A Taste of Italy, Rooted in Bali at Amici

Tucked in the heart of Bali’s vibrant rhythm, Amici by Enrico Bartolini is where Italian tradition meets Balinese soul. This warm, elegant restaurant is more than just a place to dine—it’s a sanctuary for those who savor slow living, soulful meals, and meaningful connection. As sunlight filters through lush greenery at The Veranda, guests are welcomed into a tranquil space perfect for leisurely afternoons with a spritz in hand and bites that transport you to Tuscany. Step further in, and the open kitchen invites you into the magic of culinary artistry, where food isn’t just made—it’s performed. Helmed by the visionary Chef Enrico Bartolini—whose culinary journey has earned him 14 Michelin stars—and brought to life daily by Head Chef Alessandro D’Amico, Amici is a true expression of heritage and heart. Alessandro’s roots in Sicily and global experience across Dubai, Taiwan, and the Maldives inspire a menu that honors both Italian classics and the richness of local Balinese harvest. “The best way to be global is to be local,” he says—and it shows in every dish. From the comforting layers of La Mia Parmigiana to the beautifully folded Ravioli al Tovagliolo, each creation tells a story of place, memory, and craftsmanship. As a sweet finale, the Tributo a Bali celebrates the island itself, marrying Italian technique with local ingredients in a dessert that feels like sunshine on a plate. But Amici is more than its food—it’s a living, breathing space of community and celebration. Guests can take part in pasta-making classes led by Chef Alessandro, indulge in a relaxing lunch under the sun, or discover the artistry of collaborative Four Hands Dinners featuring guest chefs like Andres Beccera from Santanera. Each experience is crafted to bring people together through shared meals and moments of joy. Whether you're stopping by for an aperitivo at sunset or settling in for an indulgent dinner, Amici welcomes you with open arms and a full heart. Here, every meal is an invitation—to slow down, to connect, and to celebrate the simple pleasures of life.
