Canggu has a long-standing reputation as one of Bali’s most dynamic neighbourhoods, where laid-back surf culture meets an increasingly strong dining scene.
Cantina Classe is one of the standout Italian restaurants in Canggu options that has made a genuine mark, bringing real Italian character to the area.
The restaurant is housed in a masonry-style building with exposed brick walls that give it the feel of an old Italian trattoria. It’s a warm, social space that works just as well for a relaxed dinner as it does for a table full of friends celebrating something.
Among the dining places in Canggu, Cantina Classe sits in a category of its own for how seriously it takes both food and atmosphere.
Handmade, From the Kitchen
Cantina Classe is built around handmade pasta, wood-fired pizza, and Italian classics done with care and proper technique.
The Fettuccine Truffle Carbonara Steak is one of the kitchen’s most impressive dishes. The rib-eye with creamy truffle sauce, white truffle butter, and parmesan is something far more indulgent than a standard pasta course.
Beyond that, the menu covers a lot of ground well, from the Two Sheet Lasagna Verde with beef brisket bolognese to the Sea Bass Brown Butter and the Smoked Duck Spiedini, proof that this kitchen takes its food seriously across the board.
Cocktails and the Wine List
The cocktail program leans into Italian references with some local personality. The Negroni di Bali gives the classic a tropical twist with tamarind, while the Sicilian Sangria Limoncello blends red wine with blood orange and basil for something refreshing and easy to drink.
For non-alcoholic options, the mocktail list includes the Froid Et Frais, a ginger and lemon number with mint and soda, alongside the Granitas in flavours like lychee, lime, and coffee caramel.
The wine list features both local Indonesian labels and imported bottles from Italy, Chile, France, New Zealand, and Australia, giving guests plenty of options to pair with their meal.
A Space Worth Lingering In
Cantina Classe also offers a private dining option for groups of up to 55 guests, making it a solid choice for celebrations, corporate dinners, or full venue events. The atmosphere is relaxed enough for a casual weeknight but polished enough for a proper occasion.
