Our reservation was at 8:30, we didn’t get seated until 9. We ordered entrees and appetizers at the same time. Our appetizers arrived 45 minutes later. We finally asked our server to make our meals to go. So we spent a total of an hour and a half and only received 2 slices of mozzarella and tomato, and 4 meatballs. Gratuity was already included in the bill, so our server made $30 for stopping at the table 3 times, and we didn’t even eat dinner. I’ll never be back, what a disappointment.

We did not know that the regular menu would not be available that evening and we were there for favorite dishes. First waiter crisply announced that the prix fixe was the only one that night and left. Next waiter was more receptive and went to ask permission for the regular menu. From then on, everything was lovely. Place was jammed (Valentine's Day), so we didn't expect the regular prompt service, but we did begin to feel as though we were being ignored until that second waiter took over. Lesson learned and the place does remain a favorite.

I've been here many times. Everything was great, but as the evening wore on service lacked. I had to ask for our water 2x..so that was annoying. Otherwise we really enjoy this restaurant.

I grew up in Huntington going to Piccola Bussola with family and friends and moved out east over 20 years ago. Some of my old friends decided to get together and met up in Huntington. The restaurant was updated of course and beautifully decorated, staff and owner John welcoming food was delicious. We went on a Friday at 6:30 it was full but we were not rushed service was great. We started with some family apps grilled octopus, eggplant meatballs, baked clams followed by entrees none of us had a not one bad thing to say or to pick about. We are looking forward to our next meet up with even more friends who may of forgotten how delicious Piccola Bussola is ! Thanks so much. .
