    Music was loud enough I had trouble hearing the servers. They were out of a few menu items and said they were out of bread claiming that their last reservation was 9:00 even though this app said 9:30. So $27 for a plate of pasta with crabmeat. I’m not going back. Sit next to stairs and you’ll hear the doors slamming the whole time

    The service was amazing. All the severs were very attentive. The octopus was nice a charred but it was a bit on the salty side. The beef carpaccio was a bit too sour problem too much lemon juice. The squid ink rigatoni was very flavorful and we also really enjoyed the bread it was nice and chewy and the sun dried tomatoes dip was the bread was also really good.

    Incredible Dining Experience! I had the pleasure of dining at Bucatini recently, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm, modern, and inviting. The staff greeted us with genuine smiles and made us feel right at home. The menu offers a fantastic variety of dishes, each with a unique twist that shows off the creativity of Chefs, Chris Miller and Dejvi Furxhi. It was nothing short of spectacular—perfectly cooked, with bold flavors, and just the right amount of seasoning. Every bite was a delight! The service was exceptional, with the staff checking in regularly to ensure we had everything we needed. The attention to detail, from the plating to the ambiance was spot-on. To top it off, the dessert was  perfect. I’m already looking forward to coming back!

    Fantastic new addition to the neighborhood. The food was delicious and the staff couldn’t have been more attentive. One of the best tiramisu desserts I’ve had in a really long time. Everyone loved their pasta dishes and the fish was cooked to perfection. Will definitely be returning!
