Pellegrini's Espresso Bar

  Strudel there is the best Strudel i ever had, and i been tasting strudel in many places. They make a flat dough put the apples on and then roll it , like a spiral. Coffee is what they really do there. They were the first coffee bar in Melbourne in the 1950s. After a while the guys behind the counter get to know you and greet you, and know what you like. Three of the old guard i know from 1975, and they remember me still.

  Three times in two days and I still have another day in Melbourne. Pellegrini's satiates all my Italian needs, wants and desires. Very disappointed in some of the reviews on here. For those who like a stool and old world, and an experience of Italian roots in Melbourne with a spoken menu of the best home made pasta, you will be completely satiated. Oh and the cakes.... just do it! Enjoy!

  We came here for dinner and had great tasting pasta. Had a very home style to the food. It did feel a little cramped inside, and the slight feeling to have you in and out. Overall not too bad.
