Book NowAbout 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.

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.
