Good for special occasions
Neighbourhood gem
Great for fine wines

The original Steve's opened in 1991 on Old Country Road in the heart of Westbury. This is the newest and third location! It is owned and operated by the Vaccaro family who has been in the restaurant business for 40 years.

Steve's Piccola Bussola is Italian dining with big flavors, quality food, and dedicated service. Steve's revels in traditional, hearty southern Italian fare, but also touches on other regions as well. The sauces taste just as good now as they did when they opened twenty five years ago. They only use the freshest ingredients.

Steve and his son Joe are driven to give their customers the best experience possible from start to finish, antipasto all the way to dessert.

Come hungry!!

The food was good, but the service was one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had. It began with the valet ignoring us while he was moving cars and asking me to park my own car, which wasn’t a big deal. However, we then waited 5-10 minutes at the hostess station with no one attending to us, despite a sign that said ‘please wait here to be seated.’ I had to call the restaurant to get seated, which was frustrating. It took a long time to get a waiter, and once we did, he never checked on us throughout our meal. I suspect they might have been short-staffed, but the service was still atrocious.

Food and service were excellent. Baked clams were outstanding. Enjoyed the Occo buso and my wife enjoyed the pork chop. Escarole and beans was also excellent. Timing was perfect. This was our first visit, and definitely will be back.
