Welcome to our Caffè & Mercato
Our piccolo caffè just became a little more grande! We've breathed out across our whole space, adding in a 'mercato' shop counter and coffee bar.
We haven't added more tables! We've just made a little more space in our kitchen to help chef create, but please consider that everything is made from scratch and good things sometimes take a little longer. It's not rapido but it is delizioso

People ask us why Italian?
We wanted food that was simple but incredibly flavoursome. Our caffè is piccolo, so every crostini, bruschetta, small plate, nibble, focaccia sarni, ciabatta breakfast roll, warming bowl & toasted focaccia is oozing with love and umami.

Like all Italians (and Australians) we take coffee very seriously. We set out to serve the very BEST coffee and with the help of our famiglia del caffè we strive to do so every day, every cup. Our drinks menu is delicious, original & sometimes weird - it's in our blood.

We've been adopted by Italian food Royalty Vallebona. Stefano began importing the finer tastes of Italy 30 years ago and now with his beautiful wife Naoko, supplies the who’s who of chefs, finest hotels, elite food halls and little old us! We couldn't be more grateful.

Right from the start we were determined to use the very best and least wasteful packaging. That's why we use decent

Once a month our piccolo caffè shimmers in candlelight as we open up after dark. Crisp white linen and glistening glasses grace the tables for our CENA ITALIANA.
