About Fellini's Trattoria

Tucked along the river walk by the Story Bridge, Fellini's Trattoria serves up authentic Southern Italian cooking beneath an outdoor canopy of olive trees. Italian ex-pats point to the house eggplant parmigiana and rigatoni alla Norma for proof of honest home cooking. Tables fill out quickly on the garden terrace as dusk falls and the fairy lights flicker on. Pizzas come with a paper-thin crust that stays remarkably firm under fresh prawns, while bowls of spaghetti alle vongole and house-made tiramisù round out a relaxed evening by the water.

  • Olive Tree Garden Dining: Dine alfresco under shaded olive trees and gentle evening fairy lights right off the river walk.
  • Southern Italian Fare: Handmade rigatoni alla Norma, eggplant parmigiana, and crispy thin-crust pizza served by welcoming staff.

Before you head over

Practical guidance on transit, riverfront seating, and weekday specials

  • Arrive by River Ferry

    Fellini's is situated directly along the New Farm River Walk near Howard Smith Wharves, making CityCat ferry access via the nearby terminal a convenient arrival option for evening dining.

  • Dog-Friendly Riverwalk Visits

    Morning visits along the river pathway get busy with commuters, runners, and scooters, so choosing lawn-side tables provides extra space when visiting with dogs.

  • Thursday Pasta & Wine Special

    Take advantage of mid-week dining specials like Fellini's Thursday pasta and pinot pairing while securing alfresco seating under the olive trees.
