La Lucciola

Came here for early dinner because of great reviews on vlogs. At 4pm, we could easily be accommodated without any wait times, and we noted that tables filled up closer to 5.30pm. The view from this resto is amazing -- unobstructed views of the ocean and greenery. It's relatively quiet (away from road noise) and with ample space between tables. Service is very attentive, though we would have wanted some umbrella assistance when we arrived as it was pouring. Food is so so. We ordered 3 drinks, 2 appetizers (Calamari and Burrata toast salad), and 2 mains (Lobster Risotto and Cacio e Pepe). The 2 appetizers were great but came in small serving portions. The Lobster Risotto was OK. The Cacio e Pepe was so bland that we had to ask for more Pecorino shavings (which did improve the taste a little bit). I won't recommend the Cacio. Overall still a good experience for the views and service.

La Lucciola was an incredible dining experience. The food was absolutely amazing, full of flavor, beautifully plated, and the portion sizes were very satisfying. Every dish felt thoughtfully prepared and high quality. The service truly stood out. Our glasses were always full, the staff explained the menu items clearly, and everyone was attentive, warm, and welcoming, with big smiles throughout. The atmosphere is stunning, especially at sunset, the setting alone makes it worth visiting. Highly recommend, a must-visit in Bali.

Great place to have dinner while watching the sunset at petitenget beach. The staffs are friendly. The food is descent, pasta was great, they also have complimentary breadstick and focaccia. (Portion a bit small for this if you ask me). As for the price, it is on the pricey side for pasta and wine. We spent 40euros in total, in my opinion Bali had some excellent local cuisine with much lower price, but if you craved for authentic Italian pastas with a view, would definitely recommend this.

Lovely first dining experience at La Lucciola - We went as a group of 8. A very popular well known venue in Bali and you can see why as soon as you enter! Greeted by a beautiful landscape, the sound of crashing waves and the lovely ocean breeze. The fairy lights look absolutely stunning (video doesn’t do it justice). Ordered the spanner crab spaghetti (fresh made pasta daily) and the broccoli and it was delicious! Cocktails were strong! We sat upstairs and it was very hot and humid so some additional fans would have been highly recommended to circulate some air. Many of the group also were bitten by mosquitos so would encourage you to spray on some bug spray before going and you would be fine. Service was a little sub par from what we were used to in Bali, with limited attentiveness to offer more drinks or even trying to get some attention for water. When it came to settling the bill, there was a lot of hassle with the eftpos machine and lack of clarity as to whether we were waiting or they were doing something to fix it. Overall, I would return because the food was good and the atmosphere was beautiful and so pretty - however service could do with a slight improvement in attentiveness compared to other nice dining venues in Bali.

Best Italian restaurant in Bali. Location is perfect, with beautiful grass land and beach right in front of it. A perfect spot to watch sunset. The place is very cozy and beautiful. Every dish is delicious. Staff is very friendly. This is our favorite Italian restaurant in Bali. We always come here whenever we visit Bali. Highly recommended!

La Lucciola has always been my favorite restaurant in Bali — and for good reason. The atmosphere is simply magical: open-air dining, nestled right by the beach, surrounded by swaying coconut trees and that charming wooden structure that feels like a glimpse of old Bali. The staff are absolutely wonderful — warm, attentive, and always welcoming. The food never disappoints, consistently delicious with fresh, vibrant flavors that perfectly match the tropical setting. I’ve dined here many times, and each visit feels just as special as the first. If you’re looking for that true Bali feeling — timeless, relaxing, and beautiful — La Lucciola is the place. A must-visit

I was walking down the beach from Canggu when a sudden storm hit, so I rushed into this restaurant to take shelter. From the outside, it looked like a high-end, luxurious place. The staff were helpful, professional, and clearly experienced, which gave a very good first impression. Unfortunately, later that night I developed food poisoning (Bali belly). I hadn’t eaten anything else that day, so I’m confident it came from one of the dishes here, or possibly the olive oil served as a complimentary starter. After reading other reviews, it seems I’m not the only one who has experienced this. It’s very disappointing that a restaurant presenting itself at such a high level can still be the source of such a serious issue. I expected much better standards of food safety from a place like this.

Exceptional service, and ambience, we were walk- in diners but after 10mins enjoying a cocktail at the bar, gave us a table at the front of the first floor deck with spectacular views of the ocean sunset. Enjoyed the duck Risotto, as it was very tasty and a good portion. Definitely will come back, thanks 😄
