Il nostro pasto magnifico, from the antipasto, to the fresh fish and meat platers to the refreshing watermelon and lemon gelato everything was perfecto! The service was amazing, the owners so welcoming and the price unbelievable! There were 8 of us and the price would have been triple in the States. So glad we found this place! Thank you Trattoria La Bussola for our favorite meal yet, with love The Italian Americans
