Fantastic experience, as always. Smoky mushroom pizza, so deeply memorable 🤌🏻 And if I could eat one thing for the rest of my life it’d probably be the carta di musica 🥲

This is our favourite dinner spot! You really need to go there. The food is ALWAYS amazing and I love how they update the menu regularly with new dishes to try, but we never lose our favourites.

Another great meal at La Perla. These guys do pizza better than any I've tasted in Melbourne, their pickles are home-made and very tasty and their chicken-liver pate is exceptional. This place is an absolute neighborhood gem.

La Perla never fails to be an absolute pleasure to go for a drink and dine. Kieran looks after his patrons beautifully and his staff are excellent.
Fabulous wine list and wood fired pizzas are delicious. Thank you again for a wonderful evening sitting outside in your lovely courtyard.

Our son has bought a unit very close by and has yet to move in. Thought we would check out the local restaurant beforehand. What a pleasant surprise. A bit quiet this time of the year. Lovely service, but best of all, top class pizza. Husband and son both loved it. I had pasta, and it was delicious. We will definitely be going back, many times I expect.
