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!!

We made a reservation and we were hoping for a nice evening out. They put us in the bar underneath a wide screen TV playing a soccer game and said they cannot control who makes a reservation on OpenTable. We left immediately.

Calamari was tough like rubber. When I told the waiter, he said some people like it crispy. I said this is not crispy, it’s tough. I made him taste it and admit it.
