Finding genuinely good pasta in Uluwatu is harder than it should be. Most restaurants in the area serve pasta as a side note on an otherwise unfocused menu — an afterthought for guests who do not want fish or grilled meat. At AMA by Ours, pasta is given the attention it deserves. Every dish is made in-house, built around Italian culinary tradition, and finished with ingredients that reflect the restaurant’s broader Mediterranean identity.
If you have been searching for homemade pasta in Uluwatu that holds up against what you would expect from a proper Italian kitchen, this is where that search ends.
Why Homemade Pasta Makes the Difference
The gap between dried pasta and fresh, house-made pasta is not subtle. Homemade pasta has a texture — a gentle resistance and softness that dried pasta cannot replicate — and it absorbs sauce differently, carrying flavour into every bite rather than sitting beside it. When a kitchen makes its own pasta, it signals a broader commitment: to doing things properly, to not cutting corners, to caring about what arrives on the plate.
AMA by Ours sits within a broader Italian culinary tradition. As one of the leading Italian restaurants in Bali, it brings the same discipline to its pasta programme that it applies to its wood-fired dishes and grilled meats. The result is a pasta menu that feels coherent and carefully considered — five dishes, each distinct, each worth ordering on its own terms.

| Pasta | Ingredients |
| Truffled ricotta ravioli | truffle butter, parmesan, black pepper |
| Fettuccine boscaiola | creamy mushroom sauce, spicy sausage |
| Linguini prawns | spicy nduja butter, cherry tomato |
| Pappardele beef ragu | artichoke, whipped ricotta |
| Wood oven lasagna | beef bolognese, bechamel, ricotta |
A Closer Look at Each Dish
Truffled ricotta ravioli — truffle butter, parmesan, black pepper
The ravioli is the most refined dish on the pasta menu and the one most likely to convert a first-time visitor into a regular. Truffle butter coats each pillow of ricotta-filled pasta, balanced by parmesan and a generous grind of black pepper. It is rich without being heavy — a dish that rewards slow eating. At 165k, it sits at the higher end of the pasta menu, and it is worth every rupiah.
Fettuccine boscaiola — creamy mushroom sauce, spicy sausage
Boscaiola translates loosely as ‘woodsman’s style’ — a classic Italian combination of mushrooms and pork that has been part of the tradition for generations. The version at AMA by Ours uses a creamy mushroom sauce and spicy sausage, creating a dish that is deeply satisfying and genuinely warming. The spicy sausage adds a heat that builds through the bowl. At 125k, this is the most accessible dish on the menu and one of the most comforting.
Linguini prawns — spicy nduja butter, cherry tomato
Nduja is a spreadable, intensely flavoured Calabrian pork product that has become a mark of serious Italian cooking. Using it as the base of a butter sauce for linguini prawns is a confident choice — the result is smoky, spiced, and deeply savoury, with the sweetness of cherry tomato cutting through the richness. This is the boldest dish on the pasta menu, and at 175k, the highest-priced — a reflection of both the ingredient quality and the complexity of the flavour.
Pappardele beef ragu — artichoke, whipped ricotta
Wide, flat pappardele holds a slow-cooked beef ragu in a way that narrower pasta cannot. The addition of artichoke and whipped ricotta gives this dish a lightness that keeps it from feeling too dense. The ragu itself carries the depth you would expect from a kitchen that takes its meat seriously — and the ricotta on top, softened and airy, ties everything together. A well-balanced plate at 165k.
Wood oven lasagna — beef bolognese, bechamel, ricotta
Lasagna is one of the most demanding dishes to execute well, and one of the easiest to do badly. The version at AMA by Ours is finished in the wood oven — the same oven used for the restaurant’s pizza programme — which gives the top layer a slight char and the edges a crispness that oven-baked lasagna rarely achieves. Beef bolognese, bechamel, and ricotta across well-layered sheets of pasta, at 155k, is honest, satisfying Italian food done with care.
Pasta and Pizza: The Full Italian Picture at AMA by Ours
The pasta menu does not exist in isolation. AMA by Ours operates a full Italian culinary programme — and the same wood-fired oven that finishes the lasagna is central to the restaurant’s pizza offering. The kitchen approaches both with the same discipline: quality dough, quality ingredients, Italian technique applied with Mediterranean sensibility.
If you are visiting with a group, the combination of a shared pasta dish and a wood-fired pizza gives you a table that covers the full range of what the Italian kitchen here can do. The pizza menu is equally worth your attention — particularly the breakfast pizza (peperoni, bacon, egg, mozzarella, tomato, chives) available during morning service, and the full pizza programme that runs every Monday evening as part of Pizza Mondays.
For those who want to understand the full scope of the Italian restaurant experience in Bali that AMA by Ours offers, the complete menu covers everything from antipasti through to dessert.
What to Drink with Your Pasta
The drinks programme at AMA by Ours is well-suited to the pasta menu. Here are the natural pairings worth considering.
| Pasta dish | Best paired with | Why it works |
| Truffled ricotta ravioli | Glass of white wine or French 75 | Delicate flavours need a drink that does not compete |
| Fettuccine boscaiola | Aperol spritz or red wine | Cuts through the cream and balances the spice |
| Linguini prawns | Ours margarita or sparkling white | The citrus and salt complement the nduja butter |
| Pappardele beef ragu | Red wine or lychee negroni | Rich ragu needs something with depth and tannin |
| Wood oven lasagna | Red wine or Aperol sour | Classic Italian pairing — robust flavours need a robust drink |
Gluten-Free Pasta: A Rare Option in Uluwatu
Every pasta dish on the menu can be made gluten-free for an additional 20k. This is not a common offering in Uluwatu — most kitchens do not carry a separate gluten-free pasta option — and it reflects the level of consideration AMA by Ours brings to its menu. If you or anyone in your group has dietary requirements, this is worth noting in advance when you make your reservation.

When to Visit for Pasta
The homemade pasta menu is available at both lunch (from 11am) and dinner (from 5pm). If you are planning a pasta lunch, the restaurant is generally quieter on weekdays between 11am and 1pm — a good window for an unhurried meal. For dinner, the atmosphere picks up from around 6pm and the full menu is in play.
On Monday evenings, the Pizza Mondays event runs from 6 to 10pm — 195k all-you-can-eat pizza, pasta, and salads with 395k bottomless wine available. It is the best value opportunity to try multiple pasta dishes in one sitting, and booking is required (minimum 2 people per table).
