How we read reviews →Sicilian soul on Puckle St. fresh cotoletta panini, focaccia pizza, and heartwarming Italian hospitality
Cosy Italian café with background Italian music, charming simple décor, and warm mother-daughter ownership that creates a genuine neighbourhood feel on Puckle Street. Intimate and relaxed rather than polished.
All food made fresh from scratch by owner-cook Gianna; private function space available for micro weddings and events; homemade Italian biscuits and cakes; no surcharges applied.
Sicilian-Italian heritage is the backbone of the menu. owner Gianna draws on her Sicilian roots for caponata, cotoletta, and uova in purgatorio. Multiple Italian-heritage diners confirm the authenticity of the flavours.
Mid-range café pricing comparable to the area. $18 focaccia pizza squares and $20 chicken parmigiana represent fair value for the quality. Generous portions and fresh ingredients justify the spend for most reviewers.
