Steve's Piccola Bussola II

Have been going to this restaurant for many years and have always had an excellent meal, service and value until last night. Went with 5 couples and we all left sorely disappointed. After ordering drinks and listening to the daily specials, we placed our orders and from there things went downhill. Our first course (2 salads for 10 people) was not served for an hour and 10 minutes and, when it arrived, it was not nearly enough for 10 people. We each ordered our own entrees and added three different pasta dishes to be shared among us. The entree portions were skimpy. My chicken Sorrentino consisted of 2 small chicken breasts and my wife's chicken Marsala was both sparse and nowhere near as flavorful as it has been in the past. Again, the pasta servings were barely enough for the table an

Very good food and very good service. Needed to put a little salt and pepper on the penne vodka. The chicken parm was very good. The quality of the chicken is great and the marinara is flavorful. It was just a little too much sauce for my liking (definitely do light sauce). The fried mozz was awesome. The prices were very fair as well. We would come back if we didn’t live so far away. 10/10 would recommend.

delicious! the meatballs were the best we’ve ever had. the alfredo was amazing

I was looking forward to dining here because of the 4.4 stars and great reviews. I was wildly disappointed. We sat at the bar for drinks and dinner. We had 5 “servers” in the 90 minutes we were there and not one of them ever checked in about the food or drinks. We had to wave a server over to get our check, after being left at an empty bar for 15 minutes. My fish was overcooked and the wine list was lacking quality wines.

The seafood dinner and salmon dijon were very good. Lots of seafood, mostly muscles and Calamari, some clams and shrimp. The presentation was very nice. The waiter was very attentive. The owner/manager came around to some of the tables to greet the patrons who were apparently regulars. I would expect him to come to all of the tables if he wants us to come back. I was surprised to have a 3.5% credit card surcharge added on the bill. When we were leaving I saw the sign by the entrance of the dining room stating the surcharge. My bad for not seeing the sign. I think the waiter should have mentioned it.
