Mamma Mia Trattoria — Restaurant in Western Australia

If there was capacity for 6 stars this establishment should get them. Service exemplary. From the moment we peered in the window when a staff member gestured to us to come in, right through to paying the bill, which, by the way, was a pleasant surprise, we were made to feel special. It was father's day and there was a rush from the moment of opening. However, the staff took everything in their stride and delivered the most scrumptious prawn and scallop fettucine for moi and gnocchi pescatore for mama. We also had the arancini balls to share for an entree. They were crisp on the outside and absolutely divine on the inside. We also took home a dessert each as we were very satisfied with the portions we enjoyed. All of this pretty much within an hour, but at no time did we feel rushed. Perfect. Thanks, you made my fathers day when, alas, I was away from my kids...

The carbonara & caesar salad were enjoyed by others. But the GNOCCHI, order the gnocchi....

What has happened!!! Barely pub-food!! This restaurant used to be one of the best in Kalgoorlie but has obviously changed hands. I witnessed at least 6 plates go back in the kitchen just as full as they came out!! Unfortunately it’s no where near Italian food let alone Italian pizza. Porterhouse Steak dish was cooked as asked but extremely tough and obviously a poor quality cut. The elderly female waitress has absolutely no idea about smiling or greeting customers. Advice for owner: Get a quality chef in the kitchen who actually knows how to prepare and cook Italian food and at the very least get your...
