About Il Lago

Il Lago is a family-owned Italian restaurant on Century Circuit, Baulkham Hills, inside the Norwest Business Park, and has been run by the same owners since it opened in 2004. The dining room looks straight out over the lake, and an alfresco terrace sits beside the water, so most tables get the view. The kitchen, led by head chef Steven Yeomans, makes its own pasta and focuses on Northern Italian cooking, seafood and pizza. The restaurant hosts birthdays, work functions, christenings, engagements and weddings. Group bookings with a set menu suit up to 20 guests, private functions run at lunch or dinner, and the team can cater for up to 80 when the whole restaurant is reserved with a custom menu. Lunch functions run from Monday to Saturday between 12pm and 4pm, and dinner functions from 5:30pm, with guests leaving by 10:30pm. There are three set menu styles for groups of 12 or more. The pizza and pasta option is $49 per person with shared pasta platters, pizza and salad. A reduced à la carte menu costs $59 per person for two courses or $69 per person for three, with an antipasto platter available for $10 per person. Drinks packages run for three hours at $25 per person or $55 per person for the premium list. Functions are fully licensed with no BYO, decorations such as balloons and flowers are welcome (confetti is not), and the staff will cut and serve your cake at no extra cost. Dietary requirements are catered for.
