Ciao Italia is well known as the one of the best Italian restaurant in Perth, WA. The place is very popular and do not accept bookings, so be prepared for a long queue. If you don’t like to queue, just do takeaway like what I did. Their ‘Fettuccine Ciao Italia’ is a must try … very tasty and didn’t fail me at all. Their Tiramisu is one of the best I have tried so far, so don’t forget to include a Tiramisu in your order. Highly recommended especially if you have not tried Ciao Italia before.

Tiramisu (My apology as this picture does not do justice for the Tiramisu at all. I tried to transfer from the takeaway box to the plate but unfortunately mashed up the Tiramisu instead. The taste is all that matters anyways!)

Surprises, surprises … on Phillip Island.

One of the best Italian food I have ever tasted. Particularly the pasta … perfectly ‘al dente’, fresh, flavoursome sauce and generous ingredients. I’ll die a happy man after this meal.

The queue might be long, but it is well worth the wait.
