Trattoria Emilia x Marco Dazzan x Alessandro Luppolo
Trattoria Emilia has spent ten years transporting people to Italy without leaving Melbourne, guided by head chefs and owners Francesco and Dino.
Marco specialises in authentic Italian fine dining and has built his career around Italian private dining in Melbourne.
Alessandro earned his Michelin star in Hong Kong, cooked at Attica, and now makes single-origin chocolate in Elsternwick.
This lunch is what happens when the three of them build a menu together.

Francesco
Francesco grew up in Modena and cooked in some of Italy's and Australia's finest kitchens before co-founding Trattoria Emilia in 2015. His approach to cuisine is instinctively creative. The way he reads a kitchen, an ingredient, a menu, is what gives Trattoria Emilia its character.
Head Chef & Owner - Trattoria Emilia
Dino
Dino grew up in Palermo and his pasta defies easy explanation. He takes a dish from a completely different tradition, rebuilds it as a pasta, and makes it feel like it could never have been anything else. That instinct is central to what Trattoria Emilia's kitchen is.
Head Chef & Owner - Trattoria Emilia
Marco's cooking is grounded in a deep knowledge of Italian fine dining. What he brings to the table is not just technique but an understanding of why Italian food works the way it does.
Personal ChefMarco Dazzan
Alessandro makes chocolate the way a chef thinks, not a confectioner. He brought a Michelin-starred pastry background and time at Attica to a small shop in Elsternwick, and built something that sits in a completely different category.
