Pellegrini's Espresso Bar

Fantastic coffee

Oldest coffee in Melbourne

R.I.P Sisto

Just wow. The absolute best Italian in Melbourne without a shadow of a doubt. The staff are extremely friendly and you feel like family when you walk in the door. The food is out of this world amazing. The perfect comfort food on a rainy Melbourne day is spaghetti bol and lasagne. Everything was so flavourful and cooked perfectly. Can not recommend this place enough! The granita was delicious - a watermelon and I think orange iced drink.

The environment was interesting, very “American New York” style. The plates were very generous and tasted great, the mozzarella Bolognese was a little to salty for my liking. Over all great, but not sure if I would come back.

This is the second time we’ve come here immediately after a Covid lockdown ended. Just knowing you can’t get to an establishment like this makes it double the torture. Get here at last and IT’S SO reassuring, so comforting, like you know it would be. This is the kind of place that even on your 20th visit you’ll still be bragging to your friends, sharing pasta photos, discuss desserts etc. I’ll stop now.

Its the kind of place Melbourne is known for! Its a beautiful small cafe with a rich history, near a corner of the town that only coffee lovers would manage to find! It servers delicious coffee with a creme caramel to die for! If you are looking for a true Melbourne experience, this is where you go to forget your mid-week blues.

Went there with family for coffee. Ordered a cappuccino and was brought a coffee with no froth on it at all. My dad ordered a latte and his also had no froth. Coffee itself tasted very bitter. Definitely not sure what the fuss is about.. Though we didn't try the food..

Average tasting pasta but it is a Melbourne icon and unique in its own way. Good place to get a coffee but not much else unfortunately.

Fantastic coffee and atmosphere. Walking in & the devine smells of delicious food cooking. A little piece of Italy on Melbourne ❤❤
