    This was my second visit to Bucatini. I thought it was so good that I would two of my closest friends. They liked that it was a spacious restaurant where diners weren't on top of you. The menu listed just enough so we weren't overwhelmed with two specials added on. Sammy was my server again and he did not disappoint. The eggplant appetizer was amazing we weren't going to share it because my friends didn't like eggplant so they shared mussels. My one friend asked if he could taste and that was the end of my appetizer. The entrees were wonderful and the desserts which were a few top off the entire meal. This is one of the few BYOB restaurants that I have been to where the prices were affordable and worth it. My friends told me they would be back to Bucatini with their wives in the near future. So will I.

    Well crafted dishes, with varied and flavorful sauces and the wonderful textures of fresh pasta. Comfortable dining room and attentive service is perfect for those who want a delicious meal in a not-stuffy atmosphere, that doesn’t break the bank. Bring your crisp, full bodied white wines to pair with the great seafood dishes, and your robust reds to pair with the lamb or amatriciana dishes.

    This was our 2nd time to Bucatini and both times were fantastic. We have also sent many friends who were also very pleased! The service is exceptional. Sam was our waiter and he was great from the minute we arrived. If you’re in South Philly don’t miss this place!
