  • A Ligurian Feast by Alta Trattoria - MFWF

    A$120.00 per person

    23 Mar 2025 only
    Melbourne Food & Wine Festival 2025 Drawing on his years working at Michelin-starred Balzi Rossi in Ventimiglia, Alta Trattoria’s chef McKay Wilday will take you on a journey to the Ligurian coast. The combination of exquisite seafood and the bountiful array of produce is what draws Wilday to Liguria, and why he believes Melbourne is the ideal setting to showcase the Italian region’s simple and honest approach to cooking. Using Victoria’s finest produce, this four-course feast will showcase classic Ligurian dishes such as trofie al pesto, pansotti al preboggion, cappon magro and coniglio alla Ligure. Alongside the feast, there will be a selection of Ligurian wines curated by the Alta Trattoria team.

    Alta Trattoria is a neighbourhood treasure. The food is unique to the Piedmont region of north-west Italy. Despite being a frequent and enthusiastic Italian food eater, I encounter many dishes and pasta combinations that I have never before encountered. On previous occasions I have dined with a group and that allows various snacks and mains to be ordered and shared. Not so easy with dinner for two for my latest visit. But I needn't have worried! The La Sinfonia, "a symphony of pasta" set menu was offered allowing for snacks and 4 different pastas in small serves, including 2 that weren't available a la carte. Everything was delicious, but it's the service that takes Alta to the next level. Low key, professional and friendly the staff were absolutely terrific. Not cheap but great value and the decor, which includes some lovely art works lends itself to a low key mid-week dinner or a special occasion. Love, love love Alta and would highly recommend it.

    Excellent food, wine and service. Beautiful decor but music a little too loud for older folk like us. Not cheap but such good quality worth it for a special occasion.

    We’ve dined here a few times now. Last night was actually the best food so far and there was no second seating so we had a really relaxed and delicious dinner. Team nailed it. Well done.

    Top end Italian food. Great service, very knowledgeable, competent, and measured. Wine list is a superb journey through Italy, filled with gems (but maybe not a huge number of bargains). I've been numerous times, never disappointed, will keep going back. One of Melbourne's Italian gems.
