About Tiamo Cafe

A leafy Hampden Road fixture, Tiamo Cafe nails unhurried Italian dining with generous bowls of pasta and classic primi. Generations of UWA alumni treat this dining room as an institution, gathering for long lunches over seafood marinara and plates of house gnocchi. When the rest of the strip winds down around two in the afternoon, doors remain open for a late espresso and house-made tiramisu. Settle into an outdoor table with a pour from the cellar—marked up fairly against retail—and let the afternoon roll past over garlic prawns and crisp focaccia.

  • Open Through the Afternoon: A dependable spot for espresso, tiramisu, and late lunch when nearby strip cafes shut between service hours.
  • Classic Primi & Seafood: Guests return for hearty seafood marinara, linguine crab, and tender gnocchi coated in rich sauces.
  • Fair Wine Pricing: Bottles arrive with modest markups compared to retail shelves, keeping long lunches relaxed.
  • Dedicated Rear Parking: Dedicated on-site parking directly behind the restaurant removes the hassle of Hampden Road street parking.
