On a recommendation I visited this wonderful restaurant. Christian (the owner) is relaxed and attends to you to a high level of service along with his staff. The food is of a high quality and there is nothing the chef will not do for you if you require something from off the menu ! It is by the beach just... more

La Bussola truly represents Italian cooking and wines better than any other on Antigua. It is family owned and managed and has a very friendly and helpful wait staff. Outstanding wine list and a expansive menu covering many fresh Italian recipes. more

I love this spot and in fact got married here when it was Julians restuarant. The latest incarnation sees a family run Italian. The service is good with a well stocked bar and regular quality entertainment. The food is good quality with a talanted Italian chef making best use of local ingredients. more

Not for me

My fish antipasti didn't really taste fresh at all (as it wasn't), and for all its fancy presentations couldn't... more

La Bussola is a relatively new restaurant, and my husband and I are so grateful to now have it on what is a very small 'fine dining' scene in Antigua. The restaurant is located on Runaway Bay, in the former home of (well-known Antigua chef) Julian Waterer's former French restaurant. The place has been thoroughly redecorated with careful attention to... more
