    From closest to furthest: Salmone Pietro, garlic bread, Manzo Nicole
    Amanda Marie M.

    I went for the first time with my brother on a Thursday evening recently. It was busy and there was a brief wait before we got seated. The ambiance of the restaurant is great - it was packed, but quiet enough to have an easy conversation and loud enough to have some energy and a sense of privacy. We got a Caesar salad, garlic bread, the Manzo Nicole, the Salmone Pietro, and Reisling. Everything was delicious! Huge portions, even for my brother (who has a bigger appetite than I do!), and they made for great leftovers the next day. Our server was so friendly and thoughtful. They said it was only their fourth day, but we couldn't have guessed with how well taken care of we were (thanks, Case)! We'll absolutely be back with friends and family to try more of the menu. I'd recommend to anyone who enjoys a cozy, but lively atmosphere and Italian food. Definitely come hungry and with others that will let you snag a taste of their food!

    Wow, this place was PACKED on a Friday night, and for good reason. Quick heads up: the parking lot is tight and terrible, so plan accordingly. We came to Bucatini, and we got a stroke of luck as we pretty much sat at the last open table. The indoor decor was rustic and charming, with the music of Andrea Bocelli serenading the guests. We ordered: 1. Side of garlic bread 2. Clam based pasta 3. Mushroom ragu with pappardelle pasta The garlic bread is a fantastic starter! The bread is super garlicky (the more garlic, the better), and it paired well with the balsamic vinegar and olive oil that's provided. I wish the bread was a bit crispier, as it lacked a nice crunch. But overall, this is a solid appetizer to kickoff the meal. (Also a perfect bread soaker for your pasta sauce if you fancy your pasta dish!) The pasta dishes were pretty good - not great, but definitely scratched my pasta itch. And the portions are huge! I left feeling very full and satisfied. Yet, I felt that I had to add a generous amount of salt to my pasta, as it tasted a bit unseasoned. But as I continued eating each strand of pappardelle and slowly made my way to the bottom of the plate, the flavor seemed enhanced and tasty to my liking. My wife's clam pasta also seemed light in flavor, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, Bucatini brings some great character in the heart of Edmonds, despite the rough parking lot. I would recommend checking this place out if you're hunting for an Italian restaurant in north Seattle, but keep your expectations level-headed.

    Beet pasta
    Kyle T.

    TLDR: Great neighborhood Italian spots. Great service, food, and vibes. Food is on the heavier side and comes in large portions so be prepared to take home so to-go boxes. Would absolutely recommend this place. Food: We had the red snapper and the beet pasta (sorry I forgot the names on the menu). Both were outstanding, lots of citrus on the snapper to cut the richness and loved the creaminess of the beet pasta. Both dishes were served with the pasta of the day (that day was corkscrew pasta). Portions are HUGE, neither of us were able to finish so we had to-go for the next day. Service: The staff here is extremely friendly. We had to wait about ~10 minutes outside (8pm on a Friday) before we got seated and the staff was kind enough to turn on the outdoor heat lamp to keep us comfortable. Price: Dishes were about ~20-30 each, but with the quality of food and the large portions I would say more than worth it

    Gnocchi with Gorgonzola & Peas

    Second time visit for me. I live in Arizona and have been dreaming about this restaurant since the last time we ate here. I would probably drive from Arizona just to get some of their gnocchi. The restaurant feels like my family dinner table and sounds like a family party. Very much at home here the service is always lovely. Anna Maria, who served us tonight, was a fun person to talk to. She said that she is new to this restaurant but still had great suggestions for what we should try!!! This time our favorite was the manicotti Bandiera with three different sauces. We tried the scampi and calamari, and it was scrumptious. The only thing wrong with it was that there wasn't more! We eat it so quickly and we're so happy with every bite. The garlic bread appetizer did not disappoint fresh pieces of garlic and delicious Parmesan scattered across crispy bread was a perfect dipping vessel for our scampi and calamari sauce. you also tried Bucatini amatriciano and gnocchi with Gorgonzola sauce and peas! Nothing could have been better. The chef outdid themselves again!! Finished off with the most delicate tiramisu. We will be back! We loved it!

    Comfortable yet upscale interior

    Bucatini is my favorite Italian restaurant in all of Washington! It doesn't look like much from the outside, but step inside and you'll feel right at home in the warm wooden interior. The strip mall parking was easy as can be and the service was great. But it was the food that blew us away. My friend got the Antipasto and it was phenomenal - fresh, light and so flavorful. I feel like it's hard to find this kind of dish done to this level of quality outside of Europe. The variety of ingredients was incredible. There were at least 2 types of olives, 2 types of cured meats, 2 types of cheese, yellow zucchini, parsnips, cucumbers, peppers, asparagus, and green beans, topped with garlic, fresh basil, olive oil and balsamic vinegar. It definitely whet our appetite and set the stage for the entrées. La salsiccia was finger licking good. Generous sausage and tomato was smothered in melted cheese and herbs, all on top of delicious crusty bread. The pappardelle alfredo was surprisingly light and clean which let the subtle flavors shine through. Best of all, the portions were huge and the prices were fair. I would want for nothing if I could eat here regularly.

    Beautiful!

    We celebrated 4 years with my bf and it was our anniversary! We found this place and it was an automatic WIN! We loved the ambience and the food was amazing. Very true Italian. We had the garlic bread which was delicious! I had the Salsiccia Nicole which was Italian sausage (sliced) with beets and a creamy Gorgonzola sauce! It was a little oily but still so amazing! My bf has the spaghetti and meatball which was tasty! We had wines and our server was on it! Definitely coming back!

    Gnocchi with Garhonzola and Peas
    Kumar V.

    Impeccable restaurant. I loved the food here. Exquisite Italian food - very delicious. The tiramisu was out of the world. One of the best tiramisu I ever had. And for the right reasons as our server also pointed that tiramisu along with their gelato is imported everyday from Italy and they are fresh and prepared under 24 hours. The garlic bread and the cheese dressing were really subtle and delicious. We tried the gnocchi pasta with Gorgonzola and Peas. I haven't tried such a dense and rich tasting pasta sauce. Very good. Only disappointment was Cocktail. We got Raspberry Margarita which was very average and too salty. Probably avoid cocktails here. The ambience is upscale and great for dates.

    Insalata Caprese - sorry, half eaten here but delicious
    Paul M.

    Great Italian food in Edmonds, WA has been found! Came here in a group of four. Nice interior (but really dark inside so my photos didn't turn out great). Menu had a large selection of options. I got the parppardella bolognese and others in the group had the parppardella Alfredo, lasagna, and pasta primavera. Pasta primavera with shrimp was our least favorite dish. My wife ordered it and thought it lacked flavor. Our favorite was probably the salad we shared as an appetizer- the insalata caprese. Meal portion sizes are HUGE!!! We should have shared two dishes. None of us even made it halfway through the meals. Not sure how the restaurant makes money with such huge portion sizes? Server was very friendly and attentive. We would definitely come back if in the area.

    Cesar salad, antipasto and garlic bread
    Sum H.

    My friends and I had such a blast at this restaurant tonight. All first timers and very satisfied with generous amount of food, price and service! Can't go wrong with Buccatini I must say everything we had from the salad to antipasto to pasta to entree were extremely flavorful with lots of protein and vegetables. Even the non alcoholic drink like raspberry lemonade and tiramisu were so good The sauce on the pork dish was delicious the leftover sauce went home with me. Planning to add more pasta for lunch tomorrow. Seafood pasta had lots of shrimps, scallops, mussels and clams with Buccatini buried underneath you can't even see. Antipasto had big chunks of smoked mozzarella, ham, olives and vegetables with kale on top. Cesar salad with pile of romain lettuce covered with delicious Cesar dressing. The pork dish with creamy mushroom sauce and side of grilled vegetables. This Italian restaurant is a gem, you must visit with empty stomach.

    Clams or Mussels Napolitana. Gluten free option!

    Finally found an Italian place worth going to! The portions were great value (huge servings). the service was excellent. Troy knew each and every strength about each dish and was very attentive even during busy hours. The vibes were casual. My wife and I felt comfortable with hoodies and beanies on. They have gluten free pasta replacements which is what my wife ordered. Still great! Totally coming back for our birthdays.

    Excellent setting!
    Brian G.

    Extremely comfortable setting and a nice range of decent food and friendly service. A great place to get together with friends.

    Marsala pasta
    Meralina M.

    My friends and I recently went for dinner and we were all very please with our pastas and the chewy bread as well as the lime cello cake and tiramisu! It was all very yummy! My only complaints are that the host was a little rude, the bread isn't warmed, and by not fault of bucatinis, the parking kind of sucks, but there is a large parking lot. I LOVED the Marsala pasta, it was so well balanced. My husband also thought the bolognese was super filled with meat! Will definitely come back for a date night!

    what's left of the garlic bread after we tore into it.

    We were all surprised by the quality of the food at this place. It had popped up on our foodie radar some time ago and we finally got out there to try it. I had, admittedly, been reluctant...mostly because of the location...which is, essentially, a strip mall on a busy street corner next to Ivar's and across the street from a walgreens. But we did go. Walking inside, I was very surprised at the nice feel to the place. Busy, nice bar...very busy. July 3rd, so a lot of people out presumably because they have tomorrow off? We had to sit outside (could've waited for an inside table but nah). The car noise was pretty annoying...why do people soup up their cars to make huge pops when they rev it? Am I aging myself? I don't think so, that's just annoying. But this is a side-effect of sitting outside at this place. The exterior atmosphere does not do the food justice. I had the SALSICCIA GIOVANNI. It was f-ing exceptional. My eyebrows raised at the first bite. This is significant. They didn't stay there or anything...but...I was surprised at how good it was. I also had a glass of the San Vicente Chianti...excellent pairing. My son got the Primavera...the dish was beautiful but he said "For how much they've got going on here, I have to say it's pretty bland." I mean...primavera. It looked good...our third friend had the gnocchi with gorgonzola and peas. So good. Very rich. She also got the cranberry aperol spritz. She liked the pasta but the drink was not that great...'too cranberry-y' she says. The portions were massive. I was three bites in saying that I had at least 4 meals in front of me. Brought it all home, happily. The garlic bread was also pretty incredible. All in all- fantastic food. I don't think there were any misses. I'll forgive the primavera but just because that's not my favorite dish anyway. I'm looking forward to trying their shrimp and other items. Desserts. For three of us we were all-in at $125 with tip. We'll be back. I'll sit inside next time.

In long It's even cooler when the weather's nice enough to sit outside, because they have a deck facing the water. On a cold or wet day, though, there are a couple dozen tables inside, and one of them has a firepit in it. You walk up a ramp from a busy street, and inside you see old dock pilings and ship rope cordoning off the upper bar from the main dining area. Kids are welcome, at least part of the day. We rolled in for a late lunch, and found a HH menu on the table. Perfect timing! 25% off drinks and apps. Our server was friendly, knew the menu cold, and had everything written down right away. They clearly know what they're doing here. We had waters before we knew it, and cocktails not long after. I got the southwest burger, which is messy af, but worth it. Good flavor all the way through, cooked perfectly medium. She had the seafood basket with tots, which was all also exactly at temp. The chunk of whitefish was steaming hot, really juicy. Scallops were legit. Big props to them for their tartar sauce--awesome dill pickle flavor. It gets loud in here, and rumor has it the owner is often in the corner, keeping an eye on everything. I could see it being pretty insane for a big game. They have lots of Kraken signage up, and you know it's a Hawks bar too. It kinda seems like everybody in Edmonds who's fun to be around has probably hung out in here, maybe multiple times. It definitely felt like the whole neighborhood was welcome and well taken care of. We had 2 entrees and 4 cocktails for $80. These days that's getting to be a fantastic value, especially at a place where they do everything right. I'd happily come back.

    Went solo on a Thursday evening. Good service, prompt attention. Mostly chairs, some half booths…read morewith adjustable tables, a few full booths which are presumably easily avoided. Got the Pomegranate Drop cocktail. It was pretty good. Ordered the three-course meal; not a lot of food but certainly reasonable for the price. Four shrimp in the cocktail, very tasty, four shrimp in the duet entree, also very tasty. Salmon could have benefited from slightly more seasoning. Pilaf with almond and golden raisins surprisingly tasty. Broccolini perfectly competent. Bailey's chocolate mousse pretty good. The restaurant itself is very nice. The view is absolutely incredible. Given the low price of the three-course options, this feels like an ideal date spot for people who want reasonably fancy.

    What happened here?! When I last visited, I gave it a 5/5 review. I had the worst dining experience…read morethis year if not the past couple of years. I got sat down and went to the bathroom to wash my hands. There was another patron who looked disgruntled as a staff member was stocking each stall with rolls of toilet paper in hand. Weird right? Then we ordered... The crispy calamari ($24) was basically steamed with zero crunch, batter falling off of the soft rings of squid. The squid was a gross, soft texture. If you told me it was pork bung I would have believed you given the ratio of rings to legs. Some of the pieces had a weird fishy taste. I then had the swordfish mushroom ragout ($46). The vegetables were cooked so that they weren't too mushy or firm, and risotto was pretty good, with chunks of artichoke hearts mixed in. Too bad that the swordfish had a fishy taste that contaminated everything! I had heard that the chef specials were ingredients that needed to be sold fast and had never believed it...until now. I ended up barely eating it and throwing the rest of it away. RIP swordfish sorry for wasting you. Finally, I got the white chocolate cranberry cheesecake ($15). The cheesecake had the perfect balance of sweetness and tang, with a smooth and lighter texture. Too bad that the menu did not mention it had a gingerbread crust which totally overpowered the other components of the dish. The gingerbread was not mentioned in the description in the menu. I would have steered away. The only saving grace was that the cranberry lemonade was delicious - Anthony's makes a good lemonade. When I went to freshen up in the restroom, I found out that the stalls were not loaded up with toilet paper properly - the rolls were just sloppily perched on the toilet paper holders. I think this just underscored how badly my experience went. Complete WTF.
