"Several Italian places to eat in Fremantle were established decades ago by migrating families. One long standing venue, opened by an Italian family in the 1970s, is Pizza Bella Roma on High Street, just off the strip.

"Walking for ten minutes as the Freo Doctor’s salty mistral mingles past the century old terraced homes, restored warehouses and urban apartments of Fremantle’s West End, you will arrive in a otherwise unassuming street a block back from the Cappuccino Strip. It’s here that Strange Company effortlessly weaves good design, great service and, of course, glorious beer into a modern yet mid-century influenced space that was once a wetsuit factory. The local focus on the eight venue owned taps may not stray into the esoteric ends of craft beer, however there is enough on offer to keep the crawler happy."

Their Spanish-inspired tapas menu, featuring Jerusalem artichokes, duck and pork rillettes and mushroom croquettes, are perfect for a table for two. With their wide variety of local beers and wine, you won’t be strangers for long!"
