" I visited La Bussola last week for dinner with a few friends, and it was a delightful experience! The service was impeccable, and our server was knowledgeable about the menu. I ordered the gnocchi and it was heavenly, soft and pillowy just like I remembered from my travels in Italy. The atmosphere was cozy, perfect for a night out. Highly recommend this place for anyone seeking authentic Italian food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been to many Italian restaurants, and La Bussola is one of the best I've encountered! The handmade pasta was divine, and the sauces were made from scratch—so flavorful. My partner and I shared a few dishes, including the calamari, and it melted in our mouths! Service was fair, but the food was definitely the highlight. Will come back for special occasions for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" It was great to finally try La Bussola! The food was fresh, and you could taste the quality in every bite. The service staff were polished and attentive. Every dish we sampled had its own unique flavor profile. However, I wish the portion sizes were larger considering the prices. That said, I would definitely return for more delicious food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Came here based on a friend's recommendation, and I was left with mixed feelings. The decor was charming but slightly outdated, which didn't bother me too much. I ordered the special of the day, which was supposed to be a ragu, but it was not as flavorful as I had anticipated. The service was prompt, and my salad was fresh but the portion sizes seemed lacking for the prices they charge. Overall, not a bad experience, but I might explore other options next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, I had a pleasant experience at La Bussola. The tomato sauce on my pasta was quite flavorful but I was hoping for a heartier serving. The ambiance made for a lovely evening, but the portion sizes left me a tad disappointed for what we paid. Consider it a fine dining spot with some room for improvement. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely dinner here last week! The quality of ingredients was prominent in every bite. I enjoyed the handmade ravioli filled with ricotta; it was lovely! However, I found the desserts not up to par with the rest of the meal. The service was attentive, and I loved the overall vibe of the restaurant. Would recommend but maybe skip dessert. " (*Curated Review*)

" I took my family for dinner to celebrate my wife's birthday at La Bussola, and we had a great time! The pasta was so fresh, and I thoroughly enjoyed my seafood linguine. The wine selections were fantastic too. The staff was warm and welcoming, adding to the overall fantastic atmosphere. We will be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)
