                        About the restaurant
                It's perfect for
                nostalgic dinners that whisper “been serving since 1981” in warm pasta-scented tones.
            
            
                You need to try
                hearty classics like osso buco or spaghetti pescatora that say “absolutely.”
            
            
                Look out for
                family-run charm just steps from the MCG, like Italy hiding near your tram.
            
    Owned and operated by the same people since 1981, Geppetto Trattoria is something of a Melbourne institution. Their reputation is that they are one of Melbourne's best eating spots for home-style Italian cooking. They offer an unpretentious, reasonably priced menu of traditional cuisine including vegetarian and coeliac dished served in a friendly, comfortable atmosphere.
