FOOD + DRINKS + SOUNDS EVERY NIGHT
Having developed their character over the first six months
of trade and finding its Italian expression on the island of the gods, Da Maria
Bali has now formed its identity as a multi-faceted venue with something to
offer locals, expats and tourists alike.
The brainchild of Maurice Terzini and Adrian Reed has now
cemented its’ place in the heart of Petitenget. Families and children have
always played an important role in the culture of Da Maria with the philosophy
that they can cater to anyone from 8 to 80. Da Maria encourages kids to make
their own pizzas in true topolino club style, while parents sit back relax with
for an early meal.
Da Maria extends its’ music program from 7pm every night
with DJs with the understanding that every night is a Friday night in Bali. Apperitivo
hour in the courtyard offers the perfect pre-dinner experience with a backdrop
of jazz, funk and disco to get you moving into dinner.
Traditional Italian apperitivo derives from the concept of
opening ones’ palate in an environment in which participants socialize, relax
and snack as dinner approaches, unlike the commonly known Americanized
interpretation of "happy hour". Da Maria embraces this tradition in
their outdoor courtyard offering classic apperitivo such as Aperol Spritz,
Negronis and Americanos which are paired with Arancini Di Risso and newly added
Baccala crostini with olives, fennel and extra virgin olive oil.
Move from the courtyard into one of two of Da Maria's expansive
restaurant areas, where the experienced team will guide you through the
ever-evolving menu into a dinner experience with emphasis on simple, fresh and
uncomplicated Italo dining.
Dinners at Da Maria have been one of the Osteria style
restaurants biggest features since opening in November and has continued to
keep diners coming back for more as the food and beverage offering continues to
develop, whether you're sharing the house made gnocchi alla sorrentina or you
have chosen the beautifully earthy and light crispy skinned fish of the day
with braised lentils, fermented chili and rocket.
After dinner you find yourself shifting from dining to disco
with the need for one last drink in the front bar to finish the meal. This is
when the evening gets underway blurring the lines between restaurant, bar and
club the Pizzeria finds its’ feet with a combination of disco and house that’ll
have you dancing and enough drinks will have you ordering a late night pizza
from 10pm – close. Late night pizza + disco + 528Hz is a nightly occurrence and
it is reflective of the notion that every night is like a Friday in Bali.
Mixed drinks such as the NO.147 with vodka, coconut,
pineapple, passionfruit, lime and falernum as well as the house favourite NO.8
with Campari, vodka and grapefruit
stay true to Maurice Terzini’s
classics whilst reflecting the tropical vibes of the Indonesian archipelago.
As usual music plays an integral role in shaping Da Maria’s
overall concept, with the likes of Frankie Knuckles, John Coltrane and Larry
Levan as some of their biggest music influences the transition from apperitivo
into dining followed by Late Night Pizza + Disco + 528Hz is not only seamless
but ensures the customer an entire evening of Italo Dining and Disco in a single
venue.
