Next door, a small, trattoria-style eatery serves homemade gelato and delicious foccacias.
About Leichhardt
If you love all things Italian, and that includes handmade pasta, freshly ground coffee, seasonal gelati and stylish shoes, make your way to Leichhardt. This inner west suburb is just a 20-minute bus ride from the city centre. Most of Leichhardt’s action occurs on Norton Street, that’s lined with delis, cafes and cake shops. Casual dining is the focus here at cafes such as Bar Italia, Bar Sport and Berkelouw.
Head to the library at the Italian Forum to find out about the area’s local history or follow the walking trail from Leichhardt along Sydney harbour foreshore to pretty Gladstone Park in nearby Balmain.
