L'Americano - Alexandria

A beautiful, nautical Italian style cafe set in the high-end showroom of Coco Republic. Enter from O'Riordan Street if you don't wish to browse the furniture: it's not a problem! It appears that plenty of people stop outside just to get takeaways! Came here at the end of lunch where there were still many diners chatting furniture, fabrics, colour schemes and interiors. This place is set up to cater for all situations from corporate functions and cocktail parties to intimate breakfasts and lunches. Have a quick coffee at a small Cararra marble table or dine at the gorgeous herringboned French oak inlaid table for 10 with stately leather chairs; the world is your oyster! You could probably even put your order in for a similar dining setting after consuming a bottle of Pommeroy at lunch! No... really! Prices are surprisingly reasonable with plenty of breakfast options for under $10! Lunch consists of hearty salads $19.50, classic bruschetta $12 with tomato and mozzarella, Italian sandwiches single $8 or double $16. The Vittoria coffee $3.50 is really good and the service is polite and friendly! I'd like to return to try the L'Americano cocktail $16 which consists of Campari, vermouth and gin and imagine I am back in the 1950s in a speedboat on a Venetian canal like the ones adorning the walls!

L'Americano is a chic and exquisite Italian cafe situated at the back of a furniture store in Alexandra. The stylish cafe features models of Italian speedboats, a huge chandelier and dark parquet flooring. I tried their coffee and signature toast and salmon salad. There was nothing to complain - the salad was refreshing with bursts of flavours from the onions and salmon. However, they are quite ordinary and you can probably prepare at home. For a price of $22 in an industrial estate, I would expect just a bit more.

L'Americano has it all ... almost. Ambience is stunning. The food is to die for. Just had the eggs with smoked chicken salad. One of the best salads I've ever eating. The coffee is at the near perfect end of the scale. The only thing that I've marked them down for is the service. Not that it's bad. Just a little more attention would be great. But other than that ... brilliant.

Stopped for a quick breakfast on the way to the airport, the place is very plush and probably caters more for the fine diner rather than a casual experience. The food, coffee and service was good but for the prices you are paying you would expect that.
