    My husband and I came for Christmas Eve dinner and loved it! Everything was delicious, especially the burrata appetizer and veal piccata entree. The service was exceptional and it was SUCH a good value. We enjoyed an appetizer, two entrees, two desserts, espresso, and a bottle of wine - all for under $120. Our bottle of wine was 30% off because it was a Tuesday - so nice that they honored that weekly special on a holiday. We will definitely be back!

    First time there -will defintitely go back! Every dish was amazing, even the salad (dressed perfectly). The portions are more than enough and the wait staff was just the right amount of attentive. I could live withouth the giant miorror lining the resaturant wall, but otherwise the ambiance was lovely. Defilintely check it out!

    We had a great experience at Bucatino. The Chicken parmesan was a very large portion, and was the one of the best I've ever had! The butternut squash ravioli was delicious! The Bucatini al forno was too cheesy but the flavor was good. The service and ambiance were excellent. We will definitely go back!

    Not as expected. Food was very average — not as advertised. Perhaps the menu was just too large; quantity over quality it seemed. The atmosphere was rather crowded with tables close together and tight fitting booths. The server was fine, but not very interactive or adept at answering questions about the menu. One of the couples with us could not find a parking spot, so they had to park in the church lot and walk a bit. Overall, it was an underwhelming dining experience and would not choose to return.

    Excellent food, excellent service, average prices ($20s). Busy, so reservations recommended. Glad to have a great Italian restaurant in the neighborhood with traditional items on the menu!

    Food came out quickly but bread should be warm. Waiter was slow to bring bill. Food was ok. Table setting was not ideal with one chair stuck on the end
