Perth’s most deliziosi carbonara dishes

Plus where we're headed this weekend.

April 11, 2025

Is it too early to start dreaming about carbonara dishes? We know it’s more of a cooler months delicacy, but at the same time, people can eat whatever they dang well please, whenever they dang well want. And if you fall into that category, below you’ll find some of the best carbonaras to be found around Perth.

You’ll also find where to nab some of the best Shrimp Po Boys in Perth on Saturday night, buy some incredible Aboriginal artworks on Saturday day, 10 of the best new theatre shows coming to Perth this year, and more. Have a great weekend!

Feeling hungry? We’ve put together a list of some of Perth’s best carbonara dishes from the traditional fare that tastes just like Nonna used to make, to the more experimental creations like carbonara bites and pizza!
