About Caffè Roma

Tucked off the Kings Cross strip on Kellett Street, Caffè Roma keeps the burners roaring long after most neighborhood kitchens shut down. Regulars head here post-theatre for proper sit-down comfort—steaming plates of beef ravioli, lamb pasta, and blistered pizza tonno arriving in portions built to share. Paper covers the tables, with chalk ready for scribbling between pours of wine. No hovering staff or rushed table turns; just a spirited trattoria where dinner rolls on as late as the conversation.

  • Unapologetic Comfort Fare: Heaping plates of beef ravioli, rich lamb pasta, and crisp pizza tonno with plenty left over to pack up home.
  • Late-Night Kitchen: A full sit-down dinner menu serving hot pasta and pizza late into the night when other kitchens close.
  • Unhurried Hospitality: Family-run service that encourages groups to settle in, order another bottle, and stay without strict seating limits.

Why Diners Choose Caffè Roma

From post-theatre late dining to unhurried group nights fueled by generous pastas, here is why this Potts Point staple stands out. Book your table now to experience it firsthand.

  • Full Kitchen Dining Late Into the Night

    While neighboring kitchens shut down early, Caffè Roma keeps full-service dining open for hot Italian fare well past 9:30 PM.

    One of the very limited fine dining (not fast food) places in Kings Cross that still offer kitchen food past 9.30pm.

  • Reliable Post-Show Dinners

    A dependable sanctuary for theatregoers and event attendees seeking quality sit-down meals when other kitchens are closed.

    It was excellent to find a restaurant serving dinner after a theatre function.

  • Unhurried Celebrations Without Pressure

    Parties can settle into energetic conversations without dining time limits or being hurried out the door.

    you never feel rushed at all you can sit, chat, and stay as long as you like without feeling pressured to leave.

  • Interactive Tablefront Group Play

    Paper table covers paired with chalk invite spontaneous doodling and nostalgic fun across group dinners.

    I like how they give you chalk and lay paper on the table as the “tablecloth” so you can relive your childhood and draw on the tables.

    everything was delicious and the portions were large, great if you want take away.

    Homestyle Italian specialties like rich ravioli al manzo deliver authentic culinary comfort and memorable depth of flavor.

  • Carpaccio

    The carpaccio was also amazing — if I wasn’t already so full from the pizza and pasta I would have easily ordered a second plate.
