We celebrated our niece’s 30th birthday on a Sunday night. Aim to arrive in South Perth 15 min ahead of schedule in order to get a car parking spot. Every person on the table ordered a different main ranging from $47 for the lamb cutlets to an average of $30-$35 for most other mains. Serving sizes were generous and the wait staff attentive. They would have received 5/5 if the staff had brought and opened the right bottle of wine and the right beers. Sadly our first drinks order was a bit of a shambles.

4 of us enjoyed a casual Sunday dinner in this bustling, friendly restaurant. Service was attentive, knowledgeable, and engaging. The food was delicious and the specials were exceptional value. The Ravioli special and the Pappardelle Ragu were the highlights and my wife and I returned a week later on the next Sunday evening and ordered the same dishes. We were not disappointed !! They also make one of the best Lemoncello Spritz's in Perth. It is easy to see why this is such a popular restaurant. Mike.

No complaints on the food, favourable servings and yummy. Price was fair. Seating comfort average and table service was mediocre; our waiter left the wine bottle unopened in the bucket and did not offer to serve it. The waiter also did not listen when giving our orders; twice we had to correct him! Overall, I will visit again and trust me the desserts are to die for.

Nice Italian food , we enjoyed the pasta and pizza, service was good . When I paid with my credit card the waiter selected a 15% tip without asking me . I asked him what is this surcharge about, he told me to don’t worry about . I asked him to print the receipt and asked him again what is this 15% tip , he told me that I selected the 15% tip , I told him I didn’t not select this he did and I don’t want to pay 15% extra for tip. I m not American , in Australia we usually don’t tip , I wonder if they do that to all their customers without letting them know Please check your receipt before to pay as this was done in a very sneaky way to tip himself.

It was good to be back at Automatic. There were some new faces and they were professional and friendly. I went with friends for a casual meal and was not disappointed. The maitre' d was helpful, making an unusual cocktail for a Canadian friend without a fuss. He is clearly an experienced pro. The food was good, the service all round was pleasant and helpful and there was absolutely no issue with splitting the bill. A good night!

We were out as a group of 6 and enjoyed the evening. The place feels authentically Italian and the food does not disappoint. A restaurant cannot be blamed these days for staff shortages however, those who do the waiting should be aware of some basic rules. Do not clear the table when some, or even one, are still eating. Give an update when lead time is really long and ask whether anyone wants another drink when you finally visit the table.

It has a lovely ambiance, though my hubby doesn’t like it too noisy. Just depends what time you go. We ordered cocktails. The pumpkin ravioli was delicious and Truffle fries are always a hit for starters to share. Staff were good but the lady that served us could be a bit more smiley.

So disappointed from this experience as I have referred so many people to this place but after tonight's incident this is the first time I have given any restaurant a review (good or bad) as I am beyond shocked. I simply asked the waitress if I could have the Gnocchi but have it Gluten Free and her response was a YES. I am aware it didn't say it on the menu but it's very common to ask staff for other possibilities/alternatives. A different waitress brought out my meal and it was spaghetti, I said I didn't order this as I ordered GF Gnocchi, so she removed the plate and went back to the chef to ask. She then brought it back and said "you ordered gluten free and this is the gluten free pasta we do" which I replied with "but I ordered gnocchi as I was told you can do GF Gnocchi" she was very forceful placing the plate in front of me and basically just repeated herself and said "we don't do GF gnocchi". Honestly, she was so aggressive I didn't want to argue it and decided to be open to trying it but after one bite I was not impressed and asked the two people who I was with to have a bite which they agreed was almost not edible. The first waitress who took my order returned as we were finishing up and asked if I would like a doggy bag, I then told her what had happened which she got very defensive and sarcastically said to me "can you read?" and pointed at the menu and said "it doesn't say gluten free!" She kept arguing that even the people I was with had to step in and explain that because she said "YES" to me asking if the gnocchi could come gluten free that is not my fault as she should've said "NO" The manager then came out and to my surprise had the same attitude of all the other staff. I was being told that I have "misunderstood" and asked again "can you read the menu?" it was very frustrating trying to explain to the staff that I ordered something they falsely agreed to serving me as if she would've said no then I would've ordered another option that was GF. Regardless of what a menu says, it is common to ask the staff if they can adjust a meal and if they say yes then don't deliver that, that is not an error of the person who made the order. (If you go into a restaurant and ask for example: can I have no mushroom on the pizza, even if the menu says it comes with mushroom, and they say "YES" you would expect the pizza to come out with no mushroom... right??) After being spoken to as "dumb" from staff who's English wasn't very strong (as they themselves admitted) I was asked if I would like to order something else but after this incident my appetite was lost. I'm so disappointed by this experience and I never would've thought that Automatic would be the reason for my first review. Awful staff but there is one waiter who has been there for a while and he is always friendly- to end things on a positive note.

I’m a repeat offender at this fantastic Italian Restaurant that’s clearly run by people who know how to deliver great food, service and atmosphere . The food is really quite exceptional. It’s usually quite busy so booking is advised although when I have turned up unannounced they always try to fit you in! One of Perths best !

Went for breakfast - meals all came out at different times, and one of the meals we ordered didn't come out and when we asked for it again the wrong meal came out. By then we had all finished our meals anyway so we cancelled it. Staff didn’t seemed phased or in a rush to fix the issue. Meals tasted average and service very poor. Shame. Won’t go back.

Automatic doesn't look much from the outside - it looks quite casual and relaxed. However, the food did not disappoint. The duck pappardelle and the crispy-skin barramundi were especially enjoyed by our party, as was the pizza. Service was friendly and prompt, and they were very accommodating to requests for changes to dishes. My partner and I will definitely be back for a relaxed date night.

We visit here on a regular basis. Came a little earlier due to wanting an outdoor seat and hopefully beating the crowds. We were lucky to snag an outdoor seat which happened to be the last outside table available. We didnt book as were under the impression only large table could book. However on enquiring they recently changed this so all party sizes can now book. Great idea. So many people arrived and were turned away. Our meals were wonderful with the truffle fries to start and i have the usual Diavola pizza which is great. My partner had the fried pork cutley which we both agreed was underwhelming. Was an unusual order for us so maybe we just did not enjoy the taste. Apart from this was still a great evening.

Lovely spot in South Perth recommended by one of the staff members in our hotel. Started of garlic prawns was devine. My pizza was too meaty for me which is absurd as I am a deffo carnivore! My husband loved his daviola though. Negroni was like half a measure! Never in my life had one where it’s half measures! Saying all the above we would visit again if in Perth 👍

We tried to get in without a reservation because it was close tot he hotel, but it was Valentines day. We also tried to make a booking for the following night but they dont take bookings unless you are a party of 7 or more. So we went on the list and came back 40 minutes later, were seated and then waited for the table to be set, then waited for the service to order drinks and get a menu, then waited to place an order, all whilst watching people enter after us, get seated and served straight away. The food, when it finally arrived was luke warm, so I assume that it was sitting for some time before it was dumped on the table by mister personality. We then had to find our own salt, pepper and then go to the bar to order another round of drinks The wait person we had was totally disinterested in his customers and pretty much destroyed the evening and the opportunity for us to enjoy the place and food.
