Mediterranean Restaurants in Perth

Rialto's Restaurant Subiaco Restaurateur Albasio La Pegna's vision was to bring a touch of classic European chic to Subi's sophisticated restaurant scene, creating a suitably elegant space for discerning diners to rub shoulders with the who's who of Perth. White and red flock wallpapers give the place a rather grand air, juxtaposed beautifully with piped jazz music and superb little touches such as the chandelier hanging over a zebra-striped chaise lounge, funky white leather booths and clear plastic bucket chairs along with an art deco mirror sitting adjacent to a tropical fish tank.

Of course, the dazzling decor isn't the only drawcard here. Albasio has created an exquisitely styled selection of fine Italian fare - think bresaola (air-cured beef), hazelnut-crusted lamb chops and blue manna crab angel hair pasta. For dessert, try the baby donuts with aniseed liqueur and warm chocolate sauce. The restaurant's bar boasts an inspired list of mostly original cocktails, plus a scrupulously sourced list of more than 75 Australasian, French and Italian wines (many available by the glass) and 90 liqueurs lining the wall behind the red leather-panelled bar. more
