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.

    Food was amazing! Looked and tasted so good. Would opt to share a plate next time as one plate is more than enough for two people. If you’re looking for great tasting meat and crunchy chips and fresh salad this is the place!

    Our food and the service were amazing! Our only downfalls was the heat and noise level. Very hard to have a conversation as it is quite a loud environment. And the front doors were open leaving us to feel a bit sweaty and uncomfortable while eating hot food! Won’t stop us from coming back though (: highly recommend!

    It’s been a while since I’ve been there, & I was pleasantly surprised. Warm welcome, friendly staff,food portions were generous & cooked freshly, with an interesting menu that included pub favourites, with twists on other menu offerings. Can highly recommended the beef stir fry!!-delicious. Prices aren’t exactly cheap, but it’s good value for what you get in regard to quality,freshness & portions. Ambiance is low light moodiness and surprisingly quiet considering its on such a busy road.
