4 italian spots in CBD and Laneways

Tipo 00

Order Tagliolini al nero with squid and bottarga

Tipo 00 on Little Bourke Street serves house-rolled pasta in a tight CBD room. The squid-ink tagliolini and wagyu mafaldine have been selling out for years.

Roma

Order Tonnarelli cacio e pepe, tableside

Roma on Collins Street is Melbourne's most disciplined Roman trattoria: cacio e pepe tableside, proper tonnarelli and a small menu that refuses to overstep.

Grossi Florentino

Order Hand-rolled pasta of the day from the cellar bar menu

Grossi Florentino holds two Good Food Guide hats. The upstairs room is the classical Italian benchmark; the Cellar Bar serves the same food more casually.

Grossi Cellar Bar

Order Fresh pasta of the day with a glass of Barolo

Grossi Cellar Bar serves the same kitchen as upstairs at half the price: fresh pasta, cured meats and Italian classics at a curved marble bar in the CBD.
