If you’ve ever wondered where the island’s Italians get their fix of just-like-nonna’s nosh, this is the place. Bottega Italiana is a fast-casual Italian eatery (and the sister brand to Zibiru) bringing a back-to-basics philosophy of cooking to Canggu and Seminyak. It showcases the best of what Italy has to offer with its all-homemade and premium, organic ingredients. And if that wasn’t enough, it’s also a boutique gourmet marketplace with take-home homemade products, like fresh pasta, sauces and herb-infused olive oils. Delizioso!
