I cannot say enough good things about Spritz Spizzicheria in Ht Hawthorn at the Hawaiian’s Mezz Shopping Complex. It has proven to be a very popular addition to the neighbourhood and is honestly like having a little piece of Italy right along Scarborough Beach Road. The staff are all Italian natives and are complete charmers, you can […]

We are a spoilt bunch in Perth with a solid line up of restaurants dotted throughout each and every suburb. Sometimes they might be in suburbs that don’t necessarily spring to mind when you think about where to head for dinner. Like Floreat perhaps, but you’d be missing out if you raced down Cambridge Street […]

For a precious few months each year West Australians are a spoilt bunch and able to enjoy the decadent wonder of truffles, grown right here in our home state. And lucky for us that time is now. Black diamonds or ‘diamant noir’ as treasured truffles are referred to in France are a highly sought after […]

I had heard many a positive review about Leederville new kid on the block Pappagallo. Their popularity was growing so quickly that when we first tried to get a table on a whim, the reserved signs were situated on all inside tables and the weather hadn’t quite warmed up enough for me to be thinking […]

I often find myself pondering about my favourite type of cuisine. Do I actually have a favourite? It’s a difficult question and one that usually makes me hungry as I imagine different dishes from countries around the world. So whilst I can’t say what the definitive list is, I do know that Italian food features […]

I love Italian food and the recent spate of perfect Spring days was just screaming out for a lovely lunch. So GG and I decided we’d finally get ourselves to Il Lido in Cottesloe over the long weekend. Located on Marine Parade it overlooks the stunning Cottesloe beach, which had a lot more brave bodies […]

Holidays. What’s not to love about them? I swear that my recent six week European adventure was a good year and a half in the making. Hours spent planning out which countries to visit and then further refining those plans to where will we stay and finally where will we eat! It was a labour […]

No Mafia. Possibly the narrowest little restaurant in Northbridge, but despite its slight size it is definitely packing a punch in the food stakes. Taking inspiration from the recipes and ethos of Southern Italy, No Mafia takes a modern approach to traditional Italian Cuisine with a focus on using the best and freshest local products. The food is […]

I don’t often go out for an ice cream. I probably couldn’t tell you the last time I went out specifically for a scoop but that’s not to say I’m not a fan. We generally have a tub in the freezer or Snickers ice cream bars if they are on special, when I tend to get […]

It was my birthday the other week. Older yes, but I would venture not a whole lot wiser. But I’m fine with that, perhaps wisdom is something I’ll grow into. I enjoyed a wonderfully relaxing day. Well, relaxing except for the hour of personal training which was entirely focused on legs and introduced me to […]
