Great, little, unassuming cafe/bar where you can BYO. We popped in for a dinner feed where they offer a Pretty simple fare; we chose the quiches which were cheap and tasty. Owner Seamus (I think his name was) was friendly, chilled and you can absolutely see his influence on the place. When we were there, there were a couple of colourful locals which added to the random and fun vibe of the night.
Like I said, a tiny place, which is perfect for a little coffee stop, cheap/simple feed, unassuming hang.
Piccolo Bar has had a update! The photos and the rich smell of coffee is still there as well as the wonderful owner Vittorio Bianchi, but let’s face facts – Kings Cross is anything but bohemian these days. Piccolo Bar lost its mojo with time and the twenty something year olds really don’t care about its 60 year history (more’s the pity). So I guess an update was a good start to move on – so the walls are now white, there are touches of red everywhere and a brightness about the room that was never there. I think this is a good change? but there is part of me that loved it the way it was – when you were not quite sure who was in the corner and what deal, if any, was being done.
Great little Cafe. Easy to understand why this place is a Kings Cross icon. We go here for our gelato and coffee, and the price and quality beat its competitors hands down. A traditional Italian eatery and cafe, that doesn't try too hard. Why queue up at Messina, when you can have the entire experience here?
