Bella Italia

Bella Italia has been on Jalan Sriwijaya in Legian since 2012. It's a lively, unfussy restaurant, bar and pizzeria close to Kuta's beach and malls. It opens for breakfast and keeps serving until the early hours, which makes it a useful fallback in an area full of late-night bars.

Diners on Chope rate the bruschetta mozza most highly: toasted bread with melted imported mozzarella, chopped tomato and garlic. Next comes the homemade tortellini with pancetta and mushroom cream. The tagliata di manzo with rocket and grana, the house Bella Italia risotto and the burrata and prosciutto plates are also worth ordering. There's a full pizza list, and all-day breakfast if you arrive early.

It suits groups, families and anyone who wants a dependable Italian meal at a fair price in Legian. It takes large parties and books through Chope. A sister restaurant, Bella Italia Sanur, is on Jalan Cemara in Sanur.
