Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

My husband had raved about his meals as LA SOSTA when visiting Perth. My first meal at the restaurant lived up to everything he had said. The servings are good, the flavours blend superbly and most of all the staff are fabulous. The owners keep...a gentle eye on everything and eveyone. However, the young staff are friendly, courteous and most of all, attentive. I look forward to returning every time I return to Perth. Thank you everyone in the La Sosta team.More

You know the minute you walk into La Sosta that you are in for a completely professional experience. The lighting is flattering, the ambience is buzzy without being loud, and front-of-house moves like a well-oiled machine. The menu doesn’t roll on for pages. There’s a...nice selection of handmade pasta dishes, a small selection of dishes without pasta and a full bar including a range of wines-by-the-glass. Menus and water are there as soon as you are seated and service is friendly. The whole experience rests on how good the kitchen is. In La Sosta’s case, it is very good, with big dishes and fresh ingredients. The restaurant is upstairs, with a nice balcony overlooking busy South Terrace.More

I have been going to La Sosta for many years from humble beginnings in their small space on ground floor to current, in their large grand space upstairs. I enjoy the outdoor door terrace with great Freo views. The wait staff are friendly and helpful...with impeccable service. And the food has been consistently excellent, but I still enjoy my all time favourite that has been on the menu since the beginning- pistachio prawn pasta. They also have excellent wines that complement the food very well. Come here for a lazy lunch or dinner; you won’t be disappointed!More

The menu is exciting. There were seven of us. We each had different dishes. Some had an entrees as well as a main. Each dish was sensational. Very well presented and flavourful. Everyone was really pleased. The grilled vegetables were a very good accompaniment. The...wine list is interesting and sold by the glass also. The dessert selection was exciting and delicious . An outstanding feature of the restaurant was the excellent service provided by the wait staff. It was noticable that the staff are very happy to be here. This reflects the positive leadership and team spirit that the management must be providing. A very efficient kitchen and floorstaff team. Many thanks for a really lovely experience. Congratulations to you all.More

We went to this place with our friends for dinner . I spoke on the phone with one of theirs staff and lady told me that there no booking is required, we will be seated if table is available. After we finished our main course...waiter asked if we would like to have a dessert. We agreed to have dessert and waiter went to collect dessert menu for us. Meanwhile another female waiter came up to our table and insisted that we should leave because there other people booked our table . So, not having dessert we went to pay and same lady who asked us to leave overcharged us by $120 .This waitress should get better training one with speaking to customers and two not to overcharge customers by $120. This very unfair and unprofessional. We will never recommend this restaurant to any of our friends, family or neighbours. It is unacceptable service.More

This used to be my fav upper end place in Freo. But oh my things have changed. We booked a table 3 days in advance, but when we got there we were on a shared table, even though there were numerous empty tables for 2....The waitress was less than keen to move us. Then the food… it was… ok. But the portion sizes were tiny. I had mushroom ravioli (9 pieces). And my partner had pork. Both were entree sized and felt like the other half of the dish was missing. Throughout we felt like we were being over served and they were primarily interested in flipping the table. But the worst part was, I tried to give helpful feedback about our experience to the maître de when we paid, but he obviously really didn’t care or want to hear it. Do yourself a favour and go to Capri or Ruccos, or Angle house and give this place and it’s inflated ego a miss. Shame, I used to really like this place.More

Google best restaurant in Fremantle and La Sosta comes up in the top 3. If i could give more than 5 stars i would. The secret door amongst the bustle of Market street is inviting as are all the staff you will encounter. Our waiters...were more than helpful in recommending dishes. The food was outstanding with enough time between courses. Prices were reasonable and worth every cent.More

What makes Italian food so great is their generosity of food and loving culture for life... This restaurant ha all the hallmarks of a grab at your hip pocket. The service was average had to ask twice for a glass of wine which is annoying....The portions were ridiculously on the small side of what you could possibly serve as a main. If they are going to charge fine Dining prices well then the food service ambiance should be exceptional.More

We were recommended this restaurant by a few people for our anniversary, but it was a mistake. Firstly, the entrée; The fried mushroom was 80% dry it was cut too small and only leaving a few pieces that where actually juicy inside, the octopus had...sand in the salad which we were told was " salt" unreal.. The mains; The lamb was chewy and over done and the sauce was so salty fish could survive in it, the tiny serving of pork was 40% Fat and very basic. For the serving size and the food court quality excuse of a meal left me pissed off for how much this cost. Avoid!More

Sadly this place is not what it used to be. Last night we were compelled to order our main course at the same time as our entree. The pate was sloppy and inedible. The salad was swimming in a dressing with an unusual flavour -almost...as if they had picked up the wrong bottle. The grilled seafood was rubbery and the vegetables may as well have been served raw. We seriously could not eat our meal and the staff seemed uninterested when we raised our concerns. We paid the full amount and left.More

I’ve just had one of the worse dining experiences here that I’ve had for a long time. The noise level is extreme, most diners needed to use their phone torch to read the menu, the service is very slow, my pasta and prawns were over...cooked and rubbery. Do yourself a favour and eat at Benny’s across the road where it’s quiet, the service is great and the seafood fresh, local and delicious.More
