Tucked inside the iconic Star and Garter Hotel, Mamma Mia’s Trattoria is one of the top places to eat in Kalgoorlie, a place more than just a spot for a meal—it's the spot for great food, family-friendly fun, and local gatherings.
Let’s dig into what makes this authentic Italian restaurant in Kalgoorlie not just a dining experience, but a community favourite.
Before we even get to the food, it’s worth remembering that Mamma Mia’s Trattoria isn’t a standalone eatery. It lives within the Star and Garter Hotel, a family-owned and operated establishment steeped in local history. What was once a classic hotel pub dining room has been lovingly transformed into an Italian trattoria that caters to families, foodies, travellers and locals alike.
Where people once gathered for a cold pint, now they’re sitting down for homemade lasagna, gourmet pizza, or a mouth-watering Scotch Fillet steak. It’s a true Kalgoorlie institution that’s reinvented itself without forgetting its roots.
One thing that makes Mamma Mia’s so convenient? You’ll never rock up to a closed door. The restaurant is open seven days a week, offering breakfast, lunch, and dinner—making it one of the most accessible spots for a bite in town.
Lunch kicks off at 12:00 Noon and rolls into dinner from 4:30 PM till late. Whether it’s a midweek work lunch, a Sunday family outing, or a Friday night catch-up, Mamma Mia’s is ready to host.
Flexibility is a key part of the experience. Diners can opt for a quick bite at the buffet or take their time with a full a la carte menu. This range makes Mamma Mia’s one of the best options for family-friendly dining in Kalgoorlie, allowing even the fussiest eaters to find something they love.
Let’s get into the heart of what Mamma Mia’s does best—incredible food. The menu is rich, diverse, and tailored for Aussie palates craving something both familiar and flavour-packed.
