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.

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.
A Bookable, traditional, 4 course set menu Italian supper of simple deliciousness and an abundance of true after dark Italian hospitality.
We'll release the menu and new dates every month - click through to find out more and book...
We are beautiful but small, so our After Dark activities get booked up rather rapidamente.
