Ordered crispy skinned salmon for takeaway.
Waited for about 12mins but it tasted sooooo good and fresh, will definitely come again.
Wish could have more veggie though....
Came here to buy a dish for takeaway. Quick and friendly service. The dish was crispy skinned salmon. Salmon was perfectly cooked and the whole dish tasted pretty good.
This is one of the first places I tried to get a decent cup of coffee and boy I have liked it ever since. While the cappuccino and flat white is great over here, my favourites here are Mocha and Italian hot chocolate. The HC is so glazy and indulging, it would be hard not to smile after that first sip. If you prefer a stronger dose for the day, Dirty Sicilian adds a shot of coffee to the Italian hot choc. The place usually runs special but revolves around the fresh produce. The fish is prepared really well and so is a simple fresh fruit salad. The place can seem pricey but is usually worth it. I have always liked having breakfast at the place. The Penne and Salmon are good too, but the only beef for me is the portion size which is questionable.
Vicolo is not a huge place, but decent enough for seating. The service is amazing and you can always see a queue early in morning till 10am. Worth to try the place just for a coffee.
Came here for an early breakfast before work... Liked the service and the hot chocolate was delicious! Also ordered the riccota and prosciutto brushetta and it was like having pizza for breakfast! Loved it!
Saw the line for takeaways out the door at this place so chose it to have breakfast during my stay in Sydney. My coffee didn't disappoint, and the fig sourdough toast spread with ricotta and honey was very tasty (and a combination I'll definitely start replicating for weekend brunches at home!) The funky industrial interior and friendly service topped it off - really good experience.
A lovely Italian cafe tucked away on Kent St, offering great ambience, super friendly service, and (apparently) great coffee.
Friendly and attentive service really adds up to the experience, even with something as simple as offering to take a photo when your friend is seen snapping shots of her beloved pasta 🍝
We had a staff recommend their iced coffees, where he explained that they're made shaken with ice rather as opposed to standard method. While it almost sounded like a cocktail and I was tempted, I unfortunately wasn't up for iced nor coffee - and instead went for a chai latte 😅 However I'm keen on coming back to try their iced coffee!
Great little gem fir a good coffee and a nice lunch! I got the chicken burger and the flavours were really good! I can't wait to go back! The staff are also so friendly!
Hidden gem!
Friendly staff, great atmosphere & delicious food. Good space to bring the team before work.
Coffee was good and service was quick.
Will definitely venture back!
My local haunt for customer meetings. When you see the queue out the door and the full tables, for such a small kitchen, it's a modern miracle how they consistently get my coffee and breakfast to me so quickly - they clearly understand how to keep their business patrons happy.
And goes without saying how good the coffee is. I tried the breakfast burger for something different today, loved it - gooey egg, crispy bacon, avocado, tomato and soft lightly toasted bun - how can you go wrong with that!
Great CBD casual lunch spot, and good coffee too. Not too casual for meetings either, suitable for a more relaxed meeting. Get the Porchetta Roll it's amazing.

Vicolo Café has an old world charm about it. Inside the brickwork is distressed adding to the charm. There is a spacious bar and an open kitchen. They seat 60 - 70 and there is also some outside seating. We commenced our meal with a glass each of lovely red wine. Sir had the 2014 Fantini Montepulciano D'Abruzzo which was described as - strong wild berry aroma, full bodied with clean aftertaste. Mlady had the 2013 Sangiovese Di Romagna Superiore, described as - moderately structured with red fruit on the nose, soft flavour good intensity. We both enjoyed our wines which went very well with our meals.
Our first entrée was nduja e ricotta di bufala - spicy calabrian style salami served with buffalo ricotta & crostini. This really was a spicy dish which we loved. Nice flavours with a big kick! Thoroughly enjoyed this. Next we had the Burrata - creamy Italian cheese served with baby beetroot & toasted almonds. LOVE beetroot! This was colourful and the wonderful creamy Italian cheese went so well with the coolness of the beetroot and with the crunchiness of the toasted almonds - we really loved this.
Vicolo has us sorted for a dinner of tasty proportions.
Set in an unassuming warehouse conversion on Kent St, this venue is unlike any other cafe in the area. With its exposed brick, brass tables and dim lighting, you'd be forgiven for thinking you'd walked into some cool Surry Hills bar...
Wow the coffee here is amazing. The extra block of walk from my office is so totally worth it. I'll be going back here instead of the coffee shops downstairs in my building. The staff here are really friendly too, makes me want go back even more.
Will definitely have to come back for lunch one day - food looks amazing.
A rather plush coffee spot in Kent St, with gorgeous brickwork set off by vintage lighting. Vicolo attracts a well heeled business crowd, and does a good job of churning out quality coffee to the queues of customers.
Fantastic cafe! Favourite cafe to take clients and have either a quick coffee with a client, or impress with their food!
The chef is amazing, staff friendly and great ambience! Definitely be back!!!
Great space that makes you wish you could sit in all day and drink coffee. Great friendly staff -all of them, and tasty food make this a new favourite for breakfast. Strongly recommended for what that is worth.
A touch of Rome in the middle of Sydney. We called into Vicolo Cafe for brunch. The amazing space had a fabulous fit out with exposed brick and polished concrete floors. There was a huge crowd waiting for take away coffees at the entrance (always a good sign). We managed to grab the last table left at the back of the cafe. The staff were friendly and attentive and smartly dressed. We soon had coffee ordered and water on the table. There was a lovely selection of fresh pastries as well as a good choice of dishes. We had the Italian BLT and the Ricotta and Italian Tomatoes Brushetta with poached eggs. Super yummy. Eggs done perfectly, BLT amazing. Coffee was outstanding. We will be back soon for lunch as well as the Friday night Apertivo which at only $20 a head with a glass of wine and a plate of food is great value. Highly recommended.
The food is great. I also appreciate for the service since every staffs there were nice and awesome. I am a visitor overseas and there the good environment and the coffee would be a unforgettable experience of this trip.
Very new to the city scene, but tested from out west, these guys run a tight ship. Really suggest you try them out, great coffee, nice food and a brilliant price. Seating can be hard for large groups, but for takeaway or one on one meeting point couldn't be in a better place.
Beautiful relaxing atmosphere, friendly and helpful service. Our meals were amazing and came out quickly. Definitely will be visiting again.
Good coffee, good food, and friendly service. These guys are one of my go to places for a morning or afternoon coffee. Had a sit down lunch here with colleagues yesterday. The service from your new employee (Irish guy, afraid I can't remember his name) was stellar! We really enjoyed the food as well.
I got a takeaway fettuccine carbonara for the first time recently and it was very good with the bonus for me being that I wasn't regretting my choice about halfway through because of the carbonara either being too creamy or the bacon overwhelming the dish. At $18 for a takeaway lunch in the city it's not a realistic everyday option for me but it was a nice once every couple weeks switch to my normal options.
Turned up before the official lunch hour, but it was no problem. Service was excellent, and the Gnocci Ragu (Lamb) just terrific.
Great breakfast - fantastic scrambled eggs on toast.

These guys do great coffee and delicious muffins. I haven't tried a lot of their food, but what I have tried was really good.
The staff are always friendly and remember my name and usual order.
They're often busy during peak coffee time, but no more than a couple minute wait. And if you want a table, I'd recommend booking ahead.
Staff are friendly and attentive. Coffee selection is excellent. Recommend the dirty Sicilian if you like mochas. Food is consistent and we'll cooked. Favourite is the crispy skin salmon. ($25) Could do with some sound baffling as it is very noisy and echos in almost all of the seats. Hard to hear over the kitchen dining sometimes.
