Celebrated table
The story
The number in the name is not decorative. 1929 Trattoria Moderna in Goiânia signals a deliberate nod to a particular era — one when Italian trattorias were defined by conviviality, honest ingredients, and tables that rewarded those who lingered. The "Moderna" half of the name promises that this is not a museum piece.
What sets 1929 Trattoria Moderna apart in Goiânia's dining scene is the wine list. Wine Spectator granted the restaurant its Award of Excellence in 2025 — a recognition given only to establishments whose lists demonstrate genuine depth, balance, and thoughtful pairing with the food on the table. For a trattoria serving Italian cuisine in the heart of Brazil's interior, that distinction is meaningful. It reflects a commitment that goes well beyond a house red and a house white.
Located on Alameda Ricardo Paranhos in Goiânia, 1929 Trattoria Moderna serves both lunch and dinner, making it a viable choice whether you're looking for a midday pause or an evening at the table. The combination of Italian cuisine and a Wine Spectator-recognized cellar gives it a clear identity in a city where that pairing is rare.
