’t explain... there’s nothing special again. I think the best was the lasagna in my opinion, it was tasty and the bechamel was quite good!

Service: A very good and friendly service, nothing to complain. Really feel that they worked very well!

Price: the Arancini and panelle ($14), pizza 🍕 ($23) and the lasagna ($23).

Walk in and feel the chill vibes. Well lit restuarant with brown tables and vines that dangle above.

Gnocchi sorrentina- imagine light balls of homemade potato gnocchi packed side by side and infused with the semi soft fior di latte and napoli sauce.

Romana pizza- thin slices of ham with flavoursome mozzarella cheese, the crust is slightly crisp.

3.5 stars ⭐️ Really like their lasagna here and their carbonara, but their calamari with chips was so so. The portion size is also a bit weird. The lasagna was quite big, but I felt the carbonara was much smaller.

Price-wise it’s slightly expensive for its home style atmosphere but it was nice.

A very good Italian restaurant with some very authentic, tasty and memorable dishes.

Located on Collins St near Flinders, my friend and I were seated promptly, greeted with enthusiasm and professional acumen. The staff here seemed to take pride in their roles, often seen laughing amongst each other and ensuring all patrons were attended to and met with friendly service. We opted today for the carbonara and a Ramona pizza. The pasta came with some parmesan cheese (a good sign for service and Italian restaurant status) and was very good. Good textured noodles with a thick, tasty creamy sauce lathered in flavours. A highlight carbonara by any measure. The pizza was also very enjoyable, fresh and mounted with a mix of aromatic flavours that made for an easy, yet delicious taste. We especially enjoyed how light it all tasted, not too oily or fatty, whilst still having good portions to fill us up.

Really nice restaurant experience, would recommend it for your Italian cuisine needs!

We loved 😍
We ordered the truffle and mushroom pappardelle and it was absolutely delicious! We have ordered the same dish twice. It wasn’t as saucy the second tom though. The prosciutto pizza had a doughy base which we aren’t usually the biggest fans of but this it seemed to work well.

We disliked 😖
We weren’t the biggest fan of the tomato bruschetta.

This is one of my favourite Italian places in Melbourne. If you’re a fan of Italian wines, this place has a great list.

We had Mother’s Day lunch here today and really enjoyed it! I had booked online but for some reason it hadn’t come up in the restaurants system - they were very accommodating though and got us a table straight away anyway. The caprese salad and antipasto board were a nice way to start our meal - the only thing is there could have been a bit more bread on the antipasto board. I had the gnocchi as my main and my husband had calamari - serving sizes were very generous, and the food was tasty! Service was quite attentive and friendly. Would definitely eat here again. Wasn’t particularly expensive either for a nice meal in the city.

Saw this spot had great reviews on Zomato so my friends and I figured we would have to check it out for dinner.

We ordered garlic bread for starters and it was great, bread had a lovely bite and the garlic butter had a lovely flavour.

For dinner I ordered the Risotto Marina without mussels as I’m not a big fan and didn’t want to waste them. And I replaced the risotto with spaghetti instead. This dish was delicious, had a beautiful seafood flavour, spaghetti had a nice bite and there was a lot of squid rings and prawns which I love. Overall I really enjoyed my experience at Maccaroni Trattoria Italiana.

What a beautiful little spot! We were lucky to eat here before going to see a show at the Regent theatre. The food was really good, I had the papadelle with the truffle sauce. The pasta was cooke beautifully; perfectly al dents (I’m not even a fan of al Dante pasta) but this was done to perfection. The truffle cream sauce was yummy too, the truffle wasn’t over powering so it was perfect accompanied by the mushrooms. A few other people tried other pasta dishes and there were no complaints about the food! Service was a tad slow; but not enough to hinder the experience.
Definitely recommend going here Especially before the show!

Undying is my love for Italian food. Yet another Italian place I visited recently as the craving for that fresh homemade pasta and wood-fired pizza was overpowering! A restaurant easily tucked away in Manchester Lane at The Collins Street. Came across it through online searches and the visit was definitely worth it.

We ordered the classic Capricciosa pizza and a pasta ‘Pappardelle Funghi E Tartufo’ - fresh pappardelle with mushrooms, truffle sauce and parsley. It was an amazing mushroom pasta I had in a long time. The pizza was exactly as I like it, aromatic and flavourful toppings with a bit charred and crisp crust. Can’t wait to have another bite of the pizza at this place!

Food:
The fettucine pork belly was an absolutely delicious meal. The pasta was creamy and flavourful, the pasta was well cooked. The mix of the sauce, mushrooms, pork belly, walnuts, et al in the dish, is so wonderfully done.

The pasta is however on the smaller side, basically felt like an appetiser. In addition there definitely could have been more pork belly in the meal.

Ambience and service:
The venue is small and cosy. Probably great place for a date. Whilst we anticipated a long wait given our table size, the food arrived surprisingly fast.

Overall:
Great meal but underwhelming portions.
If looking for value the pizzas looked much more substantial.

The food was good and the service was amazing despite the rush hour (we were there at 7pm on a Saturday!

We were quite surprised that such a nice restaurant would be so quite at noon. The vibe and service was great, so did the food here! We ordered a Caprese as a starter n it was so refreshing n yum! The handmade pasta were definitely the highlights of our lunch, I would so recommend the pappardelle with mushrooms n truffle source as well as the fettuccine with seafoods! FYI they have changed the menu seven months ago, ink fettuccine is no longer served in here now.

Came here for lunch with a friend as conveniently located for both of us. It’s a blink and you’ll miss location as located down an alley with not so much signage. Once you arrive you’re warmly greeted by lovely staff. It was a lovely day and they seemed to be quite busy.

Our eyes were immediately drawn to the home made pasta. With quite a few choices it took a little time to settle upon one. I went for the Maccaroni Incasciati which consisted of the home made pasta, napoli sauce, beef meat balls & mozzarella cheese all baked in a small dish. It was a tasty dish and thoroughly enjoyed it. Although not a fan of eggplant this was deliciously incorporated in this dish and all the ingredients worked in harmony. My friend had the Tagliatelle Bolognese sauce. The fresh pasta tossed with bolognese sauce and served with parmigiano. Bellissimo! We both commented how tasty these dishes were. Unpretentious and fairly well priced.

We found this place while searching for a casual Italian restaurant and we had a great experience. It was last Friday so public holiday and they had a 10% surcharge. We had the special snapper for entree, it was grilled and there was a lot of beetroot so I didnt quite like it. The fried calamari was perfectly cooked, lightly battered and crisp yet tender inside and not chewy. The rocket salad was not bitter at all so we really enjoyed it. I had the spaghetti marinara which was really good, the sauce was a bit too runny but it was still tasty. My bf had the tagliatelle bolognese, it was great too and he was very satisfied. We had one tiramisu for dessert and it came out really quick. For $10, this tiramisu is a must to order! We had to wait a while for the mains but apart from that, the service was great. Will come back for calamari and tiramisu!

Very good place. Shared a pizza and pasta and have to say they were both very very good. Quite impressed. Service was good however initially on one of Melbourne's coldest nights we were told only outdoor seats were available, when this was declined we were seated at one of the 5 free indoor tables. Toilets location and key system was odd. Quality for food and the rest of the service prompted the 4 stars. Will go back.

This place is cute with the candle lights on the table, cute little restaurant for some delightful pasta. Would definitely recommend the pork belly fettuccini as well, just the right amount and extremely tasty. Probably one of the best pastas I’ve had by far. Can’t really say anything wrong with the restaurant, definitely worth the money and must go at least once if visiting Melbourne.

My partner and I discovered the place whilst getting lost down one of the many lane ways Melbourne has to offer. The wine selection was superb, and the food was probably one of the best Italian cuisines I’ve ever eaten. The staff were very helpful, attentive and everything was so well priced.

I came here for a friend’s birthday dinner and upon entering, felt a warm and cosy atmosphere that screamed Italian. I think what must’ve added to this was the dimly lit lights and the italian accents from the waitstaff that hurdled through the room when taking orders. They were all lovely especially the hostess with the short black hair. In terms of food, we ordered a couple of pizzas and pastas to share. I found the pizzas were spot on with flavours although were a bit difficult to chew. The pastas were definitely the better half of the evening as they were fresh and consistently al-dente albeit on the eggier side. A generous amount of sauce coated the noodles that I predict may have been emulsified prior to serving. The truffle pappardelle was my favourite for sure - earthy and rich; it’s one for the mushroom lovers. When it came time to sing happy birthday to my friend, the staff kindly dimmed the lights and brought out the cake for us providing a nice surprise to end the night.

Came to Maccaroni Trattoria Italiana on a cold Tuesday night for dinner and left satisfied.

Atmosphere: Cosy, with candles, perfect for first dates (haven’t had mine yet!), although this may be a bit awkward for some. (4/5)

Service: Extremely friendly Italian servers, attentive and food came out relatively quickly (4.5/5)

Food: I ordered the Pappardelle Funghi E Tartufo, which was Fresh pappardelle, mushrooms, truffle sauce and parsley. Extremely hearty. The Pasta was cooked Al Dente, and the serving size was perfect, not too filling but a good size. Would return! (4/5)

I have come here for quite a few times. You will come here over and over again if you try once. The best pasta ever had in Melbourne. Love the truffle pappardelle and pork belly fettuccine here. Pasta are perfectly cooked and seasoned. You will understand what is the meaning of "al dente" after trying the pasta here.

Came here for the first time tonight before a show at the regent theatre. Staff were so friendly and welcoming; really cute place nice and cozy. We got the aranchini plate and calamari for entree and split a pizza and it was all really delicious. We were full after our entrees and didn’t think we’d make a dent in the pizza but only left 1 or 2 slices. I love places like this and will be back 😊

I love this place! Visited this place a couple of times, but the crowd every time has been unpredictable. So best to book before you visit. On our latest visit I noticed that we were ignored quite a few times when we wanted to order although 3 people seemed to be doing nothing and the 4th one was busy talking to customers at an existing table(noticed lot of similar incidents on the reviews). We almost got up to leave when finally orders were taken. However, The food was amazing as usual. Love the pizzas. Tried their almond ice cream dessert, did not like it as much. Food service was quick.

The pasta was great! Loved it! Pizza was sooooo salty, because of the olive and another little things which I dont know the name. Atmosphere is okay, nice decoration. Service was good. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, we didn’t have booking but I think its get very busy!

I can say, without hyperbole, that the pumpkin gnocchi was the best I have ever had. My mother loved the salmon gnocchi. Excellent service and timing of entree and main. Definitely worth booking a table if you enjoy delicious gnocchi.
