About Roccella Bundoora

Roccella Bundoora is an all-day Italian restaurant and pizzeria on Janefield Drive in the Uni Hill town centre. The kitchen turns out wood-fired pizza on long-fermented sourdough, handmade pasta and southern Italian dishes, from breakfast through to late, seven days. The restaurant has several function spaces, and the team shapes each event around your numbers. La Sala sits at the back of the restaurant under a 10-metre ceiling and an 80-light chandelier, seating 70 or holding 80 standing, and it suits weddings and celebrations. Bella Vista is a raised space that looks down over the restaurant, taking 100 seated or 110 standing, with AV, a screen, microphones and a lectern included. The Terrace mixes indoors and outdoors as an alfresco room for 80 seated or 90 standing, while The Arches, tucked beneath the balcony, takes 22 seated. Event menus are shared Italian banquets. Il Primo at $75 per person brings antipasti, arancini or lamb croquettes and pasta, Il Secondo at $95 per person swaps in mains, and Il Grande at $125 per person includes pasta and mains with dessert. Stand-up cocktail menus cost $75 for six items or $95 for eight, and there is a breakfast buffet for daytime events. Beverage packages run for two or three hours, starting at $45 per person for house wines with Italian and Australian beers, or you can pre-select drinks on consumption. Every dish can be made gluten free and the venue is coeliac accredited. Minimum spends cover food and drinks. Singers or small acoustic acts can be arranged with the functions manager, so send an enquiry to book or organise a walkthrough.
