About
Our Founding Story
Tom’s Italian was born out of one simple idea: to bring people together over incredible food by the sea. Founded by Ben, a passionate chef with a love for Italian flavours and the laid-back North Beach lifestyle, the restaurant has become a place where family, friends, and locals gather to share meals and moments. What started as a dream overlooking the legendary Tom’s surf break is now one of Perth’s most beloved coastal dining spots.
What Makes Tom’s Unique
At Tom’s Italian, food is more than just a meal. It’s about connection. Every dish is crafted with care, using the freshest Australian produce and inspired by Ben’s love of authentic Italian cuisine. We believe in creating an environment that feels warm, relaxed, and welcoming to all, whether you’re here for a romantic dinner, a long lunch with friends, or a celebration by the ocean.
Signature & Approach
Our menu blends traditional Italian classics with modern coastal flair, designed to showcase the very best local ingredients. From handmade pasta and wood-fired pizzas to fresh seafood and seasonal dishes, every plate tells a story of flavour and freshness. Guests love our signature ‘old favourites’ nights, where we bring back timeless classics that feel like home. Whatever you choose, each dish is made to be savoured and shared.
The Chef & Team
Behind every plate is Ben, the heart of Tom’s Italian. With years of experience and a creative passion for flavour, he personally develops and crafts each recipe, ensuring every dish is both fresh and unforgettable. Alongside him, our friendly team shares the same commitment to hospitality, making every guest feel like part of the Tom’s family.
