If you are looking for avg Italian this is the place for you. my wifes food was cold, my eggplant was mushy and cold, and my kids pizza was strange. The toppings were put on after they cooked it. My whisky sour was basically whisky with orange juice. Will never go back.

Very bad service. I called at 8:20 when their close time said it was at 9:00 I wanted to place a to go order for one pizza only and the lady that answer said that they were closed and couldn’t help me. I don’t find that right. This happened on April 4th. I won’t be calling this restauran any more unless I call at opening time maybe they can assist me then. I was recommended for their pizza but I couldn’t taste because I called 35 minutes before closing. Bummer

I love pasta . I LOVE pasta. I ordered pasta Carbonara. I have never eaten pasta Carbonara so nasty. It's as if they purposely made it the yucciest pasta I ever had in my life. It tasted spoiled. My husband said the same of his lasagna. My oldest daughters fettuccini Alfredo with shrimp was watery. Only my 10 year old liked her food. She had a kids cheese pizza. My tea was nasty too. The only decent thing was the bread and olive oil with balsamic vinegar. We started off with fried mozzarella as an appetizer and it was nothing to rave about. I've had traditional Italian food and cookie cutter Italian food from Olive Garden...and this food is by far the worst I have ever eaten. I gave 2 stars only because the waitress was great and the inside decor and moving windows were kool.

You've gotta love a location that is amazing and delicious and fresh even via delivery. I don't know how Bucatini does it, but they always smash it out of the park with their dishes. We were regular patrons via delivery, but recently stopped in to sit down and have the in-house experience. The staff was friendly, inside was super clean, and we were seated within about 5 minutes. Highly recommend the eggplant appetizer, any of their stuffed pasta dishes, and definitely the gnocchi! The only weak link that we had was one of their tortellini specials that they had -- not our fave -- but everything else was insanely delicious. We will definitely be back for more and will continue to order via delivery!

We really enjoyed dinner here. Ordered the Cannelloni do Ricotta but substituted meat sauce, and it was the best meat sauce I’ve had in a long time. Also got Bruchetta Flatbread and Fettuchini Alfredo with GF noodles. We really enjoyed the food and felt that the service was excellent. Portions were generous. Food seemed naturally made fresh.

My wife had I had dinner here before the PBR Redeo. I myself had the Lasagna, and my wife had Ravioli. My lasagna was at best, okay? Wife Ravioli was much better. The first time here may try again. Overall services were excellent and priced accordingly.Parking: Good parking. In a mall style settings.

ordered a pasta and Flatbread. $65 for both. The pasta was so awful. It had a taste and texture of freezer burn. The Flatbread was super greasy, rubbery and salty. Do not buy from here. That was a weeks worth of groceries for total garbage.

We forgot to pull anything to eat for dinner so we stopped at Bucatini to have dinner. We have been there before but it’s been a few years. We sat in a booth right next to the open windows which had great breeze coming inside. We started off with the calamari fritti which was delicious then my wife had pappardelle bolognese and I had veal Marsala. Both orders were quite large but very tasty. The sauce on the veal was one of the best I have had. Great date night restaurant.

Wow! I honestly cannot believe how incredible and authentic this food was! I have passed this restaurant on Cook twice a week and always thought about taking my family in there after our ice-skating lessons. This past Tuesday we finally made it happen! I first met the owner Enzo, who was super polite and extremely friendly. He told me that this was the most authentic Italian food in the desert. I was hesitant at first, I am half Italian from my mother's side, but we decided to stay and give it a go. And just, wow! Everything was incredible. Very authentic and absolutely delicious. My husband LOVED his chicken parmigiana and I devoured my cacio pepe. I also had the Italian chopped salad and it was lovely! We will most definitely be back again!!

Food is fantastic. Service excellent but a bit slow. Atmosphere is a bit noisy. The food makes it all worthwhile.
