IL Gambero features thin-crust pizza, plus pasta and mains, in a sleek venue with exposed-brick walls and outdoor seats. Il Gambero on the Park has been providing diners with some of the best pizza and Italian cuisine Lygon Street has to offer. We’ve gained this reputation through the belief that you, your family and friends should never have to overpay for top quality food and service.

The Il Gambero on the Park function room is one of Lygon Street’s most desirable entertainment spaces. We specialize in birthday parties, engagements, sporting club dinners, Christmas parties and christenings.

Directly opposite Argyle Square, our balcony glass doors and wall give your guests uninterrupted views of the park. When the weather is right we can retract the roof, converting the room into Carlton’s only open air rooftop terrace.

We can cater for up to 100 guests for sit down meals and banquets. Alternatively, we can accommodate up to 180 for standing, cocktail style events with canapés. The room features an in-built PA with iPod connectivity available for no extra charge. You can arrange your own DJ but use of the equipment and speakers is permitted for professionals only.

All food is prepared in a separate kitchen upstairs, ensuring your events run smoothly and to time. For drinks, we have a fully serviced bar with a range of beers on tap, an extensive wine list and a cocktail menu that can be tailored to suit your preferences.

Our staff will make sure that your event is a great success.
