La Lucciola
Known as the pinnacle of Italian fine dining, where frequent flyers go as they have been recommended by a friend – La Lucciola has been around for decades thus, is one of the only restaurants in Seminyak, or Bali for that matter, that doesn’t rely of the 21st century social media craze to bring people in their troves. Located on the Seminyak beachfront, with gorgeous views by day and offering an intimate dining ambience by night – La Lucciola is the perfect ten in our eyes.

Da Maria
If you are looking for a vibrant scene (not for the romantic) which feels as though it has been plucked straight from the Amalfi Coast with a sprinkling of Capri – Da Maria if your girl. Boasting an eclectic mix of influences with Italian food, wine, music, fashion, art and friends being its focal point, you are sure to have a good time dining as the Romans do. The stunning interiors are a mixture of white and pale blue tones with an Osteria style which is the work of Roman architects Lazzarini Pickering. We recommend Da Maria to those looking for a modern Italian dining experience in the heart of Seminyak.
