Serving up some of the best Italian pasta mains and wood-fired pizzas in the city, this venue is known for its communal tables, buzzy vibe, fast service and stylish decor.

Little Jack Horner
It's worth coming to Little Jack Horner just for the sensational views of Coogee Beach and Wedding Cake Island you get from every table in the venue. But when you also consider its superb culinary offerings, terrific wine and cocktail list and the fact it hosts live music, it's only a matter of time until it becomes your favourite place to eat in Coogee.
