Our Story

The Lulu La Delizia Story

Inspired by family and traditions

The dining room at Lulu La Delizia

Named for Nonna Luigia

Lulu La Delizia was named in honour of our beloved Nonna Luigia, who emigrated from Casarsa della Delizia in Italy's North in 1952, bringing with her the culinary traditions that inspire everything we create today. Proudly family-owned and operated, Lulu La Delizia continues that legacy; a celebration of family, food, and connection shared with every guest who walks through our doors.

Since opening in 2016 in the heart of Subiaco, we have become known as one of the best Italian restaurants in Perth, serving heartfelt cooking, handmade pasta, and good wine with the warmth of true Italian hospitality. In 2025, we expanded our story with the opening of Cantina di Lulu La Delizia; a lively, relaxed space for walk-ins, aperitivi, and wine lovers looking to soak up the Lulu spirit in a more casual way.

Lulu's in Subiaco, Perth, is the perfect Italian restaurant for any occasion; whether you are celebrating a birthday dinner, enjoying a romantic date night, or hosting your next special function.

Old Soul, New Spirit

Lulu La Delizia has always juxtaposed the old-world and new. Behind our lace-curtained windows and dark wood hues, you might expect an old-school trattoria; but step inside and you will find something altogether different. Lulu La Delizia is Perth's very own temple to handmade pasta, wine, and good times.

Step into a raucous and high energy space with all the theatre of our open kitchen where our team of passionate chefs ply their craft. The confident, vibrant and knowledgeable service, the upbeat music and atmosphere all a nod to the lively and convivial spirit of the people of Friuli and North-East of Italy.

Lulu's is a proud leader in the new wave of Italo-Australian dining, blending deep tradition with fearless creativity.

Our Pasta, Our Passion

At Lulu La Delizia, pasta is our religion and our craft. Each piece is lovingly rolled, cut, and shaped by hand; the result of hours of dedication from our talented team of chefs. While others chase the sauce, we bring the focus back to the pasta itself; texture, flavour, and feel. Hours of time is spent crafting and perfecting the pasta for every bowl that we serve. Not only do we want you to taste our delicious flavours, but we want you to be able to feel our love and dedication. It is this passion and commitment that makes Lulu La Delizia the best pasta in Perth.

To accompany our beautiful array of pasta dishes, we also offer a selection of beautiful Northern Italian inspired 'delights', delicious tastes to excite your senses.

For those who want the full Lulu La Delizia experience, we offer our Signature Chef's Banquet as the perfect way to relax and allow us to host your special evening.

"The pasta at Lulu La Delizia hits different. Whether you are marvelling at the bite of the gramigna, admiring the ornate corzetti or surrendering to the pleasures of a gutsy boar and smoked pancetta ragu, this new-wave osteria in Perth's inner west redefines the possibilities of flour power."

– Gourmet Traveller, October 2021

"Five years into his reign at Lulu La Delizia, Joel Valvasori has created the kind of restaurant that diners speak about in hushed tones. The reason? This is a place that puts joy right at the top of the priorities list."

– The West Australian Good Food Guide, 2021

"The ristorante you didn't know you needed in your life is better than you ever could have imagined. Bold on flavour, as generous as a nonna, and as sexy as an Italian lover."
