    Excellent and authentic Italian food. We ordered the Practice Tagliatelle, which was amazing, and ordered what probably was the best Tortellini we've ever had! The Tiramisu is also a must order. The place looks great and cozy and the service was very good. If you're looking for the best Italian food in Bali, this is the place to go!

    Been going to eat here for more than 9 years and going. Many memories made here. The food has been consistent as long as I can remember and have never let me down. The food is more traditional and have a home cooking feel to it. The owners are always there and makes sure the food/service is provided to the customer with their best. The restaurant has a relaxing and chill ambience that improve the dining experience. The lighting is perfect and the service is top notch! Always feel welcomed whenever the staff who knows us welcome and greet us. The price of the food is still friendly and not expensive compared to other restaurants and the portions are plentiful. Truly my comfort restaurant whenever I am in Bali. Recommend the sangria and pasta. Personal favourite.

    Nice atmosphere with friendly/attentive staff. The food was great although the flavour was on the subtle side (needed a bit of salt but that's personal preference). Wait time was a bit long (30-40mins) considering there were only 2 other tables being served. Overall a positive experience.

    Probably the best vongole pasta in Bali. Here's speaking as someone who is a big fan of Italian food in Bali. The bolognese pasta we ordered was however really bland. Would recommend The Village Cucina in Sanur for the best Bolognese pasta in Bali, or Suarapura Restaurant for the best Arrabbiata in Bali. The pesto pasta we ordered was splendid however, close to the standard of pesto at Mamamia resto in Ubud. We haven't tried the aglio olio pasta but we hope it would be as good as the one we had at Black Beach resto in Ubud (olive oil from pre-frying process). The tuna pizza we ordered here both me and my girlfriend didn't enjoy at all. Maybe the tomato base is lacking? Overall the ambience is great, but the food here is a hit and miss. (The lady chef was not at the kitchen at the time but was chatting with customers).

    This is a very cool and authentic Italian restaurant , we came for dinner last nite. Welcomed by friendly staff and sitting at large tables with chequered table cloths the menu is extensive from drinks to pasta to pizzas and desert. We chose penne putanesca and penne carbonara. Putanesca was delicious with slithers of black olives , seasoning and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese. Carbonara was traditional cooked in oil and bacon and very light...penne in both dishes was spot on. Accompanied with a serve of garlic bread it capped off a most enjoyable night whilst watching the movie on the big screen. Staff here are very friendly too.

    Where we are from, anything above a four star rating is generous, for me, this was an easy ten out of ten. The service was very kind and the exterior is absolutely beautiful. Fresh pasta was very delicious. I strongly suggest this Italian restaurant, best pasta in Bali.

    Casual dining at its best! We decided to dine at Rustica for our last dinner in Bali as we were a party of 7 travelling with 3 young kids who enjoy Italian food. It was easy for us to get a booking at 7pm and we enjoyed an authentic meal of homemade pastas and pizzas. There was a silent movie playing on a projector that had the kids enthralled while the adults could chat. The owner happened to be there also and had a lovely chat with him and the iconic nonna in their posters is his own mother and together they founded the restaurant. Thank you for the lovely evening & we would visit again when in Bali!

    Our first time here was fantastic, we love aglio olio and the pasta with wine sauce (forget the name), and the one who cooked & delivered the put was the auntie. Unfortunately, our second time is nay. We expected for nice tgif, but the meal wasnt. Gorgonzola & pesto penne & pizza is so so. When i ordered aglio olio by gofood, it tastes good but not till tasty level. Please also make sure the staffs also nice to anyone, no matter the cust is foreigner or local. Cheers, My review for 2021.

    We’ve been in Bali for 5 days and I could not find a proper home cooked meal until now. It was authentic Italian. Cooked by Mama. We enjoyed it so much that we will be back every day until we leave. Antonio stayed and chatted with us and we honestly say you get great service with a great meal. All staff were lovely. We highly recommend it if you are after a home cooked meal.

  • 5/5 CAROLINE I. 2 years ago on Google
    Ordered Vongole Spaghetti with extra GARLIC ( yes i love garlic) & Fungi Ravioli & Wooden Baked Pizza " Prosciutto Cotto and Fungi. The pasta & ravioli are PHENOMENAL AMAZINGLY GOOD ( guess what, it is home made pasta) The pizza was good, smell the smoky flavor from the wood. Rustica Italiana is HIGHLY recommended If u wanna try authentic italian food. Prices are affordable and consider as cheap because it is authentic and cooked by Mamma Luigina. I saw mamma Luigina busy in the kitchen. Ohhh dont forget YOU MUST TRY THEIR CELLOs ( CHOCOLATE CELLO, GINGER CILLO, ANISE CILLO). Actually they have Limoncello but unfortunately it was sold out that nite ( limoncello is Italian lemon liqueur) . I truly recommend Rustica Italiana. Definitely will be back

    I came with a cousin and we ordered Pizza and Tagliatelle Oglio, Olio con Salsiccia, We were satisfied with the foods and the portion size. And they also served complimentary bread sticks while we were waiting for our food to come. Delicious ...

    MY FAVOURITE ITALIAN RESTAURANT IN BALI! The pasta is home made and super authentic, staff were absolutely amazing. The atmosphere transports you directly to Italy. Very reasonable prices, we ordered staters, mains, and dessert… that is how amazing the food is!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

  • 4/5 Leevy V. 1 year ago on Google
    Added to my favorite Italian restaurant in town. Must order : Vongole spaghetti & gorgonzola tagliatelle. Love their chocolate mousse as well. They’ll give you free lemoncillo ;) Great hospitality too, owner son greet us during dinner and check if all is good. They play charlie chaplin as in house entertainment. Things that can improve: not all server knows the menu very well, one of waitress recommended us gnocchi arabiata & parmesan, turns its the least favorite menu that we like

  • 5/5 Arie G. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice & relaxing atmosphere here. Waiters so attentive, I'm very impressed. Food is also great 👍 👌 i like this tiramisu a lot!! They have gluten free option!!

  • 4/5 Maximus F. 1 year ago on Google
    Italian Restaurant, the owner is friendly, he will listen to customer requests... Quite a lot of food menu choices... For the price of main meals, starting from 100k excluding tax and service of 15%... As for the taste of the food itself, it's quite good even though I haven't found it special, maybe next time I'll try another menu!!!

    Authentic Italian Delight at Rustica Cucina Italiana, Bali On a recent Saturday evening, we dined at Rustica Cucina Italiana, located on the main road from Canggu to Seminyak in Bali. This Italian restaurant is distinguished by a prominent photograph of Luigina, the Italian 'nonna' from Italy, who is both the owner and the inspiration behind the restaurant. The authenticity of the cuisine immediately stands out, offering a genuine Italian dining experience in Bali. Typically, we are hesitant to patronize Western-owned restaurants or services while traveling, preferring local experiences. However, drawn by the high ratings and the notable presence of Nonna Luigina, we decided to give Rustica Cucina Italiana a try. The decision proved to be an excellent one. Our reservation process was smooth, marked by efficient and friendly interactions with the staff. The dining experience itself was delightful, featuring a three-course meal that was both affordable and exquisitely prepared. What truly enhanced our evening was the presence of Nonna Luigina herself. Observing her join the diners after spending time in the kitchen with her team added a warm, familial touch to the atmosphere. The staff appeared content and respectful towards Nonna Luigina, reflecting a positive work environment. The restaurant exuded a tranquil ambience, further accentuated by the presence of family pets, adding to the homely feel. The respect and admiration for Nonna Luigiana were palpable among both staff and guests, highlighting her pivotal role in the establishment. In summary, Rustica Cucina Italiana is a testament to authentic Italian cuisine and familial warmth. The combination of delightful food, happy staff, and a genuine Italian atmosphere, all at a reasonable price, makes this restaurant a must-visit. I wholeheartedly recommend it and look forward to returning in the future.

    lovely place, warm and cozy. would recommend the wood fired pizza, not too convinced by the pasta we ordered though. charlie chaplin movie screening at the background was a nice touch

  • 4/5 Naïs V. 8 months ago on Google
    Good Italian restaurant. The prices are quite high but the pastas and pizzas are good. The place is nice and well placed and deserves to be better known. I think he should improve their dessert menu because I was quite disappointed with the tiramisu but otherwise it was a successful experience.

  • 5/5 Nando 5 months ago on Google
    Great meals. Awesome service. Amazing atmosphere. Was here with my family. Everyone is satisfied with the food. It's authentic, and just great.

  • 5/5 Hunter W. 5 months ago on Google
    Rustica Bali is an absolute gem! Mamma Luigina's handmade dishes are made with so much love and care, and it truly shows in every bite. The pizza and pasta are the best in town, and the classic Italian movies playing on the projector create such a cozy and authentic atmosphere. If you're in town, this place is a must-visit! 🍕🍝❤️

  • 5/5 Vets O. 6 months ago on Google
    Pizza and pasta were amazing! Staff were really friendly and atmosphere is great. Feels like a real italian restaurant. Price is a bit high but you also pay for the atmosphere.

  • 5/5 Paula P. 3 years ago on Google
    Feels like home but with better food and more limoncello! This is by far one of the best restaurant experiences I’ve ever had. The people are so incredibly friendly and take great care to make you feel at home from the moment you step in the door. And the food... well, it’s made by a proper Italian grandmother, and everything is so delicious. I had the gnocchi, that were like little fluffy bites of cloud in your mouth, and of course you have to save room for the desserts. I don’t usually order tiramisu in restaurants because I’ve had it in Italy and everywhere else I try it it’s disappointing, but obviously the tiramisu in Rustica is out of this world, all the proper flavours and textures and just incredible. Then after the meal I got offered a taste of their homemade limoncello, we got to talking, so then I tried the homemade chococello (I didn’t know that existed but you haven’t lived till you try it!), and by the end of it I was glad my hotel was just accross the road! This really feels like a little piece of Italy in Bali. Must try restaurant- you’ll leave with a full belly and a happy heart!

  • 5/5 Sheila A. 3 years ago on Google
    A very nice place to enjoy Italian foods! Taste really good and the service are excellent! Even Mama Luigi (the owner and chef) come out to greet every customer! A very friendly lady. Not familiar with the menu? Ask the lady waitress what is her recommendation for pasta and pizza. They have the perfect homemade pasta, pizza, and sauce. She even can suggest the best pasta or pizza to match your taste preference. At the end of our visit, we got a complimentary homemade limoncello. We are very delightful. So, we will come back for sure!

    The perfect place for authentic, homely Italian cuisine. Nonna Luigina and the staff were all very warm and welcoming. We ordered the pappardelle tricolore alla Luigina, spaghetti aglio olio, gnocchi funghi e panna and pizza prosciutto cotto & funghi. Absolutely delightful! You could practically taste the freshness of the ingredients and the pasta, the seasoning and flavor were spot on. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a little corner of Italy in Bali. See you again soon!

  • 5/5 Madie D. 5 years ago on Google
    Don’t let the humble setting dissuade you. 5 stars because of the authenticity of this place. Reviewing food and accommodation is always very subjective. We are a family traveling the world that loves to eat well, and we eat out a lot. Rustica is not a gastronomic place, but we loved this simple good food that felt like a real taverna you would find back in Italy. The pizza is excellent, made in a traditional oven. The family owning this place has 3 generations in the kitchen and are very service focused. TISEA , but they do a good job. A pleasant surprise in the jungle of plastic, fakes, and mass tourism which make up this town. We recommend.

  • 4/5 nafinia p. 3 years ago on Google

    I must say, it was a delightful experience. I was greeted warmly by the staff and seated promptly. The ambiance was cozy and inviting. The menu offered a wide variety of traditional Italian dishes, all of which were prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients. I decided to try the Tortellini Al Gorgonzola, Pizza Sampi and Tomato Soup and it was absolutely delicious. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente and the sauce was rich and creamy, with just the right amount of cheese. The service was impeccable, with Mr. Komang, the Manager, being attentive and friendly throughout the meal. He was able to make recommendations based on my preferences. Overall, I had a wonderful dining experience at this Italian restaurant and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for authentic and delicious Italian cuisine. I will definitely be returning in the future to try more of their amazing dishes. Last but not least, thank you Antonio for the hospitality!

    Visiting Bali with a family holiday and was recommended to come see Rustica. From the fairly lights sparkling to the outdoor projector film, sets the mood for an awesome night! Plus home made pasta, you can't go wrong! Staff are so friendly and the experience was great. Came here for my Aunties 50th birthday celebrations and the whole restaurant Sang along! Definitely recommended visiting Rustica when in Bali🍝👌

👍👍 I'd recommend reserving for brunch if you want to sit indoors. I ordered the Full English Bunny Breakfast which was very good. Every ingredient was delicious and it came in a lightly toasted brioche bun. For the drink I ordered the Strong Boy - I highly recommend it 👍
