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.
Panini 854, Italian Kitchen, 854 Beaufort Street, Inglewood WA 6052, Phone 0419 047 412.
Simple Italian Fare … New lunch spot on Beaufort. Panini 854 make their Panini in house. They have baskets full of this chewy bread on display behind the counter. And, the menu on the wall lists a fair few varieties of fillings they will put together.
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.
At the Mezz, Mount Hawthorn
Monte Fiore Cafe, 628 Beaufort Street, Mount Lawley WA 6050, Phone 9227 9898.
Mandatory Revisit … Monte Fiore is one of the oldest restaurants in Mount Lawley. Predominately home style Italian meals served to white table clothed tables with a pleasant view of bustling Beaufort Street.
Osteria dei Sapori, 151 Broadway, Nedlands WA 6009, Phone 9386 4243.
La Dolce Vita … The sweet life for me is staging an Osteria dei Sapori Revisit. Noticed that this charming little restaurant was offering a pretty special lunch special. Two courses and a glass of wine for $25.00. A mad dash to the car and off we sped to Nedlands.
The Pasta Truck, Location Varies, Phone 0416 047 383.
It’s De-Lovely … Ah, imagine fresh pasta, cooked in front of you and tossed in a lush looking sauce. And, imagine that it came with fresh bread and parmesan at the total cost of $13.00. Sounds like a bargain huh. We think so too.
Delisio Pizza Romana, ENEX100, 683-703 Hay Street Mall, Perth WA 6000, Phone 9485 0055.
Save Me From Myself … Looking for Lunch in the CBD. Wandering around ENEX100 and nothing appealed. Noticed a really long line of people and, out of curiosity, joined the queue. Welcome to lunch time’s hidden haunt. Pizza by the Slice and some authentic home cooked Pasta at Delisio Pizza Romana.
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.
ilPasto Pasta Specials, $15 on Tuesday and Wednesdays – Updated, Shop 4, 885 Beaufort Street, Inglewood WA 6052, Phone 9271 7870.
Restraint Needed … Now before I let you in on a little secret I must ask that you show some restraint. As the title suggests, ilPasto is offering $15 plates of pasta but only on Tuesday and Wednesday Nights. Yes, we couldn’t believe it either and it’s been going on for a while now.
