Kelowna Hidden Gem｜This Italian Restaurant is a MUST-TRY! 🇮🇹✨

🍝 The Backstory: During Easter long weekend, our top picks (Gather & a Thai spot) were fully booked. Yelp came to the rescue with La Bussola – a vintage Italian joint since 1974 with rare 5pm availability. Skeptical at first, but oh boy, were we wrong! 🎭 The Mystery Dining Experience: No fixed menu! Chef crafts monthly seasonal menus (we love surprises) Daily specials based on fresh market finds and chef’s mood (how cool is that?) When my friend asked "Give us something off-menu!", the waiter grinned... 🍽️ Our "Trust-the-Chef" Meal: 🐟 Grilled Salmon with secret housemade sauce 🍝 Housemade Lasagne (Their LEGENDARY dish – lives up to the hype!) 🦪 Green Mussel Bowl (Fresh BC mussels in garlic white wine broth) 🍈 Prosciutto e Melone (Sweetest cantaloupe ever + silky ham) 🧀 Double Cheese Tart (Creamy ricotta + amaretto crust) 💯 The Verdict: $150 for 4 people (with tip) – insane value! Waiter even asked "Hǎo chī ma?" in Chinese (so unexpected 😂) That lasagne... chef’s kiss 📍 La Bussola 1451 Ellis St, Kelowna 📆 Pro Tip: Ask for "today's secret pasta" – always a win! #KelownaEats #OffMenuAdventures #ItalianHiddenGem #OkanaganFoodie
