You cannot help to be mesmerised by the beauty of the place at night, set as it is in a lagoon that is actually a bird sanctuary with exotic birds both out on the water and housed inside the restaurant itself. The walkway over the water is a wondrous beginning to an exciting evening of Italian cuisine, the likes of which you will not most likely have enjoyed before.

Inside all eyes immediately head upwards to the roof, an incredible 30 feet high painstakingly created in a Palopa style (thatched) by local craftsmen. More than 100,000 local silver thatch palm leaves were used in the construction of the roof. The rest of the décor is a harmonious balance of natural materials such as stone and wood, creating an idyllic oasis up in West Bay.

Bearing all this in mind, there is not really any better place on island to house that special party event than Pappagallo – the spacious surroundings of the restaurant and attention to detail displayed by the staff give you the opportunity to really go to town and impress your guests/employees etc.  

The best part about holding a special event at the restaurant is that Pappagallo staff really are old hands in the business of giving parties. As well as fixed menu prices depending on size of the party and what you are looking for food-wise, you can also hire audio-visual equipment, floral displays, and even the entertainment via the restaurant.

The entire restaurant (which is actually made up of three separate dining areas) can be hired out to a maximum of 250 people, so it really gives you the ability to think big.

If your party is a little smaller in size, there’s the Observation Deck which sits just before the entrance to the restaurant with sweeping views of the surrounding water. This can accommodate up to 150 guests and is the perfect location for buffet-style parties.

The Pappagallo Room is the smallest room and can seat from between 40 to 55 people in an intimate setting. The Flamingo Room enjoys cooling breezes from the water overlooking the Garden Patio and can seat up to 160 guests. The Garden Patio itself is a gorgeous screened in patio which is the perfect venue for a really happening party, with the capacity to include a DJ or live band and the capacity to hold around 160 guests.

Whether you are celebrating your anniversary with your special someone, a birthday party with a few good friends or a big event that needs to house your entire staff, the versatile Pappagallo restaurant is a great choice.
