Siderno Caffe

Overall 6.5 - Food 6, Ambience 6, Value 6, Service 8

We ordered a Pizza Bianca ($8) for entrée that was of a good size, very flavoursome and not too oily. (8/10)

For the main we shared a Seafood Platter ($65) that was a bit of a mixed bag. (6/10)

The prawns (6/10), grilled fish (4/10) and salt and pepper squid (5/10) were rather tasteless and not very fresh at all, whilst the scallops (7/10) were tender and the mussels (8/10) seemed of good quality and in a very tasty "chilli" sauce. Served with a nice salad and average chips.

The serving was rather large and we couldn't finish the squid rings between the two of us. That said, if the dipping sauce tasted better and the batter wasn't as oily then maybe we would have given it more of an effort.

Service was very good and friendly, if not slightly intrusive, and the table we were given next to the window was nice apart from the hospital fluoro lights above our heads. The rest of the restaurant has a nice feel about it though, and I'd be more than willing to give it another go at some point.   (LarsenB - See my reviews (2) - September, 2010)

Very small portions compared to asking price. Mediocre standard and service was poor overall such as plates just being slapped down on table or wine bottle not allowed to breathe. I wont be going again and my advice is to stay away as one can do much better for the asking price of $37 for a main. The plates are not $15-$25 either but more like $25-$40. It just isn't worth it.   (Not Good! - September, 2010)

Tonight we are going to celebrate my daughters 18th Birthday - this will probably be the 8th time I will have been to this restaurant - it serves the best swordfish I have tasted, I use their Bruchetta to compare with other restaurants it is so good, the pastas are excellent, I am yet to try the pizzas, as I have never eaten there in the evening.

Had a Friday after-work drink with my wife. We had an appetiser (big bowl of marinated olives), followed by a vegetarian pizza, then tiramisu and coffee. Excellent service, pizza was the thin crust Italian style with fresh ingredients and the tiramisu was freshly made, so still had some "cakey" texture to it.

Drinks and food well priced, quality of food was excellent and service, from a number of different staff, was outstanding. We don't live close by but may well become regulars.   (Rob - July, 2009)

First time visit and for an 18th Birthday also. Pizzas for entres were very oily due to excessive cheese. 2 Mains of Veal Schnitzel both were very dry and tough. Calamari was acceptable as was peppered chicken. But to pay $280 for the night it definitely was not value for money given what is on offer elsewhere in Perth. - Would definitely not return - Jan 2009   (Ross - January, 2009)

Food was lovely, service was friendly and it overall was a very enjoyable place to dine out. Only comments are that there were far too many staff than required and it showed, the tables were uncomfortably close to each other, and although the restaurant is clean and ambient, it is quite stark and could do with some softening up to create a warmer, cosier, more italian atmosphere! This is only constructive critisism. Siderno is a wonderful new restaurant and I will be back many more times! Good Luck   (May, 2008)

Four of us dined at Siderno for the first time. I had the Gnocchi Gamberi which were the best gnocchi (aside from my mums) I have ever had at a restuarant. Friends had Chilli Mussels and my husband had the Salt and Pepper Calamari. The food is fantastic and the staff very friendly. Nice restuarant to bring the family to. Siderno has just opened and I would thoroughly recommend it. Will definately dine there again.   (perfect76 - April, 2008)
