Was not too happy with the fact that every items is ordered seperatley, service and food are good but expensive. Staff seems friendly but a bit stuffy. There is nicer places and more reasonalbly priced places to go.

La Bussola has been a Kelowna restaurant favorite for many years. Since moving to their new location, the family has continued to offer their delicious Italian dishes in an updated, but classic environment, complete with a well-stocked wine cellar as a part of the decor. We enjoyed a delicious New Years meal here this year- wonderful pastas, veal dishes, and... More

Great italian menu. A little pricey but you pay for what you get and all I can say was that the food was delicious! So no complaints here.

My wife and I celebrated our 28th wedding anniversary with a fine dinner at La Bussala. The ambiance was nice. We were away from the windows against a side wall that offered us a bit of privacy. The menu was varied although we both chose veal dishes after a lengthy perusal. Very nice wine menu as well, with a good... More

La Boussla is our favourite Kelowna restaurant to dine out on special occasions. Everyone there is attentive and very courteous. On our last visit, we asked for a secluded table at the back of the restaurant. We arrived early and shared some wine. After the table candles were light, the room lights were dimmed and my wife was unable to... More

On a recent visit to Kelowna, we dined with friends at La Bussola one night. When we arrived, the music was so loud that we could hardly have a descent conversation. After asking the waiter a few times to turn the music down, they finally did. Then, we began a wonderful evening. The waiter was attentive and allowed us time... More
