Bar Novanta – Lalor Hub

Bar Novanta is a family-run modern trattoria in Lalor, bringing the authentic flavours of Rome to Melbourne’s north. With roots tracing back to Rome and a passion for traditional cooking, the family opened Bar Novanta in 2018 to share genuine Italian cuisine with the local community. The space is warm, clean and contemporary, offering a relaxed yet polished dining experience with spacious indoor seating and a small outdoor area—perfect for families, locals and casual catch-ups.

The menu showcases modern Italian dishes made with traditional techniques, including homemade gnocchi, spaghetti alle vongole, wood-fired pizzas and arancini. Desserts are a standout, especially their signature Pizzoli, alongside a well-loved cocktail list featuring favourites like the Espresso Martini. With gluten-free and coeliac-friendly options, standout service and a slightly elevated take on classic Italian dining, Bar Novanta offers something more than your standard pizza and pasta experience.
