The Bolognese Pasta was absolutely delicious! The rich, savory sauce perfectly complemented the tender pasta. Full of flavor, every bite was a delight. Highly recommend for pasta lovers! Five stars!

Seriously delicious late night food. I ordered the Meat Monster Pizza and it had the most yummy meatballs on it ever. Whatever that drizzle sauce was on my pizza was absolutely delicious, it was reminiscent of a salsa verde, really nice touch. My partner ordered the chicken parmi with fries and tenders on the side. Affordable and well cooked. Thank youuuu!!!

I recently visited the restaurant, and I have to say, their tandoori pasta was absolutely incredible! The fusion of bold, smoky tandoori flavors with the creamy, rich pasta was a unique and delicious twist on two classic dishes. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente, and the tandoori spices added the right amount of heat and depth without overpowering the dish. The presentation was also top-notch, and the service was friendly and attentive. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to try something new and exciting. I'll definitely be coming back!

It's a small restaurant mostly busy for takeaway and situated at North Perth opposite to BP fuel station.
I was very disappointed by the way they looked at us as we approached towards the table and chair for dine in. No one greeted us or bothered to hand over the menu. Both the tables and chairs were found to be dusty and flooded by food crumbs.

The food was served very quickly and to be honest the food didn't impress me as much as I have heard from social media and other food bloggers. It was an average quality and taste.

Price: Fair
Taste: Average (6.5/10)
Location: Good with plenty of parking.

Please note the restaurant lacks restroom or toilet, no music in the background and staffs are not professional.

Ordered for delivery. Never received my pizza (the main thing I ordered). Rang restaurant, they were so rude & unhelpful, refused to deliver my pizza & told me to order a new one. Disgraceful customer service. The food I did receive was cold and unpleasant. Would 100% not recommend this place. Avoid

Many times over the years I have ordered food from Mondo Fresco and been very pleased with it's quality, creamy sauces, al dente pasta and all rich with flavour and oozing with quality you wouldn't expect from a place like this. From time to time there has been somewhat of a drop in quality... but not like tonight.

Tonight, my partner and I ordered 3 dishes... and all of them were a complete and total letdown.

I ordered beef ravioli with a carbonara sauce. The pasta was undercooked and BLAND. There was virtually no flavour to the filling and it tasted like cheap supermarket ravioli, with the filling having that classic powdery feel of such floor sweepings like what they use in cheapest of the cheap. The sauce was watery and again... bland. There was no taste of any cheese whatsoever in it and I doubt there was any egg either with a consistency like that. The bacon in the sauce was again flavourless and had a dry crumbly consistency much reminiscent of frozen bacon bits or something like that.

My partner ordered penne pasta with a garlic prawn sauce.... I don't think that sauce was even in the same room as a clove of garlic, let alone containing any. The sauce basically tasted like flour, water and milk. The website describes the sauce as "Pan fried prawns with olive oil, crushed garlic white wine in a cream base".... I believe the last two words of that description and that's about it. Those prawns had NEVER seen the likes of a fry pan, and as I've already said there was zero taste of garlic. White Wine....? you must be joking.

The third dish was a simple loaf of garlic bread and yet again... I struggled to find any sign of garlic bread anywhere, the uniformity, blandness and mushiness of the garlic bread makes me strongly suspect it came out of a bag, not the hands of a chef or even a short order cook.

And to top it all off (or not)... they now want $2.50 for a 30ml tub of parmesan cheese.... I did the math, that works out to about $100/kg of parmesan.... I SEVERELY doubt they're using cheese anywhere near that quality.

I've seen mention in other reviews on here that the ownership changed recently, if that is true it's definitely a change for the worse and the new owners need to stop cutting corners before they find their budget cut from under them due to a lack of customers.

Edit: and still no response from the owner. Poor service indeed.
