Hugo Dining offers a warm and stylish setting for private functions in the heart of Essendon. Located on Mount Alexander Road, the Italian restaurant is well suited to birthdays, engagements, christenings, anniversaries, corporate events and other special occasions, with flexible spaces that can accommodate both intimate gatherings and larger seated events.

Guests can celebrate in Hugo’s main dining room, which seats up to 90 people, or in La Piazza, the restaurant’s covered and heated Italian courtyard, which seats up to 60 people. The space feels relaxed, welcoming and full of atmosphere, making it a great choice for events that still want the energy and hospitality of a neighbourhood restaurant.

Functions at Hugo are centred around a generous Italian sharing menu, with entrees, pasta, pizza and mains served Feed Me style. There is no separate venue fee, with events instead based around a set menu, and guests can order from Hugo’s full drinks list, including cocktails, wine and imported beers.
