Pellegrini's Espresso Bar Melbourne, Australia

Pellegrini has been serving coffee and Italian food to the people of Melbourne for years. The meals are very close to home cooked fare and they don't believe in small portions and everything out here is served in large bowls, including spaghetti or lasagna. The bar is long and narrow with stools, and a huge table is placed in the kitchen. Don't ask for a menu when you walk in, because their menu is a board on the wall! The minestrone du jour, spaghetti marinara, pizza napoletana, risotto primavera, ravioli Genovese, and cannelloni alla nicoise with the side bread, or the daily salad are good options. If there's something you want that's not listed, then a request for the same could kill those cravings.
