The Italian can offer you a unique experience for your next event, from boardroom breakfasts to celebratory dinners and weddings.
The Italian has two private rooms on the mezzanine level for groups of 10 to 80. The wine room opens up directly to the courtyard and is ideal for groups of up to 30. If you enjoy al fresco dining then the courtyard is ideal, with its own private green marble bar and moveable screens of scented Chinese night jasmine, for up to 60 guests.
