Since opening its doors in 2016, Lulu La Delizia has established itself as a key figure in the Italian dining scene, not just in WA, but nationally and internationally too. (Marco Pierre White, famously, has hailed Lulu’s as his favourite Australian restaurant.)
It’s not hard to understand the osteria’s appeal. From its punchy, Northern Italian-inspired menu to the art on the walls, jump blues on the playlist and the wine on the drinks list, everything about Lulu’s reflects the tastes and ideas of owners Ivana and Joel Valvasori-Pereza. At a time when a certain sameness is creeping into hospitality, singular, independent restaurants like Lulu’s have never been more important.
As the Subiaco osteria approaches its 10th anniversary, Joel joins Yes, Chef! host Max Veenhuyzen at Lawson Flats on Monday July 27 to reflect on the story so far, from his early days in Melbourne, to tales from the dining room: as told by a renowned chef turned equally celebrated restaurant manager.
After the chat everyone is invited upstairs to Luis’, Lawson Flats’ in-house bar and restaurant, for dinner and drinks and to continue the conversation. Book your table here.
