Olive And Oscars — Restaurant in Western Australia

Husband and I came here for the first time tonight (24/05/22) and we were pleasantly surprised! We started with the meatballs and garlic bread and it was AMAZING. My husband has a lot of Italian family and he said the meatballs tasted like "real Italian meatballs". I was definitely surprised by them aswell, the flavour and the sauce was so good. For our mains I had the vodka pasta and husband had the the pasta that was infused with chilli sauce (forgot the name). I was surprised when I saw they do large and small portions, and that you could choose what type of pasta came with your sauce. When the pasta came, the portions were huge! And I could instantly tell that the pasta was going to taste amazing. Instead it was mind blowing! It was definitely the BEST vodka pasta I have ever eaten. Husband of course loved his pasta aswell. Because the portions were so big, we had to take half of it for takeaway, which is awesome. The staff were absolutely lovely aswell and so friendly. The atmosphere and vibe of the restaurant is quaint and feels like a real Italian restaurant. We will...

Not wanting to spend a fortune on dining on Tuesday night, we came here after seeing how highly rated this place is. Unfortunately, I was greatly disappointed. Arancini balls were nice, but not nice enough to justify the $18 for it, for 3 balls. My partner had the parmi special, which was quite good, but way overpriced for $33! The BIG DISAPPOINTMENT WAS THE LASAGNE. Precooked, reheated and overcooked. It was cold in the middle and had a sprinkle of mozarella bits on top and where was the bechamel?? It had maybe 2 tablespoons of bechamel in the whole piece. The sour tomato sauce needed the sweetness of the creamy bechamel. That's what lasagne is! It was not enjoyable at all and I couldn't finish it. The ambience is more like a diner and the taste is also more like a chain restaurant. This is not good Italian food. If you like overpriced, overrated Australian-Italian food at diner style tables then this is the place for you. We ended up paying almost $90 for 1 starter, 2 mains, no...

Lovely byo neighbourhood pasta and parmy restaurant with friendly, accommodating staff. Great value meals and love that there is an option to have a small or large pasta. Everyone loved their meals but I would choose something other than the creamy pumpkin next time. There was lots of bacon and cream and the leek flavour was strong. , it didn't look or taste like the bacon had been sauteed off. All of the sauce ingredients had been diced very small so weren't very discernible as an individual taste. I had been expecting lto see large cubes of roast pumpkin and lots of spinach stirred through. It was tasty though. It was only Thursday night but the place was full and there was a nice buzz of people gathering and...
