Although not a regular diner at Kappy’s we have been many times over the last 30+ years and always enjoyed a great Italian meal.
Saturday night was without a doubt one of the very best meals we have ever had either here in Perth or in Italy, so thank you very much to the Kappy ‘family’ for a great evening.
2nd time I've been here.. I love this restaurant!! Can't wait to come back! It's so cozy here. The service was the best! The food , just Devine!! I had the barramundi and creamy prawns as did my husband. Oh wow! Just the best, I'm coming back for that meal..my son had the seafood fettuccine, he just raved and raved about how nice it was. Not a single complaint could be made, just awesome!
We always love Kappys - it’s one of our locals and we have never had a bad meal or complaint - my scallopini Marsala last night wAs the best ever - thanks guys
6 dishes ordered and could not fault a single thing. The waitstaff are super attentive and the fun noisy family atmosphere was unexpectedly welcoming. I recommend making a booking so you can get a better table. But we were seated in a nice spot anyway. I've been going to Kappy's, at there various locations, for 30 years! And it's just as good as it's always been.
Fabulous �This was my 3rd visit and I've never been let down with any of them. We went with our friends who are vegan and the kitchen were so accommodating, all 4 of us were very impressed. We'll definitely be back, thank you.
We always come back here and love it everytime�. Love how its a family owed restaurant very friendly place and me been a chef never complain once�

one of the best restaurants we have been to in a long while.
excellent food, reasonable price, good size serves
fabulous wait staff, attentive but not over the top in your face or pushy, we had time to relax in between courses.
relaxed atmosphere, pleasant simple décor. plenty of room around tables
very clean
Dinner again at Kappys. We have been Dozens of times and will continue to go , staff are wonderful, Service is always goog, food is always great.
Excellent service and really great, fast and fresh food. Enjoyed the meal and will return!
Cosy Italian in Guildford. We enjoyed beef carpaccio and the gnocchi. Both excellent. Recommend a visit. It is good for groups, plenty of noise and laughs. I also had the Giacomo cocktail which was excellent. They also accept the entertainment card.
PASTA ON THE SWAN
It is a stone throw from the Swan River. Kappy’s is a family run restaurant with a wonderful homely atmosphere. No matter the day of the week, the service, the food, the staff and special attention is always there. The food is homely, wholesome and made with love by Nonna & Nonno. The serves are very generous and we always get our usual accompaniments with the meals. Ordinarily we would not have desert, but Nonna’s profiteroles are simply the best. The only place we have desert!
Well done Kappy’s family - we love your ristorante!
Went back to Kappy's tonight for the first time in years and was impressed - the staff were really lovely and friendly. The food was full of flavour - two of us had the gnocchi and one had the barramundi, and we all really enjoyed our meals. Dessert was very good too; we had ginger pudding, tiramisu and crepes. The only complaint was that we were freezing, but that's because someone on the table next to us requested the heater was turned off. Next time i will dress more warmly! :-) Also the metal chairs are very uncomfortable.
The quality of the food was unquestionably of a very high standard. However my 7 year old son who ordered an adult sized main of spaghetti bolognese was still hungry after after licking the bowl clean. Meal prices are also higher than what you may pay for similar meals elsewhere. Staff were friendly.
Kappy's is a great restaurant! It has been a family favourite for the last 10 years. They have beautiful food that has been executed very well. Their menu has a very traditional italian base, which is wonderful. Highly recommend!
A family group of 7 people visited for Sunday lunch last week. Ages ranged from 13 to 87. From the minute we walked in the door we were made to feel welcome. We all ordered different meals and nothing could be faulted. There were plenty of choices on the menue to suit all tastes. We had 3 courses of delicious food served by friendly helpful staff. Parking at the rear is very useful. We are looking forward to our next visit which will be soon.
This quaint Italian restaurant although nice, is pretty standard fare when it comes to the Italian food dining scene in Perth. Pastas and gnocchi are made in house, serving sizes were enormous (literally enough for 2), starters are the usual offerings of calamari, carpaccio, arancini etc. Not an overly exciting menu and some dishes were a little hit and miss with flavour, but service was good, atmosphere was nice and overall a pleasant dining experience. Worth checking out when you're next in the mood for a solid plate of decent pasta.
What a wonderful hidden gem it turned out to be. I was really impressed with the quirky decor and the friendliness of the staff, then the absolute cleanliness of the whole place (believe me, I do inspect the 'loos' as well as the restaurant). Although not a large menu, we all found a dish that appealed to us...and they were perfection. The sauce on the Barramundi was to die for (if I was alone, I may have licked the plate). It was definitely worth the drive.
We have dined here many times over the years. The food is always excellently prepared and presented. Staff are welcoming, friendly and very accomodating.
Always bustling place on Guildford's cafe strip. Friendly service, seems family run. The food is fresh and wholesome without the reliance on creaminess for taste. Doesn't disappoint.
Rare lunch date with my wife. Loved it !!!
Only reason I'm not giving a 5 is that my wife wishes she had the barramundi rather than the chilli crab. But that's a personal choice thing as I loved the chilli crab. Will definitely return.
Living in Guildford, we are a little spoilt for choice when it comes to “whose turn is it to cook tonight”? Generally it isn’t mine – 23 years hard labour in my first marriage, now happily married to a guy who loves to cook – but who also doesn’t need convincing to eat out.
We dined at Kappy's this evening with friends. I ordered the fillet steak with fiery pepper sauce and grilled vegetables (pictured). My partner had the seafood pizza (also pictured). Our dining partners had the chicken parmi with spaghetti bolg (two meals in one) and aranchini balls with grilled veggies. We shared garlic bread and enjoyed wine and coffees. All meals were delicious! I loved my steak which was cooked exactly as I liked it and was thick and tender. The fiery pepper sauce was amazing. My partner's pizza was loaded with seafood and the parmis were a hit. The service was great and we will definitely be back.
With a full stomach of the Linguine Con Granchio (chilli crab pasta with tomato) I'm extremely content, heading into the food coma stage of my night.
Excellent service but most importantly delicious food! Table of five of us. All our meals came out at a reasonable time and the portions were plentiful! So of course I over ate and should have only ate half of my pasta - it was too yummy to waste. Then I HAD to order a dessert, Lemon Custard Profiteroles with burnt sugar & cream, pretty sure it was double cream mmm - pretty good!
My hubby had the Gnocchi Di Patate
with spicy sausage, tomato and olives which he said was tasty. For dessert he had the Crème Caramel which I tried and was devine!
Enjoyable night, I recommend it!
A fantastic spot. The pizzas are top notch and the service is excellent. In fact, the service befits a restraunt at twice the price. Definitely check them out. Just great Italian fare.
Kappys is a very cute little restaurant. The menu doesn't have a huge selection of options, but I always enjoy my meal and I can't fault the service.
we love this place. Great service and great food. The wood fired pizza is amazing. Nice quaint setting. Cant wait to go back to this local.
Went for dinner with my husband and 2 kids last Friday night for dinner. Was very busy but service was surprisingly fast and the waitresses were friendly. There didn't appear to be a children's menu but after asking the waitress, discovered there were many kids options. Overall, great meal and service & will be coming back.
Excellent, I nearly didn't go with some negative reviews, however wanted Italian! I am so glad we did, it was perfect the setting, the food and the service, could not have had a better night! :-)
Kappy's has been somewhere I've wanted to visit ever since we moved to the Swan Valley. Reading reveiws and people saying it was a little pricey, i was pleasantly surprised by our meals. 3 adults, 3 children having entrees, mains and drinks and all up it was just over $200, and with the entertainment book card, it came down to just under $160.
we started with the bruscetta and garlic bread to share.
The kids had lasange, spag bol and chicken schnitzel and chips. All the kids meals were good sized, although maybe the lasange was on the smallish size.
My husband had the veal scaloppine which was tender and tasty.
My MiL had the chili clam linguini which she enjoyed, and my wood oven roasted chicken was beautifully flavoured.
The MiL said theu have cut down the menu since she was there last, but it is still well rounded and sseems to cover a range of tastes.
If i could say anything negative it was that the service was a little off. They lost our booking and so we ended up on a table that hadnt been cleaned up properly - still crumbs and debris from previous diners, and it didnt get set properly - we were calling for cutlery and serviettes when our entrees were served.
I wish we had visitdd here a lot sooner.
There aren't too many options for dinner on a Sunday night in the Swan Valley or Guildford. A quick check of the Entertainment Book and Kappy's Italian Restaurant came up.
They are situated on Swan Road, near the West Swan Road roundabout.
They have converted an older style home with high ceilings, wood features and fire places into a charming restaurant.
The restaurant has a very warm and welcoming feel, with different types of seating and table set up from the undercover outdoor alfresco to the individual rooms within the restaurant.
The Food:
Beef carpaccio, capers and lemon dressing $14.50
I tried to contain my excitement when the dish was delivered to the table. A generous amount of lemon dressing that wasn't overpowering and the beef was tender and melted in your mouth.
Crumbed Veal Scaloppine with spaghetti bolognese $34.50
A tender piece of veal with lashings of sauce and cheese.
Wood roasted ½ Chicken with lemon, rosemary and chilli $34.50
The chicken was crispy on the outside, moist on the inside and the vegetable served had a light dressing. Delicious!
Dessert:
Custard filled profiteroles with caramel sauce $12.50
Toasted coconut meringue, raspberry coulis and black cherry gelato $14.00
These desserts were beautiful to look at and tasted just as good.
Beverages:
They have a good selection of wines and beers and you can purchase sparkling wine by the glass or BYO $7.50 per bottle
The Service:
Excellent service, very friendly and helpful.
Good pasta and good vibes. I wouldn't usually take the effort to write a review of a restaurant that I've visited good or bad however I felt the need after I visited Kappy's on the weekend. Lovely friendly staff, family run with a comfortable atmosphere, It made for a good feed on Saturday.
Big family servings, lovely wood fired pizza with that perfect base, and PERFECT CHILLI CRAB PASTA which I will definitely be returning for. Loved everything! RECCOMEND.
The best restaurant I've ever been so far in Perth, don't know why some writes bad review about this place. The food just perfect, good size with the price we paid. The athmosphere of the place is homey and comfortable. We went there for our annviversary, the staff were helpfull and friendly. I would recomended anyone to try this restaurant.
Finally a restaurant that feels like a restaurant!
This little gem and just keeps getting better, the wood fired oven gives a great ambience and the pizzas taste amazing, service was friendly and not intrusive, can't say enough good things about this place, do yourself a favour and get down there quick smart
User reviews. Visited this resturant 20th Feb. The service was very good, staff pleassant and friendly and the meal was fantasic. would recommed to anyone who enjoys good Italian food
Came to Kappys for the first time last week, and absolutely adored it. Wonderful atmosphere, attentive staff and 100% worth the price. Do not for the life of me understand the negative comments; anyone after a wonderful and authentic Italian restaurant should come here immediately!
Spectacular!...same as last time. Well i dont know what Kappys the people went to that reviewed it poorly..but my wife and i went tonight for our anniversary...and just like last time...service was great..brushcetta was lovely..and the steak was unbelievably good...cooked to perfection...finished off with the coconut meringue...heaven!...ive never had a bad meal there...love the little room out the back next to the bar...highly recommended...we'll be back...again
Service was great, the food was reasonably priced for the serving size and all the dishes tasted excellent, we will be back
Went on Monday 15th September to celebrate my partner's mums birthday. Was greeted by the friendly staff who remembered me calling to book. The menu was explained and we ordered calamari and garlic bread to share. Delicious and well cooked. We had seafood risotto (one of the best risottos), veal ravioli with bolognese (delicious) and chicken breast with fresh veg (yum). We were offered an off-menu dessert of home made meringue which was divine. Service was outstanding. Def going back soon
Lovely place for a night out. We came here on a Monday night for dinner with friends, I was initially a little wary when the restaurant appeared to be empty, but within half an hour it filled up nicely which is a good sign for a Monday. The interior is quaint and romantic, I could definitely imagine couples coming here for a date. Although friends and family had reported very mixed experiences at Kappy's, we couldn't have been happier overall with the food and service. We brought a BYO bottle of wine which was handled without drama (and only charged $5 corkage for the whole table), and ordered a range of entrees and mains. The bruschetta were fresh and tasty, the rosemary flatbread with tomato chilli sauce was unusual but delicious, and the field mushroom and parmesan starter was generous and much liked, although I found it perhaps a touch watery. For mains we had 2 specials, capretto (baby goat) braised with vegetables which was meltingly tender, and wild rabbit papardelle which was a huge and tasty serve of a meat which is sometimes hard to get right. A slightly more elegant version of chicken parmi went down well also. By the end of the meal we were all well fed and looked after - the bill was pretty reasonable for Perth all things considered and I'd certainly be back for a special occasion.
You must try the Chilli Crab Pasta! Yum! We also ordered a very tasty Half Chicken along with some beers (a cocktail for myself) and some yummy wood fired garlic bread... Great atmosphere too, we will be back to Kappys soon for sure!
Lovely restaurant. We dined at Kappys on Wednesday 21/5/14 for a family dinner and it was fantastic. We had 7 people and everyone loved their meal. The atmosphere is always very relaxing and I think because it is set in an old house there are different rooms and you don't get lots of noise because of this. I have dined here on numerous occasions and the food and service are consistently good. They have BYO wine which is a bonus and I love the feel of the restaurant. Will be back again soon.
Fresh food. Always a stand out meal - have been eating at Kappys in various locations for over 20 years which speaks volumes - as we eat out regularly tend to be choosy but the attitude & food at Kappys will never disappoint - top 10 in our book
Great night out. Another great meal, this place never ceases to satisfy. The food is always top notch and the service great. I have eaten here regularly in the last few years and since the introduction of the wood fired pizza oven it has added an extra dimension to the the dining experience.
There is something for everyone's taste and budget on the menu, I can highly recommend taking a trip to Guildford for a great taste of Italy.
Guildford Gem. "Kappys Italian" is truly a fabulous find, situated at 120 swan st. Guildford, just down the road from the "Rose & Crown Hotel" and the new friendly café/restaurant "Little Guildford"
Kappys has excellent Italian food at very reasonable prices, a few of us ladies went there for lunch last Friday, the place was full of local business men but we still felt very comfortable, no leering cooperate types, just nice men. The food was fresh and tasty and the service spot on, we are defiantly going to make this place our regular spot!
Mamma Mia. Here we go again!
What I thought was going to be another run of the mile Italian restaurant really surprised me and all my eleven guests the other night. "Kappys" Italian in Guildford was brilliant. The staff were all friendly, efficient and I must mention this all where very clean and neat attire a rarity these days in any restaurant, no piercings or visible tattoos there.
Now the food. what can I say a successful restaurateur once said that the secret to a good restaurant is first the service, second the ambiance and if the food is good its a bonus, well "Kappys" food is a bonus, everyone on our table just raved about it! Steaks perfectly cooked, chilli crab pasta out of this world, all our dishes where perfect, and the prices too, I could not believe it was around $50 per head with drinks "Kappys" put us down for more.
Food, Service, Ambiance: Number One!. This restaurant has got it all. I cant believe that we have only just found this place! the waitress told me that they have been in business 32 years, they must be doing everything right.
No hype about this place its all real, The night we went it was standing room only, people coming and going all looking really happy. I cant understand how they do so well without any advertisement. I guess word of mouth still rules, 'Kappys' is now our favourite restaurant. Awesome!
"Kappy's is like going home". My Family and I have been going to Kappys Italian Restaurant since 1980, when I was five, I still remember always getting excited when we were to go! Now I am 37yrs old and I still get the same feeling taking my own family there. What is incredible is that they have been the same owners all this time, quiet incredible! but then I guess they deserve their success.
The food? Try everything!!
We recently went to Kappys Restaurant and we were extremely impressed from the moment we walked in. The service was second to none, with the waitresses being so lovely, friendly and helpful!
We started off with the bruschetta, and it was the nicest bruschetta we've ever eaten. I had the chilli crab spaghetti which was so tasty and moreish, My husband had the spaghetti with chilli squid which he would not stop talking about! We just enjoyed everything about Kappys and will defiantly be coming again soon!
Thanks Kappys
Impressive!!!. I have read some of the reviews for Kappy's and was in two minds whether or not to go. I decided to book a reservation with my fiancé last Saturday and had a wonderful time. The maitre d' was very friendly and gave us the choice of sitting inside or outside, and we chose outside. We sat next to the woodfire oven and decided to order a pizza Bianca. It was just beautiful, and we were pleasantly surprised as the pizza chef looked no older than 17. I then ordered the fillet steak and my fiancé ordered the chilli crab pasta. Both of these dishes were packed with flavour and were simply delicious. We couldn't fit dessert, but we saw the ginger pudding go out to the table, and it looked very tempting. We were also given ample time to order our meals and we didn't feel rushed at all, for a busy Saturday night. Overall i was so impressed with the food, ambience and service that Kappy's provided, and recommend for all who want vintage italian cuisine!!!
It's all about the Ambiance. The biggest thing Kappy's has going for it is atmosphere and ambiance. Warm, welcoming staff, gorgeous 'house' style resturant in good location, seating in the French style, and a limited menu showing hot, tasty dishes.
The food is good. Not awesome, but tasty and good. The portions are large, even a little too large, but served with generosity not sloppiness.
We had liver (I know, but I love liver!) and the special chowder for starter - liver was tender and tasty, swimming in a flavoursome dark sauce, the chowder was a little bland, but full of clams.
Mains we had hot sausage risotto and chilli crab pasta - very large portions, we both couldn't finish and we actually took them home.. Pasta was delicate and had lots of crab, it was good. Note - Parmesan was grated on top was a bit like the stuff you buy in a supermarket? It wasn't but shaved would go a long way. :). Risotto was very heavy but full full full of man flavour! Same note re Parmesan he too. Strange note - we were never offered black pepper and no pepper in shaker either?
Dessert was an awesome, obviously homemade shared piece of tiramisu - strangely the only small portion all night!
Prices VERY reasonable, $127 for 2, $5 corkage, vintage wine shop next door, great date venue, go for the friendly warm atmosphere, great winter resturant.
Warm, inviting and great location, very homely atmosphere. Really good food with even better service. Great touch of class.
Beautiful. Dined there on w.... Beautiful.
Dined there on wednesday night with 2 of my hospitality industry friends.
The chorizo risotto was truly delicious. I hsd the blue cheese & procuitto pizza just devine & my friend had the slow roasted chicken. Byo is great as we brought our Jack Mann 2008 from Houghton wines with a $5 vorkage fee.
Its so nice to bring your own precious wine to enjoy with extraordinary food.
Thankyou will definitely be here again.
Best chilli crab spaghetti. Had chilli crab pasta,sensational tasty sauce plenty of crab very unusual since I order this dish everywhere I go never do they have this much crab meat.Lovely bottle of pinot grigio staff were friendly and attentive place was cute and clean I had a great experience, would suggest others go!
Unfortunately we didn’t get pics of our food because we were too keen to eat it! But tonight was absolutely amazing could not fault the restaurant at all! The service was fantastic, super fast and friendly, the food was to die for and the cocktails were…. Not skimping (left feeling rather jolly 😂) top quality italian food
WOW WOW WOW. Just amazing little Italian restaurant. Cozy decor, extremely welcoming staff and the food, yum. Huge serving and great prices. Will be back and soon. Pics are Creamy prawn & scallop ravioli and smoked salmon. Porcini Mushroom risotto with truffle oil.
Enjoyed myself. Fresh pasta and excellent customer service.
Went past, saw it was open, went in for a light lunch, we did a walk in, and the lovely female staff member had to check, whether it was ok, and it was.
We had a herb and garlic bread and a sharing plate, and I must say the OLIVES where delicious, for someone who doesn't like them.
We're definitely coming back, I only wish I could have given you a twenty star rating.
Simon and wheelie.
Whenever we go out, my go to is always a tomato based pasta. Kappys does the BEST spicy crab linguine!! It’s always my go-to. They took it off the menu once and I was devastated but they replaced it with a prawn pasta which was equally as good! I went back another time and that was off the menu too but the waitress who remembered me had the kitchen make it for me especially. Coming from a hospitality background, this is definitely going above and beyond. The restaurant is super cosy and unique too. Have tried a number of other items on the menu, also fantastic! Such a gem to have so close to home. Thank you!
Have been meaning to go there for years, but glad we finally did today. Cosy little spot with a classic Italian menu - not a lasagne or bacon carbonara in sight which was nice. We opted for the crusty Italian bread to start which we washed down with the very reasonable house red (which you can order by the carafe). For main, we had the scolopini in marsala mushroom sauce and the fettuchini with beef ragu (special). Both were packed with flavour and perfect for the miserable rainy day. To finish, we had the tiramisu and lemon cream profiteroles. Both incredible. The former was rich, creamy and soaked in nice coffee. The latter was lighter, but just as delicious. I wasn't sure if I'd like the lemon element, but it worked really and lifted the whole thing. Easy 5 stars - we'll definitely be back!
This was my first experience at Kappy's and I was pleasantly surprised. The restaurant feels very authentic Italian with it's red and white table cloths and tasteful decor. The food was definitely the kicker to make me come back. I had one of the best seafood risotto's I ever tasted. The wine selection was great and reasonably priced. The staff were prompt and friendly. Given that this is located around the corner from my office in Guildford I'll definitely be visiting again for a long Friday lunch. 👌
One of the best places for an Italian meal in Perth. Perfect and attentive service, great food and very accommodating for kids etc. (they don't have kids meals as such but happy to make smaller serves of something) Also in the WA entertainment book. Great place in winter time as its protected from the elements with great heating.
