Antipasti: Whet Your Appetite with Italian Delights
Every Italian adventure begins with the antipasti, a selection of small bites designed to awaken your taste buds and prepare them for the culinary journey ahead. At Tommy Sugo, we offer a delightful array of antipasti on our traditional Italian menu, each one bursting with flavour and perfect for sharing (or keeping all to yourself, we won’t judge!).
Arancini: Sicily’s Golden Gems
Imagine biting into a crispy golden ball, revealing a molten centre of creamy rice, savoury cheese, and sometimes even hidden treasures like slow-braised meat or roasted vegetables. That’s the magic of arancini, a Sicilian street food that’s become a beloved antipasto across Italy.
We offer a variety of arancini on our traditional Italian menu, each with its ownunique flavour profile. Try our classic Spinach & 5 Cheese Arancini Balls, a vegetarian delight bursting with creamy ricotta, mozzarella, fontina, parmesan, and pecorino. Or, for a taste of something different, explore our Jackfruit Curry Arancini, a delicious fusion creation featuring tender jackfruit simmered in a fragrant curry sauce.
Cannelloni: A Feast for the Eyes and the Stomach
Cannelloni are large pasta tubes filled with savoury goodness and baked in a rich tomato sauce. They’re a showstopper on any traditional Italian menu, and we have two incredible options at Tommy Sugo. Our Porcini Mushroom & Ricotta Cannelloni is a vegetarian masterpiece, featuring earthy porcini mushrooms and creamy ricotta nestled within giant pasta tubes, all bathed in a luxurious tomato sauce.
For the meatlovers, our Sicilian Beef Cannelloni in Napolitana Sauce is a must-try. Tender slow-braised beef is combined with ricotta and herbs, then stuffed into cannelloni and baked in our signature Napolitana sauce, a vibrant symphony of tomatoes, garlic, and fresh basil.
Lasagne: A Classic Comfort Food
Lasagne is a cornerstone of any traditional Italian menu, and for good reason. Layers of pasta, rich sauce, creamy béchamel, and melt-in-your-mouth cheese create a dish that’s both comforting and utterly delicious.
At Tommy Sugo, we offer a variety of lasagnas to tantalise your taste buds. Our 8 Vegetable Lasagne is a vegetarian delight, featuring a medley of seasonal vegetables layered with creamy béchamel and a light tomato sauce. Craving some red meat? Our Harvey Beef Lasagne is a classic, featuring slow-braised WA beef and a rich tomato sauce. If you’re looking for a healthier option, try our Beef Cheek Lasagna with Wholemeal Pasta, a protein-packed and flavourful twist on a classic.
Ravioli & Gnocchi: Bite-Sized Delights
Ravioli and gnocchi are two other staples on a traditional Italian menu. Ravioli are small pasta parcels filled with a variety of delicious ingredients, while gnocchi are soft dumplings made from potato or flour. Both offer endless possibilities for flavour combinations.
We offer a wide selection of ravioli and gnocchi at Tommy Sugo, ensuring there’s something for everyone. Our Lamb Spelt Ravioli with Bush Tomato & Native Mint is a unique Australian twist, featuring the vibrant flavours of native ingredients. For a classic vegetarian option, try our Ricotta & Pesto Spelt Ravioli, a creamy and flavourful delight.
We haven’t forgotten the gluten-free folks! Our Gluten-Free Gnocchi and Gluten Free Spinach & Ricotta Ravioli ensure everyone can enjoy the deliciousness of a traditional Italian menu at Tommy Sugo.
Primi Piatti: The Heart of the Italian Meal
The antipasti have prepped your palate, and now it’s time for the main event: the primi piatti, which translates to “first course” in Italian. This is where a traditional Italian menu truly shines, showcasing the art of pasta making and regional specialties.
Fresh Pasta Creations: A Symphony of Flavours and Textures
Pasta is the undisputed king of primi piatti on a traditional Italian menu. At Tommy Sugo, we use only the freshest, high-quality pasta, cooked to al dente perfection. We then combine it with a variety of delicious sauces, from classic tomato-based creations to creamy carbonaras and vibrant vegetable concoctions.
One of our customer favourites is the Fresh Fettuccine. These long, flat ribbons of pasta are perfect for catching a generous amount of sauce. We offer it with several options, including a simple yet flavourful Napolitana sauce, a creamy Alfredo sauce, or a rich Bolognese ragu.
For something a little more adventurous, try our Baked Ricotta, Sundried Tomato & Caramelised Onion Tortelloni. These plump tortelloni are filled with a creamy ricotta mixture and bursting with the sweet and tangy flavours of sundried tomatoes and caramelised onions. It’s a vegetarian delight that’s sure to tantalise your taste buds.
Sauces: The Soul of the Dish
A good sauce can elevate a simple dish of pasta to new heights. On a traditional Italian menu, you’ll find a wide variety of sauces, each with its ownunique flavour profile. At Tommy Sugo, we use only the freshest ingredients to create our sauces, ensuring they burst with flavour in every bite.
Our Napolitana Sauce is a classic, made with vine-ripened tomatoes, garlic, fresh basil, and a touch of olive oil. It’s the perfect base for a variety of pasta dishes, from spaghetti to penne.
Feeling adventurous? Take a trip to Sicily with our “Siciliana Sauce.” This vibrant concoction features capers, capsicums, and anchovies, adding a salty and tangy kick to your pasta. It’s a delicious and unexpected twist on a traditional tomato sauce.
We also offer vegetarian and gluten-free options, like our creamy Bechamel Sauce and flavourful Primavera Sauce with mushrooms, olives, and chilli.
Don’t Forget the Sides: Contorni
While pasta takes centre stage in the primi piatti, a traditional Italian menu wouldn’t be complete without contorni, or side dishes. These are typically simple, vegetable-based dishes that complement the richness of the pasta.
At Tommy Sugo, we offer a variety of contorni to choose from, ensuring you get a well-rounded and balanced meal. Our roasted seasonal vegetables are a great way to add some colour and freshness to your plate. We also offer classic Italian sides like grilled zucchini and eggplant parmesan.
Gnocchi & Risotto: Alternative Delights
While pasta reigns supreme, a traditional Italian menu often features other delicious options for the primi piatti. Gnocchi, those soft dumplings made from potato or flour, are a comforting and hearty alternative. We offer them in a variety of flavours, like our classic Potato Gnocchi with a simple tomato sauce or our indulgent Gorgonzola & Walnut Gnocchi.
Risotto is another Italian favourite, made with short-grain rice cooked in a broth until it reaches a creamy consistency. At Tommy Sugo, we offer a selection of risottos, like our classic saffron risotto and our decadent porcini mushroom risotto.

Secondi Piatti: Unveiling the Main Course Majesty
The primi piatti have laid a delightful foundation, and now it’s time for the secondi piatti, the “second course” in Italian. This is where a traditional Italian menu truly shines, showcasing the art of meat and seafood preparation, regional specialties, and hearty stews.
Carne Delizioso (Delicious Meats): A Carnivore’s Paradise
For meat lovers, a traditional Italian menu is a celebration of flavourful protein dishes. At Tommy Sugo, we source only the highest-quality cuts of meat from local WA producers, ensuring exceptional taste and texture in every bite.
Our signature dish, the Harvey Beef Ravioli, takes centre stage. Slow-braised Harvey beef chunks are nestled within delicate ravioli pockets and bathed in a rich tomato sauce. It’s a classic dish that embodies the essence of comfort food.
Feeling adventurous? Take a trip to Tuscany with our Veal Scaloppini al Limone. Tender veal scallops are pan-fried and drizzled with a vibrant lemon sauce, creating a light and flavourful dish that’s perfect for a summer evening.
For something slow-cooked and incredibly flavourful, try our Lamb Shanks with Rosemary & Garlic Mash. The lamb shanks are braised to melt-in-your-mouth tenderness, and infused with the fragrant aroma of rosemary. We serve them alongside creamy garlic mash, creating a truly satisfying meal.
Pesce Fresco (Fresh Fish): A Seafood Symphony
Italy boasts a rich seafood tradition, and a traditional Italian menu wouldn’t be complete without showcasing the bounty of the ocean. At Tommy Sugo, we use only the freshest seasonal seafood, ensuring you experience the true taste of the Mediterranean.
Our pan-seared Barramundi with Lemon Butter Sauce is a simple yet delightful dish. The barramundi is cooked to flaky perfection and finished with a creamy lemon butter sauce, creating a marriage of delicate flavours.

We also offer lighter seafood options like our Seared Scallops with Risotto and our Salmon Fillet with Roasted Vegetables, ensuring there’s something to tantalise every seafood lover’s taste buds.
Verdure Deliziose (Delicious Vegetables): Vegetarian Delights
A traditional Italian menu isn’t just for meat and seafood lovers. Many vegetarian options offer incredible flavour and depth. At Tommy Sugo, we take pride in crafting delicious vegetarian dishes that showcase the versatility of fresh seasonal vegetables.
Our Eggplant Parmesan is a classic dish that never disappoints. Layers of tender eggplant are breaded and fried to golden perfection, then layered with a rich tomato sauce and melted mozzarella cheese. It’s a vegetarian comfort food at its finest.
