1. Why Pasta’s the Ultimate Comfort Food in Perth

In a sun-soaked, fast-paced city like Perth, comfort food is essential. And for many locals, pasta fills that role perfectly. At Tommy Sugo, we’ve seen time and again how a simple plate of pasta can turn a tough day into a great one.

Universally Loved

Pasta bridges generations and tastes—kids, adults, vegos, meat lovers—everyone’s got a favourite. We’ve had customers tell us our lasagne turned a family BBQ into a celebration, or that our ravioli helped patch up a stressful week. It’s food that comforts without pretence.

A Mood for Every Shape

There’s something deeply personal about choosing your pasta. Feeling fancy? Go for creamy fettuccine. Need something hearty? Our beef cannelloni will sort you out. Every shape on our menu has its own character and suits different vibes.

No Artificial Nonsense

Tommy Sugo is proud to go the extra mile when it comes to quality. We don’t use preservatives, additives, or cheap shortcuts. Every meal is handcrafted in our Perth kitchens using ingredients you’d find in a proper Italian pantry—fresh herbs, real cheeses, slow-cooked sauces—flavour you can trust. Whether you're enjoying a gourmet pasta or taking a break after your barista course Perth, Tommy Sugo is the perfect choice for wholesome, authentic Italian comfort food.

2. Pasta Shapes That Feel Like Old Friends

Each type of pasta has a personality—some are playful, others elegant, and many are built for soaking up sauce like a sponge. Here are some of our most-loved classics:

Spaghetti

It’s the OG pasta, long and perfect for twirling. Our Spaghetti Bolognese and Carbonara are house favourites, featuring slow-cooked sauces and just the right bite.

Lasagne

Layered with slow-cooked beef, béchamel, and rich tomato sauce, our Harvey Beef Lasagne is a fan favourite. It’s comfort layered upon comfort, perfect for parties or Sunday dinners.

Fettuccine

Silky, wide ribbons that cling to creamy sauces like our chicken alfredo or classic carbonara. Great for when you want indulgence without the effort.

Ravioli

Stuffed pasta parcels of joy. Our beef cheek ravioli is paired with red wine jus, creating a restaurant-quality experience at home.

Tortellini

Mini rings of deliciousness. Our chicken tortellini is cheesy, satisfying, and perfect for both kids and grown-ups.

Macaroni

Nostalgia in a bowl. Our macaroni cheese is creamy, gooey, and sneakily packed with veggies—kids won’t even notice!

Cannelloni

Tubes filled with spinach and ricotta, baked in tomato sauce and topped with cheese. A vegetarian option that even meat-eaters love.

Linguine

Slightly flatter than spaghetti, this one’s perfect for lighter, zesty sauces. Pair it with lemon and garlic or seafood for a summery twist.

3. Quirky Pasta Shapes to Add Some Fun

Feeling adventurous? Try some of our more unique pasta shapes that bring visual flair and textural excitement to your plate.

Farfalle (Bowtie Pasta)

Cute as a button and great with creamy or tomato-based sauces. Perfect for picnics or light lunches.

Orecchiette

Italian for “little ears,” this pasta shape is perfect for thick, rustic sauces. Our broccoli and garlic version is a house favourite.

Fusilli

Corkscrew-shaped spirals that trap sauce in every twist. It’s great for rich tomato sauces or pesto-based meals.

Cavatelli

A lesser-known star. Rolled into mini hotdog bun shapes, cavatelli are great with meat-based ragùs or cheesy sauces.

Orzo

Looks like rice, but it’s actually pasta. Light and versatile—ideal for salads or as a side dish to grilled meats.

Rigatoni

Big tubes with ridges that love bold sauces. Tomato and sausage is a top combo here.

Capellini (Angel Hair)

Delicate and elegant, it works beautifully with light oil-based sauces or simple garlic and herb tosses.

4. Sauces That Steal the Show

At Tommy Sugo, the sauce is where the soul of the meal lives. Our sauces are simmered to perfection and made from scratch. Here are a few that customers rave about:

Pasta alla Norma

Sicilian-inspired tomato and eggplant dish. It’s vegetarian, fresh, and zingy—amazing with rigatoni or linguine.

Cacio e Pepe

Just pecorino cheese and black pepper, but so much flavour. Our version is creamy, tangy, and perfect with capellini.

Spaghetti alle Vongole

A seafood lover’s dream—garlicky, briny, and full of ocean flavour. Best paired with linguine.

Amatriciana

Pancetta, tomatoes, and a touch of chilli. It’s spicy, rich, and wakes up your taste buds.

Tagliatelle Bolognese

Wide pasta with a meaty Bolognese sauce that’s slow-cooked for hours. Deep flavour, hearty feel.

Pappardelle with Beef Ragù

The king of comfort food—broad ribbons of pasta with a thick, savoury sauce that clings to every bite.

Primavera Gnocchi

Potato gnocchi served with fresh vegetables and a light tomato sauce—spring in a bowl.

5. Pasta for Every Dietary Need

• Gluten-Free Pasta: Our gluten-free gnocchi and ravioli are just as tasty as the originals. Made without wheat, but full of flavour.

8. The Rich History of Pasta—and Why It’s Still a Staple

Pasta has roots dating back centuries in Italy, with each shape designed for a particular sauce or purpose. From Roman feasts to your kitchen in Perth, pasta’s journey is long—and tasty.

At Tommy Sugo, we honour that tradition with every dish. Whether you’re enjoying our tagliatelle Bolognese or trying cavatelli for the first time, you’re tasting a bit of history, culture, and love.
