is an Italian cuisine restaurant in the northern suburbs of Adelaide. It is a casual relaxed restaurant where you can pop in for coffee or a meal.





The cafe has many tables and chairs located on two sides with the kitchen and counter in the middle. The kid's playground is tucked away on one corner so if you don't want to hear kids, you can sit on the other side. There is also an outdoor area through big glass doors.

The menu has breakfast choices and meals for lunch and dinner. Pizzas are popular here. There is also all the usual Italian meals such as risotto, pasta, salad and also steak and schnitzels. Desserts include gelato, tiramisu, cheesecakes and assorted pies.





I went here on a busy Saturday morning with a friend for coffee and cake. I was most disappointed that there was not a single offering of gluten free cake in the cabinet. As there were limited gluten free choices I decided to have a bacon and eggs breakfast and they did have some GF toast. These days a business really needs to offer both GF and vegetarian choices.

I am not a big coffee drinker but on this day I ordered a latte, which is mostly milk. It was far too strong and I had to take it to the counter and get them to make me a weaker one, so if you like a strong coffee then this is the place to try.



is a good alternative to fast food for those who live in the northern suburbs. The cafe is located on the side of the shopping centre. There is a Woolworths supermarket and an Aldi nearby. There is a good children's playground a little further up the road. Many people come to this area to see the display homes and land sales on weekends and a stop at this cafe will fuel you up for a busy day.
