Sofitel Bali’s Cucina delivers poolside Italian dining and an expansive weekend feast wrapped in relaxed Nusa Dua luxury. Poolside tables set an easy rhythm for handmade pasta, seafood risotto, and rich mushroom soup. Come Sunday, the energy shifts to an ambitious horseshoe buffet—freshly shucked oysters, live pasta tosses, burrata caprese, and a dedicated dessert room. Regulars quietly point to the wine-paired courses and poolside breezes that stretch dinner well past sunset.
- Signature Sunday Brunch: A sprawling horseshoe-shaped layout featuring live culinary stations, freshly shucked oysters, and a dedicated dessert room.
- Resort Italian Dinners: Al fresco poolside seating with standout seafood risotto, handmade pasta, and curated wine pairings.
- Family Programming: Live magic shows and face painting provide dedicated entertainment for younger guests during Sunday brunch.
