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.

Before you head over

Practical advice on table reservations, bar dining flexibility, and menu planning.

  • Reserve Early for the Wine Cellar

    Tables book out quickly and walk-in space is limited, so reserve in advance or request the intimate downstairs wine cellar specifically for date nights and special occasions.

  • Opt for Counter Seating for Solo Portions

    Solo diners and walk-ins can sit at the bar for attentive hospitality, with staff able to accommodate single pasta orders and half portions of starters like artichokes and focaccia.

  • Save Appetite for the Banana Crème Caramel

    Portions on the savory courses are hearty—plan accordingly or ask to pack mains like the cotoletta to leave room for the signature banana crème caramel or tiramisu.
