Cecchi’s Small Bar
Features
High-school sweethearts Mark and Kylee-Anne Cecchi weren’t even 20 years old when they opened the restaurant that took their name in 2012. With Mark in the kitchen and Kylee-Anne running front of house, the husband-and-wife team earned a reputation for quality, affordable Italian cuisine.
In August 2016, the Cecchis opened this small bar next door to give customers a casual option for pre- or post-dinner drinks. But it is also very much a destination of its own.
Distressed timber beams, exposed brick walls and industrial fittings create a rustic yet sophisticated look, and a long central bar encourages interaction. Scattered greenery softens the space.
The bar menu consists of small plates and salads. Past choices on the rotating menu: panzanelle (fried pizza dough), pulled beef sliders, pork-belly “lollipops” and various bruschetta. The drinks menu includes craft beer and boutique wines.
We do not seek or accept payment from the cafes, restaurants, bars and shops listed in the Directory – inclusion is at our discretion. Venue profiles are written by independent freelancers paid by Broadsheet.
