Reviews for La Bussola Restaurant in Kelowna, BC
I called ahead to see if they had some vegan options. The chef prepared me an eggplant parm that was so yummy, it was... incredible. Josh was a great server and I enjoyed my experience. Thank you. Read more
Wanted Italian food in Kelowna. Was kind of underwhelmed by the decor inside. Staff were really friendly though. The bruschetta... was good and flavourful. Mains were good portion sizes although felt the gnocchi was quite chewy. Were disappointed that theragu of the day was made with white fish? Never heard that before. It was good, not great. Don?t know if we would come back? Read more
Very nice Italian restaurant,I will come back again
What a lovely, romantic restaurant in a buzzing part of town. Our dinners were excellent-everything was fresh and tasty. The... staff was attentive and knowledgeable, the wine list is impressive, with many hard to find bottles in the beautiful wine cellar( many of the wines are available at their sister wine store by UBCO). This is the Italian restaurant you want to go to forspecial occasions or just a really great night out for a lovely dinner and a nice Italian wine. Read more
Appies and Entrées were on point, maybe even excellent. The dessert was a huge fail. The tiramisu was covered in chocolate... power and was only a chocolate wafer and whipped cream. The creme caramel was disappointing also. Tiramisu was the worst everhad, had one bite and left it. Overall a good experience but they need to fix their desserts! Great meal that fell flat at theend. ***A stern word of caution *** make sure you order/ recieve the correct wine. We had an issue when ordering (which I willaddress with management) and somehow we received and consumed 2 x $1, 500.00 bottles of wine without realizing that's what wasopened!! I strongly believe a huge server error was made as that's not what I ordered, so make sure you double check your wineprior to receiving it!!! Read more
This italian restaurant has a long history in Kelowna the service was amazing the drinks were great and cocktails great! the... food however....The restaurant had the feeling of a retirement home or an old boys golf club. Charcuterie was poor for the price6 tiny cubes of cheese 1 pickle some white currants and a selection of meats with 3 crackers. main course didn't fare muchbetter the baked shrimp pasta wasn't great pasta and sauce were fine but the shrimp were dry and tasteless for $42 the meat raguhad not meat apart from 3 tiny quarter inch pieces of chicken. we paid our bill as we appreciate to go out for dinner and theservice was great, we won't be going back. I could see that there were many returning customers in there who seems delightedwith their food but honestly it wasn't good? sorry Read more
We had the BEST time at La Bussola last night! The food was delicious and full of flavour. The staff were expetionally friendly,... helpful, and humble. Being Italian I have high standards for Italian food-this place definitely surpasses that! 10/10 wouldrecommend for a fine dining evening out:) thanks again for the wonderful service. Read more
Took my wife for her birthday. Had a bunch of people tell us to come here. My parents said it's there favorite. We are a mid-30s... couple. We were greeted very quickly by 3 people and sat quickly which was nice. We did wait a very long time (~15min) to getany drinks or menu after being seated. Our waitress was very nice and helpful when she did make it to us. There was a coupleempty tables so it wasn't insanely busy. Food was good but I will say we were both expecting amazing for the price. Not the mostamazing experience for the price but it is post COVID and staff issues I'm sure played into it. Will give another chance at somepoint in the future. Read more
