Balwyn Birthday Party Venues, Compared

Choosing the Right Birthday Party Venue

Pizza, pasta and a spritz make an easy birthday table at Birichino, an Italian cucina and pizzeria at 355 Whitehorse Road, Balwyn. Once a group passes 25 guests it becomes a private function, and the whole restaurant can be reserved for a lunch event on any day except Friday or for dinner on a Monday.

Ways to shape a birthday at Birichino:

  • A long seated lunch: function service runs from midday to 4pm, at long tables down one side of the room under vintage Italian posters.
  • Private from 25: once the group passes 25 guests, Birichino treats the booking as a private function.
  • Stand-up and mingle: grazing spreads can be laid out along the bar for a birthday on its feet rather than a seated meal.
  • Shared courses: set menus open with cured meats and fried antipasto such as arancini, croquettes and calamari, then pizza and pasta for every two guests.
  • Something sweet: the higher set menu adds a shared dessert board and coffee, just before the candles come out.

Set menus start from $50 per person, and the kitchen can build a custom menu for special requirements. The drinks list covers Italian and Australian wines, Italian beers, spritzes, negronis and an espresso martini.

Family birthdays around the table

  • Grandparents and grandkids can share the same platters, since the set menus at Birichino are served to share.
  • A lunch event suits families who would rather finish by late afternoon, with function service wrapping up at 4pm.
  • Larger groups booking a Friday, Saturday or public holiday also dine from the set menu, so the order is settled before guests arrive.
  • Where a guest has special requirements, the kitchen can put together a custom menu.

A night out with friends

  • A stand-up night with grazing along the bar suits a 30th or 40th where people want to move around.
  • Negronis, spritzes and an espresso martini make an Italian-style toast for the birthday guest.
  • Fully licensed, the restaurant pours Italian and Australian wines alongside Italian beers.
  • Celebrating on a Monday? That is the night the whole restaurant can be reserved for dinner, from 5pm to 9pm.
