Ponti's Italian Kitchen

Originally the space was used as a car park for the offices above when the building was first constructed in circa 1968. It’s a truly unique space, so much so that we left the yellow parking bay stripes on the floor and warning signs to lock the cars on the walls. It certainly has a slightly more edgy East End vibe than luscious West End one but guests love the space and it holds comfortably 80 people standing and 45 seated (including the Private Dining Room). Being in a basement, noise is not an issue so whether it’s a cool DJ, Opera Singers, live bands we can arrange almost any form of musical entertainment. We have a separate speaker system with a roving mic too. The bar is perfectly set up to host pre drinks either before or after your breakfast, lunch or dinner. Whatever your occasion or celebration, our team will work with you to ensure you and your guests will have an unforgettable experience.

The Private Dining Room is a discreet room at the end of the Perini & Perini Bar that can be used as part of the main basement area. When closed off, it seats 10 guests in complete comfort around an antique Oak table. The room has its own 60 inch plasma TV screen, separate music and air conditioning system. We operate this room on a “Butler” style service with your own buzzer so you and your guests will not be interrupted unless calling for service. It is ideal for intimate dinners, meetings or any special small gathering.
