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.
