Enter VIVA Leichhardt, an ambitious collective of retail and hospitality businesses.

Our mission is to restore the sparkle, spirit, and soul of Little Italy.

For more than 70 years, Leichhardt has been a hub of Italian culture in Sydney. Our streets are filled with the aroma of authentic Italian cuisine, the melodies of Italian conversation, and the vibrancy of our community spirit.

Behind every brick and every cobblestone, there are stories of generations, dreams, and flavors that have come together to shape our "Little Italy".

We will establish a foundation for thriving businesses. We will organize events that resonate with the rich, multicultural identity of Leichhardt. We will assist in creating sustainable spaces that reflect our dedication to both cultural heritage and the environment.

Leichhardt is more than just a suburb; it is a living story, a melting pot of memories and traditions. Together, we can create a new chapter, one of revival and unity.

Long live Little Italy!

Long live Leichhardt!

Let's bring back "La Dolce Vita"!,

the Aussie way!
