Starfish Bloo x Amici: a One-Day Italian Brunch

W Bali – Seminyak brings a limited-edition Sunday Brunch to Starfish Bloo on 22 February, teaming up with Amici to present contemporary Italian dishes shaped for an easy, daylight service by the beach. The collaboration leans on Amici’s modern reading of Italy’s classics, guided by the vision of Enrico Bartolini, whose restaurants collectively hold 14 Michelin stars.

The Starfish Bloo x Amici menu opens with small plates designed to share before moving into pasta and a composed sweet finish. Focaccina al Tonno layers pizza bread with tuna tartare, lime zest, stracciatella, and gomasio for a clean balance of sea, citrus, and cream. Spaghetti alla Vaccinara reframes a Roman staple: home-made spaghetti with wagyu tokusen oxtail ragout and a pecorino romano DOP sauce that adds savoury lift without heaviness. Parmigiana di Melanzane keeps to the essentials of baked aubergine, Grana Padano sauce, and basil cream, with the formidable Amici Tiramisu closes with house-baked ladyfingers, mascarpone, and espresso.

Set against Starfish Bloo’s oceanfront outlook, the format encourages unhurried pacing and a mix-and-match approach to courses. Service keeps the focus on clarity of flavour and presentation, with dishes sized for sharing across the table or ordering in sequence. The hotel’s signature Sunday energy remains intact with music, sea breeze, and a lively dining room, while the kitchen’s direction for the day narrows in on Italy’s textures and timing.

A concise collaboration, one seating, and a menu that reads straight from the kitchen’s intent: familiar flavours, tidy execution, and an afternoon built for lingering by the water.
