Alio

about this venue


At Alio enjoying is living. Alio is best described as a restaurant born from passion. Ashley and Tracy Hughes (brother and sister) are serving clean fresh flavours influenced from Southern Italy. Major influences arise from their time spent working at the River Cafe in London and Ashley's travels through Italy.

Weddings, parties, anything…….

With its professional service and warm, contemporary interior, Alio Restaurant is a popular venue for private parties such as birthdays and wedding receptions. But did you know that we have also hosted several corporate functions, including product launches and promotional events for leading organisations such as De Longhi, Jamie Oliver, The Farmhand Appeal, Clinique, Oxfam, T3 Fine Wines, The AIDS Foundation and Samuel Smith & Sons.

Enjoying is living……

At Alio we bring our passion for entertaining to your function. Our staff work with you to tailor function packages to suit your individual requirements. We are also happy to accomadate your requests for multimedia presentations or additional entertainment. Arrange a sit down dinner for up to 110 people, or, for a more relaxed gathering, cocktails & canapes for up to 200 people. Requests for outside catering will also be entertained.

Pure alchemy……

In 2002 Alio became a 'Chef Hatted' restaurant. The SMH has said of us: "There's nothing old-fashioned about Alio, but the spirit of Italy sings loudly in every dish….Ashley Hughes is a name to watch."

Set menus start from $48 for two courses or $58 for three courses and include our freshly baked bread and grissini, Alio signature pre-starter soup, side dishes with your mains, & tea or coffee to follow your meal. Canapes start from $7-10 per person.

Our wine list features boutique local and European wines, with function wines available upon request. Why not indulge yourself with a degustation menu? Have our Sommelier and Head Chef design a menu, selecting wines to complement each dish - a match made in heaven!
