About La Fattoria Perth Hills

Just forty minutes from the city, this Pickering Brook orchard haven serves unhurried Italian hospitality where tables are kept for the entire afternoon. Regulars settle in overlooking the vines for Lucy and Eric's multi-course Nonna’s Family Table, paced with estate wine tastings and stories behind each seasonal recipe. Others build custom antipasto boards with house-baked arancini, sfincione, and local cheeses before wandering down the vineyard rows. The afternoon drifts by without turn times, wrapping up over lemon olive oil cake as the resident winery dog weaves through the tables.

  • Single-Seating Long Lunch: Guests reserve tables exclusively for the whole afternoon without turn times or pressure to move on.
  • Nonna's Family Table Stories: Owners Lucy and Eric introduce each seasonal dish and estate wine pairing with personal family stories.
  • Plated-to-Order Antipasto: Diners select individual cured meats, cheeses, and hot bites like arancini and sfincione directly from the menu.

  • Story-Driven Nonna's Family Table Dining

    Guests enjoy multi-course seasonal dining paired with personal tableside storytelling from owners Eric and Lucy, recounting farm traditions and dish origins.

    I also appreciated that they spent time to introduce the stories of the dishes and background of this restaurant to us.

  • Curated Made-to-Order Platter Boards

    Rather than assembling pre-packaged items from a self-serve cellar fridge, guests curate custom tasting platters ordered directly from the menu and plated fresh.

    We had a delicious platter that we selected from the menu (not from a fridge that you have to choose individual items and make the platter yourself, that a lot of wineries are doing).

  • Flexible Pacing and Continuous Ordering

    With unhurried pacing and the freedom to order additional plates as desired, guests can linger over drinks and authentic fare at their own pace.

    We had an amazing and relaxing time catching up, with no rush in the world, and we were free to keep ordering as much as we would like.

Before you head over

Planning advice on dining formats, table bookings, and timing for your visit

  • Book Ahead for Nonna's Family Table

    Reserve Nonna’s Family Table well in advance; walk-in or impromptu dining typically defaults to the a la carte tasting platter format.

  • Plan for an Unhurried Afternoon

    The restaurant operates on an unhurried, single-seating basis where tables are not turned, making it ideal to plan for an extended three-hour lunch.

  • Order Custom Platters from the Menu

    If choosing the platter option rather than the set menu, design your board directly from the menu featuring house meatballs, arancini, and cheeses.
