The seeds for that alliance were sown and the opportunity to make it a reality would present itself shortly afterwards.
In February 2020 Chef/Owners of Lumi Dining and Oscillate Wildly would combine creative forces to breathe life into a fresh multi facetted dining concept & Espresso bar, leo & Picco_leo is amongst great company in the dynamic Angel place and Ash Street, Sydney’s premier laneway dining precinct.
