Scrumptious Sicilian food. pizzas great value (try the chicory pizza....sounds weird, delicious). The entress are a fantastic way of sampling high quality and refined flavours. Mains were good - goat looked incredible....but expensive........I will go back with my husband and jsut order a selection of entress and a bottle of wine.....a bit pricey to be a return all the time place....but service was great and quality excellent.

Approximate cost: $35

One of a growing number of value for money dining options in High Street Northcote, Cafe Bedda's approach is informal, friendly and unpretentious. The standard menu offers Sicilian specialties such as dried cod fritters and truly mouth watering pork & fennel sausages to start, and some very good mains like their orange influenced lamb ragu pasta. There are always specials and the pizzas are good value. Dishes cater for vegetarians as well as omnivores. The wine list is small but offers a good range of wines at affordable prices. The listed wine of the day was a Nero D'Avola, one of Sicily's most important varieties, and was similar to a young shiraz

Approximate cost: $40 pp with glass of wine

This is one of my favourites in Northcote. The Sicilian food is absolutely delicious and the feel of the restaurant is busy & bustling & somehow mediterranean! The owner & waiting staff are italian and pretty quirky - never a dull moment. You have to book - I've turned up several times and been disappointed so don't leave it til the last minute. If you miss out though, put your name down for a table and pop next door for a drink at The Wesley Anne while you wait.

Cafe Bedda is a quaint little Sicilian / Italian restaurant opn high st. They make great pizza's and fresh pastas and a range of otheryummy dishes!
