Authentic Italian · Pizza e Vino

Local, Handcrafted, Traditional Pizza

A slice of Italy in the neighbourhood — two locations, one obsession, artisan pizza pasta and honest Italian wine.

About Us

Local, Handcrafted & Delicious

Coccodrillo Pizza e Vino was born from a simple idea: bring the soul of an Italian pizzeria — the fire, the wine, the noise of a full room — to the neighbourhood.

Every pizza starts with a unique traditional regional recipe, hand-stretched and finished in a blistering traditional pizza oven — characterised by its flavour and texture on the palate. Every glass of wine is chosen to sit beside it. Nothing complicated. Just the good stuff, done properly.

Our Story

The Kitchen

Coccodrillo is the latest creation of Nino La Verghetta, a driving force behind several successful Perth dining venues. Alongside his wife, Sarina Tricoli, Nino has built an energetic yet welcoming space where genuine hospitality thrives.

To realize his culinary vision, Nino partnered with two long-time collaborators: chefs Romolo Gargarella and Alberto Arceri. Together, they bring decades of experience and a deep respect for Italian tradition to the table.

Romolo Gargarella — Trained at the A.P.I. school in Rome, Romolo leads the pizza kitchen. He uses carefully selected Italian flours and long-fermented doughs to craft exceptional, Roman-style pizzas.

Alberto Arceri — Bringing precision and creativity to the menu, Alberto crafts exquisite handmade pastas, fresh seafood dishes, and signature regional plates.

Our Food

Our Philosophy

At Coccodrillo, everything starts with great ingredients. Inspired by his Italian roots, Nino personally sources many of our products such as flour, tomatoes, extra virgin olive oil and wines directly from trusted producers across Italy, bringing the flavours he grew up with to every dish. From handmade pasta to carefully chosen seasonal ingredients, quality is at the heart of everything we serve. Our wine list follows the same philosophy, featuring bottles from family-owned vineyards that showcase the character and diversity of Italy's wine regions.

More than a place to eat, Coccodrillo is an invitation to experience Italy through the people who live it every day.
