Fantastic! My sister took us here for a family dinner, and wow it was amazing!…read more Authentic Italian foods and 5 star hospitality. We arrived right on time for our reservation, but the table was not quite ready as the previous party was taking their time to settle their bill. The owner took us to be seated in the gallery area and brought us some champagne and fresh bruschetta to snack on. I was blown away by the delicious and generous appetizer. We were not at all upset to wait for the table, but the fact he went above and beyond just really set us up for a great night. Once we did get our table, we were quick to order a few pastas from Rome. The front of house manager/ owner is the husband of the talented chef, so he was able to give us some recommendations. The complimentary bread comes with a great quality olive oil and the most delicious, aceto balsamico for dipping. I literally have been hunting for a balsamic vinegar that tastes even slightly similar. The meal was amazing. Burrata Speck I think it was (it's burrata with speck layered over top) was AMAZING. Great balance of flavours and the burrata was a delicious, fresh milky taste. I can't handle much oil, so I already knew the pasta with all the cheese and olive oil, wouldn't settle well in my stomach. Luckily, I'm with my whole family so I was able to just take a little taster of everything. We really loved everything we ordered. The cacio e pepe was delish! Salty from all the parm but a creamy sauce and perfectly cooked pasta. We also got the Carbonara which I found to be too salty after having the Cacio E Pepe. It tasted very good though! We also got a fettucini I think with ragu which was such a lovely depth of flavour. We also got some kind of a pork shank which is HUGE and came with some delicious roasted fingerling potatoes and I think pork lard. Pork is not my cup of tea, but I will say it was cooked very well and had a great taste. Seasoned beautifully! The staff were so friendly throughout the whole dinner and we had such a great time. I highly recommend reserving a table because they were fairly full all night long.

It was suggested that we stop in around 8:30 PM and they may be able to take drop ins. That is exactly what we did as it's a short three minute stroll from our hotel. It's an unusual space with a couple of sliding garage doors and surrounded by glass, certainly not your prototypical Italian bistro. It somehow works, with the checkered table cloths and the impeccable service, especially what we received from Griff. The martinis were spot on, the Cacio e Pepe so good with a house white and a whole fish Pesce del Giorno disassembled at the table by the owner Danilo. The bread with EVOO and balsamic was also excellent. The entire experience has us longing to go back to Rome again. Danilo's Wife is the chef and a true star in the kitchen. She was taught in Rome and the authenticity of the food is amazing. We were even given a chance to talk to Danilo the following afternoon prior to opening where we were given tips on sights and restaurants in Rome for our upcoming trip. Our meals done, we were offered a couple of digestif's which just capped the meal off and again spoke of a true Italian experience. We can't wait to come back again, for Griff's service, and to share our experiences with the tips we were given by Danilo. It was a true 6 stars out of 5!

We requested for them to swap out the Buffala in the Buffala Caprese for the Buratta instead and they were happy to oblige. It was divine. Then for our second course, we had the classic Linguini Vongole. Psst! The portion is huge in Kelowna. Great for sharing. We really wanted to order more food but both my husband and I are small eaters. No chance to try the Entrés. But, we will likely comeback for more the next time we are in town. Instead of ordering another dish we opted to have their dessert . Their house made Spumoni Gelati consisted of pistachio, vanilla and chocolate (again, very generous with their portion, three giagantic balls of the best gelato your money could buy). The long and short of it is, they have great service, food and desserts what more can one ask for. Needless to say, I would 100% recommend La Bussola to everyone that visit Kelowna. Forget about all other Italian joint. I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE. Well done!

I'm not sure if that's the norm in Canada or maybe in North America, but in Hawaii, OSF isn't a popular restaurant at all. We came in with a large group and Ang helped us. She was so nice. I can't believe she was able to keep all of my family happy (there were 21 of us) and keep a smile on her face. Amazing. She's the best server I've had in awhile. She made sure everyone got the correct orders, refilled our bread and water. She even was patient enough to give us separate checks. I ordered the chicken penne with spaghetti noodles instead of penne noodles. It was ok. I think I'd stick to spaghetti with meat sauce next time. The French onion soup was a $3 up charge and a little on the salty side. I think the spumoni ice cream at the end is the highlight of the meal.
