Bali is an island rich in natural beauty and famous for its cultural preservation. There are many beautiful tourist attractions in Bali that present a blend of traditional culture with modernization following the times and existing technology. But there is one tourist spot that is completely unaffected by the times and technology.
The island of Bali has a variety of places that provide exciting activities to play. Such as attractions ranging from nature tourism, cultural tourism, and other popular places that must be visited. One of them is the culinary attraction at Da Maria restaurant.
Da Maria Restaurant Design
More and more entrepreneurs from Australia are developing their business on the Island of the Gods, Da Maria Seminyak Restaurant is one of them presented by Maurice Terzini. Maurice is already popular in Australia with his Icebergs restaurant in Sydney. Collaborating with Adrian Reed from Motel Mexicola, Maurice launched an Italian restaurant with a modern concept of Osteria style in Seminyak area. He was inspired by Italians who pour their creative ideas into food and entertainment. Da Maria itself emphasizes the diversity of Italian cuisine, wine, art and fashion.
Da Maria’s interior has a strong Italian feel with pastel blue colors. The interior was done by Lazarini Pickering who was inspired by the Amalfi coast in the 1960s. The restaurant is the result of owner Maurice’s imagination, which has been successfully incorporated into all of his restaurants, including Da Maria. It is based on a simple, well-organized European-style design with greenery from indoor plants such as dangling passion fruit branches, cacti and tropical trees. Travelers might also think that the interior design is bright like Mexican or bohemian style.
Waterfalls at Da Maria Restaurant
There are three fountains painted with geometric motifs in blue and white, located under the chandelier. The simple decoration of the chandelier reminds us of a courtyard-style restaurant in Italy. The tables and chairs are also blue with a touch of gold on the seat cushions. All the interior work was done in Bali and purchased from Balinese craftsmen themselves. Despite buying from Bali, inside the restaurant, visitors will not find any Balinese style on the interior items.
Various Menus at Da Maria Restaurant
Da Maria has a bar counter and all drinks are Campari or Aperol flavored, mixed with white spirits from local fruits and citrus. Popular drinks are Negroni and Spritz. In addition, the restaurant also makes its own vermouth.
As for dessert, there is a Vanilla and Chocolate Gelato menu. A very famous Italian gelato, this restaurant uses real vanilla beans and the chocolate used is not too sweet so it is not too sour. Da Maria also has an open kitchen so that visitors can see the presentation of the menu they ordered.
Prices for main courses range from IDR 110,000 to Rp200,000. Classic wines and cocktails start at IDR 85,000 per glass. Every night, the restaurant transforms into a party atmosphere with live music from local and international DJs.
