Café Piccolo Erko on Erskineville Road is where traditional Australian tucker meets authentic Italian cuisine. This fun and frisky Erskineville café mixes boldly coloured mismatched furniture with rustic wooden accents and softly glowing pendulum globes, to create a warm, welcoming vibe ideal for lingering over all-day brunch. Take a seat inside or streetside where the world saunters by and contemplate a menu brimming with temptations like corn fritters with smoked salmon, sour cream and capers; or breakfast bruschetta on sourdough toast topped with spinach, tomato, poached eggs and pesto. Lunchgoers may be enticed by penne pasta in a rich, creamy bacon and mushroom boscaiola sauce, or halloumi and quinoa salad with beetroot, spinach, sundried tomatoes, olive oil and black pepper dressing.
