About Cricca

Behind an understated black door in Windsor, Cricca delivers metropolitan-grade Italian dining with zero big-city pretension. Low lighting sets the room while vinyl spins softly on the turntable. At the hearth, a wood-fired oven blisters sourdough loaves and chars fresh oysters wrapped in pancetta. Regulars gravitate toward the multi-course degustation—a steady progression of house-made pumpkin agnolotti in hazelnut brown butter, tender smoked duck, and thoughtfully paired regional Italian wines. Dinner closes quietly over a hazelnut sour and dark chocolate.

  • Wood-fired kitchen craft: Sourdough loaves and oysters wrapped in pancetta char over glowing embers in full view of the dining room.
  • Curated degustation pairings: A multi-course tasting menu paired with sommelier-selected Italian vintages brings city-grade polish to the Hawkesbury.
  • Intimate analog ambience: Dim lighting, vinyl records on the turntable, and unhurried hospitality foster an easygoing date-night intimacy.
