    One of, if not the best affordable BYOB dining experiences in the area. The pasta is fresh, delicious, and portioned perfectly. The appetizers, particularly the filet crostini and the mussels, were tremendous. The service was excellent - friendly, efficient, and attentive without being overbearing. The dining room was full and a little noisy, but we did not mind because with success comes popularity. Tough to find a parking spot, but that was the only downside. We could eat there every night.

    Great service and food were excellent, the Eggplant Antipasto appetizer was awesome and the Saffron Fettuccini was delicious. A bit noisy (lively is good, right?) at the height of the dining hour but we all enjoyed the meal, recommend giving Bucatini Caffe a try!

    It’s always a treat to be at Bucatini. The crew is so friendly and takes such good care of us. And the food is awesome. We had the filet crostini and tuna crudo to start. Both exceptional. The tuna has small pieces of chilies but the fruit slices douse the heat immediately. Nice surprise. For pasta we had tomato cacio e pepe and bucatini with Calabrian chili sauce. Finished it off with 2 gelatos, mixed berry and chocolate. Can’t wait to come back.

    The service was fantastic and the food was even better. My girlfriend and I went for a date night but there were larger groups (10 person group) dining as well. We will definitely be taking out of town guests here!

    Next level attention to detail regarding service. Good mix of seafood, meat and vegetarian options on the menu. We had the meat and fish specials, but can confirm the tiramisu and limoncello sponge desserts were heavenly.

    this was hands down the best gnocchi i have ever had in my entire life. soft, delicious, delicate, not chewy, and the sauce was heavenly. the mussels were super fresh, the spring mix salad will forever be my favorite, and the eggplant was so thin and perfectly crunchy. amazing 10/10 meal as always!!
