La Lucciola

"This was our third time visiting the restaurant after visiting back in Year 2015 and 2016. Overall, great service and awesome atmosphere, with the winds blowing strongly from the sea so much so that we had to be seated at a table shielded by the blinds. The cons were: - a very petite size soft shelled crab (the picture says it all) - linguine vongole which felt slightly bland Overall, I would still go back again when I’m back in Bali but might not order the above 2 dishes again"

"La Lucciola is one of Seminyak’s most timeless dining experiences. Set right on the beachfront near Petitenget Temple, the restaurant combines understated elegance with relaxed coastal charm. The open-air design allows the ocean breeze to drift through the space, creating a calm and unpretentious atmosphere. Whether you choose a table upstairs overlooking the water or downstairs closer to the gardens, the setting feels intimate yet expansive at the same time. The cuisine is classic Italian with a refined touch. Fresh seafood, handmade pastas and simple, beautifully balanced flavours define the menu. Ingredients feel seasonal and thoughtfully sourced, and presentation remains elegant without being overworked. The wine selection complements the food perfectly, offering both European and New World options."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"The food is really really good. Was going to take some photographs and grab a coffee from here. But was so amazed but the pancakes were so amazing that we just kept ordering the food. The beach we original came for is really beautiful too. The sun shining down, the vivid colours and the sound of the waves, absolutely majestic. And this restaurant just nicely nestled in the corner."

"Perfectly positioned on the beach front. Once the sun goes down and the restaurant is lit up it is stunning! Staff were fantastic! Food was good! We had a variety of dishes and couldn’t find a fault. Recommend bringing mosquito spray or patches this was our only issue."

"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."
