Local businesses recognised in the community-voted awards.
The Nudgee Small Business Awards have wrapped up for another year, with locals voting for their favourite spots.
The awards are run by Leanne Linard MP, State Member for Nudgee, who started them back in 2021. 'I want to give a huge congratulations to all of the winners for 2026, and thank everyone who took the time to vote and spread the love around,' Linard says.
Northgate favourite Piccolo Ristorante won the overall award, on the back of their warm hospitality and Italian food. It caps a steady climb for owner Roshan and the team—in 2024 they were runner-up in Food and Beverage, in 2025 they won the category, and now they've taken out the lot.
