About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • 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 and service were terrific. The noise level was so high that it made it difficult to hear everyone at our table.

    This was one of the best and most authentic Italian meals I’ve had in a long while (other than when I cook). It reminded me of my family meals from forty years ago. If you have a chance to eat at one of their restaurants do yourself a favor and go! Delicious food with generous portions and that includes the wine!

    Family style with a party of 4 or more this is best way to enjoy dinner. Being able to try 4 or 5 different plates between apps and mains is great. The service is fantastic and if you’re the one who gets to take home what’s left, lunch tomorrow is going to be special.

    We had the Chilean Sea Bass $46 and the Veal Osso Buca $57. Entrees were very expensive, but large. Dining room was so loud, we couldn’t enjoy conversation. Grilled artichokes were not as good as usual. Guests said baked clams and burrata were very good.
