Book NowAbout Maruzzella Restaurant
Maruzzella serves uncompromising Napoli soul in East Perth, pairing wood-fired pies with rich handmade pastas straight from the oven. Forget stiff dining rooms. Bennett Street locals pack the tables for crisp mushroom arancini, rich chilli mussels, and layered pork and beef lasagna. You can watch the dough bubble and crisp in the open dining room oven—puffy cornicione included—while the kitchen quietly accommodates dietary restrictions with rare cross-contamination diligence across both pizza and pasta. The room runs loud, chaotic, and genuine, finished off with a folded calzone or blistered Diavola.
- Wood-Fired Neapolitan Pies: Pizzas bake in view of the dining room with charred, puffy crusts alongside dedicated gluten-free options.
- Classic Italian Comforts: Generous plates include layered beef and pork lasagna, crisp mushroom arancini, and fiery chilli mussels.
- Warm Neighbourhood Energy: A lively, unpretentious dining room suited for family dinners and group celebrations off Bennett Street.
