Perugino Restaurant

Skip the basic pizza-and-pasta joints. Perugino is the genuine article—an uncompromising West Perth stronghold for la vera cucina italiana. Italophiles constantly steer friends toward this elegant dining room for one reason: absolute authenticity. The kitchen focuses on impeccably executed regional specials and flawlessly tender meats. Sure, the matriarchal oversight is fiercely passionate—maybe even a bit formidable to the uninitiated—but that unapologetic pride is exactly what guarantees a spectacular plate. Factor in a roaring open fire, an exceptional wine list, and Francesco’s sharp, old-world floor team. The absolute clincher? A gloriously retro carrello dei dolci (dessert trolley) wheeled straight to your table. Bold, ridiculously cozy, and flawlessly executed.
