Mercure Perth has officially opened Cucina on Hay restaurant, the city’s latest Italian eatery which will showcase authentic Italian fare through shared dining experiences seven days a week.

The restaurant design incorporates traditional elements, refined for today’s context. The interior creates a courtyard dining space internally, having been transformed with a full-ceiling skylight, angled wooden beams, tumbled terracotta tiles and picnic style benches.

The menu features authentic, house-made ingredients, imported Italian treats and outstanding local produce from West Australian suppliers and growers. Signature dishes include an 18-hour slow cooked Lamb Osso Buco, Duck Cappelletti and Zambagilone Semifreddo – Cucina on Hay’s take on the traditional creamy Italian dessert.

By night, Cucina transforms into a vibrant bar and restaurant, focusing on authentic Italian share plates and specialty Italian cocktails.

Cucina on Hay is located at 10 Irwin Street, Perth.
