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.
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.
Cafe Bella Rosa, 51 Archer Street, Cnr Planet Street, Carlisle, Phone 9472 5300.
Chance Meeting … Café Bella Rosa is Carlisle’s hidden gem. And, for me, stumbling across this venue was genuine good fortune. Hopefully, not the only good luck of 2018.
Pappagallo Cafe Pizzeria, 250 Oxford Street, Leederville, Phone 9444 0889.
The Pasta Or Pizza Dilemma … So excited to finally get to dine at Pappagallo in Leederville. It’s a Cafe with very good word of mouth and according to Google Pappagallo means Parrot, which is a little quirky. Love it.
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.
California Pizza Kitchen, Shop 223, Sorrento Quay Boardwalk, Hillarys Boat Harbour, Phone 1300 590 591.
Seek The Unique … California Pizza Kitchen, or CPK, opened in September at the Hillarys Boat Harbour complex. It fills the space formerly occupied for 23 years by Jetty’s Restaurant.
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.
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.
Flamed Burgers, Shop 7, 243-253 Walter Road, Morley WA 6062, Phone 9276 5471.
Déjà vu … As a venue Flamed Burgers is huge. The indoor area is big enough but then you walk outside and it’s like an arena. A funky arena. It’s a hot day and I see a water misting machine. We decide to sit outside and be mistified. See what I did there.
Benedetto Bakery, 765 Marshall Road, Malaga WA 6090, Phone 9249 9670.
Authentic Italian bread, pizza and more … Used to frequent Benedetto Bakery when it was in Victoria Road. But I had forgotten about it when I moved from the area. Reading a recent review about their bread led me to find them again.
