If you ever come to Perth, make sure you stop at Mill Point Road at South Perth. There is a quaint Italian restaurant at the corner, filled with homely spirit.
My partner and I were driving past and noticed a huge crowd stand there in front of Ciao Italia. At first we thought, it must have just opened, but no, we were wrong! This place is full every evening, with people willing to wait after a tiring days work just for a take away.
So naturally, both of us decided to see what all the fuss was about. We ordered ravioli and tortellini. The portions were generous, and the pasta home-made and fresh. D-e-licious! I honestly didn't even taste pasta like this in Italy itself. The flavours were true, honest, and most of all fresh. You could literally taste 'mama's love' in the cooking, which many restaurants claim, but fail to deliver.
The owner Spartacus and his wife, have set up a beautiful restaurant, which will remind you of the one pictured in Walt Disney's 'Lady and the Tramp'. With checkered table cloths, you'll be sitting knee to knee and knocking elbows with your neighbors.
The atmosphere is filled with excitement, joy and happiness. And it is rather infectious, even on a cold, rainy spring night. The waiters will entertain with true Italian Spirit!
I'm not going to do anymore PR for this place, rather you should try it. Ciao Italia - corner of Mill Point Road and Douglas Ave South Perth.
And be prepared for generous serves of fantastic REAL Italian food!
