Housed on the corner of Hardware Lane and Little Bourke Street, the Piccolina Gelateria is a rich interior atmosphere combining contemporary design and considered local artistry. The contrast of materiality and form injects freshness into the space while emulating the nostalgic feel synonymous with the Piccolina stores it sits among. The brand's familiar warmth holds alongside a considered architectural frame, anchoring the venue within the rhythm of the laneway and its daily passing trade across the day.
