Picciolo Parade, Rozelle

Name: Picciolo Parade
Suburb: Rozelle
Style: Italian Cafe

Food Recommendation: The Piccolo Brekki.
Benedict: A perfectly poached egg (which is hard to find) on top a delicious corn fritter covered in hollandaise sauces and crispy bacon with sourdough toast. This café takes breakfast from Sydney and transports you to Italy. Although, Florentine commented that her grilled tomatoes we a bit too Italian favored for breakfast. I found that my generously sized meal was unique to the Picciolo cafe and does not disappoint as I could have stayed there and ate it all day. I HIGHLY recommend the Piccolo meal!
Florentine: I was less impressed. My scrambled eggs were a bit mushy, my toast was wrong, and the tomatoes tasted like they belonged on a pizza not my eggs. Coffee was decent.

Atmosphere: It may not look like much from the outside but if you walk through the main dining area there is a charming outside veranda adorn with little tables and pink table clothes. It was a bit of a tight squeeze to get to a table and I would not recommend this cafe for a private conversation as the music inside was much to loud and outside you were seated so closely to another table you could over hear parents reprimanding their children. Florentine: loved the outdoor area out the back!

Intelligence ratio: 10/30
(Based on number of people wearing glasses, or having book or newspaper in their possession compared to the total population)

Attractiveness of people: Average
(low, average, good, very good, excellent)

Likelihood of picking up a date: A delightful old man seats you as you enter into the second outdoor seating area (I think this might have been Piccolo himself). If you’re into old, Italian men who make tasty food this just might be your pickup cafe. Florentine: I loved the little Italian man...he made the trip worth it.

Bounce rate: With so many cafes to still try it is takes a very special place to be in the consecration for a second visit. Food was defiantly this cafes stand out quality but overall don’t think ill go back for the people or atmosphere.
