This is a slightly more expensive very good Italian restaurant in Applecross. No complaints about the service on night we were there, very efficient and friendly.
We were a little disappointed with the scallop, prawn and risotto main finding it a little salty, possibly the prosciutto and puttanesca sauce in the dish. We have eaten here before and been quite happy with the dishes eaten on those occasions.
The dining area is a bit stark with a very high ceiling making it feel somehow 'unfriendly'? and the wrought iron chairs get a little uncomfortable after a while.
Despite these minor gripes we will be returning to this restaurant in the future.

Overall agree with the other comments here. Pizza was really tasty; the tomato sauce is particularly good. The Caesar salad is also really excellent and fresh.
Minor negative comments:
1 - the olives on the pizza are very poor, old and low quality. There are some really amazing olives around, they really need to improve these, it’s a below average ingredient on a great pizza.
2 - the service is all very ok. But you do need to work at it a little to get what you want. They are busy, this is great, but the service should not suffer.
Book a table later in the week as it is busy and reasonably so.

I visited Gucce restaurant on a Friday night with a large group of girlfriends. Gucce is a cosy little Italian venue hidden away in the suburban streets of Applecross. It's a lovely, warm, intimate place to visit on a cold winter's night.
The menu includes many authentic Italian comfort foods and some up-market dishes, too. Everything tastes homemade and consists of high quality ingredients and the service is prompt.
To begin on our journey of gastronomical delights, we discovered the Gucce tasting plate - This must be the closest I have ever come to being Italian! The portions of grilled Italian sausage were bursting with rustic flavours and I really enjoyed the pickled artichoke hearts, olives, marinated sardines, mushrooms and other tempting delicacies, all washed down with a glass of sparkling from the extensive wine list.
After much deliberation over the glorious mains menu, I finally ordered the prawns and prosciutto wrapped scallops in a spicy tomato based sauce with polenta ($31). This dish was bursting with flavour, however I found it a little on the salty side and in the end was regretting not having ordered the delicious looking veal dish across the table from me or the gourmet woodfired pizza on the right. However, the seafood in my dish was very fresh and cooked to perfection.
Uncharacteristically, I could not fit in dessert and instead chose to continue on the night's festivities at The Raffles down the road drinking overpriced bottles of cheap champagne! I will definitely return to Gucce one day, I think it's one of the best Italian restaurants in Perth!

- Two work friends and I went for dinner last Tuesday night. We were seated promptly and it was not long before the cold water we requested arrived. Having heard the servings were large we all decided to just order a main. I was very impressed with the spinach and ricotta ravioli. It was definitely homemade and the parcels were large and very moist. The only thing I would have preferred was to add my own parmesan cheese rather than have it served topped. One friend ordered a woodfired pizza and altered the toppings to suit her taste which was no problem at all. My other companion had a creamy vodka pasta which she also enjoyed. We all finished our meals and left very satisfied after a friendly chat with the staff as we paid the bill. It was well priced and the pasta was the best I've had.

- Went for dinner on a Wed night. Heaps of people came in for takeaway which is always a good sign. The service was great, very friendly people too. Little bit pricier then the average Italian restaurant but being in Applecross I guess you have to expect. Food was great, huge meals. I had Scallop and Proscuito Wrapped King Prawn Kebabs on a risotto which was perfect. Partner had scallopine with lemon sauce on potato which he struggled to finish. Desserts were pricey so we had coffee to finish. Recommend for good service and great food if you're willing to pay just a little more. Will go again for those seafood kebabs!

- Have been here a couple of times...it is a good casual Italian restaurant with lovely tiling and a good pizza oven. The food is always of a good quality . The restaurant is generally quite busy so it does have that chatty atmosphere but the tables are far enough apart to be comfortable and as the other review states it is quite spacious out the back and therefore nice and cool in summer. The garlic prawn pizza is particularly good as is the cheese and mushroom pasta dish. It is not byo which makes it annoying if you have a good cellar like us...but anyway worth the visit if you enjoy good food.

Went there for a casual midweek dinner with some friends. Relaxed and friendly atmosphere with very friendly staff. Meals are all very good sized. You will not go home hungry. I had an entree for main course and even that was filling. The pizza oven is a feature of the restaurant and great pizzas come of it.
Due to to height of the ceiling in the back section, the restaurant can be a bit echoey and noisy making it a bit difficult to hear conversations but apart from that I would recommend this restaurant for a fun casual night out with a group of friends.
