Quattro Passi

Step away from the Oxford Street frenzy into this civilised oasis of white walls, tiny deco framed stained-glass windows, communal tables, whirring ceiling fans and a small, thoughtful paperback library. Owners Robbie and Vikki Fucci dish up plenty of Italian charm with a simple, honest menu. We're talking slow-cooked beef pie, pesto arancini, and breakfasts of creamy scrambled eggs with crusty ciabatta toast that team up nicely with the strong, slightly astringent Caffe Diemme caffe latte ($3) - good to-go through the coffee window if you're heading into the CBD.
