25 Best Italian Restaurants in Bali (2026): Ubud, Seminyak, Canggu & More

Set at COMO Uma Ubud, west of the town center, Uma Cucina looks out over the Tjampuhan valley and the Oos River. The rustic, Italian-inspired restaurant and lounge bar works as well for a long lunch as for dinner, and the menu is built for sharing: hand-thrown pizzas from the brick oven, handmade pasta and risotto, and traditional desserts.

Start with the gnudi, ricotta dumplings with pumpkin, ginger and fried sage, or the local burrata with fire-roasted peppers. Bucatini with a Tuscan short-rib ragù and Black Angus meatballs baked in the brick oven are the heartier picks. On Thursday nights, Bistecca and Blues pairs a 21-day dry-aged porterhouse with live blues, and Sunday brings a long Italian brunch. The menu marks vegan, gluten-free and pork dishes.

A forest view frames the tables at Habitat Bistro Ubud, a modern bistro set within Kaamala Resort Ubud that takes Italian cooking as its main inspiration. The menu runs from snacks and starters to pasta, risotto and pizzetta. Gnocchi Alfredo, linguine vongole and a prawn risotto share the pasta page with pici verde and pappardelle alla ragù, while the mushroom pizzetta comes with a truffled cheese sauce and egg yolk.

The calendar gives you reasons to linger. Through December 2026, Tuesdays and Thursdays are Pasta Days, pairing a pasta with a signature cocktail, and cocktails are buy-one-get-one-free during the sunset happy hour from 5 PM to 7 PM. Diners also get complimentary pool access with no minimum spend, and the whole venue can be reserved for up to 38 guests.

Just east of central Ubud, Genio by Twist bakes thin-crust pizzas in an open-fire brick oven, with a short list of pastas alongside. The team behind Twist, a restaurant in Ubud, runs it as a pizza-and-pasta spin-off, and the kitchen opens early, so breakfast, lunch and dinner are all covered.

Pizza is the main event, and the pancetta and garlic pie is the menu highlight. The room is casual, and because it sits away from the busier lanes near the Monkey Forest, it is an easy dinner stop for anyone staying on the east side of town. Tables can be booked online for busy nights. Pizza lovers can find more addresses in the guide to the best pizza in Bali.

Near the Monkey Forest, L'Osteria Pizza e Cucina Ubud serves rustic Italian cooking in the center of town. Neapolitan pizzas rise on a sourdough starter, or lievito madre, and the fresh pasta is made in-house. The Ubud restaurant is one of six L'Osteria branches in Bali, and it is equally good for a romantic dinner or a quick lunch.

The showpiece is tonnarelli cacio e pepe, finished at your table when the chef is available. Lobster ravioli in lobster bisque with burrata cream and a classic lasagna alla bolognese are the richer choices, and the burrata pizza, topped with a whole burrata and confit cherry tomatoes, crowns the pizza list. The menu marks vegetarian and gluten-free dishes, gluten-free pasta is available, and pork-free options such as beef pepperoni are clearly labeled.

The Italian Riviera is the theme at Portofino Ubud, south of the town center, where pasta is made by hand and pizzas come out of a wood-fired oven every day. The menu stays classic, with starters, pasta, pizza and a handful of mains such as veal scaloppine and a grilled beef skirt steak, and the kitchen serves straight through from lunch to dinner.

Homemade beef lasagna and rigatoni with lamb ragù are the comfort picks, while pumpkin and chorizo ravioli in burnt-sage brown butter and rigatoni alla vodka round out the pasta list. From the oven, the quattro formaggi pizza arrives with truffle honey and chili. Several dishes are marked vegetarian. Walk-ins are welcome, but a reservation online or by WhatsApp secures a table on busy evenings.

Thin-crust pizza and pasta at budget prices are the draw at Warung Citta Ovest, a small, casual warung in central Ubud. It has the feel of a neighborhood pizzeria rather than a formal restaurant, with a short menu and no ceremony, which makes it an easy lunch between sights or a low-key dinner after a day of walking.

The pizzas are thin and well loaded, and the pasta leans light rather than rich. Alongside the Italian classics, a few toppings take a fusion turn, so check the menu if a traditional Margherita is what you are after. No official menu is published online, so confirm prices when you order. For more inexpensive meals around the island, see the guide to cheap eats in Bali.

Puglia sets the tone at MAURI, the Seminyak restaurant of chef Maurizio Bombini, whose seasonal menus follow the cooking of his home region in southern Italy. Dinner offers two five-course tasting menus, Signature and Discovery, plus a vegetarian tasting menu and an à la carte list. Lunch is served on Fridays and Saturdays, and a seated brunch runs on Sundays.

The Signature menu includes the tonno starter, Parmigiano ravioli, merluzzo “pizzaiola” and tiramisu. The Discovery menu goes further, with aged red mullet crudo and Oscietra caviar, ravioli carbonara and Black Angus tenderloin. On the à la carte list, risotto alla Milanese sits beside roast suckling pig and a wagyu costata. Brunch rotates weekly between Classic, Coastal and Meat Lover's menus, and a children's menu is available. Reserve ahead, especially for weekends.

Enrico Bartolini, a chef whose restaurants hold 14 Michelin stars, designed the menu at Amici Bali in Seminyak, and head chef Alessandro D'Amico runs the kitchen. Every pasta is made fresh daily and bronze-cut in-house, and the menu covers antipasti, pizza, ravioli and risotto, seafood and a grill of Tokusen wagyu.

The house ravioli al tovagliolo, served without sauce and eaten by hand, is the dish that defines the place. For something richer, try duck ravioli with saffron sauce and pear mostarda or tagliatelle with lobster; the crudo e burrata pizza tops the pizza list. Groups who want a showpiece can share a wagyu tomahawk from the grill. Doors open late morning, so a long lunch is as easy as dinner.

Southern Italy, and Puglia in particular, shapes the cooking at Zia Tina, inside KLEO Seminyak, part of JdV by Hyatt. Antipasti arrive for the table, pizzas have a thin crust, and handmade pasta comes in two sizes, so you can order a lighter plate or a full main. Secondi are grilled over charcoal or slow-cooked, and the kitchen serves breakfast too.

The house pizza, topped with burrata, prosciutto crudo and arugula, is the signature, followed by pappardelle al ragù, octopus alla Luciana and slow-cooked lamb shoulder. Vegan mozzarella pizzas are on the menu as well. Il Nipote Bar handles aperitivo, with buy-one-get-one-free cocktails from 4 PM to 6 PM, and Thursday is Unplugged night, with music. Well-behaved dogs are welcome, and the restaurant runs cooking classes and hosts kids' birthdays.

Few Italian restaurants in Bali sit this close to the water. La Lucciola faces the sea from the beach beside the 15th-century Petitenget Temple in Seminyak, and it serves breakfast, lunch and dinner every day, with sunset the moment most diners plan around.

Timing matters, because the restaurant works mostly on a walk-in basis after too many no-shows. Arrive at 5 PM for a sunset table or come after 8 PM. At busy times, expect a wait of around 30 minutes, and plan on a two-hour seating; tables take up to eight guests. Dinner calls for relaxed smart casual, and the room is non-smoking. The Fire Fly Room hosts private dinners for up to 40 people. For more tables with a view, see the best romantic restaurants in Bali.

At Rustica Cucina Italiana in Seminyak, the cooking is home-style and the menu is built around choice. The homemade pasta comes in a range of shapes, from cavatelli, trofie and orecchiette to tagliatelle and gnocchi, and you pair your shape with a sauce, from aglio olio to carbonara and bolognese.

The signature lasagna is made with crepes and fresh mozzarella, and the pappardelle tricolore alla Luigina, colored with spinach and beet, comes with porcini and Italian ham. Porchetta alla Rustica leads the secondi. Gluten-free gnocchi, tagliatelle, lasagna and pizza are available on request, children have their own menu, and the kitchen serves all day until late, which makes Rustica an easy choice for families staying in Seminyak.

One long table and a set menu inspired by La Nonna Carmela make dinner at Sa'Mesa Canggu feel more like a family gathering than a night out. Guests sit together, strangers included, and the Experience Dinner brings 14 to 18 Italian dishes to the table family-style over several courses, with house-made limoncello poured freely.

A single price covers the food: IDR 599,000++ per guest, with half price for children aged 7 to 13 and no charge for younger children. Drinks are extra, and outside alcohol is not allowed. Gluten-free pastas and breads are available, and vegan guests get a fully reworked menu. Walk-ins are not accepted, and the night tends to turn into a party, so book ahead and come hungry. Valet parking is available.

Brick walls built to look like a classic stone oven give Cantina Classe Canggu its character. The Italian restaurant of Astera Resort Canggu serves handmade pizza and pasta, sharing plates and cocktails, with a daytime menu of breakfast plates and sandwiches before the all-day Italian menu takes over.

The headline pasta is the fettuccine truffle carbonara, finished with a 200-gram rib eye and white truffle butter. The two-sheet lasagna verde layers beef brisket bolognese with spinach béchamel, and the honey four-cheese pizza is the pick from the oven. Smoked duck spiedini and prosciutto arancini start things off. Cocktails are buy-two-get-one-free during the daily happy hour, groups of four or more celebrating a birthday get a treat, and the whole venue can be booked for up to 55 guests.

Fresh pasta, made your way, is the idea behind Bottega Italiana Batu Bolong, a small pasta bar in Canggu that describes its food as gourmet Italian home cooking. Pick a fresh pasta shape, then a sauce, from a simple pomodoro e basilico or pesto to amatriciana and duck ragù, or go straight to the chef's pastas and risotti.

Pappardelle with black pig ragù and caramelle filled with ossobuco are the dishes to know, and vitello tonnato and a house tiramisu bookend the meal. Salumi and cheese are sold by weight, including Renzini cured meats from Umbria. Gluten-free tagliatelle is available, and the kitchen delivers through the ride-hailing apps. Bottega has two more branches, one in Seminyak and one elsewhere in Canggu, and only those two serve gelato.

An Italian osteria crossed with a well-worn Brooklyn neighborhood hangout: that is Della Terra, a dinner-only restaurant in Pererenan, next to Canggu. Chef and co-owner Vinny Lauria writes a menu that changes daily with local, seasonal produce. Everything is made in-house, and a different chef's tasting menu is offered each night. The wine list leans natural and biodynamic.

Recent menus have opened with the house ricotta, made from raw Javanese cow's milk and served with sweet garlic and charred bread. Charcoal-grilled “grano arso” pasta, meatball-filled sacchetti in vodka sauce and a chicken cotoletta alla parmigiana show the Brooklyn side, and pork ribs from the charcoal grill anchor the mains. Prices are not published online, so ask for the day's menu when you reserve.

Il Ristorante – Niko Romito is an intimate dining room that opened at Bvlgari Resort Bali in Uluwatu in May 2025, taking the place of Il Ristorante – Luca Fantin. Dinner is the only service, and the format follows Niko Romito's concept: a four-course I Classici menu, a seven-course La Degustazione and an à la carte list.

The current menus include spaghetti with Romito's signature tomato sauce, handmade tortellini with pink prawns, butter, lemon and chives, and plin ravioli with duck, tomato, capers and olives. Among the mains are crispy Balinese suckling pig with orange caramel sauce and black cod with almond sauce and Oscietra caviar. Dress is resort smart casual. With so few tables, reserve through the resort well ahead, especially for an anniversary or a birthday. Children aged five and under are not allowed in the dining room.

A see-through cheese room sits at the heart of My Dear Clara, a 2026 opening in Uluwatu from the founders of KALA. Burrata and stracciatella are pulled there every day from Javanese milk, in plain sight of the tables, alongside a handmade pasta station, a bar for ultra-crisp Roman-style pizza and salumi cut to order. Cocktails come from a lab that works with a rotary evaporator.

Begin with burrata, then move on to duck caramelle in mushroom butter or cacio e pepe “handkerchiefs” with marinated egg yolk. The mortadella pizza comes with kale pesto, burrata and pistachio, and the pistachio tiramisu is served to share. The dress code is relaxed and refined, guests are invited to dine screen-free, and groups of more than six book by WhatsApp.

Indian Ocean views come with every course at Bene Italian Kitchen, the Italian restaurant of Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort, opposite Kuta Beach in the Beachwalk complex. The kitchen focuses on authentic Italian flavors, and the panoramic outlook over the water makes it one of the most comfortable places in Kuta to watch the sun go down over dinner.

Lunch and dinner are served daily, so it works as well for a long lunch after a surf lesson on Kuta Beach as for a sunset dinner. The dress code is smart casual, and tables can be reserved online, which is worth doing if you want a seat with the best view at sunset. To stay nearby, compare the best hotels in Kuta and Legian.

Family recipes and “Nonna's secrets” are the promise at Dolce Vita, a traditional Italian restaurant and pizzeria in south Kuta. Massimo, a chef from Sicily, runs it with his wife, Bella, and the cooking sticks to the classics: pasta, gnocchi and pizza. A separate gluten-free menu makes it one of the easier Italian kitchens in Kuta for anyone avoiding gluten.

Inside, the air-conditioned dining room is kept very cold, a relief on a hot afternoon; outside, an alfresco terrace suits a warm evening. Book ahead for dinner and plan on a two-hour table; groups of eight or more book by WhatsApp. For more places to eat in the area, see the best restaurants in Kuta.

Pizza and pasta are the whole story at Yamma Yaa, a casual Italian kitchen in the Double Six area of Legian, within walking distance of Double Six Beach. The menu keeps to the classics, and the relaxed room suits a lunch between swims or an easy dinner before a night out at one of the best bars in Kuta and Legian.

The appeal is simplicity: a plate of pasta or a pizza after a morning on the sand, with no need to dress up. Prices are not posted online, so ask at the table. For a beachfront base nearby, compare the best hotels in Kuta and Legian.

Since 1996, Massimo has been a fixture on Sanur's main strip, with its homemade gelato sold from a showcase on the sidewalk. Chef-owner Massimo Sacco comes from Lecce, in Puglia, and the long menu leans on the cooking of the Salento: antipasti, risotti, pages of pasta, fish and meat specialties and big pizzas, plus Indonesian dishes and a kids' menu.

Orecchiette al cartoccio, baked in a parcel with sea bass, white wine and thyme, is the Salento classic, and orecchiette alla Massimo comes with ricotta, cherry tomatoes, olives, anchovies and mint. A dedicated gluten-free menu includes gluten-free pasta, and the menu flags pork dishes. Pick a candlelit garden table, the long tables indoors or the air-conditioned section, and finish with a scoop from the gelato counter.

Away from the main strip, on a quiet lane in south Sanur a few minutes' walk from Cemara Beach, Bella Italia Sanur serves traditional Italian cooking with fresh pasta at its center. Homemade ravioli, gnocchi, lasagna and a slow-cooked ragù share the menu with pizza.

The room is relaxed and unfussy, and dinner gets busy in the high season, so arrive early or call ahead. Despite the shared name, it is a separate business from Bella Italia in Legian. With no menu online, ask about prices when you order. For coffee and pastries the next morning, see the best breakfast spots in Sanur.

A garden and a traditional Javanese joglo set the scene at Forketta, a family-style Italian restaurant on Sanur's main strip. Roman-style pizza leads the menu, with handmade pasta, gnocchi, ravioli and mains alongside, and local musicians play live every Thursday, Saturday and Sunday.

The Amalfi pizza with bocconcino mozzarella is a good first order, and the ravioli filled with sausage and gorgonzola is the richest pasta. For a main, try La Porchetta di Forketta, slow-braised pork belly with mash and an Italian-style chimichurri. A gluten-free pizza base is available, children get their own menu, and dogs are welcome in the outdoor area. Book by WhatsApp or walk in; delivery within Sanur is free.

Native Italian chef Michele Antonucci leads the kitchen at Prego, the Italian restaurant of The Westin Resort Nusa Dua, where the cooking leans toward southern Italy. Handmade pasta, pizzas, fresh seafood and sharing boards fill the menu, and diners choose between the indoor restaurant and a garden terrace. The mood is simple, elegant and family-friendly, with a kids' menu and a smart-casual dress code.

Coffee tagliatelle with lamb ragout and wild mushrooms is the dish to remember, and mama-style meatballs and a prosciutto and burrata pizza please every age. The standout main course is a pork belly cooked for 24 hours. On the last Sunday of each month, an Italian buffet brunch costs from IDR 690,000++ per adult, with no charge for children under six. Valet parking is available, and tables can be booked online.

Handmade pasta, classic Italian dishes and carefully chosen meat and seafood define Bella Cucina at InterContinental Bali Resort in Jimbaran, a dining room the resort recommends for intimate dinners and special occasions. The menu was refreshed in September 2026, and it splits the pasta between handmade and artisanal dried, with risotto and secondi from the land and the sea.

Beetroot tortellini and spinach pappardelle with porcini sit at the lighter end, pappardelle with wagyu ragù and lamb tortellini at the richer one. Capellini with lobster is the splurge, and the mains include Tournedos Rossini and lamb ossobuco. Lunch runs Monday to Saturday, dinner nightly and brunch on Sundays, and tables can be booked online through the resort.
