Melbourne’s Bortolotto family – have created a succession of modern Italian restaurants where food, wine, service and atmosphere blend beautifully together. As always, at Cecconi’s we take great pride in using only the freshest ingredients available, which we source from local producers, organic wherever possible, including our own home-grown vegetables from the family farm. As part of our commit

ment to all things fresh and environmentally friendly, Cecconi’s has partnered with Closed Loop to achieve a 70 percent recycle rate on all our fresh and dried produce, packaging and glass, putting us at the forefront of restaurant recycling in Australia.

Winter has arrived, and with it, truffle season.

Our Tagliolini al Tartufo returns; crowned with black truffles sourced from regional Victoria and Manjimup, Western Australia, two of the finest truffle terroirs in the country.

Intensely aromatic and deeply earthy, these truffles can also be shaved generously over gnocchi, our risotto of the day, or beef carpaccio.

Reserve your truffle fix at cecconis.com, or via link in bio.

Every restaurant has a handful of dishes that become part of its identity.

Our Veal Cotoletta is one of them.

It has been on the menu since Cecconi’s first opened its doors more than 30 years ago. Passed down through generations, the recipe remains the same today as it did then. Not out of nostalgia, but because it never needed changing.

It’s the dish our regulars return for. The one recommended across tables. The order that’s become a tradition for many who have dined with us over the decades.

Some dishes earn their place on a menu. This one earned its place in our history.

📷 20th Anniversary Part 1/4
Some of our favourite moments from our 20th Anniversary Celebration Dinner.

An evening filled with incredible food, great wine, laughter, and a room full of people we’re fortunate enough to call family.

Over the past 20 years, we’ve watched generations come through our doors. Having some of our longest-standing diners join us to celebrate this milestone made the evening even more special.

The stories shared, memories revisited, and friendships celebrated are moments we’ll carry with us for years to come.

Grazie to each of you for being a part of our journey. 🖤

“Had a lovely dinner at Cecconi’s Flinders Lane. The space is elegant and intimate, perfect for a date or special occasion.

The bread was warm and the steak was cooked perfectly - tender and full of flavour. The pasta was rich yet balanced with may favorite pork ragu, and the salad added a fresh touch.

Service was attentive and professional, with a smooth pace throughout the meal.

Overall, a reliable fine dining experience in Melbourne.”
- Sylvia Liu

Hand-folded agnolotti filled with spinach and ricotta, finished with walnut, butter and sage. Simple ingredients - big flavour.

The butter is warmed slowly until it turns silk-like and fragrant with sage. The walnuts bring earth and texture.

The agnolotti? Made in house daily. Rolled, filled, folded and cut one by one- with love.

One table, pasta for two in the heart of the city. It’s not just a reservation, it’s a memory in the making.

Fremantle octopus with gazpacho, fregola, green tomato and olive.

Tender octopus from the Western Australian coast, balanced against the brightness of gazpacho and the quiet salinity of olive. Fregola brings warmth and texture beneath it all, while green tomato keeps the plate sharp, bright and fresh.

A dish that belongs at the table alongside a crisp glass of cold, white wine.

Fremantle octopus over open flame: Charred slowly until the edges begin to crisp and curl, while the centre stays beautifully tender. Smoky, delicate and slightly sweet; the kind of ingredient that asks for restraint rather than reinvention.

An honour and a privilege. We were delighted to join an intimate trade event at the world-renowned Mount Edelstone Vineyard, nestled in the breathtaking Eden Valley of South Australia. In the company of the remarkable Stephen & Prue Henschke, we experienced some of the finest wines Australia - and indeed the world - has to offer; alongside an exquisite lunch enjoyed in beautiful sunshine.

Our deepest gratitude to Stephen and Prue for their extraordinary warmth and generosity. A day that will not soon be forgotten. 🍷

Twenty years ago, we opened our doors on Flinders Lane with a simple belief: Great food is nothing without the people who share it.

Two decades later, that belief hasn’t changed. What has changed is the thousands of tables turned, the celebrations witnessed, the regulars who became family, and the team who showed up, day after day. It is what has made Cecconi’s Flinders Lane what it is.

To every guest who has sat with us, laughed with us, and trusted us with your most meaningful moments: this anniversary belongs to you.

And to our team: the ones who’ve been there from day one, through to the one’s who became family over the months and years; you didn’t just take a job, you joined something.

This place runs on your hands, your heart, and the kind of camaraderie that can’t be taught. You are not just ‘colleagues’. You are our family and the soul of this establishment.

Over the years, the accolades and awards have been humbling,  but they have always been a reflection of you: The people in our kitchen, on our floor, and at our tables.

Thank you for 20 years. Here’s to many more.

Another from Alessandro: His modern interpretation of the Italian cannoli.

Everything about this dessert is incredible; but those candied pistachios? You’ll have to try them for yourself.

This isn’t just any steak. This is Mayura Station. And if you haven’t tried it yet, consider this your sign.

What you’re tasting isn’t ordinary Wagyu. It’s full-blood, multi award-winning beef, raised on a family estate in South Australia and finished on a chocolate-based diet. Yes, really.

That final detail? It’s what gives Mayura its signature. Deep, buttery marbling. A richness that lingers. A texture that barely needs a knife.

Every cut is the result of craft, patience, and a standard that doesn’t bend. This isn’t just steak. It’s an experience.

Perfectly paired with Henschke Hill of Grace 2004; Two South Australian icons on one table. The wine’s silky tannins and layered dark fruit cut through the richness of the Wagyu, while its earthy, savoury depth mirrors the umami of the beef. It doesn’t overpower; it elevates. Each bite, each sip, just builds.

Baccalà mantecato, reimagined. Ours? Aquna Murray cod.

Sourced from the native river systems of the Murray–Darling Basin, this Australian icon is pond-grown for a more sustainable future.

Creamy, delicate, and quietly rich - served with acqua pazza, olive, and a crisp of polenta.
