Mima Pizzeria brings a taste of la dolce vita to Dianella

Plus the best things to do in Bridgetown and more.

May 19, 2025

We do get in a bit of trouble from time-to-time amongst our (very caring) readers for not casting the net wide enough when it comes to spots to cover - from the northern suburbs especially. And to that we say we are a but small team (most of whom live central or south), but also - it’s fair criticism, and something we’ll keep trying to improve!

Starting today - where you can find out about a delightful new cafe in Dianella and a mighty meal deal in Ballajura. Plus the the lowdown on Huntingdale’s huge new Youth Entertainment Space (yes it’s east, but we’re tryin’!).

Troy Mutton, Editor-In-Chief, Perth is OK!

EAT & DRINK

Mima brings a taste of la dolce vita to Dianella

Nestled in the unassuming Bayley Street shopping district in Dianella is brand new vibrant cafe and pizzeria Mima, that rivals the hip espresso bars of Milan: where cappuccinos and Italian pastries are served in the morning, and pizza, pasta and aperitivo in the afternoon ’til the evening.

The best things to do in Bridgetown

Bridgetown is a must-visit destination for us, and when the temperature drops, it truly comes alive. The unofficial winter capital of WA (it’s also known as Fridgetown!) is packed to the brim with history, as well as plenty of spots for eating, drinking and exploring.
