  • 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!!

    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.

    I thought the food was terrible, I ordered Shrimp Oreganata in Marinara sauce and all I got was 12 shrimp in a puddle of Marinara with no pasta. The waiter didn’t even give me an option to order pasta. Will not go back.
