Discover regional dishes at Italian restaurants across Melbourne
Italian is one of the finest cuisines in the world, renowned for its wealth of ingredients, regional variations and streamlined approach to recipes. Even at the most refined Italian restaurants in Melbourne, dishes tend to be defined by the superior quality of the ingredients used, rather than fancy frills and elaborate presentation. Regional differences have narrowed somewhat since the unification of Italy in the 19th century, but a proud sense of tradition has ensured that many parts of the Italian peninsula are still synonymous with signature dishes and produce. - 2.
Savour southern Italy
Italian restaurants in Melbourne are plentiful, and the many restaurateurs running them claim ancestry from immigrants who flocked to Victoria from Calabria and Sicily in the 1800s, so you can expect a showcase of Mezzogiorno flavours at Italian restaurants in Melbourne. Calabrian cuisine is well-known for its magnificent Mediterranean character, with a healthy balance of meat and vegetable based dishes, alongside delicious cold cuts and mouthwatering seafood specialities. Affectionately known as God's Kitchen due to its abundance of premium produce, Sicilian cuisine is brimming with rich dishes veering on the healthy side with plenty of vegetables, lean meats and fresh seafood. Artichokes and aubergines form the foundation of many meals, while sea bream, swordfish and sardines ensure the simplest fish supper is bursting with flavour. - 3.
What would we do without pizza or pasta?
We honestly, have no idea! Lucky for us, Italian restaurants in Melbourne know what they’re doing, with proper pizzerias serving up stone-baked and woodfired pizza, done the traditional way. Craving a margarita? Or perhaps a pumpkin & prosciutto is more your style? You'll find some of the finest pizzas in Australia in the Victorian state capital. In fact, the city is home to Australia’s very first pizzeria, going strong since 1961. Prefer pasta to pizza? Dive into a generous portion of spaghetti alla puttanesca, a spicy twist on the pomodoro recipe, enriched with capers, black olives and fresh oregano, or feast on homemade gnocchi with a rich tomato sauce brimming with flavour. - 4.
