I had a delicious beef sandwich on dark bread with a fantastic horseradish/mayo, pickled cabbage combination. A great little spot to stop for lunch, with friendly staff who will explain how to make delicious pickled cabbage. 5 stars, but for me saving 1 for a special day when I am “blown away. Enjoy.

I recently discovered a charming bistro that serves excellent coffee alongside mouthwatering Italian treats. Their croissants are perfectly flaky, and their tarts are simply divine. The cozy atmosphere and friendly staff make it a perfect spot for a quick bite or a leisurely coffee break. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy authentic Italian flavors in a relaxed setting!

What a gem! The coffee was quick and good quality, the focaccia porchetta was amazing (the housemade pork a standout!), and the vanilla custard croissant was top tier, legitimate. Ended up taking the chocolate mousse and custard home, phenomenal arvo snack!

Yum, yum, yum!!! Speechless. I ordered the Lazanga Bolognese, and it's so delicious. Everyone needs to try one. Service is 10/10.

What a gem of a place! A delectable selection of fine in-house made savoury and sweet items on the menu. The Reuben sandwich I had here (made to order) was one of the best I have had in Canberra! Amazing cannoli to top it off! Decent prices for quality you'd find in the best European cities. Friendly and passionate staff. The only problem is everything looks so good– it's hard to choose! I guess the only solution is to come back often and try to taste everything! Grazie mille!

We tried the hamburgers and chips for lunch. The outdoor seating was pleasant, although limited. The burgers used tasty Italian ingredients, and the chips were hot and crispy. Very nice.
