Although we cannot go overseas right now, it's essential to stay connected and to meet others with a passion for Italian food and good conversation.

Join me to dine on a traditional Italian feast from the foodie region of Emilia-Romagna, in the heart of Melbourne. Trattoria Emilia in Melbourne's CBD is the perfect blend of my home and yours.

It's the place you go when you need to leave the house but still feel like you're right at home.

From the restaurant website:

'Emilia brings you food that is rustic yet refined with fantastic ambiance, attentive and professional service whilst all the while remaining a great casual dining spot perfect for a quick lunch or a long relaxing dinner.'

We will have:

-Antipasti misti to share including 3 courses

-2 traditional home made pasta like tagliatelle al ragu' (plated) and ravioli di magro (spinach and ricotta with butter and sage) to share.

- a dessert

Dinner $78

*Drinks at own expense.
