Best Casual Restaurants in East Passyunk Avenue

Excellent restaurant! Always a great meal in the heart of South Philly!

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!

Could not have asked for a better experience. Our waiter took care of us and educated us on the menu, the dishes were beautiful and tasted amazing, beverage pairing was excellent, and the dessert was so good we wanted to lick the plate clean. Highly recommend for date night. We went here for our anniversary and we will definitely look back on this dinner fondly.

Another excellent night of food at Gabriella’s. I can’t wait to return and try more of the menu, thank you for great service and a fun evening with Chef Nini.

The food here is delicious and the portions are large. I have ordered from here many times and will continue to order from here. On the whole, the staff was super friendly. Of note, they do not have Coke products. There was an issue with our order- something forgotten- and one of the staff yelled at another staff member and that was upsetting. The noise level was low except for the same staff that yelled being very loud on the phone.
