We grew up on Nonna’s classic pizzas, freshly made pasta and Italian sweets. Noisy family gatherings, a little indulgence and a lot of fun. 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.

My husband and I had a set menu and it did not disappoint! Lots of different starters to taste a few dishes, and the mains were very generous. The dishes were prepared the traditional way and tasted amazing. To end the night, we had Greek coffee, baklava and loukoumades - perfect! Highly recommend for anyone who likes their Greek food traditional.
