Trenino Trattoria

Clayfield

Trenino Trattoria is a charming Italian restaurant and bar located in a white Queenslander cottage it shares with EJ Station House in Clayfield.

Formerly home to local dining institution Wooden Horse, Trenino Trattoria is also by the owners of EJ Station House, with entry via a red door connecting the two.

Interior of Trenino Trattoria

Diners can take a seat in the cosy character-filled interior which features polished timber floors, red tiled tables and leather banquettes along the wall and enjoy Napoletano style pizzas and hand made pasta dishes.
