Events & Private Hire — Christchurch
A Negroni bar on Level 1. An open-kitchen restaurant on Level 2. Italian in spirit — without the clichés.
What we host
Sit-down or standing, intimate or the whole building — we shape the night around you. Hover to explore.








The spaces
Take a single floor for a focused gathering, or the whole building for a night that moves.
Level 1
A low-lit room built around the bar — Negronis stirred to order, spritzes by the tray, and the easy hum of a good crowd. Made for cocktail functions and arrivals.
Level 2
An open-kitchen dining room where the pasta is rolled in view and the long table comes into its own. The heart of any seated dinner or celebration.
A glimpse
A taste of the room when it's full and the night is in full swing.
Aperitivo hour
The Negroni bar is the front door to every Franco night. Stirred classics, spritzes by the tray and a Campari-leaning list to greet your guests as they arrive.
