Bucatini

I had the best experience here! The restaurant is pet friendly, which made everything even more perfect for us. The host, Nelly, was absolutely incredible. She spoke to us in both Spanish and English since my friends and I speak different languages, and she made everyone feel comfortable and included. She was attentive to us at all times, constantly checking in and making sure we had everything we needed. Her kindness and professionalism truly made the difference in our visit. Also, Diego, our server, was great! I totally recommend this place and would definitely come back!

Bucatini is a beautiful restaurant with a cozy atmosphere, a lovely bar, and a great overall setup. The hosts were incredibly friendly and made us feel welcomed and comfortable from the moment we arrived. Our waiter was also kind and attentive. We started with the tuna tartare and octopus appetizers, and both were absolutely delicious. For our main courses, my husband ordered the squid ink fettuccine with shrimp in red sauce (a special of the day), and he thought it was just okay. I had the Bucatini Al Gusto with carbonara sauce. Unfortunately, the porcini mushrooms were overcooked and tasted burnt, which was disappointing. For dessert, my husband had the tiramisu, but he couldn’t really taste the coffee flavor—it was mostly chocolate. Overall, the ambiance and service were excellent, but some of the dishes did not meet our expectations.

We came to Bucatini over the holidays to have a cozy meal after taking the family for our annual tree sighting and some shopping. We were pleasantly surprised that it was not the typical tourist trap due to the location in Rockefeller. Our server was friendly and attentive. It was comfortable with plenty of space for our large group. We tried the homemade bucatini and it was outstanding. All the other dishes our party had were equally enjoyable. The only area for improvement would be the noise level as it could get noisy but it had no impact on our enjoyment of the meal. We will definitely be back to visit again.

Amazing experience! Food exceptional, flavorful and presentation so beautiful! Service amazing, my friend had dietary restrictions: gluten free and dairy free To me the fact that they could accommodate her so easily impressed me a lot! The whole staff were very friendly and Diego the manager was super attentive and full of positivity! You can tell that they work as a team and make sure to keep a peaceful work environment. Atmosphere 11/10 Highly, Highly recommend this restaurant!!

Service is very attentive and friendly. The food was either excellent or not so excellent. The pear salad was very good with cooked pears in mixed greens and candied walnuts. The fish course was well prepared and crafted well onto the serving plate. Now the real disappointment was the tomato soup. All I can say was it was orange in color and tasteless. They would have been better off serving canned soup and doctoring it up. It was a disconnect from the rest of the meal. The restrooms were for both sexes. You had a stall with a lock and shared the sink area. I can’t imagine any woman who needed to freshen up that would have liked this set up. The distance from the stall to the sinks could be problematic.

We recently hosted a corporate dinner at Bucatini for our customers and prospects. The private dining room was stunning with a drop down view into the kitchen. Our guests loved watching our orders literally in the making. The servers were friendly and accommodated our group of over 30+ with ease. The entire restaurant is beautiful, and the food was just wonderful! And creatively plated. We had only 1 dietary restriction and they were able to accommodate it no problem, and were sure to make the guest feel taken care of. In terms of planning, they were relatively seamless to work with all via email. I’d definitely recommend for a private dining experience. It’s also in a convenient location.

I came to fashion week in feb and a a friend of mine recommended me this place. The service is amazing, Nelly just help us to choose the best options for dinner in our Valentine’s Day. She is super kind and the experience has not been unique if she wasn’t there. There was a misunderstanding in with one plate but Nelly help out to change it, sooo great. The food tasted so good and the server Luna never missed the change of the plates and we will come back for sure. I totally recommend this place to have a beautiful dinner !

The ambiance and service was great. Cozy, but ver elegant date night feeling. The food was delicious! I got this seafood special pasta which was amazing and they were not skimpy with the seafood! The dessert was small for the price, but very delicious. If you are visiting rockafellar and that area, I would recommend getting a reservation here! Book it an hour to the time you want to eat.

I seriously cannot recommend this restaurant enough. The atmosphere was beautiful, and we were seated with a view into the kitchen. The service was incredible, with Diego and our server, Eduardo, making our experience super special. We were celebrating my birthday, and they brought us a complementary tiramisu to celebrate, singing happy birthday in a super personalized way. Finally, the food was INCREDIBLE. We ordered the whipped ricotta and brussels sprouts for an appetizer, which were both absolutely delicious, and the Campanelle Al Funghi and special of the day for an entree which were equally amazing. My only regret was not coming hungry enough as we couldn't finish all the amazing food! The warmth and professionalism of the staff coupled with the amazing food truly created a wonderful dining experience!

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!!

Very good Italian spot in midtown. Highly attentive wait staff. Great variety on the menu. Noise level was moderate for lunch. There is no lunch special. I would say that would go a long way. For midtown, there are a ton of nice Italian restaurants, and this one has fairly high pricing. Food was good, not great. I think I'd be more lenient on the review of the pricing improved Tried a lot. Had the following: Gin Martini - good Coffee - great Arancini - amazing Caesar salad - not enough dressing. Pretty dry. Wouldn't get again Whipped ricotta - the roasted peppers were very good. The pistachio and basil ones were ok Salmon cigars - don't recommend. Strange texture and fishy taste Skillet focaccia - must get Filet Mignon - eh. Not super tender. Sauce was ok. Foie gras was flavorless and I think I had a single sliver of black truffle on it If the prices were like $15-20 cheaper per dish, I think I could live with this. For the price, pretty tough to compare to other spots

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 !!!

Can't say anything good about this place. Reservation on a Monday for 7:30. Came in huge amount of people waiting to be seated. Checked in asked to wait 10-15 minutes. After 30 I asked what was happening and was told another 5. After 45 was told another 10 and we just walked out. Absolutely ridiculous. Huge crowd of people waiting for nothing.

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.

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).

Excellent pick to go here! Recommend! Awesome menu, great drinks, charming atmosphere ! Very very elegant. We went as part of our New York trip but it seemed like it's good for family, dates, friends night out. Check it out !

Service is great. Food as well. Ambiance is good. Not too noisy. Food took a while but maybe because it was busy that evening.

Enjoyed after a show. Higher end Italian, beautiful decorated and appointed. The food menu was diverse, the wine menu not as diverse. Excellent food, great service.

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.

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!

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.

It's a beautiful new space. So chic and nice for midtown. Customer service was great. Had a wonderful Negroni and calamari and Cesar salad. It's a little $$$ but great splurge. They do have a HH but you will only have HH prices while at the bar. Service great. Ambience great and food and drinks were great. Bathrooms were clean and smelled fantastic.

The service was unbelievable, Diego took very good care of us and made sure we had anything and everything we needed. The food was absolutely delicious, I tried the Butternut Squash soup and the Braised Short Rib special. The soup was rich and creamy, and the short rib was delicious.

Food was amazing, restaurant was gorgeous, and our server Eduardo was incredible. Would 10/10 recommend Bucatini and request him again!

A friend of mine was supposed to have a birthday party there on Saturday, November 22, 2025 (for 10) but the Event Planner screwed up and we all left to another place. We were all disappointed and must also say they were not very accommodating.

Beautiful new midtown venue, with great service and presentation to match the flavors

Great new food spot! They have bottomless mimosas, brunch and Italian food. We got the bucatini, French toast, steak, burger and avocado toast. Very kind staff and gorgeous atmosphere! I definitely recommend

Bucatini is a very popular new eatery in Midtown East. I stopped in for a solo lunch and sat at the bar. The dining room was swarming with suits. I ordered Black Fettuccine with Shrimp. My dish was very good. The complimentary Bread was nothing special. Service was a bit slow, but acceptable. My bill was reasonable, and I expect to return with Ashley P. in the near future.

Beautifully created space. Every appetizer was incredible. The entrees and desserts were gorgeous and unique in presentation. Chic atmosphere. The second floor looks like it would be great to host a private event.

We found this lovely restaurant while visiting New York during Thanksgiving week. We started with a Margherita pizza, with thin, crisp tender crust, which was as good as what we have when visiting Italy. We had the Pollo Guto, pappardelle, and ravioli, and all were excellent. The cocktails were also top notch. And the dessert! Try it all. Our waiter, David, was very friendly and attentive. We plan to come back here next time we're in town.

Do not recommend this restaurant unfortunately. Had a horrible experience in planning my birthday brunch there for 12 people. Was promised bottomless DJ brunch. Arrived to an empty/dead restaurant at 1:30pm on a Saturday with a DJ not playing any music and the servers arguing with me there's no longer a bottomless brunch. The event coordinator is the worst event coordinator I've ever come across completely disorganized. Left with my 12 people to take our business elsewhere since they did not want to accommodate and the DJ was just standing there- they didn't seem to care to lose the business even when there were only 5 other people in the entire restaurant. Called to speak with manager to discuss experience, left message, Manager never called me back. So unfortunate for a beautiful restaurant that just opened! They don't seem to care about their customers!

Good food, good ambiance, good service! Truffle pizza, Bucatini Pasta with Vodka, Caesar salad, Truffle pasta

I enjoyed this place completely. The team was impressive, remarkably watchful and engaging. Their dishes never disappoint on flavor. I was surprised by how neat and trendy everything looked. This place has completely won me over.

My wife and I took my mom for her first ever visit to NYC, where we have visited multiple times. We selected this restaurant, based on proximity to our hotel and since it recently opened, we had some reservations on whether it would be good. To our pleasant surprise, it was excellent! Even my mom, who has rarely ate much since the passing of my dad, she ordered the raviolis and ate everything! My wife and I will definitely be back when we return to town. I'm confident we will definitely need reservations next time! Btw, ask for Santiago, who was very kind and welcoming in his service to us!

Good service, food is tasty but not extraordinary, loud specially if you are trying to have a business meeting

We were absolutely blown away by the incredible service provided by Yuri during our recent board meeting dinner. She handled every detail with precision, warmth, and grace, ensuring our VIP guests felt truly valued from start to finish. Her ability to anticipate needs, solve problems effortlessly, and create a welcoming atmosphere was nothing short of extraordinary. It's clear she takes immense pride in her work--and it shows. The owners/managers should be extremely proud to have such a dedicated, talented professional on their team. She made a lasting impression, and we are beyond grateful!

Our first time at this restaurant which is fairly new. We were blown away. The ambiance is chic, the food was delicious and the service was over the top (our waiter was Carlos). Highly recommend this place. We will definitely be going back,

I've been here once before and I have not been disappointed. This place never fails to amaze me. Tried their brunch today and it was so good! Definitely would recommend brunch here. We love Diego here, he makes us feel so at home at this place with his amazing service!!

Food is excellent but service was absolutely abysmal. For bottomless mimosas it took up to 10 minutes to get a refill. Lots of communication problems with front of house, no one seemed to know what was going on. Food was auctioned off at the table (on a 3-top no less) full plates of food were taken away while bites were being taken. Service needs serious work here because the quality of the food demands it.

I had a TERRIFIC experience at Bucatini. Their private room is gorgeous and the service in this restaurant is top notch. You will not encounter snobby or lackluster midtown service here - truly gracious people. The food was superb and the cocktails were even better. I enjoyed a mocktail which was fantastic and the cocktails I saw coming out of the bar looked incredible. Truly 5 stars - I cannot wait to go back and plan to host events here in future!

Best pasta I've ever had, no exaggeration. Amazing customer service too. We tried the bucatini al gusto, marg. pizza, burrata, & whipped ricotta - everything was 10/10.

I don't usually write reviews, but this place deserves it. As a former New Yorker who's eaten at many Italian restaurants, I was blown away. We came with a large group, and every single person loved their meal from start to finish. The service was outstanding and the food was just as impressive. The campanelle was delicious, and the desserts were a hit with everyone at the table. Truly a fantastic experience all around, and I can't wait to come back!

one of the most beautiful restaurants in NYC! For lunch , had the beet salad and seared tuna and it was truly amazing in taste and appearance!!! loved every second I was there.
