Correction (5 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources between 4 October 2026 and 5 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.

A date night is easier to plan when you know the booking situation, the hours and the price of a main before you leave the house. This page answers one question: where in Sunbury can two people sit down to dinner, and what do the venues themselves publish about it?

There are five places, all in Sunbury, covering Italian, Mediterranean, Indian and Thai. Four are proper sit-down restaurants; the fifth, Amalfi, is a pizza shop whose own site shows pickup and delivery, so treat it as a plan B for a night in. Each one was checked against at least two sources, and every price is copied from a menu page.

None of these is described as romantic in our own words. Where a venue uses that kind of language, we quote it and say whose words they are. Accessibility details were not published on the pages we read, so ring ahead if you need them.

Itahlia — Sunbury Cinema Complex, 25-47 Horne Street, Sunbury VIC 3429

Itahlia sits inside the Sunbury cinema complex on Horne Street. Its site describes the place as suited to ‘a leisurely dinner with loved ones, a romantic date night, or a lively gathering with friends’, and it offers a Book A Table link. The dine-in menu prints Pomodoro Fresco [V] at $23.00, and its site lists Mon-Sun as 11:30AM to late. We could not find accessibility details on the sources we read.

On the menu (copied from itahliarestaurant.com.au/Itahlia-Dine-in-Menu.pdf on 4 October 2026):

  • Pomodoro Fresco [V]: $23.00
  • Frutti Di Mare: $26.00
  • Calabrese: $25.00
  • Homemade Garlic Bread [V]: $9.00

Stage: Fits a second or third date, since the site itself pitches a date night and takes bookings; plan B is whatever is on at the cinema in the same complex, so check the listings first.

Bambsh Restaurant & Cafe — Shop 11/106-126 Gap Rd, Sunbury VIC 3429

Bambsh serves a Mediterranean menu from Gap Road. Its site describes ’three curated banquet menus, each designed for sharing and perfect for groups’, and also pitches ‘a casual dinner, a family catch-up or a long lunch with friends’. The menu prints Lamb Shank at $30 and Lamb Gyros at $35, and the site lists hours as noon to nine Sunday to Thursday, and noon to ten on Friday and Saturday.

On the menu (copied from bambshrestaurant.com.au/menu on 4 October 2026):

  • Garlic Bread (V): $10
  • Lamb Shank: $30
  • Chicken Parmigiana: $28
  • Lamb Gyros: $35

Split or splurge: Garlic Bread (V) is printed at $10 for a cheap opener, then split a banquet if the site’s sharing pitch appeals; the site has a Book A Table link, so lock it in.

Flag of India — 87 O’Shanassy Street, Sunbury VIC 3429

Flag of India’s site lists hours as Tuesday to Sunday, 5:00pm to 9:30pm, so it is a dinner-only call. The site says Northern Leader awarded it Best Butter Chicken in Melbourne in 2023, and its menu prints Butter Chicken at $20.00 and Chicken Korma at $20.00. For vegetarians the site says paneer dishes are a customer favorite, and AGFG lists BYO.

On the menu (copied from order.flagofindia.com.au/menu on 5 October 2026):

  • Vegetable Samosa: $10.00
  • Bombay Crunch (V): $10.00
  • Butter Chicken: $20.00
  • Chicken Korma: $20.00

Exit plan: The site offers collection or delivery, so if the night changes shape you can take the same order home.

Siam Taste Thai Restaurant — 28-32 Gap Road, Sunbury VIC 3429

Siam Taste is on Gap Road, and OpenStreetMap tags it as a Thai restaurant. Its own website was not loading when we checked, so this entry leans on its AGFG listing, which shows 4:30 PM to 9:30 PM every day and tags it Child Friendly, Takeaway, Delivery and Functions. We could not read a menu with prices, so there is no dish to point you at.

Say this: Ring and ask whether they can seat two, because we could not find a published booking option.

Amalfi Pizza & Pasta (Sunbury) — Shop 2, 30-40 Evans Street, Sunbury VIC 3429

Amalfi is the odd one out here: its own ordering site shows pickup and delivery, with delivery listed as 04:30pm to 12:45am, and we could not find a table booking. The sunburysquare.com.au listing gives Monday to Thursday 3:00pm to 1:00am, Friday and Saturday 11:30am to 2:00am, and Sunday 12:00pm to 1:00am. The ordering page prints 5 PACK CAULIFLOWER BITES at $9.50 and CARAMEL CUSTARD BISCHOFF PUDDING at $14.50.

On the menu (copied from amalfipizza.com.au/sunbury on 4 October 2026):

  • 5 PACK CAULIFLOWER BITES: $9.50
  • BBQ DRUMETTES 6PCS: $12.50
  • PERI PERI DRUMETTES 6PCS: $12.50
  • CARAMEL CUSTARD BISCHOFF PUDDING: $14.50

Exit plan: Use it as the fallback when a booking falls through, since the listing shows late trading and the ordering page shows delivery.

Quick answers

Where can you book a table for dinner for two in Sunbury?

Itahlia and Bambsh Restaurant & Cafe both show a Book A Table link on their own sites. We could not find a published booking option for Flag of India or Siam Taste Thai Restaurant, so ring either one before you head out.

Which Sunbury restaurants are open late?

Itahlia’s site lists Mon-Sun as 11:30AM to late. Separately, sunburysquare.com.au lists Amalfi Pizza & Pasta open until 2:00am on Friday and Saturday, though its ordering site shows pickup and delivery rather than a sit-down room. Flag of India lists Tuesday to Sunday evenings only.

Is there an Indian restaurant in Sunbury for dinner?

Flag of India on O’Shanassy Street lists Tuesday to Sunday, 5:00pm to 9:30pm on its site. Its menu prints Butter Chicken at $20.00, and AGFG lists BYO. The site also offers collection or delivery if you would rather eat at home.

Where can you get Thai food for dinner in Sunbury?

Siam Taste Thai Restaurant on Gap Road is the Thai restaurant we could verify. AGFG lists it open 4:30 PM to 9:30 PM every day and tags it Child Friendly, Takeaway and Delivery. Its own website was not loading and we could not read prices, so check the menu before you go.

How we checked

We checked every place on this page against at least two independent sources between 4 October 2026 and 5 October 2026: OpenStreetMap, the places’ own websites, the Australian Good Food Guide, nandos.com.au, a delivery-platform listing, sunburysquare.com.au and honker.com.au. Every price is copied exactly as printed on the page linked under Sources, between 4 October 2026 and 5 October 2026, the date given beside each menu. Menus, prices and opening hours change, so check with the venue before you go. The cover photo is illustrative, from Unsplash, and does not show any place on this page.
