If you’re the kind of man who appreciates precision, excellence, and a little indulgence, then this is your next dinner destination. Il Ristorante – Niko Romito, the crown jewel of Italian culinary artistry, has officially opened its doors at Bvlgari Resort Bali on May 19, 2025—and it’s everything you’d expect from a restaurant that defines world-class.
Following its success in Milan, Dubai, Beijing, Tokyo, and Paris, this latest outpost brings Chef Niko Romito’s signature modern Italian cuisine to the cliffs of Uluwatu. With only 24 seats, it’s an exclusive, reservation-only affair—intimate, elegant, and set against the jaw-dropping backdrop of the Indian Ocean.
Bold Flavors, Clean Execution
The philosophy behind Il Ristorante is simple: elevate traditional Italian dishes with precise techniques and the best ingredients on the planet. In Bali, that means sourcing from the island’s natural bounty—think fresh seafood, wild pepper varieties, vanillas from Kintamani, sun-kissed tomatoes from Plaga, and seasonal herbs grown right inside the resort garden.
Dinner here isn’t just a meal—it’s a show. A culinary performance under soft lighting, surrounded by reflecting pools and the distant sound of waves crashing against limestone cliffs. Every bite is designed to tell a story—about Italy, about Bali, and about flavor.
Three Ways to Experience It
The 4-Course “I Classici” Menu
This is Romito’s tribute to the greatest hits of Italian cuisine. You’ll start with a refined L’Antipasto all’italiana, move through delicate ricotta tortelli made with Bali’s own cheese, and enjoy coral trout served with shellfish and local tomatoes. Dessert? Bread and Chocolate—an iconic dish, reimagined with Bali’s finest cocoa.
