Cucina On Hay

Cucina on Hay, nestled within Mercure Perth, offers an authentic Italian dining experience in the city's East End. The restaurant's interior features a full-ceiling skylight, angled wooden beams, tumbled terracotta tiles, and picnic-style benches, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The menu showcases authentic, house-made ingredients, including imported Italian goods and local produce from West Australian suppliers. Signature dishes include an 18-hour slow-cooked lamb osso buco, duck cappelletti, and zambagilone semifreddo. Italian breads are baked daily by Il Panino Bakery, olives and extra virgin olive oil are sourced from Gin Gin, and charcuterie from Mondo Doro Smallgoods. The venue also features a dedicated Cucina Coffee Window for those on the go and offers a dine-in breakfast menu. By day, café-style Italian lunch items are available for takeaway and dine-in, and in the afternoons, the offering extends to include charcuterie and other share items, as well as pizzas. Wine and beer pairings are also available. By night, Cucina on Hay's focus on Italian share plates continues, with the addition of specialty Italian cocktails.
