    Very friendly service. The server helped us with some of our decisions, which could not have been better. The filet crostini appetizer was delicious and was perfect to share between two people as was the tuna. The four pasta dishes we ordered were some of the of the best dishes we’ve ever had.The signature bucatini was spectacular with the perfect amount of spice as was the squid ink rigatoni and the saffron infused fettuccine with mussels. The crème brûlée cheesecake added icing to a perfect meal. This will emerge as one of the best BYOB’s in the area. It was clearly one of the best meals we’ve ever had and we’ve had a lot. We will definitely return.

    We had dinner at Bucatini Caffe last night. Food was amazing. Party of 4, we had two pasta dishes: gnocchi was amazing, fusilli was delicious. Both were prepared perfectly! We also had the pork chop and scallops. Split all amongst us. Shared 3 appetizers, kale salad was spectacular, eggplant and mussels. Restaurant was noisy as they had a very large party, the waiters apologized multiple times but the restaurant had been kind enough to prepare us a few days in advance so we were fine w it. Overall it was a lovely evening and we will definitely be coming back!

    Really great - we had a group and shared 3 appetizers 3 pastas and 2 entrees and were so glad we were able to sample so much great food. Such a find! Pretty quiet on a cold weekday night but I’m sure it’s hopping as the weather warms up!

    We were celebrating a birthday. The waiter (maybe Pete, sorry not sure) was excellent. Very accommodating. The food was perfect. 4 got pasta, one fish. I had the fusilli. Highly recommend it. Definitely going back soon. Crowded for a frigid Wednesday night. BYOB!

    I already left my review, but again everything was outstanding, from appetizer to dessert. The tira misu was so delicious and I need to know if mascarpone was used to make it?

    Food was delicious. Portions were perfect not too small and not really big which is not appealing to me. Service was professional and friendly
