About Marinara Trattoria

A bustling Paddington staple serving hearty, unpretentious Australian-Italian comfort plates. Tight tables, lively chatter—this neighborhood trattoria fills fast for generous bowls of seafood risotto, rich classic carbonara, and piping-hot cannelloni. The kitchen runs all day when nearby burners go cold at 2pm. Diners choose sweets from a physical dessert platter wheeled tableside, with many pointing straight to the espresso-soaked tiramisu.

  • Homestyle Italian Comforts: Generous bowls of seafood risotto, classic carbonara, and piping-hot baked cannelloni.
  • Tableside Dessert Board: Staff present a physical dessert tray right at the table to showcase cakes and tiramisu before you order.
  • All-Day Kitchen: Continuous kitchen service keeps hot pasta coming right through quiet late afternoon hours.

  • Tableside Dessert Platter Presentation

    We were then brought out the desserts on offer on a plate so that we could SEE them. This was a wonderful touch.

    Unlike most local spots that shut between lunch and dinner, the kitchen serves hot, sit-down meals right through late afternoon hours.

  • Reliable Dining During Off-Peak Hours

    Guests can easily find full-course pasta dishes and hearty lunches during off-peak times like 2pm when Paddington options are scarce.

    We were looking for a late lunch around Paddington—never an easy task at 2pm—when we stumbled upon Marinara Trattoria.

  • Coordinated Service for Big Gatherings

    The kitchen smoothly serves large parties simultaneously with piping-hot courses and thoughtful hospitality touches for special moments.

    Considering how busy they were, the wait for our meals wasn't that long at all and they all came out hot and approximately the same time.

    We ordered the Fettuccini Marinara and it came with a lot of seafood and the sauce was incredibly tasty and creamy.

  • Cannelloni

    The cannelloni was served piping hot and really hearty, it tasted quite homemade and authentic.

  • Carbonara

    The carbonara was a classic done quite well - the creaminess of the sauce was balanced out by the saltiness of the bacon bits.
