Leicchardt, Sydney's 'Little Italy', is a vibrant, thriving centre of Italian Restaurants, cafes and bars. The area is home to many Australians with an Italian background and not surprisingly their influence is very much evident. The shop devoted to Ferrari seems very appropriate here. Norton Street, the areas heart, is lined with places to eat, shops, cafes, delis-all with an Italian theme. The newly opened Italian Piazza, recreated after a typical Italian town square has only enhanced the desirability of Leicchardt. Complete, with fountain, statue of Dante, column's and amphitheater like steps you could almost forget you are in Sydney. A stroll around both of its levels will reveal chic Italian designer boutiques, delicatessens, cafes, restaurants and bars. Apartments, complete with balconies surround and face into the Piazza, add to the vibrancy and life of the place. Leicchardt is perfect for that 3 hour indulgent Italian lunch, relaxing in the afternoon sun watching the world go by. Leicchardt is about six miles west of central Sydney off Parramatta Road.
