About Maldini's By The River

Maldini's By The River sits on the bank of the Nepean River at Tench Avenue in Jamisontown, a short hop from Penrith. Named after the Italian footballer Paolo Maldini, it serves breakfast, lunch and dinner from Tuesday to Sunday, with a menu of Italian dishes, stone-cooked pizzas and a bar pouring beer on tap, more than 50 wines and cocktails. The restaurant takes functions for 10 to 200 guests. The main dining room holds 150, a private room seats 22, a semi-private section takes 36 and a covered alfresco area fits 60, so a group can have a corner of the restaurant or much more of it. Taking over a whole area or part of one exclusively may attract a room hire fee or minimum spend. The events team plans birthdays, engagements, weddings, christenings, baby showers, kitchen teas, wakes, Christmas parties and corporate workshops. Menus are served for the table. The Sophia at $60 per person brings starters, two shared pastas and pizzas, and The Bellucci at $70 adds alternate-serve mains. The Paolo at $87 includes antipasto, oysters and a choice of entrées and mains, and The Roman Feast at $89 is a family-style spread for 10 to 22 people. Desserts add $10 to $12 per person, and children's meals are $25. Drinks can go on a bar tab or a three-hour package from $15 to $49 per person. A $10 per person deposit secures the date, and final numbers are due 72 hours before.
