The name MANFREDI is synonymous with modern Italian cuisine, with chef Stefano Manfredi and restaurateur Julie Manfredi Hughes designing and operating restaurants under this banner in Sydney for more than two decades.

Bells at Killcare has earned a reputation at the forefront of the New South Wales regional dining since the Manfredi team took the helm and opened the restaurant in 2007. Now badged Manfredi at Bells, the restaurant takes Manfredi’s urban sensibilities and transplants them to a quintessentially Australian contemporary coastal setting just one and a half hours north of Sydney.

Located at the heart of the Bells at Killcare Boutique Hotel, Restaurant & Spa, Manfredi at Bells commands a prominant position in the Manor House with an elegant dining room and verandah over looking expansive manicured gardens.

The restaurant menu is grounded in the core Manfredi values of authenticity, simplicity and freshness, featuring seasonal dishes inspired by the produce grown and harvested in the estate’s famous vegetable garden, known as Stefano’s garden.

It was this garden   – now some 500 square meters and supplying the restaurant with more than 15% of the produce on its menu, and the ensuing sustainable practices across the entire Bells at Killcare operation, including  50 free range hens  which supply  the fresh eggs - that saw Manfredi at Bells honoured with the Good Living Sustainability Award at the 2012 Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide Awards. The estate now also includes a recently planted orchid with the addition of honey bee hives.

In addition to this estate-grown produce, the Manfredi at Bells menu features locally harvested seafood including Hawkesbury River oysters and crayfish caught off nearby Macmasters Beach, Gundooee Wagyu beef from the Central Tablelands and Bangalow Sweet Pork from the Northern Rivers. Local likeminded farmers are also supported supplying  staples such as  as organic beans and snow peas.

The 2012 Good Food Guide Awards also recognised the restaurant’s excellent wine list, naming it Best Regional Wine List for its impressive cellar and collection of both local and international – particularly Italian – wines.

Manfredi at Bells has retained its One Chefs Hat status since its first year of operation in 2008.

Manfredi at Bells is open to the public for dinner seven nights from 6pm and lunch three days from 12noon (Friday, Saturday and Sunday).

Bells at Killcare in-house guests may enjoy a Manfredi at Bells breakfast seven mornings a week.  Only recently introduced, Manfredi at Bells breakfast offers a delicious array of authentic dishes, estate-baked breads, tarts and pastries, homemade muesli, jams and preserves and freshly laid eggs from the Bells chooks.
