One of the best most authentic traditional Italian restaurants in Kelowna, BC. I've been coming here for 49 years .

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 for special occasions or just a really great night out for a lovely dinner and a nice Italian wine.

Wine was great. Food was good. My dad said it was the best risotto he ever had. Overpriced for the amount of food you get though. Augustino was our server and he's a sweetheart.

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 would recommend for a fine dining evening out:) thanks again for the wonderful service.

For the last several years we have stayed in Kelowna on vacation. We were happy to find La Bussola and enjoyed their great food via take out last night. Next time we hope to dine in person as the restaurant looks first class. Thank you for the great meal again!
I eat out More than you
You have to read this! Since I moved to Kelowna I've been coming here. It's one of the last of the fine dining restaurants. Fantastic service and great old school Italian cuisine. A great local family business that I think is the og of Italian food in Kelowna. The owners are a great family. Loretta is the salt of the earth. It's like going home for dinner but your mom charges you. Great wine list fantastic staff and an upscale room. I've always wanted to marry into an Italian family. I have a crush on Italians. Any single Italian woman out there looking for a slightly over weight Brasilian with low motivation? Bonus points if you have money.

Catherine Wang
Service was good. Food and drinks tasted average for a fine dining place And a bit overpriced for the portion from my opinion.
Adhara Hodgson
The service was amazing - the staff were very polite and continued to make sure we were enjoying our experience.
The food was very good! Good portion size, especially in Kelowna, can be difficult to find decently portioned meals.
I had the special of the day, which was Ragu Penne with a red tomato sauce.
My friend had the risotto.
The dessert was a chocolate mousse cake. It was so light and delicious!
They have a large selection of wines, the sommelier helped us decide which one to go with!

Polite and professional staff
The food was expensive. The taste was really good but not a wow.
I expected more items in the menu (they don’t have Italian pizza)
Generally, I enjoyed my experience.
Anthony Costa
The best Italian food in town! Fantastic experience all around. Service was top notch, setting was elegant (without being pretentious), the menu has something for all your taste buds, food is fresh and delicious and their expansive wine list/great sommelier will have the right bottle for you. The veal piccata is the best! Classic dining and will definitely return.

Kathryn Warkentin
Such a lovely dining experience! The food was wonderful and there was a great wine selection. The restaurant was busy and all the staff and patrons seemed happy to be there. I would definitely recommend la Bussola if your looking for a true Italian experience.

This was out first time at the restaurant. Very good food and excellent service! Victor was our waiter. Very knowledgeable and friendly. We will be back again.
Theresa Leitch
Thank you very much for hosting our Christmas Party. Our staff had a great time. They drank much more and stayed much later than normal which is a good sign. We appreciated having time at Bar Narcino to give our gifts and hear some speeches. We couldn't have done that in a restaurant. Please thank Loretta and James and the others - you all treated us very well - and the food of course was fabulous - as usual.
Suzanne Le Stage
Absolutely love everything about La Bussola! The amazing food, wine and staff. Small & intimate a little treasure <3
Bill Parise
If you want home cooked Italian food with a true family experience this is the place to visit. I love that Lauretta and Francesco always made their place feel warm and inviting. Maria and I will visit again some day...
Don Black
Each year at this time we take a group of good friends for the La Bussola 'experience'. It is always absolutely terrific - and this time was no exception. Stephen's wine red & white recommendations were perfect for the tastes of all 30 of our guests - and each an every person savored their individual menu choice from momma's kitchen. Each of my friends tell me that they always look forward to this meeting each year. Thank you again momma & Stephen. See you again next June.
