This passion for community extends beyond their venues. The Momento Foundation, their charitable arm, actively supports causes close to their heart, from domestic violence shelters to university research on binge drinking. They’ve also established The Hospitality Institute of NSW, the northwest’s first hospitality training facility, ensuring a strong future workforce in the industry they love.
Looking ahead, Momento Hospitality shows no signs of slowing down. With the Oran Park Hotel under construction and new acquisitions like Friend in Hand and Nag’s Head Hotel, they’re constantly seeking opportunities to connect with new communities and share their philosophy of warm hospitality at several venues across Sydney:
Bella Vista Hotel
No exploration into Momento Hospitality’s venues could begin without mentioning the Bella Vista Hotel. This iconic establishment in The Hills District has become a go-to for locals seeking a welcoming atmosphere, delicious food, and a variety of entertainment options.
Executive Chef Cemal Erdonmez leads the kitchen, crafting a menu that caters to all appetites. Think hearty pub classics like rigatoni ragu and juicy steaks alongside lighter options like salads and Asian-inspired dishes. Don’t miss their signature pizzas, made with fresh, high-quality ingredients and boasting a perfectly crisp crust.
Sarino’s
Craving a taste of Italy without the trek into the city? Look no further than Sarino’s, a new addition to The Hills district that promises an upmarket Italian dining experience.
Located on the second floor of Mullane’s Hotel in Baulkham Hills, Sarino’s is the brainchild of Momento Hospitality CEO Marcello Colosimo. Named after his father, “Sarino,” the restaurant embodies a desire to bring a touch of elegance and sophistication to the local dining scene.
The space itself is a study in contrasts. The restaurant boasts high ceilings, expansive skylights, and plush leather seating, creating a light and airy ambience. This is juxtaposed with the intimate feel of the cocktail bar and lounge area, perfect for a pre-dinner drink or a relaxed evening with friends. Expect to find house-made pastas, succulent spit-roasted meats, and fresh seafood dishes cooked over a charcoal-fired Josper grill. For those who appreciate the finer things, there’s even a dedicated antipasti menu featuring artisan cured meats and cheeses from both Italy and Australia.
Fire & Brimstone
Looking for a taste of Americana without leaving Sydney? Look no further than Fire & Brimstone, the Hills District’s first dedicated low and slow-barbecue restaurant.
Perched on the rooftop of the recently renovated Hillside Hotel, Fire & Brimstone offers a casual and welcoming atmosphere perfect for a relaxed night out with friends. The star of the show here is, without a doubt, the barbecue. Pitmaster Brad Shorten knows his craft, slow-smoking brisket, short rib, chicken wings, and pork belly to succulent perfection.
These smoky delights are perfectly complemented by classic Southern-style sides like creamy mac and cheese, tangy coleslaw, and crisp pickles. For those with a hearty appetite, there’s the “Brimstone Feast,” a generous spread of meats and sides perfect for sharing amongst friends.
Hilly’s Pizza
Forget the frozen aisle and delivery disappointments. Hilly’s Pizza, nestled within the Hillside Hotel, is your gateway to authentic Italian-style pizza in the heart of The Hills.
Step inside Hilly’s and you’re greeted by the warm aroma of wood smoke and bubbling mozzarella. The open kitchen allows you to witness the magic firsthand – skilled pizzaiolos tossing and twirling dough before feeding it into the fiery embrace of the wood-fired oven. The result? Pizzas with blistered, airy crusts that are both delightfully chewy and satisfyingly crisp.
