Belluci's Manuka

Belluci’s Manuka is an Italian restaurant on the corner of Franklin and Furneaux streets, offering a traditional Italian dining experience with a contemporary touch. Its cooking is described as rustic and Italian, combining local produce with selected international ingredients rather than focusing on a narrowly defined menu style.

The restaurant has been part of Canberra’s dining scene for more than 20 years and traces its establishment to 1988. Belluci’s presents itself as an Italian food institution built around a personal, timeless approach to dining. Its gallery highlights both the food and the restaurant’s fit-out, giving visitors a sense of a considered space as well as the cooking.
