Posto Matto, 2 / 211 Main Street, Osborne Park, Phone 93444748.
Mad World … Posto Matto literally means “The Mad House.” Absolutely nothing crazy happened while I was there. Although the menu offered a written promise that their food was a little mad but in a good way.
Pizzeria Colosseo, Shop 1, 65 Lincoln Road, Morley.
When The Moon Hits Your Eye … Pizzeria Colosseo has been open since December. It sits right next to Wing Soon in Lincoln Road. Fancy that, an Italian Café in Morley!
Spritz Spizzicheria Italiana, 148 Scarborough Beach Road, Mount Hawthorn, Phone 9444 3839.
Time Is Fleeting … Spritz Spizzicheria Italiana and their dessert café Affogato Gelateria kind of dominate the Mount Hawthorn café strip. They sit side by side and make a nice looking couple.
Mt Etna Cafe Pizzeria, 360 Stirling Street, Highgate WA 6003, Phone 9228 9047.
Corner Store … Came across Mt Etna Café Pizzeria in Highgate by accident. I’d been trying to find a parking spot and there it was on the corner of a residential Street. It looked just like an old corner store but I could see a Wood Fired Oven. Intriguing.
Magna Pizza, The Mezz, Shop 22, 148 Scarborough Beach Road, Mount Hawthorn WA 6016, Phone 0410 755 676.
I Should Have Known Better … Than to visit a new Café in the first few weeks after opening. But did that stop me? It did not. Magna Pizza has just opened a new Store in Mount Hawthorn. It’s the sister to the Fremantle Store. And, given all the positive reviews, I couldn’t wait to sample their wares.

Belasyse Tapas Bar and Restaurant, Shop 4, Shafto Lane, Perth WA 6000, Phone 9481 2126.
Born to be Alive … In the CBD to investigate Shafto Lane and the variety of eateries there which we have virtually ignored to date. Alive and bustling the Lane certainly comes to life at night. Stumbled across a sign offering a special deal and in we went.
Italians Restaurant Pizzeria, 165 Walter Road, Dianella WA 6059, Phone 9276 1262.
Breakfast Can Wait … Our preference was Dinner at Italians Restaurant Pizzeria in Dianella. Decided it was time to be fed by their team of Italian Chefs. Hailing from Rome, Torino and Bologna these three make everything in house, including the Pasta. All under the watchful eye of Head Chef Luca Galaverna.
Siena’s Sister, 500 Beaufort Street, Highgate WA 6003, Phone 9227 7762.
Siena’s Sister Roars Back to Beaufort … It was an institution really, the former Sienas that sat in this very same building. But the Restaurant we all knew and loved is back with a bounce in it’s step and a clean, bright makeover. So, the new name reflects its tie-in with Siena’s Leederville.
ACE Pizza, 448 Beaufort Street, Highgate WA 6003, Phone 0499 448 000.
Dining in the Dark … Lit by Candlelight, a Woodfired Pizza Oven and a Neon Sign. Throw in a few regular electric lights as well and the result is charming. Ace Pizza is housed in a lovely old stand alone building at the tail end of the Beaufort Street Café Strip.
Universal Bar, 221 William Street, Northbridge WA 6003, Phone 9227 6771.
Twilight Meeting … It was exciting to be going to a networking event at the Universal Bar in Northbridge. Such a long time between visits.
