The Bali Bird

Chasing Bali’s Ultimate Dining Experience? di Mare, Cliff-Top Italian at Karma Kandara Uluwatu

A taste of the Italian Riviera above Uluwatu’s cliffs — fun, flirty, and effortlessly refined.

The Setting

First, the view will stop you mid-sentence. Then, the Amalfi-style terrace pulls you in with natural wood, blue and white cushions, and linen that drifts in the breeze. Meanwhile, the Indian Ocean does its golden-hour thing, so every table feels like the best in the house. As a result, the room stays intimate and relaxed, yet quietly glamorous.

The Food

The Food

To start, think Italian spirit with Bali soul. Next, expect house-made pasta, creamy risotti, and wood-fired pizza, all cooked with clarity and balance. Moreover, plates are designed to share, although you may keep your favourite, no judgement. For dessert, go classic with a twist, because A Brillo brings espresso martini over gelato, while the limoncello cheesecake is bright and zesty, and the hazelnut mascarpone semifreddo lands softly, yet memorably.

Save room for dessert:

  • A Brillo — espresso martini poured over gelato
  • Limoncello Cheesecake — bright, zesty, a little bit cheeky
  • Hazelnut Mascarpone Semifreddo — with honeyed grapes and delicate pasta fritta

The Chefs

The Chefs

Together, Chef Stefan Thietz and Group Executive Chef Joseph Antonishek steer the kitchen with confidence. Consequently, Italian tradition meets modern technique without losing the joy. Additionally, weekly inspirations draw from Chef Joseph’s travels through Italy, so menus feel fresh, seasonal, and a little bit personal. If you want something tailored, ask for a bespoke tasting menu, and the team will shape it to your preferences.

Weekly Happenings

On Monday, Paella and Sangria set a lively tone by the pool, with live stations, tapas, and Flamenco under the stars.
On Wednesday, Rayunan Royal Dinner celebrates Indonesia, therefore the evening arrives with ceremony, dance, and ocean drama.
On Thursday, Giro Beatzza keeps the oven hot, so all-you-can-eat pizza flows giro-style, DJ Manu-L rides the vibe, and, finally, the cult-favourite Pizzookie signs off the night.
