Authentic Italian & Mediterranean Dining in Parramatta
Established in 2005, Restaurant 317 was founded to address the lack of trusted dining options for Coeliac individuals in Sydney. Our mission has always been to create an inclusive space where dietary restrictions are met with quality, accessible cuisine. Over nearly two decades, we have grown to become Parramatta's longest-standing restaurant on Church Street, renowned for our halal-certified, coeliac-accredited Mediterranean and Italian fare. Our team prioritises sourcing seasonal produce and authentic ingredients, blending global influences with modern Australian culinary practices.We pioneered a colour-coded system to eliminate cross-contamination, setting industry standards for food safety. With a focus on family-style dining and exceptional hospitality, we cater to diverse dietary needs including vegan, vegetarian, and pescatarian preferences. Our venue accommodates private functions with tailored menus and dedicated event coordination, maintaining the same commitment to inclusivity and quality that defined our founding principles.

Coeliac Accredited Dining
As Australia's first Coeliac Australia-accredited restaurant, we implement a strict colour-coded system using red (gluten) and turquoise (gluten-free) utensils throughout preparation and service. Our kitchen maintains separate cooking zones and storage facilities to guarantee zero cross-contamination. This comprehensive approach allows coeliac patrons to dine with complete confidence while enjoying contemporary Mediterranean-Italian cuisine.
Halal Certified Cuisine
Our halal certification covers all meat and chicken dishes, with dedicated preparation areas for pork products to maintain strict dietary compliance. Separate storage, cooking equipment, and serving protocols ensure adherence to halal standards. This certification enables Muslim patrons to enjoy our Italian-Mediterranean fusion menu in a fully compliant environment.
Private Function Hosting
We offer seven distinct event spaces accommodating 18-65 guests, including our Grand Function Room and outdoor Laneway area. Our in-house coordinator manages custom menus, beverage packages, and dcor arrangements. Dietary requirements are seamlessly integrated into event planning, with options for semi-private lounges or full venue hire with exclusive access.
Vegan & Vegetarian Options
Our menu features extensive vegan and vegetarian selections crafted from seasonal produce. Dishes like vegan bruschetta and plant-based pasta alternatives demonstrate our commitment to plant-forward cuisine. These options are prepared using dedicated kitchen equipment to maintain dietary integrity while delivering authentic Mediterranean flavours.
Takeaway & Delivery
The complete menu is available for takeaway via phone orders, with pickup from our Parramatta location. For home delivery, we partner with Uber Eats and DoorDash platforms. Our packaging maintains food quality during transit, ensuring customers enjoy the same restaurant-standard meals in their preferred dining environment.
