IL Vicolo Courtyard Restaurant has earned its reputation as a favourite venue to dine in this busy Italian quarter. Rising from oak-lined Grattan Street, this traditional double-storey terrace opens to reveal a contemporary blend of wood, chrome and glass matched by modern-day dedication to service and presentation. Italian for laneway, IL Vicolo 's name originates from the lane which once led to the local butcher and baker. Now a courtyard enclosed in glass and topped by stained glass, the lane is a popular place to entertain.
