Overview
Tipo 00 is a small pasta bar with a big reputation. Since opening in 2014, it has captured the hearts of Melbourne’s food lovers with its devotion to fresh pasta, seasonal Italian flavours, and down-to-earth charm. Named after the finely milled Italian flour used in pasta-making, the venue focuses on simple food done with skill, care, and top-quality ingredients.
The star of the show is the pasta—made fresh daily and served in rich, nuanced combinations. Signature dishes include the squid ink tagliolini with bottarga, the beloved tagliatelle with mushroom and truffle, and the indulgent gnocchi with braised duck. Antipasti such as beef carpaccio and burrata start things off, and the menu often changes to reflect what’s in season.
Tipo 00’s wine list is carefully curated with a focus on Italian and Australian labels, perfect for pairing with pasta or simply enjoying at the bar. The team offers knowledgeable yet unpretentious service, contributing to a welcoming and relaxed vibe that encourages lingering over lunch or dinner.
With its dark timber interiors, soft lighting, and open kitchen, the space is both elegant and intimate—ideal for date nights, solo diners at the counter, or small group catch-ups. Tipo 00 is a true Melbourne treasure: humble, high-quality, and always satisfying.
