A modern locally owned Italian family-friendly bistro, Bam Bam Italian celebrates the Italian spirit of ‘family first’ with friendly, vibrant hospitality and fresh, seasonal Italian fare in the Dandenong Ranges.

Celebrate a quiet dinner (or those big events), and feast your way through their menu featuring antipasti, artisan pizzas, house made pasta, oven braises, and fresh salads, or simply pop in for a quick coffee, gelati or aperitivo. You’ll find Coffee Supreme on the grind, along with an ever-evolving wine, beer and cocktail list.

Surrounded by beautiful countryside and a short drive from Puffing Billy’s Emerald, Lakeside, and Gembrook stations, make a day of it and visit nearby attractions such as Emerald Lake Park, Nobelius, Cardinia Reservoir, or the Eastern Dandenong Ranges Rail Trail (great for walking and cycling).
