Absolutely delicious Italian food. My wife and I found this place while in town for a concert and gave it a try. It was a stifling 116 degrees and as we poured our way through the door looking for relief from the heat. The place is tucked away in a corner of nice little shopping center. The staff is friendly and the place is cleananf kempt (minus a fidgety front door ) with an Italian/sports bar feel. It presents itself as an Italian place without all the stuffiness one might expect from a “high-end” place. The menu was pretty big with what seemed like a lot of authentic Italian dishes. I settled for the homemade beef short rib ravioli and my wife got the tried and true chicken parmesan while starting with some garlic flatbread. I’ll be honest, I was concerned because sometimes when local restaurants claim everything is homemade, it can be difficult to live up to that promise, especially when the place isn’t super busy, which this place wasnt, on a Friday night at 5 pm. The flatbread came out and within just a few minutes it was gone. Remarkably flaky dough, thin and crispy but soft with just the right touch of garlic and butter. It was absolutely delicious and it makes me regret not getting a pizza if that’s similar to how the crust is. My ravioli was fresh, had amazing flavor and perfectly cooked vegetables. My wife’s chicken parmesan was exactly the same. The food was so good! Great flavors with an obvious nod to being homemade and authentic as they didn’t taste as one-dimensional like typical american-italian places we are used to. We aren’t in this area often, but will for sure go back just to deep dive into that menu. If your in the area, you need to give this place a go, the food is fantastic!

First time here and we loved the atmosphere, friendliness of the staff and most definitely the FOOD. Everything was great but the bread it was just too cheap tasting to compliment the delicious food they cook here. Sam’s club sales good hoagie bread that would go perfect with the meals.

In all fairness, I like to give a restaurant a few tries before writing a negative review. I went to Bucatini for the third time last night, and it will be my last.

We stopped here to eat prior to a concert at the Acrisure. They clearly were not prepared for the influx. We got there in plenty of time. We ordered right away but people who arrived 20-30 minutes after we did were getting their food. There appeared to be plenty of staff but they were running around very hastily. I requested water but waited for it a long time. Bread was being served to people all around us. We felt like maybe we were invisible.

We had been meaning to try this place for years. Moved out of state now back visiting and gave it a whirl. So sad we waited so long to try. Beautifully prepared and tasty food.

Our family loves eating at Bucatini. The food is always fresh and wonderfully prepared and flavored. Gabby is a great server and the staff are all very accommodating and helpful if you want more of the delicious bread with olive oil

Had Lasagna i will not ever get again at this place. It was terrible. The appetizer was actually the only thing that was palatable, especially the sauce they serve with it. Service was great staff was very attentive. Maybe will try something else on menu then again may never go back.
