Went here for the first time last night and was impressed with the food vibe and service. A friend of mine who knows the owners suggested we go and it was a lovely experience. Owners were very friendly and attentive. Food was great and beautifully presented. A fusion of Italian woodfire pizza and middle eastern foods. Entree was lovely with Hummus with pomegranate and some interesting cheese thingy. Pizzas were really nice with nice dough and sauces and anchovies weren't too salty if you like that thing.Crab ravioli was really tasty too.Set in a old cotton factory it retains its heritage set with modern chicness...Calico the name of the restaurant is a type of cotton which I thought was a cool name.Overall great experience recommend you try for yourself

Fantastic experience at Calico for our friend's birthday dinner. They hosted a large group of us with many different cocktail, drink and food orders with no problems, helped us put up some birthday decorations and even brought out the birthday cake with candles lit and singing happy birthday. Friendly, accommodating and importantly the food was all absolutely top notch with a nice ambience to match. A brilliant neighbourhood spot that we hope to visit many times again, thank you team Calico!

I rate the woodfired bread very highly. Chewy, fluffy, and the right amount of saltiness. Crab ravioli was great, both flavour and texture-wise. The king crab added the perfect kick and the sauce was seasoned well. Definitely coming back for their lunch menu next time.

From love at first sight to love at first bite. The exquisiteness of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean will delight your palate. They also serve up delicious breakfast, lunch and dinner menu items. This place is a gem. I highly recommend!

We were in a frantic rush to get something to eat before a live show at the Seymour centre. It was a Saturday night and everything else around was shut or overfilled and unable to get us food quickly.We were told pizzas could be made for us super quickly so we could have a full meal and make it to the show. We picked out pizza and they got started instantly.The pizzas came in time and we made it to the show.Great pizza, very friendly and genuine service and a nice looking restaurant. A shame we couldn't stay longer to appreciate the place.Absolute life saver for letting us in, in such a hurry.We'll be back.

We stumbled across Calico, ironically on the way to another restaurant - their food looked too good to pass up so we decided to stay.That impromptu decision turned out to be one of the best decisions made in a long time! The food was to die for - gorgeously flavoursome, impeccable service with speedy delivery to boot.A happy coincidence which will definitely turn into a return visit ☺️

This is a fantastic little spot mixing Mediterranean and Middle Eastern flavours. Everything we had was excellent: pizza base was spot on, as was the topping, creamy chicken pasta was absolutely delicious, and steak manoush was a fun and different way to serve manoush. And everything topped with generous lashings of cheese. Knafeh was also really good, but could've done with a bit more rose water syrup. Otherwise, food, service and vibe were perfect for a Sunday brunch. Highly recommend!

You might think Surry Hills and Marrickville are the go to spots for a good cafe, but we also recommend checking out their neighbours in Redfern because there’s plenty of quality spots hidden amongst the backstreets. Calico is one of these. They also don’t have a prolifically posted Instagram which is a bit of a shame since their amazing food warrants more publicity. It’s good that we’d heard about this via word of mouth.Located on Abercrombie Street in Redfern/Darlington occupying the spot that once was Rabbit Hole tea. It is a large venue with plenty of seating and some tables in the front and outdoor area. Style wise, I love the wooden walls, hanging greenery and vintage items paired with some on trend flower arrangements. I also appreciate the juxtaposition if materials and design like the geometric tiles on the floor and circular wooden wall frame.Staff are friendly and eager to please, sorting us out with menus and water. They were very accommodating with our little niece’s requests and also they thankfully they let us have our puppy in the front section of seating.The menu is quite extensive and hosts a range of items that in addition to the expected brunch items are a range of what seems to be Middle Eastern / Mediterranean influences. Not your run of the mill menu and I like this.Inside they have also have some pre made sandwiches if you’re on the go as well as some amazing cakes and sausage rolls and pies. Our niece ordered their bolognaise pie - well cooked pastry and a light and nicely spiced mince inside, which she ate by pulling off the top and eating it first, as kids apparently do.The pea cracker piqued by interest. A really good option for those with dietary requirements, for it is vegetarian, vegan, gluten free and dairy free. The Gluten free cracker was topped with a smooth puréed mix of broadbean, edamame and mint and then topped with some of these beans and pomegranates. It looked so beautiful and tasted light and delicious. I would definitely re order this.We also tried their flavoursome stuffed eggplant, filled with pearl barley, Napoletana sauce and sitting atop a spread of hummus and feta.Our dining party also tried a really interesting menu option; their Falafel scotch egg and coleslaw. Like a normal scotch egg in its preparation, but the egg sits inside a falafel rather than meat. So cool! -We also had their halloumi wrap and a few coffees; brought to us by Cleanskin. A full bodied smooth coffee with notes of berries, cocoa and caramel. If you’re not a coffee drinker, there’s a huge drink list with smoothies, kombucha, vegan protein shakes and milkshakes as well as organic tea.Overall this is a great cafe all round
