About Café Va Bene
Café Va Bene is a family-run Italian café on Lower North East Road in Campbelltown, trading since 1994. Its cooking leans on recipes handed down through the family, and it runs a separate function room for private events beside the main café. The function room has its own private bar and seats up to 50 guests, or holds 60 for a standing cocktail party. It can be set as one long table for 26, two long tables for 54, a U-shape, classroom rows or an open cocktail floor. Wifi, a whiteboard, a smart TV with HDMI, a microphone and Bluetooth music connection come with the room at no extra charge. That makes it as workable for a training day or presentation as it is for a birthday lunch. Food is Italian and served the way the group prefers: sit-down courses, shared platters, buffet or cocktail style. Set menus run from a pasta and pizza spread to a four course dinner with antipasto, pasta entrées and mains such as scotch fillet or salmon, and the kitchen adjusts for dietary needs. Drinks packages cover three or four hours of house or premium wine, beer and cider, or the host can run a bar tab to a chosen limit. Bookings run for four hours, a $200 deposit confirms the date and final numbers are due a week before.
