Uluwatu is famous for big sunset venues and cliff-top dining. They are wonderful, but sometimes a date night calls for something smaller: a quiet table, a good bottle of wine and food you actually want to eat. That is exactly what CAVO Bar & Bistro was built for.
Why CAVO works for a date night in Uluwatu
CAVO is a small neighbourhood Italian bistro on Jl. Labuansait in Pecatu, Uluwatu, run by owners Mitch and Judith. The room is intimate, the lighting is low and warm, and the music is good without drowning out conversation. It is relaxed enough for a casual weeknight and nice enough to dress up for.
- Small and intimate: no crowds, no rush, and you can actually hear each other.
- Food made to share: Roman-style pizza, fresh pasta and generous antipasti.
- A proper drinks list: a curated Italian wine list and handcrafted cocktails, with a negroni or dirty martini at the wine-barrel high tables.
- Easy to get to: a few minutes from Padang Padang and Bingin.
Monday: Table for Two
Our dedicated date night is Table for Two, every Monday from 4 PM. For 599k for two, you get:
- One antipasto to start
- Two pizzas or pastas
- Two glasses of house wine
- A dessert to share
It is the simplest way to plan a date night in Uluwatu: one price, a full Italian dinner, nothing to overthink.
How to plan the perfect evening
Start with Aperitivo Romana (4–6 PM)
Every day from 4 to 6 PM, Aperitivo Romana brings chef’s antipasti, beer, house wine and spritz from 60k. Arrive early, order a spritz, and ease into the evening the Italian way.
Share the mains
Order one oval Roman-style pizza, made with dough fermented for 48 hours, and one fresh pasta, then split both. You get to try more, and sharing is half the fun. Browse the food menu before you come.
Finish with dessert and one more glass
Save room for dessert. Our dessert menu includes classics like tiramisu, and the wine list has something to pair with it.
Other great nights for a date
- Thursday, Pizza e Spritz: pizza and a spritz together, all day, with acoustic sessions in the evening.
- Wednesday, Pasta & Vino: pasta and a glass of wine, all day.
- Friday, Vinyl & Vino: from 7:30 PM with a vinyl DJ set, and happy hour from 10 PM to midnight. Livelier, perfect if your date night turns into a night out.
