Top Best Italian Restaurants in Cairns

"If you ever need to convince someone why Perth is great (or uh, OK!), just take them to il Lido. Beachside relaxation (and views), with an uncompromising approach to quality has made it a stalwart for Perth foodies – even though its touristy location means it could get away with being a lot worse. Each pasta dish is a loving ode to its produce, whether it’s spaghetti with nduja, white anchovy, mascarpone and lemons, crowd-pleasing blue swimmer crab linguine, or cavatelli with broccoli and sausage."

"The first destination is an unassuming family-run café serving authentic and homely Italian dishes. The owners are particularly proud of their ragù, a traditional meat sauce, served with hand made pasta. Ask for their farmers soup too - a tasty, hearty dish that’s perfect for lunch."

"Several Italian places to eat in Fremantle were established decades ago by migrating families. One long standing venue, opened by an Italian family in the 1970s, is Pizza Bella Roma on High Street, just off the strip.

If you come for lunch, you can expect fish and chips and seafood platters, all paired well with local wine and craft beers."

"Add in a dash of Middle Eastern influences and a partnership with burger hotshots Juicy Buns, and you’re onto a winner. Even better than all these great elements though, is the community-building and philanthropic approach they’ve fostered since day one. 19 Tribute Street West, Shelley"

"Bibra Lake Lunch Bar is the pride and joy of the south – serving up incredible Vietnamese style dishes that are so cheap it’s criminal. Quite possibly the best banh mi in Perth, but we’ll let you be the judge…. 1/40 Port Pirie St, Bibra Lake"

"Serpentine Falls makes for a beautiful swimming spot just under an hours’ drive south of Perth. The falls are only a short walk from the car park in Serpentine National Park. You can often see Western Grey Kangaroos in the picnic area and stunning wildflowers during spring."

"The most popular of Fremantle's public sculptures is Greg James's statue of Bon Scott (1946–80), strutting on a Marshall amplifier in Fishing Boat Harbour. The AC/DC singer moved to Fremantle with his family in..."
