Having tried Vincent’s Clam Bar a handful of times, I wanted to give Steve’s Piccola a try. So I ordered a Caesar Salad, Chicken Parm for one, and an order of Linguini w/Marinara.
The Chicken Parm was very good – the meat, the sauce and the cheese. The Linguini was also very good although not cooked al dente. The Caesar Salad could have used a little more dressing but was also pretty good.
The service was very attentive with water being refilled almost continuously and there was a nice fresh bread basket served as soon as we sat down.
I would say that overall the meal was enjoyable and on par with Vincent’s in terms of quality. However, the prices are higher … and the portion sizes are smaller … putting it a little lower on the value scale. The other thing is there is valet parking with a relatively small lot.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it. But be prepared to spend a few more bucks.

I came here for something local while I’m on a work trip. I searched google for “best Italian near me” and this was on the list. The food was so so so good. We don’t have good Itlaian food in the Deep South like this so it was 10/ 10 for me. Fried calamari, Caesar salad, fresh bread, wine, veal parmigiana. All so good. I ate until I couldn’t move. Fransisco took great care of me.

Their grilled octopus can not be compared … it is absolutely outstanding. Today I ordered the veal rollatini and that too was out of this world. I eat here often but never have enough room in my belly for dessert, today though, I ordered a cannoli. And let me just say … it was absolutely life changing. Truthfully – the best cannoli I have ever eaten in my life!!!

Food is pretty decent, a little bit on the greasier side, but as expected from an Italian family-style joint. Portions are very large, even when ordering a “single” version of it. I would opt for more Italian dishes, anything pasta-related, instead of going for meats and fish.
But what really brings down the rating are the obnoxious waiters. Every dish they would recommend as “the best” is somehow the most expensive on the menu. When we got the bill, there were items on it that we did not order and did not receive. When I pointed that out to the waiter, the response was “Oh, I wonder how it got in there”. Well, buddy, you put it in there.

Ordered the larger size pasta with seafood and individual size veal pizzaola. The seafood entree featured shrimp, calamari, clams and was enough for two people. The veal dish featured only two veal pieces and was not a great value for money. Overall, the food quality was very good and both entrees were enjoyable.

Steve’s Piccola Bussola delivers solid, classic Italian that’s done well. The menu is traditional Italian and straightforward and everything we ordered was delicious and fresh. What really stood out was the service – attentive, warm, and genuinely welcoming without being overbearing.

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.

I have been there so many times..unfortunately last Saturday night I was there and it was awful..it started with the waiter telling me I could only order from the menu..usually I can order paparedelle Primavera..they said no…thats when I knew it would all go downhill..then we had the calamari..completely rubbery..then the chicken francese which literally tasted like the wine was poured on it rather than cooked..it took the one person in recovery we were with to be like I cant eat this..very upsetting since it was my birthday…my husband told the manager? Not sure who he was after the dinner and we just got sn apology..sooo disappointed and upset

The food here was dynamite, full of flavor, portioned well, and I’ll be craving the dishes for sure. Best Penne a la Vodka I’ve ever had, the cheese on top was a great bonus! To top it off my husband and I shared tiramisu for dessert and we both agree it beat any we ever had. The service here was also great and we we would definitely come back!
