With its tall glass windows, immaculately styled staircases, giant white canopies and cream and wood interior, Bussola is a feast for the eyes before you even appreciate its views. Located on two levels and overlooking The Palm and sparkling Gulf waters, this is a restaurant with a double agenda. On the ground floor, lies the comfortably chic dining room with a relaxing and cosy ambiance, while upstairs, under those gently swaying white canopies, is the casual and trendy al fresco pizza lounge and bar. For more intimate, romantic affairs, downstairs diners can choose from a deliciously extensive menu of classic and contemporary Italian delights, including the unmissable lobster ravioli – consisting of giant, home-made raviolis filled with fresh Omani lobster, basil, with crustaceous bisque and lobster ecume. Meanwhile, upstairs on the terrace, the Italian-made wood-fire oven produces a delicious and extensive range of mouth-watering pizzas, which are the only option on the menu. Bussola’s two-in-one concept makes it the perfect venue for all occasions.

Dress code: Smart casual downstairs and casual upstairs. No flip flops or shorts for men.
