About Mamma's Boy Trattoria

Tucked just off Sydney Road in Brunswick, this laneway trattoria serves scratch-made Italian comfort with the hospitality of a family home. Regulars make a beeline for the pillowy truffle gnocchi, golden mushroom arancini, and slow-braised beef cheek that falls apart on the fork. The kitchen leans into regional heritage with four distinct Montepulciano d'Abruzzo pours alongside Puglia Primitivo—finishing strong with chilled, house-made limoncello.

  • Curated Abruzzo Wine List: Four distinct Montepulciano d'Abruzzo selections and Puglia Primitivo celebrate the chef's regional heritage.
  • Scratch-Made Italian Comfort: Pillowy gnocchi with guanciale and truffle, plus slow-braised beef cheek and crisp mushroom arancini.
