Great ambient, delicious food and reasonably price - great romantic gateway

Was searching for a nice dinner date with my wife and really glad that I found this place. Food tasted very refined like fine dinner but at reasonable price. The ambient is romantic. The platter is a must have. Delicious and comes with either 2 wine or beers.

It has become our favourite restaurant.

The staff are very friendly. The food is delicious. The ambience is nice.

We recommend trying the sharing platter for the starter.

Pros: Lots of vegan options.

Good quality food and nice ambience

I had the 3 course lunch set at $19.90. The main I hv tried, the cauliflower sauce spaghetti. I was hell impressed! Ordinary it may seem, the ingredients for the sauce are uniquely blended and marinated to perfection. And I was shock to know that it didn't contain any alliums. A simple dish yet alluring enough to make me want to go back for more.
As for the ambience, needless to say. Vegetarian dining in paradise. The only pure veg place that offer such experience. I can't wait to have a romantic dinner there soon.

Quality Italian Vegetarian

We came to La Bussola for dinner. It has a nice atmosphere with indoor and outdoor seating. It feels like an escape from the busy city and is very relaxed. The menu has clearly labelled vegan options, including stuffed mushrooms, panzanella, soup, salad, gnocchi, and pasta. The menu as a whole is not huge. We tried the panzanella, gnocchi and pici. All of them were very tasty. They also have nice wine. For dessert, we tried a vegan chocolate cake/tart, that was amazing. A bit on the expensive side, but you get your money's worth. Great place for a date night.

Pros: Nice atmosphere, Tasty

Great food, service and wonderful ambience

Loved the vegetarian platter which the Chef accommodated by changing some items to make it vegan. Thanks Carlo! The freshly made gnocchi was refreshing and just a little spicy exactly the way I like it. The chestnut cake with coconut was a lovely way to end the meal. Felt very attended to by Dory and Chef Carlo! I’ll be back for more!

Amazing Vegan Italian Food

I'm really glad this place was established! They are still in the process of introducing more vegan options so the menu does not look very vegan-friendly at a glance, but just let the chef know you're vegan and he'll produce a side menu of vegan specials that are NOT just vegetarian dishes minus the cheese. From spaghetti with a walnut-based cream sauce to monkey-head mushroom cacciatore, I was wowed by the creativity and sophisticated taste of the items. I highly recommend vegans give this place a try to let the chef know there's plenty of demand for vegan Italian food!
