We had dinner here on an early Sunday and were the first in the dining room . It is a nice, cozy place with a simple , but thorough menu . The clams and mussels were both very good as appetizers- the fradiavolo sauce had a nice amount of heat . The Veal dishes at the table were very tender , and the Frutti Di Mare was also enjoyed. I was only ok with the cannoli and espresso . All in all , a very nice experience -w would come again

came here on Sunday around 12:30 to have breakfast place was crowded. staff friendly but service was very slow. I thought a bit expensive had two eggs, bacon, toast and homefries $10.95. The homefries were fried potatoes, doesn't anyone make homefries with onions, peppers, a bit of bacon fat anymore? Four people Bill was $53.00 we all had breakfast and coffee only. The young lady at the register was very charming, just saying.

An excellent small Italian Resturant. Great service (Sergio & Frank), clean everywhere including men's restroom. Everything from pasta, meatballs, bread and pizza dough made right there and excellent. Pizza with numerous types sold by the slice or whole. Fourteen the day we were here. Sauces are as good as it gets in any of the best Italian Restaurants I have experienced from Italy through the USA. Highly recommend!

It was a freezing weekday night so the restaurant wasn't exactly crowded. The owner (?) was very friendly and accommodating. I ordered something unusual, at least for me. It was a combination of pasta with fresh mozzarella and tomatoes - served hot - sort of a hot caprice salad on noodles. It was excellent, but could have been hotter. I'd go back.

Very cute and tastefully decorated. The food was excellent! Generous portions. Owner came over and introduced himself to our table. The waiters are very attentive. Great for date night or family dinners. Last night was our first visit and will definitely not be the last.

In this new era of high energy restaurants(read: unbearably noisy, and impossible to dine as couples) some months ago we decided to try our old favorites. La Bussola, though perhaps dated in it's decor, is decidedly an old world restaurant in the best sense. The service though sometimes inconsistent, is gracious, welcoming and unhurried, where you can spend the entire evening. The drinks are generous, The food is always excellent , plated beautifully, and the menu very fairly priced, the one exception being if you order pasta on the side-disproportionate.

La Spezia is a family style restaurant.... Go with at least four people to experience some variety. Even the half portions serve more than one person. Pasta dishes were very good. Many offerings of chicken and veal. Service professional with good descriptions of nightly specials.

Fritto misto was excellent; crunchy but not dry-very few shrimps. Wild mushrooms were very good but surprisingly did not have any chanterelles. The halibut was well prepared but served very very small portion. The country veal was delicious, but it was disappointing that it was served with tasteless potatoes and broccolis (over cooked or over heated)-what about pasta? Desserts; we ordered housemade, but the tiramisu was hard, no taste, stuck in a small martini shaped glass! The service was very minimal.

Oh, where have you been and how come I have just recently found you??!!! Real, old world Italian Restaurant with food that any foodie would drool over. Service is outstanding from filling water glasses to making sure every need it met without hovering. They start you with a basket of garlic bread smothered in garlic and crispness. Then a plate of cheese, olives and sliced meat are served. And we have not even ordered yet! Two of us had the shrimp fra diavolo (one was gluten free) and both were spectacular! The branzino was cooked to moist perfection and the veal marsala melted in your mouth. We were all members of the clean plate club-it was that good!
