About Pellegrino 2000

Downstairs in the candlelit wine cellar, this Surry Hills trattoria turns handmade pasta into an effortless art form. Snagging a table takes persistence, but the reward is immediate once warm focaccia arrives alongside truffle cheese butter. The kitchen hits its stride with thin, tender prawn ravioli and rich calamarata al nero di seppia, followed by crisp veal cutlets. Solo diners pull up a barstool for half-portions and quick banter with the crew. Regulars know the drill—save room for the signature banana creme caramel before finishing with a neat pour of amaro.

  • Handmade Pastas & Secondi: Thin, delicate pasta parcels like the signature prawn ravioli and rich calamarata al nero di seppia lead the menu alongside classic veal and pork cutlets.
  • Subterranean Cellar Setting: A moody, candlelit subterranean room framed by wine bottles sets an intimate stage for date nights and celebrations.
  • Bar Seating for Solos: Counter seating offers front-row views of the kitchen team alongside accommodating service and flexible half-portions for solo diners.
  • Banana Creme Caramel: The kitchen’s signature creme caramello crowned with banana cream provides a memorable finale to the meal.

  • Attentive and Accommodating Service

    Staff offer warm, detail-oriented hospitality, seamlessly navigating dietary needs, custom course pacing, and pairing suggestions.

    The waiter, Will, explained very clearly on what I could and couldn’t have. And they were so accomodating in making sure my Pork cotoletta was well done.

  • Masterfully Crafted Handmade Pasta

    The kitchen's handmade pastas, from delicate prawn ravioli to rich ragu pappardelle, deliver textbook texture and balanced sauces.

    the ravioli was the standout—perfectly thin pasta with the best texture, not too soft or too firm.
