   Food was delicious. Service was poor for the price and stature of the restaurant. Dinner was rushed and service was slow. We order cocktails and had wine with dinner but the wine came significantly after dinner arrived.

   Always a great experience at La Bussola. Fantastic food and great atmosphere for a visit with friends. We’ve been going for decades and have never been disappointed.

   I would give a ZERO star if that’s possible. Worst experience ever with terrible service and food. The waiter just DID NOT care about our experience at all with the most terrible service attitude I have ever had. No apology for waiting an hour for two pasta after the appetizer came. Even the people came after us finished their dinner before we got ours. And the waiter is acting like that’s how it should be. Even made mistakes with the bill at the end. Unkind and unprofessional. I don’t know if that’s because we were the only Asian people at the restaurant that evening but I DO FEEL LIKE WE WERE TREATED DIFFERENTLY. Worst experience ever.

   One of the finest restaurants in the Okanagan. Fabulous menu that is always updated and one of the best wine lists you will find. I live this place and recommend it to all of my friends.

   Mother’s Day. Food was great as was service. Staff were very empathetic of my wife’s celiac disease and made her comfortable.

   We return to La Bussola when we're in Kelowna and always enjoy a warm welcome, and exceptional, knowledgeable service. The changing selection of daily specials, in addition to an already satisfying menu, is appreciated and well executed. As a party of four, all ordered different mains with resulting good reviews. The culinary choices range from "comfort food" to traditional fine dining options......something for everyone. Our waiter Cody was a charming, helpful fellow.

    Deceptively simple cuisine, but so well crafted. The skill put into each dish leaves most other Kelowna restaurants in the dust. Fine dining indeed!

    Great Service. Great food but a bit smaller portions from last time we were there. A bit noisy with some very loud laughter from another guests' table.

    Superb place to celebrate an event or have a date night. The food menu changes almost weekly and never disappoints. Enjoy their full range of selections and top it off with the tiramisu. It’s so tasty!

    Hands down the best intimate restaurant experience we have ever had. We had champagne waiting upon arrival that the sommelier would top up before we ever finished a glass, and was extremely professional. Our server was friendly and professional and knowledgeable about the food. We had the beef carpaccio and antipasto for an appetizer which was all extremely rich and flavorful. Our mains were the steak and fish of the day (salmon) which were also extremely delicious. They made us feel like the most important people in the room, it was fantastic. We will definitely be back. Thank you to all of the staff!

    If you are looking for the best Italian food in Kelowna look no farther. The food was fabulous, the sommelier is a very friend person who gladly imparts his knowledge of wine.

    Waited 15 minutes to get drinks. The Ragu pasta dish and the pasta a l’amatricana were under seasoned as was the Caprese salad. Mussels were ok but no sauce. Very disappointing for a high end restaurant.

    Everything was ok.. but nothing was amazing. Mozzarella tasted bitted. Every pasta dish just seemed to have one overwhelming item. Servers were humorous and between them, they did a good job, but overall it just was not what we anticipated.

    Service staff are pro and appropriate but we feel there is something wrong in the kitchen. We have no problem with price increases after two years of Covid but though presentation was excellent the overall tastes somehow did not reach a pinnacle exhibited by the prices. Desserts were excellent.

    Excellent meal. Service was perfect. Just one comment. Restaurant was very quiet and it was early but another table was seated next to us when there were very many tables to choose from. A little uncomfortable as we get back to post pandemic rules.
