Asking for the best restaurants for Italian food in Bali is asking for a long list, indeed. We’re still determining when Italian dishes became so popular in this corner of Southeast Asia, but they really are.
So, we’ve put together a list of the 40 best Italian restaurants in Bali, and we think you’re going to find some amazing food in amazing settings for any budget.
Where To Find Authentic Italian Cuisine In Bali?
Italian Restaurants In Canggu
Bondi @ FINNS Beach Club
FINNS don’t have a dedicated Italian restaurant, but we do have plenty of Italian cuisine on our international menus and a dedicated kitchen for it.
Everything is made with fresh ingredients and our customers say the food is absolutely outstanding. The most popular place in FINNS to eat from our Italian Kitchen is Bondi but you can order Italian food anywhere in the venue and it will be brought to you.
It’s the perfect place to come for some Italian food before you party on the beach or if you’ve got a friend who wants something other than Italian food.
Not only do we say this, but guests have also voted Bondi as the number one Italian restaurant in Canggu AND the entirety of Bali on Tripadvisor.

Cantina Classe
The folks at this Italian restaurant are all about authentic Italian cuisine and it shows. You get excellent fresh pasta and wood-fired pizzas for a reasonable price.
You could easily go for a romantic dinner here or stop by with friends to enjoy the delicious food.
We really enjoyed their pesto chicken and mushroom pasta and were glad of their tasty tiramisu for dessert too!

Bottega Italiana
Bottega Italiana has homemade pasta, which is a real highlight of eating at this excellent Italian restaurant. Try the crema zucchini for fresh pasta that will blow your mind!
We also really enjoyed the gnocchi with the cherry tomatoes and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to someone else dining at Bottega Italiana.
It is a little pricey, but we feel that you get what you pay for at Bottega Italiana, where authentic Italian food is guaranteed in every bite.

Luigi’s Hot Pizza
If your idea of great Italian cuisine is simply lots of pizza, then you can go right to Luigi’s.
The pizzas here are reasonably priced and very nicely presented. It can get super busy here in the evening and you might want to book in advance.
We can also recommend the frozen margaritas as the perfect accompaniment to your pizzas.

Via Emilia
Italian restaurants in Bali are similar to Via Emilia. We love the antipasti choices and their cold cuts are sublime.
We’ve always found their service to be excellent too and the pizza and homemade pasta are excellent.
However, we have to confess we think that their desserts don’t quite live up to the standard set by the rest of the menu.
So, enjoy the free bread they give you to start and don’t feel obliged to save some room for sweet stuff.

Italian Restaurants In Jimbaran
PEPeNERO Cucina Italiana
This authentic Italian restaurant in Bali is one of the most popular in Jimbaran. We assume that’s because it’s very good value for money!
It’s just a stone’s throw from the beach if you want to drop in after a day of sunning yourself and their garlic bread is a really good option for your starter.
This restaurant offers a solid range of fresh salads as well as pizzas and pasta.

This is one of the best Italian restaurants in Bali for watching the Indian Ocean while you eat.
Their authentic Italian cuisine covers a very broad range of Italian food, including antipasti, wood-fired pizzas, homemade pasta, seafood, meat dishes, parmesan cheese and tasty desserts to delight your taste buds.
Check out the lobster pasta for a taste of Italy that you will remember.

Bendigo Cafe
This charming place is one of the best Italian restaurants in Bali, for sure. Their staff is amongst the most helpful and kind groups of people on the island and remember Bali is famous for its hospitality.
They do a surprisingly good steak for an Italian restaurant and we can heartily recommend their fusion of Indonesian and Italian food.
We should also take a second to say that their coffee is really good too and has that authentic Italian feel to it.

Koffietons
Koffietons is a cafe that uses fresh ingredients to create simple home-cooked meals.
Their meatballs in tomato sauce are a fantastic example of the hearty fare on offer.
The good news is that this stop on your Bali culinary journey will be very cost-effective as it’s super cheap, even though the food tastes like it should be more expensive!

Italian Restaurants In Kerobokan
La Casetta
This is a gourmet place and one of our favourite Italian restaurants, if not our favourite Italian restaurant on the island.
It’s great for a romantic dinner or just to hit the spot when you fancy some Italian fine dining.
The gnocchi here is so light that one person we know says, “it tasts like what I imagine clouds to taste like!”

Banger Place – Pizza X Art X Love
This place strives to deliver a modern presentation and twist to classic Italian cuisine.
It’s a very eclectically designed space which is clearly aimed at the youthful crowd that it attracts.
You’ll need to make a reservation if you want to guarantee a seat in the evening when it can get very busy indeed.

Anita’s
Anita’s stands out among other Italian restaurants in Bali because they’re fearless in adding some local flavour to the authentic Italian food that they serve.
Anyone who has tried Anita’s Pizza Celeng Telor will immediately add Anita’s to their list of the best Italian restaurants that they’ve ever tried.
Italian food with a Balinese spin is the way forward for Italian cuisine in Bali, we think.

Italian Restaurants In Kuta
Cibo! Cucina Deli Gelateria
Italian restaurants in Bali are relatively easy to find than Cibo! But you’ll be glad you made the effort.
We were really pleased with the beef cheeks, which were delicious and presented in a really enticing fashion.
All the pasta is homemade and you can tell. The famous gelato they serve is what draws people in, mind you, but it’s the rest of the menu that gets them to stay.
Our only complaint is that the music can be a little loud at times.

Rosso Vivo Dine & Lounge
If you want live music with your Italian cuisine, then this is going to be one of the best Italian restaurants in Bali for you.
They have live DJs every night and though the service could be a lot faster than you might expect, the food is excellent.
Try the fresh seafood tuna tartare for something a little different before getting stuck into the wood-fired pizzas.

Dolce Vita Bali
You know that they’re taking the Italian thing seriously when the staff speak some Italian in Bali.
And the effort doesn’t stop there this is one of the best Italian restaurants in Bali because of the excellent Italian cuisine it serves.
And not only does it serve good food, but it serves generous portions of that food, too. Nobody ever leaves here feeling hungry.
Their Italian menu has all the dishes that you’d expect in terms of an Italian restaurant in Italy, let alone Bali. It really is a “la dolce vita” (sweet life) at Dolce Vita.

Italian Restaurants In Nusa Dua
Salsa Verde
Service at this Italian restaurant in Bali is not the fastest, so relax. You’re by the beach in a beautiful location. What’s the rush?
We really enjoyed the chili garlic prawns here and the char-grilled octopus was out of this world.
It’s a very busy spot, though and you probably want to make a reservation rather than relying on turning up to secure you a seat.

Prego
If you want a family Italian brunch in Nusa Dua, then Prego at the Westin Resort is probably the place to have it.
The Westin Resort has loads of entertainment for the little ones, including bracelet-making and magicians!
And for the adults, there’s some live music and a solid range of Italian favourites and some modern touches too.
One thing we really like about Prego is its selection of craft beers, something that the other Italian restaurants in Bali could be better at.

Sa’Mesa
There’s always a warm welcome at this best Italian restaurant in Bali and it’s a genuine reflection of the warmth of the people serving you.
They focus on communal dining and that means it’s a place to bring a big group of friends for some amazing Italian food.
You simply help yourself to any of the bountiful dishes served all night long and enjoy the free-flow limoncello, too.

Sateria Beachfront Restaurant
The Spanish hotel chain Melia is home to the Sateria Beachfront Restaurant and it’s absolutely lovely.
We’re surprised they went with Italian cuisine, given the Spanish history of the place, but we’re glad that they did.
It makes our list of the best Italian restaurants in Bali as much for its incredible view of the ocean as for its delectable pizzas.

Soleil
Soleil is an excellent option if you’re reviewing brunch options in Italian restaurants in Bali. The Mulia Hotel is a nice family-friendly environment and reasonably priced for Nusa Dua’s Italian restaurants.
You can eat all you want from the buffet and order another Italian cuisine from the menu too.
The staff is also known to be among the friendliest and most guest-accommodating in the area. Enjoy!

Italian Restaurants In Sanur
Pizzaria
Sleepy Sanur has some of the best Italian restaurants in Bali and the good news is that you won’t have to battle any crowds to enjoy this great Italian restaurant.
It’s just a few steps from the seafront and you can check out the super spectacle that is the hotel’s other major restaurant, Omang Omang too.
And the biggest surprise is that this great Italian food outlet won’t cost you an arm and a leg. Hyatt Regency Bali does the best Italian food around at a reasonable price!

Forketta
There’s definitely no need to reserve a table at this Italian restaurant located in Sanur. And that’s a bit of a surprise given the low prices, big portions and amazing Italian dishes on offer.
Try the pork chop for something a bit different and, of course, the wood-fired pizzas are excellent.
It just goes to show that you don’t need a celebrity chef to make a fantastic Italian meal.

Trattoria
Trattoria is where you go when you want pleasant outdoor seating, amazing cocktails and high-quality ingredients without paying a fortune for them.
It’s right on the beach and you’re bound to enjoy some of the best pasta in Sanur.
We’d also like to single out Trattoria for its amazing service and it’s super attentive.

The Village Cucina Italiana
If you want Italian fine dining in Sanur, then you want this Italian restaurant located on the edge of town.
Their homemade pasta is absolutely wonderful and the range of Italian dishes available is quite stunning.
We also like the fact that they have a house pianist tinkling the ivories as you enjoy the feast available at The Village.

Italian Restaurants In Seminyak
La Lucciola
If you want traditional dishes in a non-traditional setting, then La Lucciola is definitely for you.
La Lucciola is an open-air luxury hotel venue with Italian favourites rubbing shoulders with modern interpretations of classics.
It’s also rather expensive, but we’ve never met anyone who thought that La Lucciola wasn’t worth it. This Italian restaurant is truly special.

Mauri
Mauri is another truly upscale Italian restaurant in Seminyak and you will find much more than wood-fired pizzas and homemade pastas here.
The head chef is a highly knowledgeable chap and the menu is designed to be paired with their superb wine list.
If you’re new to the Italian dishes on offer, we thoroughly recommend the tasting menu, which lets you explore everything on offer at Mauri.

Da Maria
Da Maria is a very popular Italian restaurant for good reason. It has a super trendy vibe to it and they take the family nature of Italian dishes seriously.
You’ll see children being helped by their chefs to create their wood-fired pizzas and Italian dishes.
And one thing we love is that if you want the drinks to keep flowing, their staff will ensure that your wish is their command.

Settimo Cielo
We recommend the grazing menu if you go at lunchtime to Settimo Cielo, it means you get to try all the Italian dishes and pay a very reasonable price for them.
Their pizzas must be in the running for best pizza in Bali and we can’t help but sigh happily when thinking of our last meal here.
If they start handing out Michelin Stars in Bali, we think Settimo Cielo might be a shoo-in for one.

Zibiru
Zibiru has recently been refurbished and now the interior is as glamorous as the Italian dishes that they serve.
We love their rabbit pasta and would be absolutely happy to eat their seared tuna starter as a main course, it’s so tasty.
Amazingly, for this area, Zibiru is very reasonably priced and the value for money is incredible.

Italian Job
The Italian Job is an excellent restaurant but one which needs help dealing with large parties. If you need to take 20 people out for the night, maybe it’s best to go somewhere else.
Other than that, you’re going to be very happy. There’s a certain Asian-Italian fusion going on at this restaurant that most others would need more confidence or skill to pull off.

Italian Restaurants In Ubud
Uma Cucina
Uma Cucina is an awesome brunch option in Ubud. It’s a fixed price and you can eat as many Italian dishes as you want from the brunch menu.
The pizza is really good at Uma Cucina and their signature dish is a shared plate of sublime cheese and accompaniments.
They also offer gluten-free options for the diner who loves Italian dishes but doesn’t want a bad reaction to them.

L’Osteria Pizza e Cucina
You definitely want to book this restaurant in advance and ask for a table away from the front door and the road.
Assuming you’ve done that, then you can look forward to some tasty Italian tucker in a laid-back but attractive setting.
The flavours of their pizzas are justly famous all over Ubud.

Gioja Italian
You will need to reserve in advance as Gioja Italian can get super busy, but it’s worth making an effort.
The owner is very knowledgeable about the food he creates and he’s always around to share tips and receive customer feedback.
Some of the best dishes we’ve eaten of any kind of cuisine have been at Gioja Italian Restaurant.

Dolce Arancia
It can get a little warm inside Dolce Arancia as it’s a cozy and intimate setting, so don’t overdress.
They have the best gluten-free menu in Bali and you’re sure of personal service given that if they get 25 or so customers, they’re at capacity.
We were also impressed with some of the biggest salads that we’ve ever seen here.

If what you’re looking for is the possible topping combinations for a pizza, then you’re going to find it at Uno Ristorante Italiano in Bali.
We were also super impressed by their seafood offerings, which really seemed to capture the spirit of the local ingredients with an Italian touch.
The ice cream here is the perfect way to round things off, as it’s creamy and wonderful.

Italian Restaurants In Uluwatu
La Barraca Bali
We’re big fans of the truffle oil pasta at La Barraca and it’s the best way to warm up for one of their excellent pizzas that we can think of.
The tuna tartare salad is also very good and makes excellent use of some fresh local produce.
However, we do have one minor complaint – one of our friends is very tall and he finds the seats won’t let him place his legs comfortably at La Baarraca.
Other than that, we highly recommend this restaurant.

Filini Restaurant
This restaurant at the Radisson Blu is a pleasant place that doesn’t carry the mark of a chain hotel heavily on its food.
The lasagna is very good and the crab linguine in a white wine sauce is heavenly.
We’re also pleased to report that the staff is always looking to ensure your time there is enjoyable.

Il Restorante – Luca Fantin
This is an incredibly posh Italian restaurant in the Bulgari resort complex and there’s no doubt about it that you get what you pay for.
And that’s good because this is not a cheap eats place; it’s one of the greatest fine dining experiences in Bali.
Let the wait staff guide you as you dive into an eclectic menu that is designed to bring out the best of Italy and some local flavours, too.
Just be okay with the wine list. We know how tempting it is, but ouch, those prices.

Like At Home Authentic Italian Restaurant
They go all out to make you feel like you’re in an Italian family’s home in this restaurant and it’s a wonderful way to set the tone for an excellent meal.
Everything here is homemade and from scratch, so no shop-bought anything hits the table.
We love the fact that all the people working here are always smiling, that gives us great confidence that not only is the food a genuine experience but that they treat their workers well too.
We recommend trying all of their different pasta dishes and then enjoying a cup of Italian coffee as the authentic Italian music fills the room.

They say that everything at this restaurant is “made with love” and it certainly feels that way when you visit.
The food is not just tasty, but it also looks incredible on the plate. We couldn’t stop taking shots between bites for our Instagram feeds and we never do that.
The dining area is also beautifully presented and it feels like a home away from home.
One thing we really commend them for having is a kid’s area full of safe toys and things to play with. It’s super clean, which is very unusual for these kinds of efforts in Bali, too.
