About Casa Nova Honeysuckle

Casa Nova Honeysuckle is an Italian restaurant at 20/1 Honeysuckle Drive, Newcastle, right on the harbour. The kitchen is known for pasta made by hand and pizza from a wood-fired oven, and the menu also runs to seafood, steaks, ribs, burgers and vegan and vegetarian dishes. Wines lean on New South Wales vineyards, with tap beers from around the world. For functions, the Honeysuckle restaurant offers waterfront rooms that take anything from an intimate dinner to a grand celebration of up to 200 guests. Inside, the room is modern, with timber tables and the restaurant's neon signature over a curved feature wall; outside, umbrella-shaded tables sit beside the water where the yachts are moored. The team hosts milestone birthdays, anniversaries, engagements, Christmas parties, corporate lunches and wedding celebrations, and its function rooms are set up with presentation technology for work events. Groups of 15 or more order from set menus: two courses from $45.90 per person, three courses from $65.90, a four-course option, and a set menu for children. Hosts can add a welcome drink for each guest on arrival or choose a function drinks package (standard, premium, deluxe or a soft beverage package with mocktails and barista coffee). Casa Nova also caters off-site with pasta and wood-fired favourites. To plan an event, send the details through the function enquiry and the team will come back with options.
