The Colossseum is situated five minutes from Gisborne city in the heart of the fresh produce growing area and vineyards. We have a fantastic outdoor garden and a large lawn backed by grape vines and the Waipoa River.

We can cater for up to 110 guests in our spacious open dining room. There are two raised stages at each end of the building ideal for presentations, displays, or elevated seating. We have a large bar that boasts the regions best wines and beer, and a separate buffet room creating extra space and flow for large groups. Weather you want a intermit dinner, a get together with friends or large group booking we will be happy to accommodate.
Our influence is New Tuscany, our passion is East Coast. Renowned head chef and owner Mark Gardner creates our unique menu using the finest natural ingredients sourced from our garden and neighboring farms. Fusing Mediterranean styled cuisine with kiwi creativity.
We do our best to create an environment that brings happiness and joy to our customers, our staff, and the community through great hospitality, service, fine food, and wine.

One Review for Colosseum Banquet & Bistro

2nd March 2012

We had my mother’s 60th birthday lunch at the Colosseum and a fantastic time was had by all. Mark and the staff were very friendly and easy to deal with and they were able to cater to our needs with no troubles at all. They don’t normally do buffet lunches but when I told them our requirements, they assured me that there would be no problems and that’s exactly what we got (or didn’t get as the case maybe) – a trouble free experience! The food was excellent, the staff were friendly, courteous and very efficient, and this wonderful venue provided the perfect atmosphere to celebrate a family occasion. Many, many thanks to Mark and the staff from Colosseum for the fantastic venue, service and food. I cannot rave about them enough and would have no hesitation in recommending this location for a special family event.
