The Neighborhood:
A place where family and good food go hand in hand, the laid-back culture of Leichhardt is infused with a distinct Italian flavour – from swirling pasta dishes to vespas livening it up. Leichhardt has established itself as one of Sydney’s most loved neighbourhoods, and is often fondly referred to as “Little Italy”. At the heart of it all is family, good food and an unbeatable European vitality.
Renowned for its hospitality, Norton Street has retained its status as the place to go to for some seriously good pasta. But Sydney’s love affair with Asian cuisine has spilled into the heart of Leichhardt – Asian infused restaurants sit side by side with restaurants that boast Nona’s secret recipes.
Leichhardt is at its finest when celebrating its European heritage. Norton Street plays host to the annual Italian Festa and the Italian Film Festival; both draw large crowds.
Pizza and cappuccinos aside, the quick commute to and from the CBD is its biggest drawcard with two light rail stations and a network of express buses servicing the area.
We acknowledge that Leichhardt was once an area broadly inhabited by the Wangal band of the Dharug (Eora) language group. The 'Eora people' was the name given to coastal Aborigines around Sydney – Eora means from this place – local Aboriginal people used this word to describe to Europeans where they came from, and in time the term became used to define Aboriginal people themselves. Wangal country was known as 'wanne' and it originally extended from the suburbs of Balmain and Birchgrove in the east to Silverwater and Auburn in the west.
