Perth is home to more restaurants per capita than any other Australian city. Safe to say, it’s a capital known for its cuisine– and things only get better when it comes to pasta in Perth.

Warm, satisfying, and endlessly flavourful, pasta is a beloved favourite for many. The question is: Where can you find the best pasta in Perth? 

Pasta Popularity


One bite of pan-seared gnocchi. Or perhaps one mouthful of creamy carbonara – or maybe just a nibble of cacio e pepe? That’s all it will take to understand exactly why pasta is so popular.

There’s the huge diversity of pasta types, and the world of flavour combinations and textures that you can find in each dish. Not the mention, the soul-satisfying feeling of filling up on a bowl of pasta that’s as comforting as a rainy day spent on the couch with your favourite movie.

An authentic pasta dish is a staple on any menu in Perth, be it casual or fine dining. You could feel right at home eating pasta in a five-star restaurant as you could eating in a corner deli. 

Types Of Pasta


There are, quite literally, dozens of pasta types.

Macaroni, spaghetti, lasagna, cannelloni, ravioli, penne, and farfalle are just some of the well-known types of pasta. But did you know about rotelle, ditalini, concioni, corzetti, ziti, bigoli, or barbine? While many sit on the same flavour scale, there’s certainly types for various dishes based on how well they soak up sauce, whether they can absorb other ingredients, and simply, how they look on a plate. 

Dried. Fried. Fresh. Stuffed. Baked. There are almost as many ways to prepare pasta as there are pasta types, and infinite possibilities when it comes to tasty sauces and unique additions to pasta dishes.

It’s hard to imagine a food more versatile than pasta, or perhaps one so beloved. 

Modo Mio Pasta, Dios Mio

Royally Good Pasta at Crown 


Modo Mio is a fantastic, authentic Italian restaurant – but it's certainly not the only Crown eatery serving exceptional pasta dishes.

Crown’s Atrium Buffet is a deluxe meal choice, known for its extensive selection of global cuisines. You will find it in the Crown Metropol lobby, where bookings are essential and a ravenous appetite is highly recommended.

Follow your nose to the creamy wild mushroom pasta, or pile your plate with the pumpkin and sage risotto. You truly can’t go wrong.
