"The owner was behind the bar where I sat, and he crafted an authentic Italian drink called Aperol Spritz for me. It was bright and refreshing, perfect for the summer heat. Although I only planned on having a drink and possibly an appetizer, the enticing aroma of Italian cuisine was too tempting to resist. I ended up ordering gnocchi al pesto, which wasn’t even on the menu, but Enzo made it happen. From my very first visit, I felt like part of the family—just like true Italians! The atmosphere, food, and culture here are genuinely authentic. It’s an ideal spot for a small, romantic dinner for two, but they also seem well-equipped to host larger parties in a separate area. The dress code is casual, yet it’s the kind of place where you could wear a shirt and tie and still feel perfectly at home."

Great food. Ordered Chicken Marsala. Good portion, comes with penne pasta. Side salad pricey and is not served before the entree, so need to tell the waiter.

We had been meaning to try this place for years. Moved out of state now back visiting and gave it a whirl. So sad we waited so long to try. Beautifully prepared and tasty food.
Finn
food was good but AC wasn't working. made the visit less than great. edit thanks to response. The AC could not keep up, too hot outside. Food was good and you will not be disappointed.
Claudia
We had a delicious dinner here while we were in Palm Desert. We didn't have a resi so there was a short wait. It was certainly worth it! Food was terrific, service was attentive friendly. View menu

I had an enjoyable experience at Bucatini, and the food was excellent – I tried the roasted calamari, eggplant, Regina Margherita pizza, and Bianca Neve pizza. The owner/manager was very friendly and attentive.
Matthew
Loved the food it was good! The bread was so delicious and so was my food! Staff there was incredible. I only gave it 4 stars because I had to wait along time to be seated and it took along time for my food to come out...

For some reason I always feel like the lady running the car doesn't want to be at work, perhaps it's just me. Food pretty good, they make it in front of you if you sit at the bar. Newer location and I believe this is their 3rd location. View menu

Really great place. Food was excellent. Lots of space. We were a large group of 11 diners and they were accommodated in a special private area on the back. That was great because we could be our loud self. Hostess was amazing. Definitely recommended.

The staff at this restaurant is fantastic—quick, efficient, and friendly. The food is exceptional, truly top-notch. Even the bread is a highlight: freshly baked slices served with balsamic vinegar and oil for dipping. Just a heads-up, the portions are quite large, and it's tempting to fill up on the bread alone. I highly recommend this dining spot!
