A few steps from Kensington Station along Macaulay Road, wanderers both hungry and thirsty, will find solace at Mr Piccolo Kitchen & Bar. Queues form at a pristine white marble bar laden with ripe, colourful fruits stacked high, beneath a mounted wine rack holding a humble collection of appealing vintages. This marble theme continues through to the tables, matched with black leather tufted bench seats running the length of the venue; together the combination of casual elegance and rustic café chic makes for a warm and friendly atmosphere. With local produce and new twists, Nonna’s influences are seen in traditional Italian courses, like pappardelle, with slow braised lamb shoulder in tomato sugo and rosemary, or steamed black lip mussels with white wine, garlic butter and parsley.
