A three-day pasta feast
Since arriving in Sydney at the start of the last decade, Venetian chef Enrico Tomelleri has cooked at some of the city’s top Italian establishments, including Fratelli Paradiso, 10 William Street and, since last year, Paski Vineria Popolare. (His list of 2021 accomplishments also includes helping to open Mount Hawthorn’s Casa wine bar, albeit remotely thanks to WA’s borders.) This week, Tomelleri can finally lay eyes on Casa, and Perth eaters can enjoy our man. cooking, live and live. From Thursday to Saturday, Tomelleri and fellow Casa chef-partner Paul Bentley offer five pastas and snacks on each night’s menu, giving consumers the opportunity to explore the breadth and delights of the planet’s pastas. . A handful of reservations will be available, but most of the space — in typical Casa fashion — will be reserved for walk-ins.

A new sandwich to put on your radar
Between Peggy’s and Kakulas Sister’s Little Sister Delicatessen, the corner of Leake and Market streets in Fremantle is something of a happy place for sandwich lovers.

Through the tasting glass (of wine)
Who are WA’s new wave winemakers worth following?
