    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.

    You would have never guessed that this place, less than a block from where I live, recently opened. Everything was perfect! I love the fact that it's not a large menu. I had the bucatini. Maybe because I was hungry or maybe because I hadn't had pasta in such a long time, my first fork-full I took was too big! Then I realized that I was missing all the wonderful flavors and textures and began to eat smaller bites and I'll tell you for any first timers, this is the dish that you want! I never would have guessed that my two favorite restaurants would be across the street from each other as I am a big fan of Gabrielle's Vietnam as well. I can imagine that it's probably going to be tough to get a reservation but it is definitely worth every penny. If I can make one suggestion. I sat facing the door and a constant distraction was people pulling the door when it clearly says to push. I mean everybody pulled on that door! A quick and easy remedy would be to simply remove the handle on the outside part of the door. If people don't see a handle, they can't pull on it. I hope you don't mind that suggestion. This place is fabulous and I'll be back
