Perth pasta purists post up on the sunny terrace at No Mafia for handmade plates and effortless Italian flair. William Street regulars make a beeline for the mains—the kitchen skips heavy meat courses entirely, focusing all its firepower on pasta. Order the duck pappardelle laced with truffle or the calamari tagliolini spiced with nduja. Start by swiping warm bread through creamy burrata paired with a tomato and capsicum base, alongside crisp arancini and golden potatoes with aioli. At the bar, latecomers sip a bitter Negroni over thin-sliced salumi before capping the night with a pistachio cannolo.

Freshly crafted in-house pasta dishes that define the menu
Pappardelle with Duck Ragù
The Duck Ragu was, without a doubt, one of the best dishes I’ve had in years—maybe in my entire life. The fresh pasta was perfectly al dente, the ragu was thick, rich, and beautifully balanced in flavor, with just the right hint of truffle oil and finely grated Parmesan elevating every bite.
Pedro Thebich Calamari & ’Nduja Pasta
Asked the Italian waiter his favourite dish- he got very excited about the calamari & nduja pasta so we ordered this- it was absolutely delicious.
thea woodward Beef Ragù Tagliolini
The star of the night, though, was the beef ragù tagliolini. This was the Bolognese of all Bologneses - rich, deeply savoury, and slow-cooked to perfection.
