Private Function Rooms Near Newtown

There’s no hard deadline, but the earlier the better. Function dates at our venue are filled on a first-come, first-served basis, and popular weekends can fill up quickly. Sending through your preferred date, rough guest numbers, and occasion type is all it takes to get things moving. Our team will come back to you with availability and walk you through the next steps. Your booking is secured once the holding deposit is received.

At the core of every package is a shared Italian menu, antipasto, followed by your pre-selected mains served as shared plates for the whole table. That means no individual plating; food lands in the middle and everyone eats together, which is exactly how Italian dining is supposed to work. Menus are seasonal and serve as a guide, so minor changes may occur; requests are always considered in advance. If a drinks package is added, unlimited beverages from the selected tier are available for 3 hours from the event start time. Everything outside of that is charged on consumption, with RSA observed throughout.

Absolutely. The space works well for seated team dinners, client lunches, and standing cocktail-style corporate events. Shared menus make it easy to cater to groups with varied dietary preferences, and a projector is available for presentations should your evening have a business component. Include your date, preferred event format, guest numbers, and any AV or seating needs in your enquiry, and the team will put together a package tailored to your group.

Metered street parking is available on Norton Street and the side streets surrounding the restaurant in Leichhardt. One detail worth sharing with your guests ahead of time: parking along Norton Street is free after 7 pm, which covers most evening function timings. Passing this on in advance, especially for larger groups, makes for a smoother start to the night.

Both are welcome. Outside cakes are fine to bring in; a cakeage fee of $3 per person applies. When it comes to the room itself, personalising the space with banners, balloons, centrepieces, and signage is encouraged; there’s no restrictive décor policy. The boundary is BYO food and beverages beyond the cake; everything else on the table needs to be ordered from our function menus.

The function space accommodates between 10 and 140 guests. Layout options include seated dining for a sit-down format or a standing cocktail setup for a more relaxed, social event. Reserving the room doesn’t incur a separate fee; instead, you must meet a minimum spend that varies by day and time of booking. Food and drinks together count toward the total, and a room hire fee applies if the minimum isn’t reached on the day.

These are occasions, Aperitivo on Norton Street, Leichhardt, handled with real familiarity. Family milestones like christenings, baptisms, and communions sit comfortably alongside birthdays, engagements, and corporate events in the private dining room, which is set up for the kind of generous shared Italian spread these moments deserve. Send through your preferred date, the nature of the occasion, and an approximate guest count, and the team will put together a suitable package.

A $300 holding deposit confirms your booking once availability has been established. Spaces are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, and nothing is locked in without the deposit. Any adjustments to final guest numbers must be communicated at least 24 hours before the event; reductions after that point are charged at the per-head food portion. Cancellations made with less than 48 hours’ notice will result in the full deposit being forfeited.

Gluten-free and vegetarian options are available throughout the function menu. For the complete picture of what each package tier includes, the function menu is the best starting point. Anything beyond those standard categories, specific allergies or less common requirements should be raised when you first enquire, so the event organiser can confirm what can be prepared before the day arrives.

Yes, and we encourage it. Walkthroughs are by appointment only so our team can walk you through the room properly, layout options, package menus, and anything specific to your event, rather than squeezing it in around a busy service. To arrange a visit, include a preferred day and time when you get in touch, and we’ll confirm a suitable appointment for you and anyone else helping with the planning.
