About the restaurant

250 Grammi is a concept born in D&D’s mind many years ago.

The goal was to share with people Italian authenticity with a twist.

No more main meals but a lot of different dishes to be shared, like an Italian Sunday lunch with friends and family

250 Grammi is the weight of the dough ball before its evolution: from a combination of grains and flours through to a long maturation to become an amazing outburst of flavours in the form of a pizza

To compliment all of this, 250 Grammi have sourced a perfectly matching wine list, which proveniences range from Italy to France to Australia & more

Thank you for sharing this experience with us
The 250 Grammi Family.

All bookings will have a 90 minute time limit.
10% Surcharge will be applied on Sundays.
17% surcharge will be applied on public holidays.

The zucchini flowers and gnocchi were the best I've ever had anywhere. Just amazing, melt in your mouth food, with beautiful flavours and perfect combinations. It was very busy with all tables full but the wait staff and chefs were very efficient and our food arrived quickly.

Great new pizza spot in Peregian. Speedy and friendly service. Starters generous and tasted great. Good selection of pizzas at reasonable prices. Would be nice to have the option of a couple of non pizza mains! Tried the tiramisu and chocolate mousse which were both delicious. Kids pizza also a good size.
