About Factory 51 - Italian

Housed in an industrial red-brick space in Coorparoo, Factory 51 turns casual dinners and weddings into warm, handmade Italian feasts. Guests gather around rustic tables to watch the pizzaiolo work dough before sliding pies into the wood-fired oven. The kitchen balances hearty plates with sharing menus—crispy arancini, tender calamari fritti, and bowls of capunti pasta—built to pass around the table. Next door, a dedicated private hall handles milestone celebrations under soft lighting, keeping proceedings relaxed while carafes of wine make the rounds. Dinner winds down over house-made cannoli alongside scoops of gelato.

  • Private Event Hall: Dedicated function space with hands-on coordination and rustic exposed brick for weddings and celebrations.
  • Shared Feast Menus: Family-style banquet courses feature arancini, meatballs, and generous pastas designed to share across the table.
  • Open Kitchen View: Diners can watch the kitchen team stretch dough and bake wood-fired pizzas from tableside.
