We had our wedding reception at Julio’s and it was the most perfect wedding venue. From the delicious food, stunning venue, excellent drinks choice and wonderful and professional staff we honestly could not fault a single thing. Right from the start we felt so comfortable with the events organiser and we were so happy with how everything came together on the night. Many of our guests have since complimented the venue on the food, service and atmosphere. Thank you Sandie, Azmi, Burta and all the wonderful staff at Julio’s & Sage Hotel.
We absolutely loved our meals of tortellini and gnocchi made with beautifully fresh ingredients. So much so we went back again, this time to enjoy duck ragu tagliatelle and WA lamb shoulder - both of which were just as good as the previous meal. Service was spot on and wine complimented the meal perfectly.
I Loved this place, the staff were so accommodating and friendly, the food & wine was fabulous, we went for dinner before the adele concert and they were full, tho they still found somwhere nice for us and looked after us. thanks you guys.
We will def return !
I had lunch yesterday with my partner and we loe it! Simple italian way for a quick lunch. Focaccia, salumi board for 1 and eggplant involtino. We share a Trenette pasta with lamb ragu and a cassata for dessert. A glass of Pinot noir from Yarra Valley and a good coffe. Everything was tasty and well presented. Compliment to the Chef! We will be back!
We managed to get a table at the last minute for dinner at Julio's and we quickly and attentively treated. I could have ordered almost everything on the menu - it all sounded so good. Decided on the Arancini Ball and Crepes and my husband had the gnocchi. Both our meals were amazing and the wine was great too. We finished off with a delectable dessert each were just gorgeous. Staff and service were great and food just brilliant. Can't wait till I find a reason to come back again.
Loved the food, and the venue was to die for� Thank you.
Fabulous food, great wine and good service,and overall pricing was quite competitive.
We had the tapes to share it was fantastic and the crepe's were to die for. Washed down with a bottle of Deep wood Chardonnay. Looking forward to going back.��
Beautiful setting, great food, excellent service! Wish there few more main dishes to choose from, but I guess in fine dining that is not really the point. I had some amazing pork and looking forward trying something else next time
Our daughter’s wedding reception- 3 course dinner plus dance floor for approximately 45 people was professionally managed- and nothing was too much trouble! Thanks so much. Everything was brilliant and the friendly service and food quality was superb.
Highly recommend .... beautiful food fantastic service. Will come back again for dinner <3 <3
The food was fantastic 17 years ago when we first went there and it's still the same now. Along with the dining ambience, it's a definite hearty recommendation ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Outstanding food and service, visited twice already well done guys, consistency is the key...will be definitely coming back...
Came here on a Friday night, and was pleased that it wasn’t too busy. Good place for a date or a quiet catch up, and real nice ambience. Service was really attentive but never annoying. For mains I had the ravioli which was lovely, and actually all our food was real tasty
Enjoyable meal here with the entertainment voucher. We shared the beef carpaccio for entree. I had the ravioli for my main. My friend had the beetroot risotto. Great meal with very friendly staff.
3.5 rating.
came in on a quiet sunday evening for dinner. service was lovely and attentive throughout the 1.5 hours we spent there.
for starters we had the focaccia red pesto, and the chicken and pistachio meatballs. that focaccia is probably the best i’ve ever had, and we’ve had a few in italy! it was served fresh, warm and crispy, and went perfectly with that pesto. the meatballs were so-so. a tad bit over cooked as the meat was quite tough, and the balls themselves didn’t have much flavour.
for mains we got the cannellone (prawns and crab mousse with seafood bisque), and the beef cheek ravioli. i enjoyed my cannellone, although i would’ve preferred a slightly thicker sauce. my partner’s ravioli was very odd texture-wise. we were expecting it to be a bit meaty, but instead it was like a pate, and tasted very weird. the sauce was nice but completely overpowered by the filling.
we didn’t order dessert as they were all fruity and i don’t enjoy fruit in my sweets!
we would come back, but just for that amazing bread!!!
Rustic setting, warm ambience. Tried a few dishes and really enjoyed:
👍Scialatelli- pasta cooked al-dente and has good amount of fresh seafood in it
👍Anatra - Roasted duck breast on pumpkin puree was divine! Duck was cooked perfectly with a blush of pink in the middle.
👍Polpette- Chicken with pistachio meatballs were juicy and moist, and with the tomato sugo, the combination of flavours were so delicious.
Beer battered chips were enjoyable and a great side snack. For desserts, we had the Limone (Lemon Curd) and Bonet (Italian pudding). Both desserts were pleasant and a good finish to our meal, but nothing spectacular.
Service was prompt and friendly. Overall, a fantastic dining experience.
We had a wonderful time here! Delicious food, lovely ambience and great service. We had the arrancini balls for entree, prawn gnocchi and lamb shoulder for mains and ti ra su for dessert. All were delicious!
I love an old building, it has soft lighting and peaceful music, it has a pleasant, soothing ambience. The food were delicious, the waiter was attentive. $300 for 4 people with drinks, yummo
Had a fabulous meal with some friends great atmosphere & the staff were very friendly
The head chef Simone came to our table for a friendly chat which made us feel quite special
We had Julio’s board to share the artisan cold meats were great they Even brought us extra ciabatta
We followed with the risotto & the Gnocchi & topped off with the venison tagliatelle everything looked & tasted amazing
We finished with the desert board which was a fantastic tasting of 3 desserts
Next time I will order the chocolate Caprese just for me it was delicious
We will certainly return next time we stay in Perth
It is the best Italian food I have had in a very long time. The gnocchi dish is amazing!!!! The staff are very welcoming and knowledgeable. There is always a great atmosphere in the restaurant.
Was here after they reopened.
I am Italian so my expectation on Italian food is high and the food was amazing. Staff were very good and enjoyed myself, looking forward to returning for a second helping
Great night out in a beautiful heritage building, on a romantic date night. The food was excellent providing some local twists on authentic Italian dishes.
I used to come to this place before it got renovated and after its renovation I have to say that the place is more appealing and the food has become more interesting. We tried a few dishes from the hand rolled prawn gnocchi and cocoa tagliatelle. Their pasta is still their forte here as they're unique and so tasty! They're our favourite dishes for the night! We also tried the pollo, scotch fillet and cartoccio. They're all nice but the Cartoccio is outstanding as the fish is fresh, light and has a lot of flavours. Impressed with the mains, we decided to try a number of the desserts. We had the crostata, chocolate caprese, panna cotta and pistachio mousse. The Panna cotta unfortunately has the rosemary which can be quite overpowering in taste. Our favourite has to be the crostata with the banana ice cream and the chocolate caprese! The flavour of the ingredients just blend so well and we cannot get enough of it. Overall, good experience!
Overall a nice dinner for us ! A historic block attached to a modern hotel building. Julio's is out of our expectation on the decor and the atmosphere. The food are on par with some fine dining place. The raw oysters are really fresh. However, we wanted to know the origin of the oysters and asked the waitress. The girl forgot the second times to come back even we had followed with her. We were not giving up to ask the third time and she managed to get an answer to us, and I hope that's the right answer. We noticed there's are young waitress, maybe they are not quite experience and will need to attend in details more.
I have no idea where those bad reviews are coming from. As an event organiser, I dine out a lot and get to compare many different venues.
Julio's has been beautifully refurbished, and the place has a modern, innovative yet welcoming feel to it.
We promptly were greeted and the friendly service throughout the evening was attentive without ever feeling to be intrusive. A big thanks goes to our sweet waiter, Stefano, who so patiently looked after a bunch of demanding diners without ever losing the smile on his face.
Our group of nine ordered a variety of entrees, mains and desserts. Each and every meal was well received. The quality of food was perfect, and portion sizes were far more generous to many comparable places.
There was not even one complaint about any of the dishes we had.
Do yourself a favour and get into Julio's. You won't be disappointed.
I highly recommend this venue.
I have to admit, italian restaurants don't normally attract my attention.....all the oil & carbs usually leave me feeling bloated & flatulent. However, a friend recommended Julio's, saying that it can't be bad having lasted as long as it had haha. So i figured, why not?
I was greeted by a lovely young gentleman & shown to a seat near the window. I loved the decor....the weathered, distressed look of the walls, ceiling etc just sets such a cosy ambiance.
I got a tempranillo by the glass & 3 natural oysters to start. I wasn't thrilled by the wine...but the oysters were fresh & tasty.
As my main i got the Tortelli, with potato & italian sausage, thyme, black truffle sauce & hazelnuts. This dish did not fail to impress. I absolutely loved it.....the wine was a terrible match to this though & by this stage i was laughing & thinking of ordering a light white....but i just drank my water, as the food was a delight to my palate anyway.
I almost never eat dessert (especially at italian restaurants, im usually ill by then lol), just a shared cheese board or affogatto maybe, but when the lovely waiter told me the portion size, I figured...why not?
I ordered the Dolcemangiare, goat cheese, rhubarb & raspberry fluid gel, port poached rhubarb & cacao nibs.
I didn't regret my decision for even a second. What a taste sensation with all the elements complimenting each other fantastically....& beautifully presented.
Overall I highly recommend this place to lovers of Italian cuisine and those that are unsure......I'll be going back!!!
Visited Julio's Italian restaurant with a group of friends (7 of us). Were pleasantly surprised to find the rustic Italian countryside ambiance inside the Heritage hotel on busy Hay St - it's light and inviting, fairly busy on a Thursday night but not overwhelmingly so. Great choices of starters, main dishes and desserts, and a good range of wines. We started with the selection board of delicious salami, cheeses and ciabatta and arancini. For main I chose the wild boar papardelle - homemade thick pasta with the rich meat and wine sauce, a classic Italian dish that I had last tried at a sagra in Tuscany, and it was as good! My friends had hand rolled potato gnocchi, slow cooked duck, sirloin steak and cartoccio which is a fish oven baked in foil, all said to be really tasty. All in all, a great Italian restaurant offering a lovely menu, great service and atmosphere.
Julios newly open renovated restaurant with the new boutique hotel attached to it is definitely a great improvement. We came here for a large company lunch few years ago twice and now dinner.
I am really impress with the quality of the fresh food and new menu. You guys must try the boar papadella and steak cook medium
rare. Everything else was really good.
Julio’s, a favourite haunt for West Perth workers for over thirty years, has been transformed into a swanky but approachable Italian diner. The iconic residence of Perth menswear moguls, the Walsh family, has been retained as part of a multi-million dollar hotel development. The rear of the historical house has been knocked through and now blends with the modern foyer of the Sage Hotel.
With so many mains to choose from, I settled for the Wild Boar Pappardelle especially because I imagined it to be quite hearty and I love the broad size of the pappardelle. The house-made and hand cut pasta didn't disappoint at all, and it always makes me happy knowing how something so simple could taste so special.
Lisa from Feather Horse shared her squid ink pasta with me! I was so happy that I could try that dish because it was very difficult to find squid ink pasta that was filled with so much flavour. Julio's rendition of the dish was very refreshing and light, two spoons just wasn’t enough to satisfy my palate
Just loved this old buildings ambiance & the fact you can sit outside & enjoy an al fresco lunch. I could not let the chance slip by to try out their Alpino calazione. Was just delicious especially with roasted potato & pumpkin filling.
Wow, the all new Julio's is a really nice cafe. The food was delicious and servings were about right for the very reasonable prices. Good wine menu, although limited. This place just went to the top of my quiet lunch list... Will definitely do a date night here too.
Enjoyed a lovely dinner experience at Julio’s. The place has a different feel to many other restaurants I’ve been to. It feels friendly, warm and inviting. Staff encountered were lovely & friendly as well as very accommodating to our meal change requests. The food were absolutely beautiful with great flavours and seasoned perfectly! We requested to add on salami to the garlic prawn pizza and it was absolutely divine! Highly recommended for an Italian dining 😊
Absolutely amazing! My husband and I went to Julio's for lunch and were served promptly. We sat inside and it was a lovely atmosphere :) The food was divine - my husband had the lunch special which was the creamy pesto gnocchi; his words were "I could eat about 5 bowls of this!". The wine was perfect too. I had the chicken, with porcini risotto and orange and fennel salad - so delicious. Highly recommend a visit to Julio's!
I ordered the grilled chicken and chickpea pure. The combination of these two flavours match perfectly. I asked for a cold salad instead of the asparagus one and the staff was very friendly with my request. The restaurant atmosphere is lovely, I'll definitely be back soon to try new dishes!
We set on an outside table which was nice as the evening temperature was still quite pleasant. We only had a main dish each as we did have a rather big lunch. The lamb dish was very delicious and the lamb was very tender. The sauce was thick and rich. We were happy with our dinner.
Absolutely enjoyed our meals at Julio’s. Great friendly attentive service and tasty delicious authentic Italian food. Highly recommended!
We travelled from Victoria to Western Australia for business and stayed at Sage hotel for the duration and loved the convenience of Julio's.
Whether it be breakfast, late afternoon light meal or dinner Julio's was able to cater for this. The relaxed atmosphere of the restaurant and attentive staff - especially Gillian and Sebastian (like the crab 🦀) was what we needed after what was an extremely busy work day.
While we did have an issue with one of our dinning experiences, Sebastian and Jillian went over and above to rectify the situation once they were alerted to it.
If you are in town, definitely drop in - the Bruschetta (with a poached egg), Calamari Fritti and Patatine were delicious.
Thanks so much for making our first trip to Perth enjoyable and keeping our bellies full.
Tried my luck with walk in on a Monday night. A small restaurant buzzing with activity. The waitress from Chile was very helpful. Food was excellent. The lamb shoulder and vegetarian egg plant angotti pasta was very good. The best was the gnocchi pasta. Creamy and extremely tasty. The ice cream for dessert came in a small box. Yummy salted caramel!
Such a great little find. We had interstate guests over and the 6 of us had a super dinner there. It was Friday night and yes it was busy but lots of staff. A guy playing a guitar near the fire place was very pleasant. Food drinks and service brilliant. We have only been living in the city for 14 months so this was a little hidden gem. Yes we will be back thanks again
