I've only been to the one in Huntington, but if the food is anything like that one, it's awesome! We're thinking of having our RD there.

How could anyone have a party there...you should be embarassed to throw a party there. I went to the one in Westbury and MIneola and one was worse than the other.....terrible......I would be embarassed to bring my Italian family there! I suggest you look else where

It would be nice if you actually gave a helpful suggestion instead of insulting the other girls that had/might have parties there...

I'm sorry, usually in these cases I sit back, but I have to say that that was extremely rude. The remarks about the calamari were valid, as it was your personal experience with the food, and you can't be faulted for that. But to say something insulting like that to other girls who have had parties there, will have parties there, or enjoy any of their restaurants is out of line. I'm going to chalk it up to the fact that you are new here. But that's not exactly a way to go about making friends.

My family is friends with the owner and several of the maitre d's there...I will more then likely having my bridal shower at the location in Woodbury on Jericho Tpke.
I have had christmas eve dinner there for about 6 years now...and each year we are always satisfied and happy with the way everything turned out. Everyonce in a while, depending on which chef is on that day, the calamri is a little bit tough and some of the sauces are a bit acidic, but the food is still tasty none the less and enjoyable.

If you have any questions about the place let me know!!

(Oh and the bartender on Saturday nights makes GREAT blueberry martini's )

Took the words right out of my mouth!!! I never speak up about anything but this was flat out rude and inconsiderate!!! I understand you are entitled to your opinion but have consideration for other peoples feelings!! Bashing other brides is not a good way to start out here!!! Everyone has their own taste and style that is ok but bride bashing is not ok on this site!!!!! FYI I have been to several parties there and have always enjoyed the food and service and that is my opinion.

I am not being rude and you can't knock me for telling the truth...I am actually being helpful and honest so you do not embarass yourself (take it from a true italian)....I know good Italian food and that is not the place...i recommended on an earlier post to go to Giardino's (Owner of Russo's) and they are inexpensive and that is good Italian food!

So then simply say 'I recemmend Giardino's'. There is a huge difference between helpful advice and being rude. Your comments were rude.

I'm sure there are plenty of people out there that don't enjoy Giardino's!!!!

Majority of my family is straight off the boat and they LOVE the food there. We even take our family that comes to visit us from italy we take them there and they love it too!! Maybe you just went on a bad day...Could have happened, bc the restuarant you suggested I wasnt very fond of, Maybe I just went on a bad day, could be the reason, also personal taste could be the reason too!!
Try to reword the things you say, bc you are coming off as very rude and offensive. Not many people will listen to what someone has to say if it is worded the way it is....

Arent we all entitled to our opinions?
I really dont like PB and been there tons of times.I feel that they put too much sauce and you dont even taste the actual food but the sauce. True Italian food has a much lighter sauce than this.

Seriously if someone bit into a calamari and it was raw what would you honsetly feel about this place?

This opinion is honest and worded in a manor that would not offend other brides. Yes everyone is entitled to their own opinion and all opinions are welcome as long as they are done with tact and consideration for the brides of the past or future that may have had or will have a party there!!

Re: Piccola Bussola

This is an opinion a bit harsh but your opinion in which you are entitled to...That place is nastyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!! I don't recommend that place to anyone ...I don't know how it is still open for business.....The food had no taste or flavor and the cake they brought out was old!

This is rude....How could anyone have a party there...you should be embarassed to throw a party there


This is a website.... to help and not insult other brides!!!!!!

Or how bout if you have nothing nice to say about something keep your opinions to yourself or maybe FM them your opinions. I thought your opinion was rather harsh. If I have a negative opinion about a place I keep it to myself.
