The pizza at La Busola was an excellent version of this ubiquitous dish! We particularly liked the crust. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing.

We love La Bussola and visit every year when we come back to Florence. The Chianti Carbonara is amazing!

The pizza was amazing. The service was uninterested boring on angry. The pasta and risotto was not any better than a mediocre American restaurant. If you go here order pizza and nothing else.

The presentation could have been improved—a small portion of fries and a fried steak wedge didn’t quite meet expectations, especially at €25. Unfortunately, the overall experience was underwhelming, and it took nearly 20 minutes to receive the bill after the meal. Regrettably, I wouldn’t choose to return.

We had been on a family vacation in Tuscany, and decided to eat at this restaurant in Florence before we all parted ways. it was on the recommendation of a friend who had been there in early May. They were 10 of us which can be a little bit chaotic. Our server was phenomenal. I wish I had gotten her name . Her English was excellent and her recommendations were spot on. I’ve been in Europe many times and eaten in many great restaurants. This restaurant has to be one of the best that I’ve been to anywhere in Europe. Everything that anyone had was superb . the risotto special for the night was to die for. I was having temporary mobility issues and going downstairs to the Ladies room was going to be a challenge. Our server noticed me heading that way and hesitating, and she directed me out toward a separate restroom near the front of the restaurant. The prices were more than fair for the quality of our meals.
