This is absolutely the worst Italian food that I’ve ever had in many years. — certainly Italian people do not own this restaurant. Nobody would serve overcooked pasta, and calamari that smells and taste like it came out out of the deep freeze of target. For $100 you are better off going to 7-Eleven in my opinion
We forgot to pull anything to eat for dinner so we stopped at Bucatini to have dinner. We have been there before but it’s been a few years. We sat in a booth right next to the open windows which had great breeze coming inside. We started off with the calamari fritti which was delicious then my wife had pappardelle bolognese and I had veal Marsala. Both orders were quite large but very tasty. The sauce on the veal was one of the best I have had. Great date night restaurant.
Stopped in at Bucatini last night while in Palm Desert. Dina was our server and was professional, attentive, and friendly. We ordered the Bolognese Pasta entree and a vegetarian pizza. The food was quite good, as was the service. The tail end of the Super Bowl game was on as the two teams went into overtime. Great game, good food and service. The ambiance was positive and friendly.
Highly recommended

Came for dinner. Sat in a booth by the window. Service was good, and food was served quickly. We had the salsiccia pizza which was just lukewarm but otherwise tasty, and the bucatini Sicilians, which had great sausage and a very flavorful sauce.
Great little Italian spot with quality food. Not fussy more of a bistro vibe. Great cocktails and appetizers. The chicken parmigiana is huge and full of flavor. Chicken Piccata was delicious and the mozzarella triangles were a nice start to the meal.
Good food, ok service.
I ordered the Spaghetti and Meatballs. The pasta was a little too Al dente (under cooked) for my taste. The meatballs were ok, a little too much filler and missing some seasoning. The sauce was good, not marinara, but good.
I loved the fresh toasted bread basket with the olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
For the dessert, I was torn between ice-cream or tiramisu. I ended up ordering the tiramisu and it was still a little frozen from the freezer, but still delicious! So. I guess I got both ;)
The atmosphere is nice ; a cross between restaurant and bar.

Absolutely delicious Italian food. My wife and I found this place while in town for a concert and gave it a try. It was a stifling 116 degrees and as we poured our way through the door looking for relief from the heat. The place is tucked away in a corner of nice little shopping center. The staff is friendly and the place is cleananf kempt (minus a fidgety front door 😆) with an Italian/sports bar feel. It presents itself as an Italian place without all the stuffiness one might expect from a "high-end" place. The menu was pretty big with what seemed like a lot of authentic Italian dishes. I settled for the homemade beef short rib ravioli and my wife got the tried and true chicken parmesan while starting with some garlic flatbread. I'll be honest, I was concerned because sometimes when local restaurants claim everything is homemade, it can be difficult to live up to that promise, especially when the place isn't super busy, which this place wasnt, on a Friday night at 5 pm. The flatbread came out and within just a few minutes it was gone. Remarkably flaky dough, thin and crispy but soft with just the right touch of garlic and butter. It was absolutely delicious and it makes me regret not getting a pizza if that's similar to how the crust is. My ravioli was fresh, had amazing flavor and perfectly cooked vegetables. My wife's chicken parmesan was exactly the same. The food was so good! Great flavors with an obvious nod to being homemade and authentic as they didn't taste as one-dimensional like typical american-italian places we are used to. We aren't in this area often, but will for sure go back just to deep dive into that menu. If your in the area, you need to give this place a go, the food is fantastic!
First time here and we loved the atmosphere, friendliness of the staff and most definitely the FOOD. Everything was great but the bread 🍞 it was just too cheap tasting to compliment the delicious food they cook here. Sam's club sales good hoagie bread that would go perfect with the meals.
