Hot Dogs Seafood Pasta @ Blacksmith Perth, 460 Beaufort Street, Highgate, Phone (08) 6113 8684.
The Sign That Leads The Way … One of my favourite cafes led the way to a new favourite dish at Blacksmith Perth. I have great confidence in this particular restaurant and I haven’t been disappointed yet.
2 Mad Tuscans Pizzeria, 1 / 957 Beaufort Street, Inglewood, Phone 9272 1728.
Out Of Nowhere … Driving in search of a pizza I was actually pretty amazed to find a new place. 2 Mad Tuscans Pizzeria is my kind of café because not only do they make fun of themselves they make great pizza.
Gnocchi @ Cantina 663, Astor Arcade, 663 Beaufort Street, Mount Lawley, Phone 9370 4883,

Threecoins Italian Trattoria, 2 / 776 Beaufort Street, Mount Lawley, Phone 9271 6033.
The Streets Of Your Town … If ever there was a bustling Trattoria then it is Threecoins. I headed off for lunch happily and was surprised by the crowd in the restaurant.
Fiorentina, 44 Angove Street, North Perth, Phone 9328 7442.
Even An End Has a Start … It’s been a long time since I visited Fiorentina and I was blown away by the patisserie items in the display cabinet. How soon we forget.
Cucina Italia, 243-253 Walter Road West, Coventry Village Markets, Morley, Phone 9276 5471.
Like A Big Pizza Pie … And, that’s Amore. Taken completely by surprise by this venue and the food on offer. It was formerly known as Flamed Burgers but now is a full on, fully licensed Italian Restaurant.
The Westin Hotel, 480 Hay Street, East Perth, Phone 6559 1888.
And, You’ll Sing Vita Bella … I had a sense of purpose the moment I laid eyes on the breakfast buffet at the Westin. When I finally worked out that the venue was Guy Grossi’s Garum, I was over the moon.
Tricolore Focaccia @ Trio Cafe & Wine Bar, 12 / 760 Beaufort Street, Mount Lawley, Phone 9271 4089.
Oh Me, Oh Me, Oh My … Skipped into Trio Café & Bar this morning looking for breakfast. It was my lucky day as a large platter of freshly made Focaccia was sitting on the Bar, just waiting for me.
Pinelli Estate Wines, 30 Bennett Street, off Benara Road, Caversham, Phone 9279 6818.
Don’t Want To Tarantella … But I do want to eat some Italian food at Pinelli Estate. At one point a French chef operated Fillaudeau’s Restaurant but now the menu is strictly Italian.
Restaurant il Mandolino, 311 Hay Street, East Perth, Phone 0450 097 177.
Memories, Oh, Memories … Of days when pancakes were all I wanted for breakfast. But I do know now they’re just a guilty pleasure and I found the temptation was just too great.
