  • A Ligurian Feast by Alta Trattoria - MFWF

    $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.

    The servers are very kind, attentive, and informed about the food. We had the $85 tasting menu and didn’t really like any of it. Most of the sauces all have the same note - lemony basil pesto. Food was presented well but flavors fell flat.

    Alta is a wonderful discovery. The vitello tonnato was the best I've had. And the servive was attentive without being intrusive. Perfetto!

    Alta is a true neighbourhood gem. The venue is intimate but relaxed, beautifully put together and as welcoming as an old friend’s home. The food is outstanding, hard to beat in Melbourne. The current spring menu is the best we’d had at Alta. Crisp fried zucchini flowers, new asparagus, a house favourite vitello tonato, delicately prepared. The pastas were a stand out. Something similar to fettuccine with prawns in complex zucchini based sauce. And a lobster lasagne. Wow! This time we couldn’t fit in the temping mains which included mackerel with shellfish and a spring lamb dish. Desserts looked delicious but next time! Service is spot in. If you haven’t been, give this restaurant a go. You won’t be disappointed.
