Best pizza in Florence! (Which makes it amongst the best in the world in our opinion ;) Get the margherita with mozarella di bufala or the pizza funghi prosciutto…

Still the best pizza. I last visited Florence almost 20 years ago and used to always have pizza at La Bussola, because the pizza toppings are delicious and the base is perfect and very slightly crisp underneath. I was so happy to eat here again. The waiters were friendly and attentive as before. I look forward to my next visit.

Excellent! Our best meal in Florence. Francesca was so kind and friendly accommodating us last minute. Our waiter, Umberto, recommended the perfect wine, pizza, pastas & apps. Everything was delicious! Make sure to visit La Busola, a family run restaurant!

The back room near the kitchen where we were seated was noticeably less attractive than the front room, but I can’t really complain about that as we made our reservation only about three hours earlier. Service was reasonably prompt but not very welcoming. My husband loved his orders of mussels and fish soup. My beans and pasta were OK. Florentine cuisine seems to have become overly focused on the famous bistecca fiorentina and not just at this restaurant. If you like beef, especially huge rare T-bones, you’ll be happy. Otherwise your choices will be limited.

An excellent restaurant with very efficient staff. Well-prepared dishes, short wait, but it is important to make a reservation in advance. We recommend it without hesitation.

Experience was faultless from start to finish. Chose venue to celebrate 25th wedding anniversary, and we were not disappointed. Staff so informative and helpful. Can't recommend restaurant highly enough.

Thank you for making our son with food allergies his favorite meal in Italy not once but three times. All of our meals were excellent and we appreciated Francesca’s friendly service. Best, The Delle Donne family

Good food and ambiance overall. Service was RUSHED beyond anything we’ve seen in a week in Italy. And the restaurant was not even full.

We’ve been coming to Florence for decades but this was our first visit to La Bussola. It was terrific. Great pizzas, pastas and a variety of meat courses. Wine list was heavy with Italian reds. Ambiance and service were great. We will be back.
