    Another great meal at this South Philly gem. The food is always outstanding and the service is top notch. The whole staff is welcoming, and the owners always come out to say hello. The homemade pasta is fresh and perfectly al dente with innovative sauces. Get yourself to Bucatini Caffe!

    The food was excellent and a great atmosphere! However, service was really slow and portions were small relative to the price.

    I've been waiting for Bucatina Cafe to open for about a year now, likely longer. It did not disappoint! My boyfriend and I went to celebrate our anniversary and it was so good. Food was delicious, staff was amazing (Sam our server was great!). There were two large tables in the restaurant of 7 or 8 people and they did not make it too loud or anything which I love. Such a cute spot and we said we're coming back for more.
