Nolita

Nolita doesn’t skimp on attention to detail. It’s an Italian restaurant in Perth that gives thought to every aspect of the restaurant experience and, well, let’s just say that you can tell. You can find this contemporary Italian in Claremont at the premier location of Bay View Terrace where fresh produce, friendly service and a buzzing atmosphere await. The menu is full of refined classics done absolutely right and the wine list is long. And on Mondays and Tuesdays guests can bring their own wine if they so please, and there isn’t even any corkage charge. You won’t regret a trip to Nolita.

Perth certainly isn’t short of Italian restaurants, but once you’ve experienced Nolita in Claremont, most of them will quickly seem inferior. Yes, the reputation of Nolita among Perth foodies is nothing short of excellent, and not just because of the refined Italian cuisine that’s on offer. Located on the stunning Bay View Terrace – not far from Claremont train station – this elegantly designed restaurant is a luxurious place to sit amongst exclusively designed fixtures and fittings, as well as sound and lighting technology systems that make the atmosphere just perfect. At Nolita, you will always feel welcome.

Obviously, however, the food is the most important part of any restaurant, and the Italian dishes served by the expert chefs at Nolita make use of some of the freshest produce available in Perth. Unlike Italian restaurants of lesser quality, the a la carte here is not overcrowded or overwhelming. The approach is very much quality over quantity. Start with a cold plate of crudo or carpaccio, or a hot plate of chorizo or calamari. The pappardelle pasta is a great choice for your main, prepared with braised veal, mushrooms, vermouth, star anise and grana padano. That, or the risotto with scallops and saffron. There are also prime meats and fish from the grill, all prepared with gourmet ingredients to offer tastes and combinations that you won’t forget in a hurry. If you want some of the best Italian food in Perth and Claremont, look no further than Nolita.
