You know what sign of a really good restaurant? There is a long queue. Massimo offer ice cream or some of you call it gelato and comprehensive traditional menu of Italian food. My sister who is a chef, recommend this restaurant, of course during my escape to Bali I must visit this. The restaurant located in Sanur area and have limited parking space if you are driving a car. But there are parking assistants who will guide you to the nearest available parking space. You fill find queue of customers wanting to purchase gelato. No matter the weather, there always queue in gelato line. Let’s talk about food. I have never been to Italy before so the only Italian food I’m aware are pizza and spaghetti from fast food chain, an American fast-food chain. I was amazed with the available menu from omnivore to vegetarian. I ordered risotto and a gnocchi pasta, with some sides as well. The taste blows my mind, it was amazing. So much better than expected. The portion is quite large for some, but it supposes good enough for hungry tummy. The gelato offers none but one of the best ice creams you can get in this island. They make different flavour for each day, so you can visit next day and try new flavour. I would recommend the waffle bowl, because the Bali heat will melt the ice cream faster than you can lick it. I tried the pistachio ice cream and it shall be my new favourite ice cream.

definitely one of the best italian restaurants in bali. massimo is our family favorite for ice cream. we always come to visit for the ice cream and they never disappoint. they've maintained their standards for years! we always order baby cup gelato (2 flavors) for IDR 20K which is insanely cheap for the quality and the premium flavor options that you're offered with. other ice cream cannot ever compare. my favorite flavor has always been lotus biscoff & tiramisu but this year marron glace has been my new obsession. i hope they add this flavor to other cities though i assume they're not as popular as others. we also tried their restaurant for the first time. it's located behind the gelato area. we ordered calzone 'mamma come brucia' and it was the best calzone we had. it was stuffed with stringy mozzarella cheese, tomato, spicy salami and hot chilli; but if you can't eat spicy food don't worry because it is not spicy at all. we spent around ~88k for the calzone which was, again, cheap for the quality and portion they served. service: the staff were very nice. we had three different waiters making sure our food was good & they were very attentive to our requests. ^^ atmosphere: i love the homey atmosphere. the staff are very friendly and altogether, the food tastes as if they're made with utmost love and care.

Exceptional Authentic Food. Friendly service. Affordable prices. Must visit if in Bali. This shop located in the centre of Sanur is most known for its gelato. But their pasta is also authentic and takes you back to Italy. The food is extremely fresh and they hand-make their food on site including the pastas, dough and cheeses. The complimentary fried dough balls is hot, crispy and have a bouncy texture inside - absolutely delicious. The pasta is cooked perfectly cooked to al dente and is a generous portion. It is evident they take care with the quality of the pasta in their dishes which pays homage to the Italian roots. The gelato is also fantastic - lots of traditional and experimental flavours to choose from and tastes great - even the matcha flavour! Service was attentive and we were asked during our meal if everything was okay. Even Chef Massimo came over for a chat which was a lovely touch They have plenty of seating undercover as well as a separate closed non smoking air conditioned room. Restrooms could be a little cleaner but acceptable. We loved this place so much we came back everyday during our stay in Sanur. Recommend booking at night as it can become quite busy. I can’t wait for my next visit to Bali so I can come back to eat here !

We came here at lunchtime on a weekday and I was worried that we'd have to wait for a table because the line for gelato was crazy long and there were a gajillion motorcycles parked out front. Luckily there was still plenty of space for us inside, though it was indeed busy. I had the scaglio something linguine with clams, fish and shrimp and it was delightfully light and fresh tomato seafood experience. I tried some of the A.O.P with arugula which was garlicky and satisfying. The pasta is al dente and well prepared. To start we had the calamari - fried baby squid with a light breading, which was cooked perfectly. By the end of the meal I understood why the gelato line was so long. The price is super reasonable and the flavor is stupendous. Pictured here are servings of 4 medium scoops. We tried hazelnut, dark chocolate, mint chocolate, oreo, milk chocolate - all of them were superb though my favorite is definitely hazelnut. An espresso to finish - not at all acidic, smooth as silk. Served with a chocolate covered espresso bean. (I thought it was just chocolate and the crunch really surprised me!) The service was attentive without being overbearing. We had a great experience and I look forward to going back for the pizza!

We visited Massimo for dinner. It came highly recommended even among the locals for their gelato ice cream. It is common to see a queue for their gelato ice cream right outside the restaurant. Walking into the restaurant past the ice cream entrance is the bar of the left and entrance to the restaurant right in the middle. We didn’t have any booking so we needed to wait approx 20-30 mins for a table. We waited at the bar area where you can order drinks before being seated at the table. The menu selection was pretty decent and the best part was that the pasta and cheese are one of the best cheese we’ve ever tried. The restaurant staff were very friendly and their service was impeccable. There was a small incident with one of the dishes, one of the staff was observant enough to check in with us and when we shared what happened. The staff was very responsive, they were apologetic and immediately took action to rectify the issue. It was their reaction to the situation that turned an unpleasant situation to a good experience. We were very impressed by their service recovery. As such we would like to commend the level of service of the restaurant and staff members and we will recommend Massimo to others.
