Our function rooms in Leichhardt hold a minimum of 10 guests and a maximum of 140 guests. We offer two layouts: seated for sit-down dining and standing for cocktail-style events. There is no extra charge to reserve a private room. You only need to meet the minimum spend, which varies by day and time of the booking. The minimum spend can be met by combining food and drinks. If it is not reached on the day, a room hire fee will apply instead.

Our function packages include shared Italian menus and optional drinks packages. You choose your preferred dishes from each course on the menu, and on the day, those selections are served as shared plates for the whole group. Menus showcase seasonal ingredients and serve as a guide, so minor changes may occur; we are happy to consider special requests where possible. Unlimited drinks packages include only the drinks listed in each package and are available for 3 hours from the event start time. All other beverages are charged on consumption. RSA laws apply and are enforced. Please discuss your menu with our event organiser.
