Da Bucatino

we booked a table for 7pm and just like other reviews have said, it was very empty until around 8pm when it started getting very full and loud all of a sudden. aside from one other table behind us, everyone spoke Italian, giving us the impression this must be frequented by locals. our pasta was delicious and came in generous servings, the bread was complimentary and the wine super affordable. communication with the servers was a little tricky at times because they kept speaking to us in Italian despite our unfortunate lack in any and all language skills that go beyond the names of the menu items, but they were friendly. the kitschy fairy lights in the windows and the dated decor were a little off-putting to us at first, but the food was wonderful and the dessert to die for.

Ordered the Amatriciana and chicken breast. Pasta came out in a timely manner but I had to remind them of the chicken breast once I finished the pasta. Amatriciana was delicious and perfectly done, no complaints. The chicken breast was very simple and a bit dry however. Next time I’d come back just for a pasta entree.

Nice italian restaurant with classic pasta and meat/fish dishes on the menu. Pizza as well after 19:30. The food was lovely and I really enjoyed my ravioli dish. The mixed salad I ordered on the side was plain, but fresh and tasty. My partner had the steak with roasted potatoes on the side and while the meat was slightly overcooked it tasted nice and was tender. The service was great and everyone we dealt with were polite and attentive. We dined relatively early (around 20:00), so the restaurant wasn't very busy wich meant the food was served relatively quickly after ordering. Prices are maybe a touch high, but that is to be expected for a restaurant like this in Rome, so I'm not really docking any points for that. Overall a very pleasant experience and I would recommend it for anyone looking for good, classic, Italian food.

Da Bucatino has it all. Best Roman food you can have, exelent service and a place with a family atmosphere were you will feel like eating at your Italian family home. We had the mixed charcuterie and authentic campana bufala mozzarella as starter. Simply you can not get any better. As second we had a mix of dishes suchs as the lamb (abbaccio al forno) and grilled pork, pasta and sea food and also a chicken breast with salad for one of the parties that was gluten intolerant. All were great. Service also was agile. We booked in advance on the same day( Friday). The place is frequented mostly by locals and not many tourists. A hidden local gem.

We stopped by on a Sunday evening, right around 7:00, without reservations. The server was very kind and got us in just before the dinner rush. By the time we left it was absolutely packed. In hindsight, we should have made a reservation. This is clearly a neighborhood favorite. The food was excellent. We tried the cacio e pepe, carbonara, rabbit, oxtails, and puntarelle. And a bottle of wine. Everything was excellent and the service was great! We are tourists, but felt just as welcome as the locals and had a very nice experience. Our server was a kind man with a good sense of humor - we had fun joking around with him. The prices are very fair and portions large. Ignore the bad reviews posted about this place and give it a try. Make a reservation, be respectful, and keep an open mind. You will not be disappointed!

Naturally my wife is the best cook, but …. …“da Buacatino“ is worth to visit, if you are in this corner of Rome. The restaurant is away from tourist pathes and offers traditionell italian specialities. We had (~) risotto with scampi, spaghetti al pomodori and noodles in very tasty sauce with cheese and pepper. Additional we had a mixed salat (with Ruccola). All was served with fresh bred. The service is engaged and rapid. The toilet is clean, but very small. I can strongly recommend this location.

The best: the food. Quite long list of food. Roman dishes are offered. Had a grilled chicken with salad 🥗 . Portions are big. We did not make a reservation and anyway we got a sit. Wine is good too. Service is nice but dishes take a while to arrive.

We stumbled into this place and a great meal. The service esas quick and the food was great. If you’re paying credit card you have to pay next door.
