The venue & restaurant was originally established in 1971, by a group of Italian immigrants with the main objective of getting together on a weekly basis and participating in sporting and social activities among themselves.

Between 1971 and 1974, the membership of the Club flourished through bocce competitions, social activities and as a result of donations and other fundraising activities, in 1971, 3.5 acres of land (the present site of the Club) was purchased.

The original club building was developed with the substantial use of money borrowed from members and considerable efforts of voluntary labour. This consisted of 8 bocce lanes, with a mezzanine floor providing a large room overlooking the bocce lanes which was regularly used by the youth group for meetings, movie nights and social occasions.
