Maria's Trattoria

Best Known For

Pumpkin Agnolotti ai Funghi - pumpkin pockets of pasta filled with ricotta and roast almonds served in a cream and mushroom sauce; and Tartufo for dessert - traditional chocolate ball.

Close by Chapel Street is Maria’s Trattoria, a family owned-restaurant run by Maria and her two daughters. The family has been serving fresh homemade pastas and gnocchi to Melbournians since the 1990s. The time may have flown, though nothing changes at Maria’s; you’re always greeted like a long lost friend and served fresh authentic Italian meals in a simple cosy setting. Maria shops at the Queen Victoria Markets and her menu could include Risotto Rucola - risotto woven with rocket, sundried tomato, black olives and bacon. Whatever's seasonal and fresh is recommended, though the quality is always there in every dish and that's Maria's guarantee.
