Two Meatballs with Angel Hair $20, a bit pricey
Nikky B.

Solid classic spaghetti meatballs you can always count on though a bit pricey $20. You can do half order (1 meat ball) or full order (2 meat ball). The meatballs were tender and moist and got the same temperature as the spaghetti would it much easier said than done. I have been disappointed many times before at 4-5 stars Italian restaurant, yet their meatballs were colder than spaghetti and that just so annoying. I came in this location many time during working lunch over this past year. Throughout these visits, they only had one server in each section so if you have less than 45 minutes or so during 12-1pm, I would say proceed with caution. Most people I saw dinning in looked retired and was not in the hurry at all. Daily soups are almost always spot on. The tomato bisque $5, was a tad on the runny side but good taste wise. They gave you ample of focaccia bread. I wish they put balsamic vinegar in the garlic olive oil dip. The steak pasta cooked just right a few times I ordered. I didn't not care much for the cheese or seasonal squash ravioli. I think there were too much cheese which was overpowered other ingredients came with it. Angel hair with white sauce were also good. The tiramisu and cannoli are okay, very standard for flavor. I liked the strawberry mule with the paprika kick to it. Casual setting and consistent quality of food. Definitely recommend it for your standard Italian fix.

My wife and I have been coming to Bugatti's periodically for several years now and honestly we've always had a great meal. We do try to come for happy hour as they have a great happy hour menu, a little cheaper wine, and we enjoy sitting in the bar. Whether you're getting their Fresh Bread and Oil which is made with their house made focaccia, their happy hour pizza, Bolognese w/ an extra meatball, or some pasta off their regular menu. You won't be disappointed. We recently tried the the Gamberetti for the first time, which is made with an angel hair pasta, white wine sauce, prawns, pine nuts, scallions, and chili flakes is absolutely amazing! I'll have to explore more of their pastas. The service here has always been great, particularly from the bar and a nice relaxing calming atmosphere makes this a great place. Not sure why this place is only rated a 3 and a half stars as we've always had great food and service. Give Bugatti's a try.

We went here Friday night at 6:30pm. We were seated right away. Ordered a strawberry basil lemonade. I enjoyed the Bleu's Burger. Medium Rare and it was perfect!!! Delicious. Bugatti has a good comfortable atmosphere. The server came by multiple times to check on our food. It was so nice to visit Bugatti again. The last time I was here was 5-6 years ago.

I've not heard of this chain before. Private parking lot and outdoor seating. our server was a little abrasive, but attentive, so not a huge issue. I liked the half chicken parmesean sandwich, I did not like the drinks I got, alcoholic and non-alcoholic. they both tasted very heavy with flavored syrup and were not balanced. Might revisit, but does not fit my "must try" category

For years, Bugatti's has been one of our favorite go-to places. The food and the service has been good in the past. Something has recently changed. The last 2 times we went, the pasta has been overcooked and mushy, not al dente. Last night I ordered soup & salad. The soup was good, but I had to pick out quite a bit of yellowed or slimy spinach from my salad. My husband ordered the Garambini, which is usually a good choice. When it came, the pasta was overcooked & completely dry, missing the sauce. This was Sunday evening, and the restaurant was about 1/3 of capacity, with most people leaving, not terribly busy for Bugatti's. Our waitress seated us at a dirty table and we had to ask for it to be wiped. She neglected to give us table service, and we had to ask a busboy for that when our food was delivered (by someone else). She did not check on us & we had to ask someone else to find her to report the problem with the dish. When she arrived, she bent over and stuck her nose over his food and declared she could smell white wine and pointed to a solitary red pepper flake! Eventually she agreed to bring some sauce. We did not see her again for some time & when she arrived with a cup of sauce, he told her the pasta had gone cold. She replied "the sauce is warm". She then offered to stick it in the microwave for him (which would have turned the shrimp to rubber balls). After both recent visits to this establishment have been disappointing, we may not return for a while. Attached is the photo of all the yellowed or slimy spinach leaves that I removed from my salad. I should have photographed the garambini.

I didn't expect to be blown away, but I was! REALLY beautiful meal, which surprised me because I thought this establishment was a chain and chain restaurants typically don't impress me much. The lasagna her is FANTASTIC! I added a shrimp skewer to my meal, which was perfectly grilled & buttery. My husband got the seafood cioppino and was also very pleased. The broth was rich and delicious, packed full of fresh goodies from the sea. He left not a drop. I love their warm crusty table bread with oil served when you are seated. So good. Service was kind and attentive without being intrusive. We'll 110% be back next time we're in OC. Bravo!

Overall rating would be 3.75 We went for dinner as a group…read moreof 5- 3 adults and 2 kids. Parking at Bridgeport on a Friday night is a little hit or miss. We were greeted with a very warm welcome and were seated right away (without a reservation). Our waitress was fantastic- friendly, gave great suggestions, answered questions and she was on top of every thing. The restaurant was clean, had lots of staff and got busier closer to 6:00. The noise of the restaurant was great- we could easily carry on conversations, but it was kid friendly. My kids had a hard time deciding on what to order because they liked several of the options. Their main menu is also very big with lots of options. I do appreciate that they offer a smaller version of salads you can order with your meal. All our pasta meals came with bread as well. Overall we had a great time. I liked my food, but it wasn't something I would probably order again. Their food was pretty good, but not fantastic.

The server we had was overwhelmed with a very small table. Just a terrible experience and I've seen this place do better. It feels like a management issue more than anything. Uber Eats and GrubHub orders take precedent over anyone in the restaurant. It has slowed down their customer service to a crawl. The wait for a table was bad. Once seated, apparent why... they've turned it into a fast food restaurant for mobile orders. Nobody can get food. The kitchen drowned under that stress. The server didn't perform well. Managers asked, "how's the food?" after it was served. Not what he wants to hear but -- TOO SLOW. This place can do better. Does not value customer.

Unassuming from the exterior as it is located in a…read morestrip mall off State St, you step inside to a sophisticated space with a nice mix of traditional and modern Italian style. The restaurant is separated into three distinct spaces. You enter into the middle room, which has some seating, a large pizza oven, several display cases of food and desserts and a coffee bar. Heading past the coffee bar into the left room, there is a modern space with bright natural light and a classy ambiance. This would be my choice for a fancy date or special occasion. It also seems less busy on that side, at least to me. Perfect for a lovely conversation in the company of someone fun. The room on the right is a little more dim, and has the appearance of a lounge. There is a bar with several whiskey bottles on display, and plentiful seating. When I visit the restaurant for lunch, this space often isn't used for seating so maybe it is dedicated for events or overflow. The prices are definitely very high. The bathrooms are clean and parking is very easy out front. This is definitely not a place that I would go unless it was for a nice occasion, but the service is outstanding and the food is really spectacular. I hear they have a back patio that is available seasonally and I can't wait to check it out soon!

I ended up getting the special which was the buttered noodles with truffle and the soup which was a minestrone. The noodles were good and the soup was decent as well but be forewarned a bit spicy. The arancini was 10/10 sooo good- a must buy! Unfortunately the service was not good at all. We had a male older server that was extremely rude. He cut us off while ordering and wouldn't allow us to order drinks and food at the same time... after spending $200+ in one dinner you have a certain expectation for service and that was missed. We asked if he would be willing to split the bill into two separate transactions (which he didn't want to do) and then made a comment about if we split the bill down the middle "it would have only made a $10 difference".
