il Ciao Applecross

"I would recommend going to this restaurant. Excellent service, gourmet, and fresh food. And more importantly, friendly staff. I think this restaurant has run smoothly from my experience. I applaud for the success that the Perruzza Family has done to run this restaurant as a family, terrific effort!! Hence, I definitely would recommend dining in this restaurant for future occasions."

"Arrived at 6pm on a Saturday evening and there was a 40 minutes wait for a table for 6. No issues on the waiting time as it’s expected of on a weekend. Had a Tasting Platter, Penne Al Vodka and a Capricciosa (to share). The Tasting Platter was served shortly after ordering and it was delightful. The Penne Al Vodka however, was somewhat of a letdown. The taste was good granted, but the penne was slightly overcooked. My sister’s Ravioli was also overcooked, but as we had a long day at Rottnest we were famished. Heard great things of Il Ciao prior to my visit, but overcooked pasted can hardly be tolerated, especially in an Italian restaurant."

"From NZ and some friends took us to this fantastic restaurant. What can I say - amazing food and service. Gets busy and you know why! A total top spot to have brilliant Italian food (wow amazing portions guys) and all at great value pricing. We’ll be back. Big thanks."

"While dining at il ciao i had taken the time to ask myself what does it mean, "il ciao" in its most direct translations means "the hello" and at first i didnt understand. However diving a little deeper it only took a small amount of time to learn that il ciao is not only a restaurant for delicious and authentic meals. But a home for those in need of welcoming. From the moment you arrive you can see the connections built between the customers and the hard working staff. Everyones important. When talking to what i believe to be the owner he said "people come here because they know they'll have someone to listen. Someone to talk to and someone to feed them" and with this food for thought, i realised to myself perhaps every meal could be a home cooked meal when you feel as welcome as when you enter il ciao. Thanks for the experience more so thanks for "the hello.""
