Perth’s Italian food scene has never been better — here are five spots we keep going back to.

Post Urban Winery

Tucked behind Northbridge, this is the pick for a long lunch — the wine list alone is worth the visit, and the handmade tagliatelle is a standout.

Bopha Devi

Not strictly Italian, but the wood-fired share plates next door have become a regular pre-dinner stop for the crowd headed to the restaurants further down the strip.

La Lola Mezcal

The pizza here is Neapolitan-style — thin, blistered, and best shared. Book ahead on weekends.

Si Paradiso

A rooftop pasta bar with Rottnest views. The cacio e pepe is the one to order.

65 Degrees

Small, unassuming, and consistently excellent — the risotto changes seasonally and it’s always worth whatever it is that week.

Book ahead where you can — most of these fill up fast on Friday and Saturday nights.
