The food was absolutely delicious. The dining room is nice but we opted to sit outside so can't say much about it. Our first waiter was really wonderful, he was professional, attentive and honestly he should be at a Michelin restaurant. But his shift was over halfway through our meal. The 2nd waiter was fine, but she was not as attentive and I will say the restaurant was busy.. when we asked for the check we waited for at least 30 min until my friend had to go inside to find her. She was busy chatting with another table. Aside from that I recommend the food and hopefully you'll get a server who doesn't get as side tracked! Still giving 5 stars.
My experience at Bucatini in New York was fantastic from start to finish. From the moment we walked in the door, the atmosphere felt warm, inviting, and full of character. The restaurant had that perfect balance of being lively and energetic while still feeling comfortable and welcoming. We were greeted right away, and the service throughout the entire meal was attentive, friendly, and thoughtful, which made the whole experience even better. We started with the calamari, and it was an excellent way to begin the meal. It was cooked perfectly -- crisp on the outside, tender on the inside, and seasoned just right. It had that fresh, flavorful quality that makes you immediately know you are in for a great dining experience. The bowl of clams was just as impressive. The clams were fresh, savory, and packed with flavor, with a broth that was so delicious we wanted to keep enjoying every last bite. It was the kind of dish that feels both simple and elevated at the same time. The squid ink pasta was one of the standout dishes of the night. It was rich, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The pasta itself had the perfect texture, and the sauce complemented it wonderfully without overpowering the dish. Every bite felt bold and satisfying, and it was clear that a lot of care went into both the presentation and the flavor. The parmesan chicken was another highlight. It was hearty, comforting, and full of flavor, with a crispy coating and tender chicken inside. The parmesan added a great savory depth, and the dish had that classic Italian comfort-food quality that makes you want to keep coming back for more. It was prepared in a way that felt familiar but still special. To finish the meal, we had the New York style cheesecake, and it was the perfect ending. It was smooth, creamy, and rich without being too heavy. The crust was excellent, and the cheesecake had that classic New York style flavor that is both indulgent and satisfying. It was a memorable dessert that tied the whole experience together beautifully. Overall, Bucatini delivered an outstanding dining experience. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere made the evening feel special from the moment we arrived. Every dish we tried was well prepared and full of flavor, and it was clear that this is a place that takes pride in both quality and hospitality. I would absolutely recommend Bucatini to anyone looking for a great Italian meal in New York, and I would happily return again.
I came to Bucatini for a work dinner and really enjoyed it! One thing I noticed was that it was a good mix of both corporate diners and personal diners, so it's definitely a place to go whenever! I really liked their appetizers here! I had a chance to share them with my team and some that stood out to me were the tuna tartare, octopus, and salmon cigars. For my entree, I had the veal parm and I really enjoyed it!
Amazing food, wonderful service. The burrata was some of the best I've ever had! Ordered the pappardelle for my main course, it was delicious!
Good is fabulous! I liked their pizza more than the pasta. Muscles were also fantastic! Both times I went around opening so it was not so busy and the service was very good! I definitely will go back again.
There might be a lack of Italian restaurants in this section of Midtown. Bucatini does fill the gap but I think it's more catered for corporate/work lunch or clients lunch than it is for a casual, family and friends sit down. Food was decent. Nothing was bad. Pizza was good but not amazing. But for the prices ($24 ish for the pizza as a baseline guide), you can find better elsewhere if you go 5-10 blocks in any direction. Obviously rent here is high and might justify the pricing. The service was underwhelming. We sat at the back of the restaurant with a nice view of the kitchen (semi-open because it's behind a big pane of glass). But the wait staff going in and out of the kitchen entrance and exit was quite annoying - lots of forcing the door open the wrong way (like a loud car collision), some swearing because of dropped dishes, etc. Sure, stuff happens but I think keeping it behind closed doors would be better here. We also had some of our apps mistakenly delivered to another table. Technically, it gets sent to the kitchen and not necessarily should be delivered back out to us because it touched the other table. But I saw the wait staff take it through the kitchen, walk it through the kitchen (as I saw they the glass open kitchen) and bring it back out as if new. So if you do come here, I wouldn't recommend sitting by the kitchen.
What an amazing experience! While in the area I checked out Yelp to find a spot. You steered me right! The place is very nice, but the prices aren't bad for the area. We also weren't dressed up, but you definitely can. It has a nice looking bar. We sat in a booth that was very comfortable. The service was amazing. Our server, Omar was so thoughtful from beginning to end. He helped give us suggestions. They also worked with us because we had a specific request- they went above and beyond to help. We order the focaccia bread and the bucatini with vodka sauce and chicken. It was delicious!!! The chicken was seasoned well. The pasta and the sauce was so yummy!!! I mentioned to Omar that we had a couple of birthdays with us and made us all feel very special and sang with desserts and candles. It was just such a great experience with delicious food, very nice and chic ambiance, and amazing service. I believe Brandon was the name of the person that was helping Omar. They were both just so thoughtful and warm. They really made an effort to provide great service. Highly recommend!!
Amazing food. Outstanding service. A true gem. From start to finish, the experience was exceptional. Omar and his crew delivered attentive, friendly, and seamless service that made the evening feel special. The atmosphere was intimate and cozy perfect for catching up with old friends......didn't take pictures of everything because we were too busy enjoying the moment, but I did capture a few shots of the appetizers, salad, and dessert. The Caesar salad was crisp with a flavorful dressing, the focaccia delightful, the sole perfectly cooked, the red snapper fantastic, the short ribs melted in my mouth, and the spaghetti bolognese -- hands down the best I've ever had. The drinks were excellent, and the tiramisu was decadent, scrumptious, and beautifully presented. Omar's leadership truly made the night shine. I will go back again and again. AND AGAIN !!!
There's not much to say, but the food was just really good. The black fettuccini is the star. I'm not sure if it's the dish, or the fact that their red sauce is so perfectly balanced. The service could use some work (inattentive staff, a bit too old school/traditional), but I'll give them some excuses because good food is good.
Came here for a quick group lunch on a weekday, and was surprised with how busy the space was! The overall architecture is beautiful, and certainly takes you away from the typical bustle of midtown. In terms of food, I tried the focaccia, arancini, and bucatini with vodka sauce. The arancini was probably my favorite, as the smokiness of the pancetta inside was delicious. The bucatini was alright, but wish there was a little more acidity, or sides to have made the pasta for delicious (like mushrooms or onions). We sat in the back booths, but noise level within the restaurant was too loud as it was very hard to hear each other at our own table. A nice space to take someone to, but would recommend sitting towards the entrance given the higher ceilings (and would anticipate less noise).
Three of us went before a show. We loved the ambiance immediately! Great service and we love being called "Bella" We decided to have a little of everything before the show at once. I think at first they weren't excited about that but it worked out wonderful. The focaccia, calamari, cesear salad, and margherita pizza were all delish!!
Met a friend for dinner here after work since we both work in the area. When we arrived at the 6:30 pm, the place was very busy. When i first walked in, there's a small bar right in front and there was a large party seated at a table in the far left and the hostess table was to the far right. The hostess escorted us back past the bar to a table on the main level dining area. There is also an upstairs which I never got to see. The ceilings felt very low in the dining area and there was minimal natural light since the only windows were those from the front. If we had been seated further back in the dining room, I would not have liked it. There were several large parties. There also these very romantic little booths built in the wall that could accommodate parties of 4. It was very loud inside - besides the low ceilings contributing to poor acoustics, there was also club/EDM music playing loudly. The vibes were strange since the crowd felt very corporate and the decor was leaning towards upscale, so the music selection felt really off. Service was pretty good throughout the meal - they refilled our water often and our food came out quickly. We started with the rice balls - you get 4 to an order; great flavor, small size. For our entrees, I got the pappardelle bolognese, and my friend tried the bucatini with pesto sauce (special sauce for the night). Our pastas were enjoyable and a decent portion. We had to ask if they offered complimentary bread since we wanted some to dip in the sauce. If we hadn't asked, I guess they would have never brought any. I also tried the Sicilian autumn spritz cocktail - tasty drink but $24 is steep. I wasn't a fan of their bathroom setup either. It was a multi-stall all gender-restroom which I didn't realize until I went in.
We stumbled upon this new restaurant on new year eve! Definitely a special occasion restaurant! The food was high end Italian. The service was impeccable. Ambience was absolutely beautiful, but it was freezing inside. That was my only complaints. The food was absolutely amazing. I will definitely come back on the next trip. We ordered the focaccia appetizer and then for the menu we had the fish with an order of the garlic bucatini pasta! Everything was absolutely delicious!

It's exactly what it sounds like, elegant Italian. The food presentation is great. The service is kind and responsive from the front door to the wait staff. The look of the restaurant is very chic and modern. Great for date night with your spouse (or mistress, whatever). Portion size is more health friendly and the flavors are good overall. I can't say there was a wow factor for me but tastes are subjective. You are also obviously paying NYC prices for elevated service and ambiance. read more

I had a great experience at Bucatini. I started with the tuna tartare, which was fresh, well-seasoned, and beautifully presented. For my main course, I ordered a lobster special that wasn't on the printed menu; it was rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked, the kind of dish that makes you feel lucky you asked what the chef was offering that night. I finished with a tiramisu that was easily the best non-traditional tiramisu I've ever had--modern in style but still capturing all the classic flavors. I paired everything with a very good glass of Sancerre, which worked perfectly with both the seafood and dessert. Service was warm and attentive throughout, and the overall atmosphere was spot on for what you look for in an elevated but not overly stuffy night out. read more

Came here for dinner with a small group with a reservation on a weeknight and were seated immediately. Service was super attentive. Overall, the food was pretty good, but maybe a little bit pricey for the quality you're getting. My favorite dish was the burrata starter, and while the pastas were good, the gnocchi was definitely a little bit overcooked. This is the sort of place where you're paying just as much h for the ambience and attention as you are for the food. read more

I came here for brunch and it was amazing. We purchased a pulsd deal and I am in awe of how wonderful this restaurant is. First let's start with the food; we ordered an appetizer burrata with peaches then my main dish was the focaccia breakfast sandwich which was good; the focaccia was delicious and the eggs were cooked perfectly. The bacon was a bit overcooked for me but it was still delicious. Then for a dessert we ordered the lemon ricotta pancakes.These pancakes were delicious light airy and so delicious. The lemon ricotta was so good and I still think about them. The pancakes were not overly sweet which was great. The mimosas were also good and so was the red sangria. The service was amazing; the staff is very friendly and helpful. They were very pleasant and welcoming. Now to the space this space is beautiful and I would definitely recommend it for an event. It reminds me of being in Greece with the high ceiling and color scheme. I will definitely be back. This has been one of my favorite places of the year. read more
Stumbled upon this new restaurant online and was drawn in by its beautiful architecture and interior design. We ordered a few drinks and menu items to share, all of which were amazing! The burrata was delicious, but the entrees were the star of the show. We ordered the chicken, which was presented beautifully over a bed of mashed potatoes and lemon caper sauce. The fresh made bucatini with vodka sauce was cooked perfectly and we would definitely order it again with another one of their sauces. Overall a great dining experience and we have Eduardo to thank! read more

This is a new restaurant with great service and beautiful ambience. I walked in and felt like I had done a time-warp and ended up in a European country. My friend and I went with a Pulsd deal. I ordered the ricotta peach, spaghetti, and pancakes for dessert. I decided to go with the sangria, since it included unlimited drinks for 90 minutes. The spaghetti was loaded with meat and came in a generous portion. The red sangria did not disappoint--I personally preferred it over the white. After we finished our first dish, the table was cleared right away and new dishes arrived perfectly timed for the next course. I'll definitely return for happy hour from 5 to 7. Hopefully the weather will be nice so I can grab patio seating. I read that they would have a DJ for brunch, but there wasn't one when I visited. Nonetheless , the music they played was decent--not too loud--which gave me a chance to catch up with my friend. If you're a foodie like me, you might be surprised that the brunch menu had neither appetizers nor dessert options. Since there were no appetizers offered, I ended up making my own choices (ricotta peach and the pancakes). Ask for Diego--he'll make sure everything goes smoothly and as planned. read more
I'm a HUGE fan of bucatini and have been many times. It's a must have when in Manhattan. The service is impeccable and hostess always gets us a great table (with a view of the kitchen!) which I appreciate. My favorites are the veal parm and black fettuccine with shrimp. Also love the salumi and cheese selections...such succulent grapes, delicious grilled garlic bread and toasted macadamia nuts. Every detail ensures you will thoroughly enjoy your meal. The pasta is perfectly cooked and soooo flavorful. I haven't strayed far from those options because they are just honestly too good. Dessert choices rarely pique my interest, but I rarely have enough room anyway. Highly recommend. It's quiet earlier in the night but nice to see it get lively later on, but I still feel it's underrated in terms of Italian restaurants in the area. read more

Have been to Bucatini a few times since they opened and I've enjoyed it every single time. We've sat by the bar and had also had dinner in a private room. The place is beautiful and the servers are very attentive. Our favorites are: whipped ricotta, beef carpaccio, Margherita pizza, beet and poached pear salad and for a main, we've only tried the salmon. Specialty drinks are very expensive - at 24 bucks a pop, we would rather have a house wine and use our money toward the delicious food. read more
My family and I stopped here for dinner after a show. Right as you step in, the ambiance is on point with a fancy looking spacious dining area with tables in the center and more booth-like nooks off to the sides. Mirrors make the space feel more expansive. The wait staff was highly attentive throughout the meal, checking in before drinks were empty and cleaning off the table between appetizers and entrees. We all loved our choices. I started off with a great mezcal cocktail. We shared the burrata and eggplant rollatini which were the perfect sharing sizes (the rollatini comes with three pieces). We each tried a different pasta dish including a special pesto which was delicious and obviously handmade. All of the pastas were also handmade and had a great bite. The bowls were deceiving as they seemed small but the pasta felt endless and we all had leftovers. I had the fettuccini with shrimp which was great overall flavor-wise although I wish the shrimp had been a little more tender. There is also a menu option to get bucatini with any classic Italian sauce so there is a lot of customization for those who are more or less adventurous. My sister and I finished the meal with affogato with super strong espresso and coffee beans. It was a great meal from beginning to end! read more
