La Baracca Bali (Seminyak) — Restaurant in Bali

I was inviting my friend to come over for a reunion here cz I went to La Baracca Canggu and Uluwatu and had kinda got good service (although towards local they kinda ignore them esp. when they come with a foreigner). This time, I kinda felt disrespected, is it because I'm a local? The waitress forgot the appetizers I asked, and informed me they had no "bolognaise and other stuff like Indonesian people usually have" girl I know, it's not my first time, I'm just tired with gnocchi, my favorite, and needed something fancier but I just lost my appetite. And when i asked for the bill, I placed my card, again the waitress hand the debit card to my friend. I was so ashamed, I think that'd be the last time I visit La Baracca. Really sad but yeah, it's kinda racist. I do have my dignity. 40-50 bucks ain't nothing for me, even for every night, but not for this nonsense? Could've spent more but glad I hadn't. Could've been a good reunion moment but it had been ruined. Grazie :)

Idk, could be a cultural thing, you know, I'M A LOCAL, I don't rly matter. What do I know abt Italian cuisine and manner? Lol.

EDIT: No, I didn't ask anything about bolognaise, I knew you didn't have this cheap meal. I hadn't even said anything, I was just looking at the menu looking for something else gnocchi (cz most of the time I always had it, but that night I wanted something else). The waitress suddenly told me that without me even saying anything like I am a total uncultured savage. Just. Let. Me. Choose. My. Meal. Worst experience. And the reply...

5/5 – A Standout in Seminyak

I came across La Baracca Bali through a few gluten-free blogs, most of which had led to fairly average experiences. This place was different from the moment we walked in.

The service was prompt, attentive and genuinely warm, easily outshining a “fine dining” spot we’d visited earlier in the week. The atmosphere is cosy and welcoming, with soft lighting and rustic furniture that make it feel like a home away from home.

As someone with coeliac disease, I was genuinely impressed by how thoughtfully the gluten-free options were handled. The staff were cheerful, knowledgeable and upfront, clearly explaining what was safe and what carried a cross-contamination risk. (Pizzas can be made gluten-free but aren’t coeliac-safe, which was communicated clearly and without fuss.)

We ordered the burrata and prosciutto, beef carpaccio, prosciutto croquettes, carbonara spaghetti, Parma pizza (not GF), and finished with a chocolate lava cake that stole the show. Everything was perfectly balanced, seasoned just enough to let the ingredients shine.

No alcoholic drinks this time after a long day in the sun, but the food alone made it memorable. La Baracca quietly gets everything right: warm service, a welcoming atmosphere and food that...

TLDR: Food was great, bad waitress service and attitude (except the manager which recommends us the food)

The lady manager(?) recommend us their most recommended pizza (forgot the name, but there’s a photo).

Welcome bread was great, soft bread with acidic olive oil and some round bread with tomato sauce and cheese(?). Then come the pizza which is tasty, tuna tartare taste good as well. Overall nice food.

The negatives: after we finished our food, waitress rapidly took our plates, and unnecessarily trying to clean our tables while we’re still sitting there. A bit of a clean up is okay but she’s trying to clean everything in front of us while me and my wife were still talking. Pretty sure this is a restaurant with a candles, not a petrol station. some water splashing from above, probably water leakage from the ceiling which is normal, but when I report it to head waiter while I’m paying, he ignores me and rushes back, even though there’s only 1 other table besides us. some “hygiene” issue needs to be addressed as well. A huge roach appeared from the wall beside where my wife...
