No Mafia

I recently dined at this restaurant and had an exceptional experience. The service was impeccable, with attentive staff ensuring a delightful dining atmosphere. I must say, the food was not only delicious but also beautifully presented. Each bite was a delightful symphony of flavors. I highly recommend this establishment for anyone seeking a top-notch dining experience.
Additionally, I would like to commend the manager for their outstanding leadership. They played a pivotal role in creating a welcoming ambiance and ensuring that everything ran smoothly. The attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction truly set this establishment apart. Kudos to the entire team for making my dining experience memorable and enjoyable.

Sad to see a good restaurant fall to this.

We used to be regulars and truly enjoy food, wine and service.

On our last visit, yes not latest but last, food was very average and service was a joke.

All deep fried dishes were pale and soggy. The gnocchi was swimming in oil. To be fare the anchovies and the mortadella was very good. But I am sure it was bought from a supplier and just plated in the restaurant.

And the service - a couple of young men roaming around carrying plates. Did not even understand that the plates from the starter was to go off the table before mains arrive. We had to ask him to remove the dirty dishes.

The fact that mains did not arrive together was in the big scheme a minor issue, but still not acceptable on a table of three.

Thanks No Mafia for the good old days, but those are obviously gone, and so are we.

Staff is very warm, friendly and welcoming. Food is great and the selection of wine is good. Will be back!

Delicious food, lots of variety jut service was lacking.

Both rounds of drinks came after food had arrived as did the entree’s that arrived with mains.

Quality Italian food in Perth - has to be some of the best Italian I’ve had! The restaurant is not big and their menu is not extensive, but the dishes they do offer are done well and are delicious.

Pros
Casual dining experience in the heart of Northbridge
Quick service
Delicious meals.
For entree, we had the burrata and beetroot with bread - delicious! More than enough for 2, could be shared easily between 3-4.
For main, we had duck parpadelle - sauce was tasty and duck/pasta was soft - and gnocchi - so soft and melt in your mouth. The plate size is not large but more than enough to fill you and give you room to taste their entree and dessert. Though other pasta dishes appear to be slightly bigger, their parpadelle and gnocchi have to be the star dishes and well worth it.

Cons
They dont take bookings for 2 and this place is really popular so you may not get in during peak times. Could make date nights hard.

I will return to taste their other dishes!

Good service
Excellent food. Authentic Italian.
Amazing bread and pasta dishes - had the calamari, nduja very spicy and tasty
Chairs were quite uncomfortable was probably only downside

The quality of the food was good but I would not consider it good value for money. The menu was restrictive (5 only pasta dishes - too bad if you didn't want pasta) and the wine was very expensive - $60 to $150 a bottle. We dined with friends and spent ~$120 per head which seemed a lot for what felt like a casual Italian restaurant.

Perfectly cooked pasta and good service.

Love the out door seating overlooking the street although the high chairs are super uncomfortable, wouldn’t recommend for a long sitting or older people. It was fine for our walk in booking and a quick eat.

Food was excellent, service was excellent. Go check it out! I had the duck and it was fantastic.

Pappadelle with Braised Duck with Mushroom. It's a magnificent delicacy. Lovely environment, waiter/waitress are nice. Willing to listen and acknowledge you as you first walk in. Cozy ambience. There's is an option for outdoor sitting but you'll be sitting on a high ribbed metal chair, which for some may not be comfortable for some. We sat outdoor, facing the main road. So yeah, cars and people walking past staring at you eating.
The only gripe I have, is the waiting time, it was longer than 15 minutes. We had to go and ask them what's taking them so long. It's not until 25 minutes later they explain that it was a busy night.

I went for my 3rd trip to no Mafia at the weekend, and just when I thought it couldn't get any better it did! Truly the best mouth watering gnocchi experience I have ever had! All of the 5 folks on my table (even the fussiest and most critical eater) raved. Hands down the best food. Congrats team for the consistently amazing food experience.

We walked into a lovely warm atmosphere friendly faces greeted us and brought us to our table.
We started with Roman arancini, fresh ‘bread in common’ bread, buratta and beetroot and the pickled octopus.
The arancini where delightful. Rich in flavour and a very impressive cheese pull. The buratta was deliciously soft and creamy with a pleasant beetroot pure. The octopus was amazing. It felt like summer on a plate.fresh herbs citrus and cooked to perfection.
Mains was duck pappardelle with mushroom. Was amazing! The duck was so tender and the sauce with rich without being to heavy. The prawn pasta was delicious very fresh with hints dill. My only complaint where few few prawns in the dish but this didn’t substitute flavour. Lastly was the gnocchi in ragu. The sauce is everything you want a sugo to be. Depth in colour, rich in flavour but unfortunately the gnocchi it’s self didn’t have a great texture.

Staff where lovely friendly and attentive. The manager was lovely too. He made light of us being late which was extremely kind. (Parking wasn’t great but that’s north bridge)
In all the table was very happy and agreed on retuning. Thank you No Mafia for a brilliant evening.

We have recommended from our manager he is a Italian and today I had a reservation at 6.30 we ordered 4 pasta and arancini the pasta was over cook stick together so terrible pasta but arancini was delicious.
Good service with friendly staff.

Great cocktails and delicious Italian food. Great service too. Fun location and atmosphere in Northbridge!

Not only do they not answer their phone but they are pushy once they get around to responding to an online enquiry. The staff in the restaurant are horrendously rude. All round HORRIBLE experience

I Visited No Mafia for dinner with my partner and two other couples. The food was outstanding (The Spaghettini Nduja is spicy! We were warned haha). The drinks were also excellent. Service staff were very polite and extremely efficient. There was a 30min wait for the lasagne which one of put party ordered, however we were informed of this when ordering and were happy to wait. We are not from Perth, however if we ever return we will certainly visit No Mafia again.

A very enjoyable experience. Bustle, Italiano spirit and joyful staff. Fresh food pasta, choice vino. Loved it. Si. Si.

Staff -

Venue and vibe -

* We were seated staring at the back freezer. The overall vibe everyone else was enjoying looked to be good. The table we were on should be turned around so that everyone on this undesirable table can at least feel somewhat involved in the atmosphere. Half the group staring at a large restaurant freezer and fridge with staff coming and going was rather unsettling. We felt like we were in their work area.

Cocktails - Staff need training in how to make an Aperol Spritz. Ours had hardly any Aperol or Prosecco in it. It was mostly soda water. The cocktails overall were lacking finesse and attention to detail. Some alcohol in them would be a good start.

Food - - whilst the flavours were okay, our prawn and calamari pastas were dry. They lacked moisture. The prawn pasta serving was rather small, and was just chopped bits of prawn. The flavour was okay, but for $29, was left wanting.

The shared food was nice, we did enjoy the olives, white anchovies and squid.

Come for the pasta, stay for the triple-cooked potatoes, wine selection and moody vibes. It’s the kind of place that you can go to for a boozy lunch with your girlfriends and bask in the sun for hours, just ordering more deliciousness and tasty drinks one after the other. But also the kind of place you head to for an intimate dinner date to have some of the most delicious pastas and some very impressive wine, as you sit back, impressed by the service and stare between each other’s eyes and that sweet sweet dessert. Highly recommend, will always go back.

Whilst the meal was tasty! The size of the portion for the money you pay is something to be desired: (
