Excellent. Will return. Dishes have a choice of family style (large) or a smaller dish. Both have different prices and plenty of food. If you go, I suggest mixing up your many choices of meals, perfect for sharing. Overall great experience.

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.

Thank you for the feedback, and I'm sorry you were disappointed with your experience here at Piccola Bussola on Valentine's Day. While you are certainly entitled to express your disappointment with your review, your reasoning doesn't quite align with the facts. Your reservation was at 8:45, not 8:30. You arrived at 8:39 and seated at 8:47. We accommodated your request to order from the regular dinner menu, even though we were only prepared to serve the special Valentine's Day menu. Your order was placed at 9:05, and your credit card payment was recorded at 8:45. So, you received your appetizers, and your entrees packed to go, within an hour of you being seated. I'd be happy to discuss these and any other issues you may have experienced. Thank you, John Lubrano 631-692-6300

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.
