Karoo & Co The Old School occupies the heritage-listed former St Ives Public School on Mona Vale Road, lovingly renovated to retain its old-school charm on Sydney's upper north shore. The seasonal menu draws inspiration from all corners of the world, using select premium ingredients across pizzas, pastas, salads and desserts, with shared dining options including wood-fired bread and whipped ricotta with hot honey. A fireplace lends the space a cosy atmosphere through the cooler months, while the character-filled interconnected dining rooms retain the charm of the building's original school-house layout. The cocktail and drinks menu is equally considered, pairing well with the food listing across both a casual family dinner and a longer, more leisurely visit. Ample council parking nearby makes Karoo & Co a convenient stop for locals and visitors exploring St Ives, whether for a romantic evening or a relaxed catch-up with family and friends.
