Mietta's Review
Dark, cool and classy. That's Tre Biccheiri the new wine bar and bottle shop in North Carlton. A great selection of Italian wines, many by the glass, and simple assembled food to help them down. Sit on the comfortable red seats at the front or migrate to one of the small crowded table in the darker area on the other level at the rear.
Other published opinions
The Age Cheap Eats 2007 "Melbourne's official Little Italy is a few blocks over, but this intimate cafe-wine bar could easily be its Sicily. Terrazzo tiles, shiny dark wood, superb coffee and fine Italian wines all help old country visitors acclimatise to the new time zone."
The Age Cheap Eats 2006 Not a cafe, not a restaurant, Tre Bicchieri is an Italian-style enoteca, specialising in wines, and excelling at coffee. This space exudes a warm vibe
The Age Cheap Eats 2005 "WHEN Italophile gourmands die, they want heaven to be like Tre Bicchieri: a cafe-winebarfoodstore decked out in dark wood and terrazzo. They would start each day in paradise with superb coffee and bombolini"
The Age Epicure Matt Preston 2/8/05 "The two-level room that houses these wines is neatly split in half. At the front are some comfy red seats among the busy tables. Up the back is altogether more moody. Here are little round tables packed so tightly you can hear your neighbours' business. From a bar in the middle comes a simple menu of easily assembled plates that are ideal with wine"
