We had a great table upstairs overlooking the pass so we could watch the food being prepared. The restaurant was heaving with people but service was friendly, personal and not noisy. e went for the tasting menu six course which was great value and just the right amount. Highly recommended for a special evening

what a great little restaurant, right around the corner from our Hotel. The room is pleasant the staff have their timing down perfect. They know what they are serving and are familiar with all of the dishes. Great little wine list to go along with the very very tasty food.

Atmosphere is nice, service uneven (very pleasant but e.g. had to keep asking for water), food looked beautiful but was bland. Definitely not worth the price.

We visited Bussia for my husbands birthday lunch. We were welcomed, and shown to a lovely table in the window, and the waitress wished my husband happy birthday. A good start to an amazing experience. The menu structure is great, it is possible to choose from three or four courses for a set price, or to choose the dishes individually.... More

The food was fine, nothing exceptional. They seemed to have put in more energy into the presentation of the food and inflating the bill than in the food, which is a shame. To be clear: the food is certainly better than in a standard place, but as they are charging premium prices you would expect a bit more. Service was... More

We emailed and booked 1 week beforehand for a Saturday night dinner. I thought they had 2 sittings, but our table was at 7:15 and we left at 10:10. Other tables who came at the same time were not replaced by second sitting people! We chose the tasting menu. There is an option of 4,5 or 6 course tasting menu.... More

This was recommended by the Pulitzer Hotel. The food here was as good as we have had in Italy. Save room for the chocolate dessert.

Visited in early May 2013. Elegant and warm, very pleasant and professional service. Food at our luncheon was delightful and creative. Extensive (and a bit pricey) wine list. Overall, an excellent meal.
