Private Function Rooms Near Glebe

Venue walkthroughs are by appointment only, which means our team can give you their undivided attention rather than fitting you in between services. We’ll walk you through the room configurations, go over the package menus, and cover anything relevant to your specific event. To arrange a time, mention your preferred day in your initial enquiry, and we’ll confirm an appointment that works for everyone involved.

A $300 holding deposit is required to confirm your function booking and is paid once availability for your chosen date has been confirmed. All bookings operate on a first-come, first-served basis, so the deposit is what actually holds your spot. Changes to guest numbers must reach us no later than 24 hours before the event; reductions below the confirmed count after that point are charged at the per-head food portion. Cancellations submitted with less than 48 hours’ notice forfeit the full holding deposit.

Yes, and across a range of event formats. Seated dinners, standing cocktail gatherings, and client lunches all work well in the space. Shared Italian menus are naturally suited to groups with varied dietary preferences, and a projector is on hand for any presentations or business components your event requires. When you enquire, include the date, format, guest count, and any AV or layout requirements, and our event organiser will put together a tailored package.

Every package is structured around shared Italian menus. Before the event, you select your preferred dishes from each course, and on the day, those choices arrive as shared plates across the table, the most Italian way there is to eat. Menus are built around seasonal produce and serve as a guide, meaning minor changes may occur; specific requests are genuinely considered wherever possible. Where a drinks package is added, unlimited beverages from within the selected tier are available for 3 hours from the start of your event. All other drinks are charged on consumption, and RSA is enforced throughout.

There’s no minimum timeframe for getting in touch, though earlier bookings are strongly recommended, popular dates move quickly, and availability is strictly first-come, first-served. Once you send through your date, occasion, and approximate guest numbers, the team will confirm what’s available and outline the next steps. Your booking is officially secured once the holding deposit has been received.

Gluten-free and vegetarian options are available throughout the function menu. For a detailed look at what each package includes, start with the function menu. Any specific allergies or requirements that sit outside the standard options should be raised at the enquiry stage. Our event organiser will confirm exactly what can be prepared for your group in advance, so the day itself runs without complications.

Outside cakes are welcome, with a cakeage fee of $3 per person. Decorating the space is entirely encouraged; banners, balloons, centrepieces, signage, and personal touches of any kind are all welcome. There’s no restrictive décor policy here. The one firm rule is that BYO food and beverages, other than the cake, aren’t permitted; all other food and drinks must come from our function menus.

These are among the occasions we handle most comfortably at Aperitivo on Norton Street, Leichhardt. Christenings, baptisms, first communions, and broader family celebrations all find a natural home in the private dining room, which is set up for the generous, communal style of Italian dining these occasions deserve. Handmade pasta, wood-fired pizza, and antipasti were served as shared plates to the whole group. Send through your date, occasion type, and estimated guest numbers, and we’ll put together a package to suit.

The private dining space caters to a minimum of 10 and a maximum of 140 guests. Depending on the format of your event, the room can be arranged for seated dining or a standing cocktail-style layout. There’s no additional charge for reserving the private room; you’ll simply need to meet a minimum spend that varies by day and time of booking. Food and beverages combined count toward this amount, and if the minimum isn’t reached on the day, a room hire fee applies instead.

Metered street parking is available along Norton Street and throughout the adjacent side streets in Leichhardt. Worth flagging to your guests in advance: Norton Street parking is free after 7 pm, which suits most evening functions perfectly. A quick note in your event invitation or group chat saves everyone the guesswork on arrival night.
