The story
At the Bvlgari Resort Bali, set on the dramatic limestone cliffs of Uluwatu, Il Ristorante - Niko Romito brings the vision of one of Italy's most celebrated chefs to the Indonesian coast. The restaurant is the Bali expression of Niko Romito's global dining concept, carried across Bvlgari properties from Rome to Tokyo, and it has earned recognition from Gambero Rosso — Italy's most authoritative food guide — with a coveted 3 Forks rating in 2026.
Niko Romito is the chef behind the three-Michelin-starred Reale in Castel di Sangro, Abruzzo, and his restaurants within Bvlgari hotels translate his philosophy of essential, ingredient-driven Italian cooking to an international stage. The approach is rooted in precision and restraint: dishes that speak clearly, without excess, drawing on the depth of Italian culinary tradition rather than ornamentation.
The Bvlgari Resort Bali occupies a clifftop site above the Indian Ocean at Jalan Goa Lempeh — a location that lends the dining experience a particular gravity. The resort itself is designed with a strong sense of place, and Il Ristorante sits within that environment as a destination in its own right, open for dinner.
The combination of rigorous Italian cooking and an extraordinary natural setting is what distinguishes this table. For guests seeking serious Italian cuisine in Bali, recognized at the highest level by Gambero Rosso, Il Ristorante - Niko Romito makes a compelling and well-credentialed case.
