Ubud might be known for its jungle views and yogi vibes, but its Italian food scene is surprisingly *chef kiss*. Craving crispy thin-crust pizza, hand-rolled pasta, or tiramisu that tastes like it came straight from Nonna’s kitchen? These are the most delicious Italian spots in town to satisfy your appetite for all things cheesy, saucy, and soul-comforting—each one bringing its own slice of la dolce vita to Bali’s cultural heart.

ARTE Ubud
Part pizzeria, part gallery, part cozy book nook—ARTE is what happens when art, carbs, and good company collide. This dinner-only gem in Ubud (and Canggu) serves up Napoli-style pizzas with blistered crusts, fresh salads, house-made pastas (including vegan and gluten-free options), and Italian gelato to die for. Born as a family passion project, it’s now a hub for the creatively inclined, with rotating art exhibitions and a comforting vibe that feels like a warm Italian hug.

Casa Curandera
Tucked among Ubud’s rice paddies, Casa Curandera is a love letter to simplicity. Merging Italian and Colombian traditions (yes, it works!), this charming eatery serves wholesome, consciously sourced dishes with an emphasis on sustainability. Think pizza baked in a wood-fired oven, ingredients from their on-site permaculture farm, and a general vibe that says slow down and enjoy. It’s a fresh, soulful take on Italian dining—with a tropical twist.

Ciao Nonna
Your Italian grandma may not live in Bali, but she might secretly be working here. Ciao Nonna is all about artisan pasta made fresh in their glass-walled kitchen. You can watch the chefs at work before diving into steaming bowls of tagliatelle, ravioli, or whatever your carb-loving heart desires. Bonus points for the garden patio, air-conditioned indoor seating, and take-home options like sauces, frozen meals, and dolci straight from Nonna’s recipe book.

Dolce Arancia
Dolce Arancia isn’t here to play the tourist game. Since 2012, this little gem—run by Balinese-Italian dream team Yudi and Stefano—has stayed fiercely loyal to Nonna Tina’s original recipes (because Nonna always knows best). From the melt-in-your-mouth Parmigiana di Melanzane to the Spaghetti alle Vongole that might make you weep with joy, it’s all unapologetically authentic. The pizza dough? Taught by a legit pizza champion, Benedetta Bonci, so yeah—it’s kind of a big deal. When your tastebuds need a break from nasi goreng, this is your real-deal Italian fix, no passport or plane ticket required.

It’s dinner with a side of drama (in the best way).

GENIO by Twist
A playful offshoot of Ubud’s celebrated Twist Restaurant, GENIO is all about dialing in that pizza-pasta harmony. The mission? To make pizza that just tastes right—no more, no less. From the simple yet perfect Margherita to bolder combos (vegan options too), this spot serves up slices that inspire debate: is it really as good as Naples? Depends who you ask, but everyone agrees it’s worth finishing the whole pie.

La Baracca
This cheeky little chain, started by two Italian friends, is a Bali favorite—and the Ubud outpost doesn’t disappoint. With its steampunk-meets-upcycled décor, gluten-free everything, and burrata that practically oozes charm, La Baracca serves comfort food with a modern edge. Don’t skip the four-cheese gnocchi (arguably the best in town), panini sandwiches for lunch, or the complimentary limoncello that magically appears post-meal. Grazie mille!
