About Alta Trattoria

Tucked off Brunswick Street, Alta Trattoria brings unhurried Piedmontese trattoria craft straight into Fitzroy. The smart move: bypass the ordering debate and take the four-pasta set menu. Regulars point straight to the paper-thin dough and firm chew across plates of veal and sweet prawn. Starters pull their weight too—warm focaccia topped with salted anchovies alongside thinly sliced fig carpaccio. Floor staff pour Tasmanian cider and walk through the board with easy fluency, winding down over dark chocolate tiramisu.

  • Four-Pasta Progression: A focused multi-course tasting flight moving through four distinct pasta dishes, balancing delicate dough work with prawn and veal fillings.
  • Textural Starters: Sharable openers featuring warm house focaccia anchored by anchovies alongside finely sliced fig carpaccio.
  • Piedmontese Energy: A warm Brunswick Street dining room grounded in relaxed northern Italian hospitality and detailed menu guidance.
