Food was outstanding. The eggplant and Burata appetizer was amazing. The pasta bucatini was so tasty and the salmon special was delicious. I highly recommend everyone to try this restaurant. I will be definitely returning.

Wow! What an amazing Italian BYOB! The mussels fra diavolo set the tone for the remainder of the meal - excellent in every way. We had a variety of pasta including the Paccheri, squid ink gnocchi, and mint rigatoni and all of them were show stoppers. Our server was great as well. He was exceptionally accommodating and made sure that he went above and beyond to provide an excellent meal for us. 100% will be back to try the desserts!

I love Bucatini! The food never disappoints. I've been there a few times now, and do not have any complaints. The food is delicious. The atmosphere is great for a party or a couple.

Our first time it was excellent a gem. Our server Sam and staff were very attentive. Crab with zucchini over pasta made spicy was delicious as was as the trio bruschetta, artichoke, roasted peppers and tomato were excellent. NY strip with Demi glaze special spectacular. Who knew pound cake with olive oil could be so good. So we are going back next Saturday! Oh and it’s a BYOB too!

Very impressive creative menu. Everything sounded good. Once we made a selection, we were not disappointed. Puttanesca was excellent as was scallops with Romanesca sauce & pasta. Attentive, polite service. Our new favorite restaurant, the other one being its sister restaurant Burrata.
