lady of ro

great spot, simple tasty food. dont know why people complain about noise, its just a cosy buzzing restaurant. we went on busy fridaynightand there was no tables available but we went to a cool bar next door and the waiter came to get us 15 mins later when our table was ready. great prompt service but not in your face which we like! will def go back.

i am sorry to have to give a poor review but the treatment of my group by the owner/chef lastnightwas less than acceptable. i made a booking for 9 for a celebration 2 weeks ago, and received text confirmation othat chef's menu was the only option at $70pp (no alc as it is byo) and a 8.15pm seating which we agreed to. when we arrived lastnightthey admitted their error by not having the reservation and were obviously stressed. but rather than being apologetic for the inconvenience and offering some compensation, he was pretty much "sorry not sorry". he did suggest going for a drink next door to juanita's (where we had just come from) to re-organise some seating but when one of my group expressed displeasure at the error given the late hour, we were told he could not seat us after all. i was disappointed for my group (it now being 8.30pm on a friday with no restaurants in walking distance and presents and champagne and no where to go!). i did say the complaint was just that he seemed really put out by our arrival and perhaps he could have been a bit regretful, may be offered a discount or voucher but he said no and that it was human error and seemed to really wanted us gone. he said we were holding him up from cooking inside. he really did not want our business, and my advice to readers is that maybe he won't want yours either.

byo and food if this quality. winner.
we went with a group of 10 and asked that they just provide food off their board to meet our needs (1 x gluten free and 1 x no seafood). the food came allnightand was fresh and tasty. the spaghetti with mushroom and pork ragu - wow. the halumi cheese - wow. give this place a go if you can get in. staff can be a little busy but service is generally good.

have been here on many occasions usually in groups. small lively venue, please don't go if you're after a quietnightout. good food, a bit expensive but it is byo.

food was fresh and delicious, however portions were extremely small for the price $55 per head set menu for our large group. service was disappointing. we were told on thenightwe had the option of paying extra $5 per head for desserts including byo, however when we made the booking it clearly stated in the text that $55 per head byo $5 per bottle set menu was including 'something sweet'. male waiter was friendly and helpful, however the female manager was rather rude. although they didn't end up charging us extra $5 per head for desserts, i personally will not go back because there are simply many other great food choices with better service around perth.

not sure why there are so many negative reviews on here- been here twice 1 year apart in time and i have had 5/5 experiences both times!
i agree that the place and serving sizes are quite small for the price but overall in a big group sharing lots of the dishes our dinner was $25/pp including our byo wine!
i must admit the booking system was not a problem as it was a weekday however i recognize that on a busy weekend it might be a bit difficult.
overall greatnightin a cosy spot 😃

went for dinner on a wednesdaynightand service was quick to get us water and glasses for our byo wine. the menu is on a chalkboard which the waiter has to bring over for you. strange but ok. we got the slow cooked lamb shoulder, octopus, gnocchi, caprese salad, and pappardelle between the 4 of us which was all really nice. and the apple cake was really yum. the only negative was the portions were quite small but overall a great night

how this place only has a 3.0 astounds me. my 3rd visit to lady of ro lastnightdid not disappoint once again. food is exceptional! service is efficient and so friendly! must try their desserts! choc ricotta cake 👌 slow cooked lamb and lamb cutlets also favourites. greatnightout! will be back

ournightstarted with me and my 3 guests walking into the restaurant being greeted to then find out we didn't have a table, as our booking hadn't been noted down. i had made a booking earlier in the week by sending a text message to the restaurants mobile number, with a confirmation text being sent shortly after. obviously there was a breakdown of communication and quite apparent disorganisation on the floor. a tall older lady offered us a table however there would be a wait to be seated, we decided not to stay as we were starving and could go elsewhere down the road. this threw ournightas we had also arranged a babysitter and were on a time limit as us parents don't get out often. we didn't get to experience what the restaurant had to offer and don't want to waste our time by going back.

really nicenightout. un-ostentatious and friendly, if a little cramped. good food. enjoyed the sardines. try the sofla (custard pie). to die for!
