Alta Trattoria

Tucked off Brunswick Street. Effortless sprezzatura. Alta Trattoria delivers a lively, energetic ambiance paired with insanely rich, regional Italian cooking. Melbourne pasta obsessives constantly trade notes on the meticulously thin, perfectly al dente creations here. Forget decision fatigue—the four-pasta set menu is the ultimate power move. Texturally brilliant starters. Anchovy-crowned focaccia. Deeply flavorful veal and prawn plates. The kitchen channels true Piemontese soul, though whispers of a fresh Sicilian evolution are already buzzing among Fitzroy regulars. Welcoming, hyper-knowledgeable staff guide you through the warm dining room, pouring Tasmanian ciders and plating up a fiercely chocolatey tiramisu. A cosy, authentic masterclass in simple, vibrant dining.
