Welcome to

Bussola Italian Restaurant

Award winning Bussola is 3 restaurants in 1 concept, offering a suitable venue for any occasion to a varied clientele.

From signature dining experience in the lower restaurant to a more casual ambience in the upper deck pizzeria. From a pre-dinner drink in our Bussola Lounge watching the sunset, to our famous Aperitivo night on Saturdays.

The restaurant selection is attracting all guests craving Italian cuisine. It offers traditional menu, that is a true interpretation of the Chef, a revived dream of Italian cuisine going outside the schemes to offer something different.
