We have been going to Valdarno sporadically for years, and only because it’s been close to home. It has its ups and downs. Last week we had a main of rankin cod fish that looked great but was dry. $36 for overcooked fish. The pasta was absolutely delicious. Having spent a lot of time in Italy, including top restaurants, I’m disappointed at Valdarno’s high prices for (mostly) home style cooking and basic decor.
A wonderful place authentic Italian food too!
Friendly atmosphere wonderful service great experience.
Definitely recommend this place
Eating for all ages and very generous with the servings
Well done Valdarno
We’ll be back.
Grazie
My "local" italian restaurant. What I love about the restaurant is the family friendly atmosphere and personable caring staff who make the time to get to know their guests. Their food is simply home cooked italian style and it presents as consistently being made with love and tradition. Every time I go there my family are made to feel a part of their family and that vibe is very special and authentic.
Love this place!!
Authentic, generous servings!
The pastas are amazing 🍝 💚
Cosy family restaurant and it's BYO ☺️
Friendly and welcoming staff.
A very Italian Italian restaurant. Real Italian bread rolls on the tables which have linen tablecloths on them. Lovely service - a bit pricey but the pasta we chose was home made and tasty. Looking forward to when we next eat here.
A family favorite for many years and our local. Gorgeous home cooked style Italian food, with ever changing daily specials for mains and pasta, wholesome food, not too creamy, oily or mass produced, has been made with love and it shows! Lovely staff, always polite warm and accommodating.
This restaurant has a lovely cosy feel and a welcoming, authentic atmosphere. It is so lovely to have an open fire in the winter! The meals are well priced and good value.
Came here for a private lunch time function. It was a set menu with the food being good honest Italian food. Not the best I've had but far from the worst. Atmosphere was ordinary and typical but the food & service made up for what lacked in atmosphere.
Stuffed gnocchi. Gnocchi stuffed with mushrooms with cherry tomatoes red wine sauce is the winning dish. However it is slightly pricey for a vegetarian dish. It costs 36 per portion. Service was friendly.
Best Italian I have been to in Australia. Brilliant service friendly staff and one of the cheapest eats in town. If you are after real Italian food not the usual slop you get else where I would give it a go. There is a bottle shop next door and BYO had no corkage. The bread was excellent and free when I asked the waiter he explained that the chef bakes fresh every day. Can't recommend this place enough. It's tucked away but well worth finding.
Beautiful Place to Dine. My family and I love to go out to Valdarnos for dinner occasionally, and it never fails to impress. Each time I have the chicken cottoletta which is delicious and always take home the leftovers due to large meal sizes. The meals are really worth what you pay! Not too expensive, and the staff are so friendly and lovely. Definitely recommend!!
Good Italian foods. Food was delicous and reasonable price and pleasant staff..especial ( Mrs.margarita) . dessert was good Italian cake. we will back again and again.
A suburban gem. Went on a Tuesday night. Service good and friendly. Pescatore dishes, spaghetti, linguine and risotto ample and tasty. BYO with new wine glasses supplied for each different bottle. Sat on veranda, no intrusive 'music'. Had a great 3 hours where we were able to hear each other with ease.
Could well become my favourite meeting-eating place.
Simple the best so far in Perth
Thank you Enzo

Solid Italian-well worth it. I've been to Valdarno's 3 times. Once with a large group that included a few kids. Twice with my wife. It's undoubtedly the best Italian experience we've had in Perth. We've had a variety of dishes and we tend to share so we've been able to experience a lot of the menu.
The pasta is fresh and has been cooked perfectly every time. We've had gnocchi and ravioli, both solid and even with sharing dishes the portions are large enough to provide a lunch left-over.
The sauces are nice. You can taste the complexity of flavours and spices they use, it's not just crap tomato sauce dumped on your plate, clearly some thought and trial and error was put into perfecting them.
Sadly it's been about a month since we last went, so the details of the meals aren't on the tip of my tongue, but I've been meaning to write this review for a while and since I tend to get more fired up on negative reviews, I thought it would be good to share some love for one of the hot spots worth visiting.
The BYO next door is convenient and the prices are well worth the quality and portions. We'll be back.
Favourite spot. This is my favourite restaurant in Perth, have been over 10 times and usually try and go every other month.
Why?
Simply put the food is great, the wait staff are pleasant enough and the owners are warm and welcoming.
Best Seafood Marinara I've had ANYWHERE.
Also BYO Beer and Wine; with bottle shop located nextdoor makes for a perfect night out.
Friendly staff and great Italian foods! Will be back soon !
Worst service ever. Arrived and gave the manager out reservation details, didn't get taken to our table she just pointed at it and told us to sit an a table that hadnt been set. Waiter took about 20 minutes to clear our plates away when the place was half full and "didn't know what the fish was because the box didn't have a name on it" great.
All bad things aside, the food was very good and the portions were huge! Great value for money and the gnocchi was amazing! Just need to work on the service, a lot.
Very nice pastas, good flavours not overbearing. Tasty dinner rolls.
Authentic, simple, healthy and tasty with friendly service. We saw huge desserts going to other tables and thought we'd order some to go. But ours were dismally small! A disappointing end to an otherwise excellent meal. Service was very good.
Refreshing. A rare breed, well priced, good food, pleasant service, this place shames many more expensive flasher restaurants. It's quiet and small but if your after a good well cooked no fuss meal this is the spot, plus a bottle shop next door and no corkage ! The managers should be on the WA tourism commission board, they have the right attitude.
Valdarno's demonstrates that you can do good food at reasonable prices. Never disappointing. Ate there Saturday night in a largish group - food was good, service friendly and efficient and prices very reasonable. Just a warning - the place empties at about 10 so don't expect a late night, altho the staff are happy for you to stay longer
Nice restaurant, relaxed and very friendly staff, the food is fresh & reasonably priced. Could have had a few more veggies with my Fillet Steak, but that's a minor gripe. Overall a good experince
Entree bruschetta was superb, a great difference from the usual diced tomato and onion. Mains took a while to come out for some reason, however staff kept us appraised of, and apologised for, the delay and the meals were worth the wait.
Nonnas kitchen. Good old Valdarno's. Homemade, fresh, delicious Italian food with generous servings....it's also in a quiet neighboured, BYO and next to a bottleshop. What more could you want?
Had some awful fish n chips here about 2 weeks ago. The salad looked older than any I've ever seen. However the service is usually good as us pizza in house
They do takeaway, too. Fantastic food and huge servings. I only wish we had bought some of their delicious cakes to take home as well. The complimentary dinner rolls were a nice touch, too.
Too good to be true. Where can you go to enjoy good Italian food, home cooked style, decent prices, friendly staff and easy to get to? Trattoria Valdarno is the sort of place you can return to regularly because it's like eating at home. Non pretentious, comfortable and great food. Try the spagbol for an example of simple but awesome. Yet another well kept secret nested in the heart of Nedlands / Dalkeith.
Leave the decor alone. If they fix the decor it will be too good to be true. The food is authentic and always reliable. The staff are polite and it is easy with kids. If they fancy it up, we won't be able to afford to take the kids along.
Just Like Romaaa!!. Didn't realise we could eat good Italian after eating in Italy, but here is Valdarnos with some tasty, homemade and fresh food consistently. My favourite is the Chilli Mussels (ask for the Italian Style!), Liguine and Prawns and of course, finished off with homemade lemon meringue. Great staff and service and best of all great food, which is such a rarity in Perth.
Truly the benchmark.. How do I describe Valdarno? It is my favorite restaurant in Perth.
I along with with many of my friends have been going to Valdarno for years and the food has always been fabulous. The staff are an absolute delight, they know the menu and how to look after their customers. The place is probably one of the best kept secrets in Perth and as far as I'm concerned is a benchmark by which all others should be judged.
Dining at the other so called 'elite' restaurants in Perth makes for a huge wake up call when compared to Valdarno, in service, food quality and price. Entrees, mains and deserts are to die for and the only problem any of us ever have when we go there is what not to eat!
A favourite. Authentic family owned and run restaurant. The food is consistently good and staff are knowledgeable and friendly. you need to book as it is busy every night of the week. The seafood lasagne (special) is heavenly.
Dalkieth's best kept secret. Ugly as all hell, but fabulous food and service. Byo too! You needtonbook as there's never a free table.
Thank you so much for the most delicious grilled calamari we have had in a long long time...and....it was takeaway!!! Cheers to your wonderful Chef and your great staff 👍👏👏👏🤗🤗♥️♥️
We had our parents 50th anniversary here and had about 45 people and wow everyone left full and really impressed with the amount of food and the quality was fantastic.
This place is absolutely awesome and the owners are amazing and made everyone feel very welcome and nothing was to hard. We'll definitely be going back.
Great little suburban restaurant, friendly staff and good food.
Great place outstanding service very friendly staff will recommend to everyone to go there
Dropped in forty minutes before closing and the chef stayed late to cook us two delicious meals. The staff were lovely and accommodating. Thank you so much for being good to us!
