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!!

    Drove up from down south for Dr appointments and met my brother and sisters and spouses for dinner. Had a wonderful time and the staff didn’t rush us at all.

    Best Italian food period. Generous portions, outstanding and accommodating service, and delicious sauces make this one of favorite restaurants. Between the Westbury and Hauppauge locations, we’ve been customers for nearly 40 years. Can’t say enough good things about the place!

    Chicken Francese and Shrimp Arreganato were very tasty but but the Family style shrimp was not very big portion. So 2 family style dishes and 1 vegetable was not sufficient to satisfy 4 adults.

    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!
