Marchetti Cafe and Wine Bar

Overview

Hidden away in a historic, inner-city laneway, Marchetti is a tiny Italian cafe and wine bar. With classic leather booths, glossy black bar stools and a checkerboard floor, these guys have been doing aperitivo hour since well before it was trending on Instagram.

If you've been there, you're a fan. If you haven't, consider it a new (old) discovery. Their famed rose latte — in the sweetest shade — is a highlight when it's on the menu. But if you need a little boost that requires more than caffeine, head to their martini and antipasti menu for the 5pm Friday aperitivo hour.
