Italian Seminyak: Southern Italian Dining at MAURI

Italian Seminyak covers a wide range of restaurants, from casual pizzerias to refined dining rooms. MAURI, part of the La Famiglia group, takes its own approach. Its kitchen cooks contemporary Southern Italian food from Puglia, the home region of Chef-Owner Maurizio Bombini. In addition, it opens for dinner, weekend lunch and Sunday brunch on Jalan Petitenget.

What to look for in an Italian Seminyak restaurant

When comparing Italian restaurants in Seminyak, especially for a special evening, a few things matter more than décor. First, look for a kitchen with a clear regional identity. Also check how deep the wine list runs. Then ask whether the room suits both a quiet dinner and a larger celebration. Because Seminyak has many options, these details separate an ordinary meal from a considered one.

In fact, MAURI answers each point directly. The kitchen follows Chef Maurizio Bombini’s Puglian background, for example in Cavatelli and Agnolotti al Ragù. The wine list is cellar-led. In addition, the team pours Dom Pérignon by the glass through the Coravin Sparkling™ Wine Preservation System. For groups, The Balcony offers a private room above the main dining room by enquiry.

Southern Italian cooking inspired by Puglia

Puglia’s cooking relies on grain, olive oil and seafood from the Adriatic and Ionian coasts, a tradition described in more depth by resources such as this overview of Apulian cuisine. So the a la carte menu at MAURI moves through starters, pasta and mains from that same tradition.

Tonno, Capesante and Crostata di Pomodori open the meal. Then Cavatelli, Parmigiano Ravioli and Risotto alla Milanese carry the pasta course. For a larger plate, the kitchen offers Branzino, Maialino Arrosto and Filetto di Manzo. The Costata di Manzo Wagyu MB 7/8 also suits sharing. Guests who prefer a set sequence can choose between two tasting menus. The Signature Tasting Menu is IDR 980K++ per person (Pricing as of October 2026). Meanwhile, the Discovery Tasting Menu runs IDR 1,380K++ per person (Pricing as of October 2026). For more detail on current dishes, see the menu page.

Hours, lunch and Sunday brunch

First, MAURI serves dinner daily from 6.30 PM to 11 PM. On Fridays and Saturdays, lunch begins at 12 PM. Then on Sundays, the restaurant serves brunch at the table from 11.30 AM to 3 PM. Brunch costs IDR 680K++ per person (Pricing as of October 2026). Because tables are limited, booking ahead is advisable for weekend lunch and Sunday brunch.

Private dining at The Balcony

For private events, The Balcony sits above the main dining room and looks down through glass windows. As a result, it suits groups who want a separate space that still feels part of the room. Enquiries for The Balcony go through the private dining page or directly by WhatsApp.
