Contessa meaning countess in latin is authentic to it’s Italian Roots fused with modern Australian cafe culture. Marco has cultivated a symbiotic culture where fresh quality food meets GLORIOUS coffee (which by the way serves the Grounds of Alexandria special blend) and impeccable service. I am so grateful to have walked past your Cafe! I sincerely appreciate the service (because anyone that knows me I change everything I want on a menu) and rustic flavorful food you served. Bon Appetit! you have a customer for life !<br/ <br/ #supportyourlocalcafes <br/
We were served by a lovely cheerful host on a busy Sunday and seated for lunch. Coffee was on point My friend and I both ordered the salad on the specials menu. Chicken Pesto and Haloumi. It was divine! Food and coffee took a while to come out but I could see how busy they were, so it was quite understandable. Overall great little spot for a feed and good food experience!
Nice staff and food and drinks were all very delicious. <br/ <br/ 1 potato leek soup<br/ 2 prawn garlic spaghetti <br/ 3 risotto<br/ 4 kids egg and soldier toast with bacon <br/ 5 earl grey tea <br/ 6 kids milk shake<br/ 7 soy hot chocolate
Tasty brekkie and big portion. Coffee is good too. Staffs are friendly and quick service. It is a bit pricy considering it is in Balmain, the price is reasonable in this area cuz of the taste.

We have been in this place for breakfast and we have eaten The Farmhouse Omelette, Rosa’s Breakfast Bruschetta and coffee. They were ok, with a good presentation, but service was slow.
We ordered the Italian meatballs and eggs. The meatballs were seasoned well and juicy. However, would have preferred more of the delicious pesto to balance out the whole dish.
Such amazing food! Everything tasted great and the staff were all so friendly. Definitely recommend the Nutella french toast if you have a sweet tooth!
This is one of my favourite places to visit for breakfast, brunch or lunch in Balmain

Beautiful presentation and great value for money for the tuna salad. Chai latte and banana smoothie were delicious too.
