Il Ristorante - Niko Romito
Indonesia
Il Ristorante at Bvlgari Resort Bali, previously associated with Luca Fantin, now operates as Il Ristorante - Niko Romito. The intimate dining destination brings Romito's contemporary interpretation of Italian cooking to the resort's clifftop address in Uluwatu. The approach centres on precise technique and clearly expressed flavours, with Italian traditions providing the foundation. Ingredients associated with Bali enter dishes created specifically for the destination, giving the menu a local dimension within its recognisably Italian framework. The published tasting menus illustrate that balance. Handmade pasta, glazed aubergine with tomatoes and basil, and Balinese pork with an orange sauce sit among the kitchen's repertoire. Menus change, but the progression from smaller dishes to more substantial courses gives dinner a deliberate pace. Wine pairings extend the experience through Italian regions, and the setting suits an evening devoted to a longer meal. For resort guests and visitors, the restaurant offers a focused introduction to the current chapter of Bvlgari's Italian dining in Bali.
