The story
Lakeside Trattoria sits inside Wynn Macau and does exactly what its name promises: Italian cooking with a front-row view of Nam Van Lake. The setting is white, black and gold, with Calacatta marble surfaces and hanging pendant lights that give the dining room a composed, unhurried elegance. A sun-lit terrace extends the space outdoors, making the lake view as much a part of the experience as what arrives on the table.
The kitchen runs from early morning through to late evening, covering more ground than most Italian restaurants in the city. Mornings bring a semi-buffet alongside an à la carte breakfast menu. By midday the focus shifts to the kind of Italian cooking the trattoria is best known for — Roman-style pizzas and handmade fresh pastas that anchor both the lunch and dinner menus. Between meals, the Mercato counter and an afternoon tea service keep the room animated throughout the afternoon.
Wine Spectator awarded Lakeside Trattoria its Best of Award of Excellence for 2025, a recognition that reflects the seriousness of the cellar here. For a restaurant that serves Italian cuisine from morning through to a late dinner sitting, a wine list of this calibre is a genuine asset rather than an afterthought.
Dress code is casual and diners of all ages are welcome, which sets a tone that is refined without being stiff. Whether the visit is a leisurely weekend breakfast with lake views, a pasta lunch, or an evening dinner with a well-chosen bottle, Lakeside Trattoria offers a consistent and considered Italian experience in one of Macau's most distinctive resort settings.
