We came on a Saturday night and it was full house.. luckily we booked beforehand! Despite this, service was attentive and quick. Food came out shortly after we ordered and HOT, which for me is impressive as I love my food steaming hot. Arancini balls were crispy with a strong mushroom flavour. Both pastas had a generous serve. You can tell they were homemade and cooked perfectly al dente. Unexpectedly I enjoyed the lamb ragu pasta better than the crayfish one. The lamb had a good punch of flavour whereas the crayfish one was more subtle. Will be back to try their pizzas and desserts.
I finally got around to organising a dinner at Locale Mio. Ive been wanting to try this place for a while now but never got a chance to; also it was about 25-30mins drive. I came here with a group of Italians friends, so the pressure was on! đ The place had a nice decor & vibe and we ordered a few dishes to share - scallops (really good!), octopus (average), croquettes (didnât like. The filling was a little â sadâ and coating had not much âcrunchâ in it), crostini porchetta (amazing!) and the pizzas..buonissimo! Classico pizza (which is aka Parma at some other restaurants) is really spot on. Crust is beautiful and light (not chewy at all), plus the ingredients are fresh & of quality..yum! The guys had carne pizza and they loved it. Dessert: panna cotta was good, tiramisĂč was disappointing (barely any coffee, too much cream), zeppole was ok (I just wished it was pipping hot, fried, straight out of the pan) but the salted caramel sauce was amazing and wasnât overly sweet. Overall, the food was good, nice atmosphere, Service nothing to complain about. Well..It is now one of my favourite pizza joint! Def worth the travel :)
This is my second time coming for dinner and I have to say, it was absolutely incredible! They decor and ambiance is lovely and relaxed and though it has concrete floors it is not a loud restaurant.
We were shown our table (we booked) and were promptly offered water and when our water and menus arrived we were offered drinks. I had a negroni which was made perfectly and arrived surprisingly fast.
Throughout the entire dinner we were taken care of by attentive owner and his staff. I couldn't believe I was in Perth, I was so impressed by the service!
The menu is rather extensive with a choice of tapas, pasta, pizza and salads. There was a good variety of traditional Italian meals which I appreciated and by the looks and smells of all the food going by, I knew it was going to be good again.
My boyfriend and I shared the ham and cheese croquettes, beef carpaccio, Polpette pomodoro (meatballs) and the salsiccia pizza. Each and every bite was absolutely delicious. The pizza was the best I have had in a long time, the dough was the right amount of crispy and chewy, the salsiccia so authentic it reminded me of my Nonna!
I would highly recommend Locale Mio and I will definitely be coming back.
