Massimo Restaurant Sanur: Authentic Italy & Legendary Gelato

Massimo Restaurant in Sanur has long been a legend of Italian dining in Bali, opened by an Italian-born chef who brought the flavors of his hometown to the island. Set on Jalan Danau Tamblingan, the bustling heart of Sanur full of cafes and shops, it offers a spacious, leafy al fresco garden plus the more formal "Il Ristorante" area for dinner. What truly made it famous is its house-made gelato, considered by many to be the best on the island.

What Makes It Special

Massimo's kitchen runs on authentic Southern Italian recipes and fresh daily ingredients. Portions are generous, prices are reasonable by the standard of Italian restaurants in Bali, and quality has stayed consistent for years, so it stays busy with tourists and locals alike.

• Handmade pasta — spaghetti, ravioli, and classic lasagna.
• Wood-fired pizza with thin Neapolitan-style dough.
• Antipasti & seafood fresh in the Mediterranean style.
• Legendary gelato in dozens of flavors, from pistachio to stracciatella.

Visiting Tips
