Steve's Piccola Bussola Restaurant

So Disappointing!!! We ordered take out for my husbands birthday and the clams were delicious... but the bread was absolutely inedible! Sorry, but we like to dip our bread in the clams juice...which is why we order it, and this bread was doughy and down right disgusting! I find it hard to believe that they serve the same bread in the restaurant, because customers would leave!! Call Cardinali for a bread delivery so you understand what bread to serve your customers!! Shameful!

By far the best Italian food on Long Island and even New York City. They have such a friendly staff and we love the generous portions. They know Italian food like it’s in their DNA. The garlic and the oreganata dishes are insane and the the pasta dishes taste like they’re off the boat from Milan. If you want the real thing go to Steve’s and after you’ll discover like us and so many others, nothing else compares.

Excellent food and service. Family style but they do have smaller options. Staff is super attentive food delicious.

Came here for a birthday dinner as it was the person’s request. Service: There are good points and bad points. The good: the wait staff seems to be around quite often to refill glasses, make sure you have drinks, take away plates, and clean up. The bad: Our waiter must have had a bad night or moment. We ordered a Cab, not a Merlot, and a bottle of Merlot came out. Even the waiter called it a Cab. And they even charged us for a Cab after telling the waiter what was served to us. Wasn’t fixed. As the food came out, he kept saying the wrong dish as it was being put in the table. Okay, it happens. But I’m pretty sure stuffed mushrooms is not the Tomato and Mozzarella app. Food was so/so. Okay, the main food was so so. The dessert had to be the best part. I know tomatoes are not in season during the winter, but they had zero flavor and just sat there. The lettuce and other produce in the chopped salad seemed “sad.” The saddest dish might have been the classic meatballs and spaghetti. One of the fellow diners said the pasta was literally “al dente” as it had a slight crunch. Then the meatballs seemed to have very little flavor or taste to them. Coming from an Italian family, that’s kind of a disappointment. What was delicious: the stuffed mushrooms, the chicken parm, and the shrimp scampi. Dessert was the saving grace of the night. The chocolate mousse cake was light and sweet. the cannoli was a large portion, enough for two or three, and was fresh. And the tiramisu was also great. Every restaurant has its good and its bad. This is not the best, but it’s not the worse out there. A middle of the road kind of Italian, family style service restaurant.
