The survivor of West Perth fine dining scene. It survives because the food and family-run service is superb. The mother of the restaurant is quirky and charming. Very good dessert trolley. Service could sometimes be a bit faster.

Prepared from the heart by a xhef with passion... A wiz when it comes to degustation meals. Highly recommend. Giuseppe even visited the group a few times to leave that personal touch....

Have dined here several times over the years and I have always maintained that it is still a beautiful restaurant to have a special occasion dinner. Walking into the main dining area you are greeted with an atrium style dining room with a glass skylight roof. Waiters are professionally dressed and it’s definitely a silver service, white tablecloth affair. Menu has hardly changed over the years - we started with the puff pastry with mozzarella and black truffle (very delicious), pasta with seafood in a creamy sauce (very good), gamberi aglio (good), and the pan fried fish of the day (cooked well but nothing special overall). Dessert was a selection of pies, cakes and other offerings on a dessert trolley wheeled to the table (which is great if you are indecisive and like to see exactly what you are getting - desserts were all a bit ordinary though). Definitely on the pricey side, but a nice authentic Italian dining experience nonetheless.

This place is first class. If it isn’t the best Italian restaurant in Perth someone needs to tell me where is. The food is superb, could stand up in Italy. The service is great. The family are nice people, and make me feel at home. The son knows how to make a customer feel welcome. My favourite entrees are the pastries with Mozzarella and Truffle or the Gnocchi, and if you get the chance to try the beef cheek, take it!!!

I think all the complainers who couldn't have pasta for mains should stick to Siena's in Leederville - Perugino is classic Italian dining, done the traditional way.

We loved the duck ravioli and the gnocchi for starters, and our mains of snapper and slow roasted duck were excellent. The quality of the food is fantastic.

The service is also very personal, which I loved. The chef, hostess and wait staff all seemed genuinely interested in making sure their diners had a good experience. When the whiting dish that I had ordered was out, the chef offered to make the same dish with snapper instead, which was lovely.

We really couldn't fault our experience. It's classic dining done very well. If you want a big bowl of pasta for dinner, go somewhere that actually serves that.

All the Italian classics and more. Very good variety, the flavours are authentic. A bit expensive, but worth it.
Great for functions, as they have separated rooms.

I was excited when I walked into Perugino, the settings were amazing with brilliant decors and ambience.  First impression was this place is as Italian as it can be.  Apart from the lady who took our orders, the service was good.  Like others, we received a sales pitch from the lady that one dish was not enough per person and even came back to tell us to order more after we finished.  The others were brilliant, our glasses were always topped up and plates cleared promptly which made the evening pleasant.

The taste wasn't bad , I've had fish it was quite tasty and their desserts were delicious. Service was fast and good but in the end it was a bit pricey. In my option , it doesn't deserve that price , you can Italian taste better there easily in Perth , atmosphere wasn't that good but for Perth it was more than okay.

Could not fault. Amazing service, food and venue. Could not speak highly enough of the wait staff and chef, who all took time out of their evenings to come around to each table for a friendly chat.
Highly recommend.

Great food - you can't fault that. Beautiful setting. My only other comment would be that be sure to be certain or firm with your decision because if the owner is your waitress, you will have to order what she tells you! I'm sure it was all with good intentions though.

We had a really good night here, making a birthday celebration quite memorable.

We met the very unique chef and maitre'd at the start of the service and were treated like guests in their home. It's been a while since I dined with a table filled with multiple cutleries and impeccably dressed waiters; I was too shy to ask for tap water!!!

We had the banquet menu - courses were determined by the chef. I didn't get to take all the photos so it wasn't just limited to the photos below. We had a lovely white broccoli stem soup, mozzarella wrapped pastry on a bed of truffle cream (my favorite), garlic crunchy prawns, two pasta entree sizes (I was filled with good wine and food by this time), fish and baby goat. While I don't think the savoury food was outstanding (except the pastry with truffle cream), the service was really memorable. Very decadent, over the top and (it's such an odd description) but I felt like I was a rich and important person. Hehe. Savoury courses :3.6rating

And then the freshly baked birthday cake came in and it was so goood!! It tasted close to a tiramisu but we were told sternly that it "is absolutely NOT a tiramisu, it is a traditional Birthday cake!". We just nodded our head in acceptance and asked for second serves.

Then we demanded the dessert trolley be wheeled in and hence my score of 3.9rating - insane desserts! We had poached pear (the best I have had), the lightest cheesecake slice (creamy cloud texture), melon tart (so so), creme caramel (nice), lemon tart (good), and then I think we had two more desserts but my memory just failed from discomfort of a very full belly. Dessert courses :4.2 rating

Four hours of dining! We stumbled out after a bill of $125 each - not the cheapest but certainly a fun and well worth it meal.

Amazing food - best gnocchi ever! Very fancy. We went here for a birthday dinner and had a wonderful time. It was a very quiet night which was actually quite nice, as it meant it was only us and a couple of other tables. There are a couple of dining areas which makes for a nice, homely ambience, and before our main meals we were treated with a complimentary mushroom dish. I don't usually like mushrooms but this mushroom was seriously WOW. For mains we ordered the gnocchi, chef special, and duck, all of which were lovely. The gnocchi, though, deserves a special mention as it was probably the best I've ever tasted. For desert we all had a bit of everything (VERY YUM - I recommend the grape cake + cream) and overall were delighted with the service we received. Overall, we had a wonderful time and will definitely be returning for our next special occasion!

Got taken here for lunch, when was only expecting to head out for a sandwich. I guess if you are going to break your commitment to eating healthy and losing weight, it might as well be at a place like this. Haven't been for several years, but the food and service is still top class. Topped off some gnocchi and the fish of the day with some limoncello. Unproductive for the rest of the work day!

Perugino was the setting for a recent birthday dinner with a few friends. JS has dined at Perugino many times and loves it. We’d read several intriguing comments about how the proprietor of Perugino has upset patrons with her brusque manner, but she was the perfect hostess and our experience was positive from start to finish. We loved the glass domed ceiling which gave the room a feeling of expansiveness, the single stem roses on the tables, and the tall potted leafy plants.

What an Amazing experience! The 3 of us and my bub went during their lunch service on a busy Friday. The service, staff (especially owners) and of course food was lovely and faultless. For s fine dining restaurant I found it child friendly and family orientated. It was not an issue at all. 3 of us We ordered a mix of entree pastas. My bro is s to regular and his recommendations were top notch! Pastas were beautiful. Seasoning, taste and quantity was perfect. Some fine dining restaurants serve that as a main but not here. For the mains were all ordered the capretto! It was amazing. Now with what I've seen at Italian restaurants who serve capretto is that u get primarily bones or the meat is quite chewy. Again, not here. It melted in your mouth and with minimal bone. In fact I didn't et any whilst My bro just got the little shank bone. No complaints there. They even serve a piece of skin on the plate for the skin lovers. Veges were great too and moreish! Oven roasted Potatoes and broccoli and aubergine. Yes they were heavily oiled for my liking but they were again well cooked and tasted great. Dessert trolley was good. A variety of cakes never fails. Wine was enjoyed by e other diners also. Great selection of multicultural wines available. Keep up the good work. Can't wait to return!

An 8 out of 10. First time eating here. A group of four of us sampled a variety of dishes.

Positives: Elegant atmosphere, prompt and courteous seating to a properly set table, attentive service to our table all throughout the evening. Food was well prepared and they accommodated our requests for substitutes. The arincini ball as a starter was nice, but very tiny and almost pointless. The gnocchi was melt-in-your-mouth along with our substituted gorgonzola sauce, which was beautifully rich and creamy but not overly so (wanted to lick the plate but restrained myself). Rib-eye was nicely cooked, generous portion, salads and vegetables were just right. Wine was lovely. Owner stopped and chatted with our group, which was very pleasant. Coffees served well, tasted good.

Negatives: Water server hastily poured water at table, causing a waterfall effect. Vegetables are served by waiters learning old school technique of fork/spoon-in-one-hand-as-tong technique (awkward and ill-effective as he splashed sauce on table nearly hitting our guest's chest, although did apologize nicely); crumbed lamb a disappointment, accompanying figs way too sugary for a main and didn't taste well with the lamb; fig tart for dessert also way too densely sweet, tiramisu spooned out of a lasagna dish clumsily onto a dessert plate and no taste of Marsala wine. Also, no background music so a little awkward trying to not overhear other's conversations. Some elegant, soft playing Italian music or even just classical would suit nicely.

Worth another visit.

Beautiful Night. My partner and I have been wanting to have dinner here for a while now and we finally went last night. The food was gorgeous, particularly the first course special of wild boar pasta and the slow roasted duck with rosemary and saffron sauce from the second course menu. Cheese trolley ... say no more, the gorgonzola was robust and punchy, just what you want. There is also an impressive wine list including some half bottle options which is great. We thought the food was well priced with more mains in the $30s than $40s. Also a very impressive Italian craft beer selection. We had a beautiful night :)

100/10!!! We had the lunch special of three courses for $55!

Delicious duck ragu gnocchi as a starter which was the perfect portion. And the gnocchi wasn't heavy and over bearing like good old Siennas (not that I'm too good for Siennas!)

Roast duck for mains - words cannot describe the perfection that was this dish! The duck literally melted in my mouth and the skin was crispy and delicious

The dessert trolley had gorgeous offerings, I'll try the profiteroles next time I think!

Wait staff were top class, so personable and friendly. The venue itself is so classic and stunning, in a great location

A hidden gem!

Food excellent except for one dish of a weird mixture of calamari and other stuff. .
Food prices are very reasonable for such a restaurant.

A fine example of an authentic and truly classy Italian restaurant.. Perugino is simply the best Italian restaurant in Perth and perhaps even Australia, In the past few years i'm not even sure i have experienced a restaurant in Italy or anywhere in the South / South East of Europe that provides the classic, classy and truly authentic Italian food, exquisite wine, service and atmosphere that my wife and I have experienced here on numerous occasions.

The Ospitalita Italiana seal recognises those that uphold the country's traditions to a standard that makes them worthy of being ambassadors of the Italian culture, The Italian Government has awarded its prestigious quality seal to very few restaurants outside of Italy and Perugino is one of those restaurants. They consistently meet and exceed the standards, expectations and definition of true fine dining.

If you are seeking to enjoy an elegant evening and wish to dine in true Italian fashion then you need look no further.

Classy. Went there for lunch on a Friday.
Setting: Opened a big door and there was a table on the right - like a "reception" table. We were led into a corridor and then a big bright roundish room with sunken roof. The place is quite classy.
Atmosphere: Formal. Basically white overall with fine cutlery.
Service: Staff were very professional and formal and polite.
Food: We had the 3-course set lunch menu. Entree: Salmone Marinato Al Sedano Bianco
(Fresh Tasmanian Salmon cured with salt and served in a bed of lettuce, olive oil, lemon juice and celery) It was like salmon sashimi on a bed of salad. The salmon was very fresh and I enjoyed it (except I squeezed too much lemon juice into it). Main: Anatra in Porchetta (Domestic duck roasted in the oven with rosemary, bay leaf and garlic) The duck was really nice and moist. Dessert: There was a trolley full of dessert and the waiter came around and explained every single one of them. There were lots of choices like pouched pear, cheesecake, tart, tiramisu etc. It was good to be able to see the dessert before ordering them. I choose the tiramisu and it came with cream (you can request not to have the cream) and it was good!
Price: I think it is quite reasonable for the quality and service that you get.
Overall: Really like this place, you get treated like a valued customer and the atmosphere will be perfect for a business meeting or a romantic date.

The food is some of the best I've ever had in Perth... But I'm not sure it's enough to outweigh the service which is a real shame. It's a beautiful, small and romantic restaurant with divine food.

Perugino is a high-class restaurant, it's not going to cost $20 for a main....... If you don't want to pay decent money, maybe you'd feel more comfortable at Pizza Hut or Sizzlers because dinner here will definitely cost you over $100 for two. (But well worth it if you want authentic Italian for dinner)

No compliants. After reading all the reviews I'm a bit shocked, as we had a lovely evening on the night of my birthday last Thursday. when we arrived we were seated quickly, although with no menus, but didn't take long till one of the other waiters noticed this and handed us the menus and we ordered sparkling water. we went thru the menu with lots of umms and ooohs and yums! then we were greeted by an older lady assuming the one that a few of the reviews are talking about, she was very lovely to us, weather she has seen the reviews and has had an attitude adjustment, I'm not sure, but she was helpful too.

so we ordered our entrees, myself the crumbed garlic prawns, and my partner some chicken and veal pasta dish, then we ordered our mains, which we both ordered the same being the crumbed beef fillet, she was a bit concerned that I would not like it because the meat comes out med-rare and a bit bloody, to me, that's great, I love my steak to be like that, then she was concerned that the crumbed beef fillet would be to heavy because my partner was having the pasta and I the crumbed garlic prawns, and suggested we get the shared dish of the beef fillet cooked in rosemary and olive oil, more plain but traditional, and to be honest I actually do like my steak plain, so we agreed on that, and to me I found that very helpful of her.

We didn't have to wait for our entrees for long, but I loved the prawns, my partner isn't a fan of them but he really enjoyed it too, they were melt in your mouth delish! our main was great too, I cant fault it, they cooked a beautiful piece of meat perfectly. I wanted more! dessert was the traditional "cakes on a trolley' and all hand made.
The lil old lady was great, its such a shame that all the past recent reviewers had a bad experience. I love my food and I am picky with it too, and I couldn't fault anything with our meal. the meat itself was far better then a top end restaurant that we have eaten at twice at the crown that everyone raves about, meh! anyway so from experience, try it for yourself, don't be turned off by a few bad reviews, as from I have learnt, no one leaves good reviews anymore and when they do have a bad experience they will tell the world about it.

Great Service Authentic Food. The crumbed steak on a mushroom base was delicious, my partner had the salmon. We had our 19 month old very energetic, loud and inquisitive daughter with us and in true italian fashion the wait staff were fine and would often stop and talk to and entertain her. The fellow diners were great too (or so we hope).
The experience was great and we would highly recommend this restaurant.

Great Italian food. We came for my mother-in-law's birthday and had a great time at this cosy restaurant hidden in West Perth. The food was done in the classic Italian style (no pasta mains here). The only complaint was the wait between courses, but as there were six of us and the place was packed, it was to be expected.

Of course, songs can be written about the dessert trolley. Try the Creme Caramel or Tiramisu, it is truly fantastic!

My wife is vegetarian and we just had a great experience at Perugino. We have a sick baby at PMH and only had a short time for lunch. They made every effort to accommodate us. When we mentioned vegetarian they were very happy to alter the menu and offer suitable alternatives. The food was delicious and the service was excellent.

Simply amazing service from the very moment we stepped in - truly commendable staff who made us feel very special. Food was great and Perugino's 26-page wine list was impressive. We were well and truly full when the desert cart came around but we just could not resist the mouth watering delicacies of sorts that were staring back at us from the cart. We know that we will return to this place time and time again in the future. Well done Perugino!

Fabulous Function. Having a post-elopement wedding dinner was a challenge, and we initially picked Perugino as it was one of the few restaurants with a private dining room that would seat 30. But WOW!!

The 7-course-menu (plus croqembouche 'wedding cake') tailored by owner-chef Giuseppe was INCREDIBLE. Every guest commented on how much they loved it. Of note, the vegetarian at the table called the next day to re-iterate his satisfaction, being used to being an after thought on a set menu, he enjoyed each and every course that was presented (as did our gluten free contingent).

The room was lovely, the staff and service was excellent from booking, to choosing the menu, to the end of the night, and the bride was presented a bouquet in a personal, thoughtful touch.

The puff pastry filled with mozzarella and black truffle might be my favourite dish, ever. Next time, I'll be happy with 7 of those!

Thank you for making our celebration so wonderful :-)

Excellent authentic Italian fare, all dishes were very yummy but my favourite was the homemade spaghetti & delectable homemade desserts! Small morsels somewhat deceiving to the eye, as we struggled through the last few courses.
Hats off to the owner/chef!!!!!! The hostess was somewhat rude actually but overall the lovely Italian waiters, fine food & company drowned out her unusual sense of humour :)

Interesting but delicious set menu. I came here for dinner with my boyfriend for a delayed Valentine's Day meal and we really loved it. We ordered the 5 course set menu which is a secret menu that the chef prepares on the night. Somehow we ended up with 7 courses plus dessert and bread, so it was very good value but we were both completely stuffed by the time the unexpected 6th and 7th courses came out. We both absolutely loved the two pasta dishes (gnocchi ragu and pumpkin tortellini), the two fish courses and the baby goat course. My only fault was that I had asked for no seafood apart from fish, so while my boyfriend got some garlic prawns, I was given a plate of plain asparagus with a tiny side salad, which I thought was unfair, and not a dish that should be served in a fine dining restaurant such as this. But the service was amazing, and the gnocchi ragu was one of the best dishes I've ever had. My boyfriend loved every single course he had. We would definitely like to return here!

Beautiful evening out. Friends of ours spoilt us by taking us to Perugino for a five course dinner.
The restaurant and decor is beautiful.
The waiters were very attentive, but not too overbearing.
We enjoyed 5 different courses chosen by the chef and they were all delicious. The servings were not huge, but just the right size to ensure we could make it through all courses.
Our favourite was the first course. Very simple Puff pastry with cheese and truffle cream sauce - absolutely delicious.
We then had a choice from the dessert trolley. The creme caramel and the poached pears were outstanding.
Overall 9.5 out of 10.

Fantastico!. Came here with people from work. Very welcoming. Chef suggested a tasting plate of several entrees which proved to be outstanding. My main, Filetto In Crosta, which is Eye fillet of beef, double crumbed, pan fried medium rare, and served with porcini mushrooms was delicious.

This place is pretty special. You know you are going somewhere fancy when you have four different types of glasses in front of you and seven different types of cutlery! Had a seven course degustation and each course was tasty and fresh. Highlight of the night was the gnocchi with mushrooms that just burst with flavour and the gnocchi was so smooth it melted in your mouth. The main dish of beef was well cooked but perhaps lacked wow factor. The semifreddo dessert served with fresh mango coulis, semifreddo and vanilla cream was amazing. I was so full by this point, but just had to finish this dessert! Overall definitely an amazing fine dining experience.

Their food is exquisite, every single meal every single visit they have impressed with such well prepared and delicate meals. As the place is family owned and ran the extra care and effort put into each dish is apparent. Cheese, black truffle puff pastry, pretty much all pastas, duck and twice crumbed beef are beautiful. No matter how full we are at the end of the meal we can't seem to say no to the dessert cart. Pecan pie is great! Love this place, always a safe choice for a lovely meal.

Fantastic evening. We had a great meal last night. Great food, great wine and great company. So happy with the free appetizer - some sort of lamb parcel (not sure what it would be called) - very tasty and I LOVE free food! The delicous bread was also complementary - I had to control myself to not scoff the lot! We both started with pasta dishes. Mine was crayfish ravioli with a prawn and tomato sauce- delicious. OH had Paffutelli Al Salmone - Half moon shaped pasta filled with a mixture of prawns, scallops and Dhufish, served in a smoked salmon and cream sauce. Very good. For main I chose a special - crumbed lamb rack with a fig?? (too much wine). This was tasty but was missing (here I'm channeling MKR) a sauce! The crumbs wer nicely flavoured but a bit too oily for me. The lanb was beautifully cooked. OH had Quaglie Al Crostone - Partially de boned marinated quails, charcoal grilled then pan-fried with a reduction sauce and served on croutons. Really lovely, tender quail and an amazing sauce. We were a little disappointed buy the side serve of veges - $7.50 each for a few small morsels. The service was professional (so rare in Perth) and the wine list is amazing. We were too full for dessert. We are keen to go back and will do so soon. Fine dining done well is just so delicious we've decided to dine this way every week... or two... not cheap... but a fantastic dinner!

Take me back please. Don't you love it when your served by the same waiter and same owner as you did 5 years ago.

This is a favourite restaurant of mine and even when I experience dining here I can't find a fault in food and/or service.

It's such a warm feeling dining here and the waiters make you feel comfortable in the way you want to dine and/or how you want to dine with that person you've brought.

The food is authentic and ladies...there is a desert trolley.

I can't fault this restaurant but to only recommend :-D

I've had this dish twice and its absolutely devine, the beef melts in your mouth - Filetto All'Aceto Balsamico (For two People) @ $ 75.00. "The chateaubriand cut of baby beef fillet charcoal grilled medium rare and flamed with aged balsamic vinegar and extra virgin olive oil".

Flawless except ............. Last night I was treated to dinner at Perugino. My last time there was many years ago, when I found it superb.
The only glitch, was when the owner 'refused' to allow me to order risotto as an entree/main. I'm not a huge eater and I do take exception to being told what I am going to eat when I am the patron. There was no budging her. Then later she came back to labour the point, explaining that you could never have it after an entree as it would upset your stomach. Well as I was, 'forced' to have the risotto as an entree, I really did not enjoy my main as I was so full and bloated. Not to mention I think the owners refusal may have turned my stomach somewhat.
Having said that, last night was not too different, from my previous visit. Italian is not my first choice. However the meals were excellent. Original, fresh, a true balance of flavours with a simple presentation. The Risotto was the best I have had. The service staff were totally professional, the best I have seen in Perth, efficient, knowledgeable and friendly without being obtrusive.
Food and service, top marks !

Best Italian In Perth?. Excellent. In my opinion this is the best Italian restaurant in Perth. The menu is quite big and varied, covering everything from meat to fish to poultry to seafood and salads. Not to mention the pasta, some of the best in this city. The gnocchi is close to the best I have had in my life, perfectly cooked and with an ideal consistency. Meats are all juicy and tender, with generous portions.

Well deserving of their many chef hats.

It has an authentic Italian feel from the moment you step into the venue, terracotta tiles and European inspired artwork cover the walls. When you walk through the entrance the first thing you notice is the bar with a small sitting area, small groups of chairs in which you're invited to have a drink before your meal. It's one of my favourite things about coming here because you feel completely relaxed, like they are in no hurry to get you out of there.

What an amazing authentic Italian restaurant. The food is fantastic, and you can tell they take pride in their creations with meats cooked moist and tender, flavours perfectly matched and plentiful daily specials dreamt up by the Italian head chef and executed to leave you with a smile. To end a great meal you should also definitely finish off with choices from the daily dessert trolley. Service is so friendly and the family owned business makes all their customers, especially the regulars, feel very welcome.

Very nice dinner here, food was delicious and the service was great! The wine list seemed to go on forever, and large selection of beers from around the world too, so something for everyone. Not cheap but well worth it!

The warm charm of this beautiful restaurant was delightful. Family owned and operated you could feel the love and passion that goes into the dinners experience and the food! The food was absolutely delicious. The service was outstanding; I adored that the chef came out to greet his diners- a true personal surprise you really don't get from restaurants these days. The time the waiter took to explain the menu and create a friendly atmosphere really made us feel like we were part of family visiting for dinner. Highly recommended!
