Leichhardt

Description
If you are a lover of good pasta, coffee and gelato you can't go past Leichhardt, a suburb infused by years of strong Italian influence. Leichhardt's main road is Norton Street, which offers traditional Italian shops, cafes and restaurants. The best olive oils, balsamic vinegars, olives, salamis, cheeses and breads can be found at Norton Street Grocer and is a must for those in search of authentic Italian fare. Leichhardt's streets are filled with an infectious energy, never more so than whenever the Italian soccer team are playing. The centre of Leichhardt's focus is on the Italian Forum - a huge plaza surrounded by a plethora of shops selling everything from designer labels to Italian homewares and fresh pasta. Descend the Forum's own version of Rome's Spanish Steps, a popular meeting place, and browse the menus of the outdoor cafes and restaurants most of which stay open late.
