Cozy Alleyway Italian Spot: Truffle Cream Pasta Heaven 🍝

📍 Location Tucked in a charming laneway just 5 mins from Flinders Street Station, this romantic hideaway is perfect for birthdays or date nights—but book ahead! Walk-ins can snag outdoor seating if you’re okay with missing the intimate indoor vibe. 🍝 The Star: Black Truffle Cream Pasta Rating: 8/10 Why you’ll love it: Rich, truffle-packed sauce coats every strand of pasta. Generous portion (no “six noodles per plate” nonsense here!). First bite = mind-blowing 🧠💥… but pace yourself—it gets slightly heavy by the end. 🦑 Squid Ink Pasta Solid but overshadowed by the truffle star. It’s the “reliable backup singer”—consistent and satisfying till the last bite, just not as showstopping. 🍴 Pro Tip Split the truffle pasta with a friend and pair it with another dish (like the seafood linguine or a zesty salad) to balance the richness. Your taste buds will thank you! 🍷 Restaurant Details Name: Maccaroni Trattoria Italiana Address: 10-16 Manchester Ln, Melbourne VIC 3000 #MelbourneEats #HiddenGems #TruffleObsessed #DateNightGoals #ItalianFoodMagic
