Okay from one Paul to another.
I have been to Bali many many times and a lot over the last two years. I have eaten many times at La lucciola and in my opinion you cannot go past it as the BEST restaurant in Bali. It is situated in North Seminyak on the beach. It is an alang alang (Grass) roofed double story place that ambience dripping from the rafters. It is essentially an italian restaurant and the food is sensational. Great eggs benedict for breakfast, just brilliant.!
To get there from kuta? Get a cab and head north up jalan legian to the end where the road swings to the left then about 250 yards the road swings back to the right. Here you go left down Jalan Oberoi and follow your nose down past the Oberoi, Resor Seminyak and Legian hotels. Here the road becomes Jalan Lasmana and just past the legian you will come to the Pertitinget Temple. Go to left of that into the Car Park and you are there.
It is quite expensive for Bali standards but worth every cent. You will have to book for an evening meal and don't be suprised if you have to wait a week. Yes it is that good, all those people cannot be wrong.
You can also go and just plonk yourself down on one of the 40 or so banana lounges and watch the surf as you sip cocktails all afternoon.
Ring them and book an evening (when in Bali ask your hotel for the number or dial 108 for directory and they will give it to you) and make sure you get there well before the sun goes down and take your camera as the setting is just well WOW!
This is a must for anyone going to Bali, don't eat there every night or you will need a second mortgage, however you must go at least once for dinner as your trip without it would be missing something
I hope this has helped
