Right in the thick of the Negen straatjes (“nine streets”) district, Bussia delivers a unique brand of stylish country chic: with an interior featuring a lot of wood, plain but thick tablecloths, and oversized cutlery and wine glasses. The service is very friendly and informed, providing a warm and personable welcome.

Boasting fine Italian cuisine, the restaurant also offers a magnificent wine list that is equally Piedmont-oriented, with a large selection of macho Barolos and Barberas alongside the many wines made from Nebbiolo and Dolcetto grapes that are so popular in that region.

The meals are just as earthy and rustic with ingredients like truffles, porcini mushrooms, plums, nuts and fontina cheese.
