Sal's Pasta Deli, nestled on Napoleon Street, beckons with its distinctive arched brick facade and a symphony of scents—crispy porchetta, fresh basil, and tomato sugo. The music of Andrea Bocelli serenades the quaint shopping strip. Founder Paul "Sal" Salmeri, after an eight-year culinary odyssey in Italy and a two-year stint at London's The River Café, brought the essence of Italy to Cottesloe. Since 2018, his eponymous deli has been a local must for pasta enthusiasts.

Crafted each morning, the pasta boasts flour from a third-generation family mill in Piedmont, Italy. Pappardelle, rigatoni, casarecce, tortellini, and gluten-free options line the front cabinet. Beyond pasta, Sal's culinary prowess extends to Pinsa Romana, an ovular Roman-style pizza with toppings like mortadella, stracciatella, pistachio, and fennel. Baguettes offer variations with pesto, tomato, mozzarella, deli meats or porchetta. Pre-prepared meals, including lasagne and eggplant parmigiana, grace the menu for on-the-go satisfaction when you want a night off.

The crowning gem is a thoughtfully lightened black kingfish tartare, enriched by a lively pickled jalapeño and a medley of apple puree and avocado served with a side of beetroot cracker.

An opulent plate of Futari Wagu carpaccio showcases the elegance of meat with a garlic and anchovy cream, marrying an orchestra of flavours. The charcoal-infused Josper oven earns its keep, imparting a subtle smokiness and char to dishes featuring plump Shark Bay prawns, spiced chicken and other proteins hailing from Western Australia.
