Terzini says he was inspired by the Amalfi Coast, so expect plenty of biodynamic Italian wines and refreshing cocktails on the drinks list. Pictured: N.61 with Mancino Secco Vermouth, Tanqueray Gin, orange bitters, and watermelon.

Da Maria, Bali: exclusive first look
It’s the most long-awaited Australian restaurant that’s not actually in Australia: Maurice Terzini has this week unveiled Da Maria in Bali. The power restaurateur behind Icebergs, Da Orazio and the Dolphin Hotel in Sydney has been exploring the idea of an osteria-style eatery in Seminyak for some time. “These are exciting times for Balinese culture,” Terzini told delicious.com.au. “The island is becoming way more sophisticated.” Check out our exclusive slide show of the buzzy new restaurant-and book your trip to Bali.
Pizza heaven
Da Maria draws inspiration from Da Orazio in Bondi Beach, which means a handsome parade of Neapolitan pizzas.
From the sea
Executive chef Steven Skelly has devised a suitably languid menu highlighting local seafood, including prawns and octopus, prepared on a grill.
Fresh and light
Or have your fish raw, such as this zesty snapper crudo with chillies.
A little bit of Abruzzo in Bali
Arrosticini are delectable skewers of lamb, a dish that stems from the Italian region of Abruzzo.
Best followed by...
Perfectly made cotoletta of veal with capers is typical of Skelly’s deft touch with meat.
Could easily sit here all day
The décor is Capri meets Bali: Rome-based architects Lazarini Pickering used a breezy blue and white colour palette with splashes of marigold.
Iced affair...
Finish up with a caffe freddo, an Italian iced latte.
