Tobia's Bali, Indonesia (part of Bali Guide)

Tobia's is an intimate and authentic trattoria tucked away in the bohemian travellers district of Jalan Benesari. It features typical Mediterranean decor and a European style canopied sidewalk terrace. Walls are decorated in quintessential Italian scenes, which are in striking contrast to a brightly lit cocktail bar that serves up tropical juices and ice cold beer. The main menu is a simple affair, with home cooked canalloni, risotto and pastas all with a choice of meat or fish. Tobia's is renowned for its fresh paninis and offers healthy and filling sandwiches, chicken steaks and burgers for lunch. Prices are exceedingly cheap, and the weekly Italian buffet is a big hit and represents unbeatable value. The restaurant has a wifi connection and sports action on the large TV screen. -Ray Montgomery
