I have had scores of meals over the course of many years. La Bussola is my personal favorite restaurant. Ambiance and service have always been first class. I have been proud to host international guests in the gourmet food industry, with satisfying results. But, it is the food that makes me continue visiting. My guests say that the Osso Bucco is world class, but I havent eaten meat since the 70s. For me, it is the salad, the sautéed greens, the seafood. They are great at the indigenous cuisine of LI, shellfish. Zuppa de pesce is fantastic. My late father was a connoisseur of linguini with white clam sauce. Simple right? But he said it was the best he ever had. Lately I have discovered a new favorite, organic salmon, pan seared. I am going back to have it again with my family on Saturday. For years I tried to copy their snapper livornese. I made many great copies, but the best is still on the menu at La Bussola. And they serve the fish with little potato croquettes. Yummy!

A five star Italian place in Glen Cove? OMG YES. Maitre d Carlo and his executive chef brother Marco inherited the family business. This is no low brow pizza joint. It is the finest of dining -- and yes, you pay for it -- for a fickle foodie. My first visit here was at the recommendation of a funeral director after my beloved stepmother passed away. When Carlo mentioned Zabaglione was a dessert special of the day, I was sold even before the olive oil and fresh bread were set on the white tablecloth. Darn, she would have loved it. We returned when my father passed away. Now it is our only destination for excellent five star Italian food. Go ahead, you take Manhattan. Me, Ill take La Bussola, a table near Carlo, and Marco in the kitchen, and die very happy.

Coming from great-cooking Italian ancestry, Ive always struggled with finding an Italian restaurant that I truly enjoy. My Sicilian father and I both agree that La Bussola offers great, authentic tasting Italian food. It may be weird to say, but they have a great Caesar Salad with delicious tasting dressing (not too heavy). This is a nice place to take Italian family members who are hard to please with restaurant dining. Of course this is a great place for people of every nationality as well!

Not worth being cold from the ac or picking the shell and legs off my shrimp cocktail- Desert I ordered a fruit platter, A Large dish with a piece of melon sliced,a strawberry sliced,sum walnuts and grapes all spread out with fancy swirles of chocolate syrup to fit dish-I will spend money to go out and enjoy but for this was a waste!

I am never disappointed with the quality and selection of their classic Italian menu. The atmosphere is always warm and inviting and the waitstaff is knowledgeable and professional.

My family has been coming to this restaurant for over 30 years. Whenever I come home from school we make sure to get food from here at least once.
