Im very sorry i have to be honest with my visit. I came yesterday and it's my first time visit this restaurant. The ambiance its making me super happy by the time we step in. very nice restaurant. The food its delicious. But im very sad with the service. The server asking if we want the drink to be on the rocks or not? And we said yes. But the drink dont come "on the rocks". So We ask the server with the beidge color shirt,and he said our drinks its on the rocks. While on the rocks means a drink is served over ice cubes. When our drink its served on beer glass with ice that already crush or shake together with the drink. If the drink dont come in options "on the rocks" we're totally okay. Maybe saying "my apologies,the drink don't come in options on the rocks,should i make a change" or anything. But the server with the beige shirt teaching us that our drinks is served "on the rocks". It looks like he's teaching us back about our order. while our server its the one giving us the options for that. I do feel embarrassed about this. But it's ok. This place its just not going to be to our recommendation because of the server. Also the server should not took the menu and read whats inside the dish in front of us. When i firm about what i order. I think we are very in awkward situation. The server should more knowledge about the menu more than us. read more

This is a nice old-school Italian-American restaurant. Feels like a little place in old NYC's Little Italy. The food was good. Typical and well executed. Service was friendly, helpful, and attentive without being overbearing. For some reason, they wanted to prop the door open on a day when the temp was 62º outside. We asked for it to be closed because it was a COLD breeze. The server asked. The owner refused. Minus one star for that. But we will return if we're in the area. read more

Came back for the second time. This place is still great. It wasn't as busy this time around and I was able to sit inside. The food came out quick and was very hot. The portions are very large and was able to take pasta home. The service was also great with refilling waters. This is a great authentic Italian restaurant with varying noodle shapes. read more

Wow, this place was PACKED on a Friday night, and for good reason. Quick heads up: the parking lot is tight and terrible, so plan accordingly. We came to Bucatini, and we got a stroke of luck as we pretty much sat at the last open table. The indoor decor was rustic and charming, with the music of Andrea Bocelli serenading the guests. We ordered: 1. Side of garlic bread 2. Clam based pasta 3. Mushroom ragu with pappardelle pasta The garlic bread is a fantastic starter! The bread is super garlicky (the more garlic, the better), and it paired well with the balsamic vinegar and olive oil that's provided. I wish the bread was a bit crispier, as it lacked a nice crunch. But overall, this is a solid appetizer to kickoff the meal. (Also a perfect bread soaker for your pasta sauce if you fancy your pasta dish!) The pasta dishes were pretty good - not great, but definitely scratched my pasta itch. And the portions are huge! I left feeling very full and satisfied. Yet, I felt that I had to add a generous amount of salt to my pasta, as it tasted a bit unseasoned. But as I continued eating each strand of pappardelle and slowly made my way to the bottom of the plate, the flavor seemed enhanced and tasty to my liking. My wife's clam pasta also seemed light in flavor, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, Bucatini brings some great character in the heart of Edmonds, despite the rough parking lot. I would recommend checking this place out if you're hunting for an Italian restaurant in north Seattle, but keep your expectations level-headed. read more

Everyone seems to love Bucatini's, but I think it's just meh. While the pasta seems fresh, the flavor profile is unremarkable, and everything is too salty. To be fair, I am really picky about my Italian food having spent years in the Italian neighborhood in Boston. Can't really compare, I guess, but still. It's really hard for me to recommend this place other than it's near the house. read more

TLDR: Great neighborhood Italian spots. Great service, food, and vibes. Food is on the heavier side and comes in large portions so be prepared to take home so to-go boxes. Would absolutely recommend this place. Food: We had the red snapper and the beet pasta (sorry I forgot the names on the menu). Both were outstanding, lots of citrus on the snapper to cut the richness and loved the creaminess of the beet pasta. Both dishes were served with the pasta of the day (that day was corkscrew pasta). Portions are HUGE, neither of us were able to finish so we had to-go for the next day. Service: The staff here is extremely friendly. We had to wait about ~10 minutes outside (8pm on a Friday) before we got seated and the staff was kind enough to turn on the outdoor heat lamp to keep us comfortable. Price: Dishes were about ~20-30 each, but with the quality of food and the large portions I would say more than worth it read more

Bucatini is my favorite Italian restaurant in all of Washington! It doesn't look like much from the outside, but step inside and you'll feel right at home in the warm wooden interior. The strip mall parking was easy as can be and the service was great. But it was the food that blew us away. My friend got the Antipasto and it was phenomenal - fresh, light and so flavorful. I feel like it's hard to find this kind of dish done to this level of quality outside of Europe. The variety of ingredients was incredible. There were at least 2 types of olives, 2 types of cured meats, 2 types of cheese, yellow zucchini, parsnips, cucumbers, peppers, asparagus, and green beans, topped with garlic, fresh basil, olive oil and balsamic vinegar. It definitely whet our appetite and set the stage for the entrées. La salsiccia was finger licking good. Generous sausage and tomato was smothered in melted cheese and herbs, all on top of delicious crusty bread. The pappardelle alfredo was surprisingly light and clean which let the subtle flavors shine through. Best of all, the portions were huge and the prices were fair. I would want for nothing if I could eat here regularly. read more

I went for the first time with my brother on a Thursday evening recently. It was busy and there was a brief wait before we got seated. The ambiance of the restaurant is great - it was packed, but quiet enough to have an easy conversation and loud enough to have some energy and a sense of privacy. We got a Caesar salad, garlic bread, the Manzo Nicole, the Salmone Pietro, and Reisling. Everything was delicious! Huge portions, even for my brother (who has a bigger appetite than I do!), and they made for great leftovers the next day. Our server was so friendly and thoughtful. They said it was only their fourth day, but we couldn't have guessed with how well taken care of we were (thanks, Case)! We'll absolutely be back with friends and family to try more of the menu. I'd recommend to anyone who enjoys a cozy, but lively atmosphere and Italian food. Definitely come hungry and with others that will let you snag a taste of their food! read more

We celebrated 4 years with my bf and it was our anniversary! We found this place and it was an automatic WIN! We loved the ambience and the food was amazing. Very true Italian. We had the garlic bread which was delicious! I had the Salsiccia Nicole which was Italian sausage (sliced) with beets and a creamy Gorgonzola sauce! It was a little oily but still so amazing! My bf has the spaghetti and meatball which was tasty! We had wines and our server was on it! Definitely coming back! read more

Great traditional Italian food, fantastic ambience reminiscent of the gold 'ole days. I keep expecting Frank to walk in with the rest of the rat pack. A tad noisy in the dinner hour rush.... Adds to the energy. Food is excellent. It's a fun place to stop. read more

Quaint old style Italian place with dark wooden decor, cozy enough. Tried the Bolognese with house salad. The portions are huge. It was full of tender stew like beef as well as ground meat or cut up meatballs? While good and hearty it was quite garlicky. The service was great and staff friendly. Just not sure it was the meal I hoped for? I think I am a bolognese snob. read more

Just visited this authentic Italian restaurant. I have traveled to New York, Italy and many other little Italy's around the United Stares and Bucatini is the real Italian experience. What I loved about the restaurant: 1. Food came out slow but it was worth the wait because you get homemade fresh. Plus they're crazy busy, worth the wait. 2. Server amazing, the server was amazing but because they were so busy sometimes I had to flag them, but super nice and accommodating. 3. Atmosphere, it has all the famous people pictures, warm wood tones through out. I do have a few recommendations, having grown up in a restaurant and having been a restaurant critic in the past. 1. Always offer fresh cracked pepper and parm. Don't wait to be asked by your customer. 2. Don't ask if they want dessert, bring out a desert cart or menu with pictures, suggest a scoop of lemon cello sorbet to clean the pallet. Suggest a dessert drink. 3. Leave a craft of water, especially if your server is very busy, this helps them out not having to come back multiple times to fill water glasses. Thank you again for an amazing experience. read more

Impeccable restaurant. I loved the food here. Exquisite Italian food - very delicious. The tiramisu was out of the world. One of the best tiramisu I ever had. And for the right reasons as our server also pointed that tiramisu along with their gelato is imported everyday from Italy and they are fresh and prepared under 24 hours. The garlic bread and the cheese dressing were really subtle and delicious. We tried the gnocchi pasta with Gorgonzola and Peas. I haven't tried such a dense and rich tasting pasta sauce. Very good. Only disappointment was Cocktail. We got Raspberry Margarita which was very average and too salty. Probably avoid cocktails here. The ambience is upscale and great for dates. read more

Great Italian food in Edmonds, WA has been found! Came here in a group of four. Nice interior (but really dark inside so my photos didn't turn out great). Menu had a large selection of options. I got the parppardella bolognese and others in the group had the parppardella Alfredo, lasagna, and pasta primavera. Pasta primavera with shrimp was our least favorite dish. My wife ordered it and thought it lacked flavor. Our favorite was probably the salad we shared as an appetizer- the insalata caprese. Meal portion sizes are HUGE!!! We should have shared two dishes. None of us even made it halfway through the meals. Not sure how the restaurant makes money with such huge portion sizes? Server was very friendly and attentive. We would definitely come back if in the area. read more

My friends and I had such a blast at this restaurant tonight. All first timers and very satisfied with generous amount of food, price and service! Can't go wrong with Buccatini I must say everything we had from the salad to antipasto to pasta to entree were extremely flavorful with lots of protein and vegetables. Even the non alcoholic drink like raspberry lemonade and tiramisu were so good The sauce on the pork dish was delicious the leftover sauce went home with me. Planning to add more pasta for lunch tomorrow. Seafood pasta had lots of shrimps, scallops, mussels and clams with Buccatini buried underneath you can't even see. Antipasto had big chunks of smoked mozzarella, ham, olives and vegetables with kale on top. Cesar salad with pile of romain lettuce covered with delicious Cesar dressing. The pork dish with creamy mushroom sauce and side of grilled vegetables. This Italian restaurant is a gem, you must visit with empty stomach. read more

My friends and I recently went for dinner and we were all very please with our pastas and the chewy bread as well as the lime cello cake and tiramisu! It was all very yummy! My only complaints are that the host was a little rude, the bread isn't warmed, and by not fault of bucatinis, the parking kind of sucks, but there is a large parking lot. I LOVED the Marsala pasta, it was so well balanced. My husband also thought the bolognese was super filled with meat! Will definitely come back for a date night! read more

We were all surprised by the quality of the food at this place. It had popped up on our foodie radar some time ago and we finally got out there to try it. I had, admittedly, been reluctant...mostly because of the location...which is, essentially, a strip mall on a busy street corner next to Ivar's and across the street from a walgreens. But we did go. Walking inside, I was very surprised at the nice feel to the place. Busy, nice bar...very busy. July 3rd, so a lot of people out presumably because they have tomorrow off? We had to sit outside (could've waited for an inside table but nah). The car noise was pretty annoying...why do people soup up their cars to make huge pops when they rev it? Am I aging myself? I don't think so, that's just annoying. But this is a side-effect of sitting outside at this place. The exterior atmosphere does not do the food justice. I had the SALSICCIA GIOVANNI. It was f-ing exceptional. My eyebrows raised at the first bite. This is significant. They didn't stay there or anything...but...I was surprised at how good it was. I also had a glass of the San Vicente Chianti...excellent pairing. My son got the Primavera...the dish was beautiful but he said "For how much they've got going on here, I have to say it's pretty bland." I mean...primavera. It looked good...our third friend had the gnocchi with gorgonzola and peas. So good. Very rich. She also got the cranberry aperol spritz. She liked the pasta but the drink was not that great...'too cranberry-y' she says. The portions were massive. I was three bites in saying that I had at least 4 meals in front of me. Brought it all home, happily. The garlic bread was also pretty incredible. All in all- fantastic food. I don't think there were any misses. I'll forgive the primavera but just because that's not my favorite dish anyway. I'm looking forward to trying their shrimp and other items. Desserts. For three of us we were all-in at $125 with tip. We'll be back. I'll sit inside next time. read more

Second time visit for me. I live in Arizona and have been dreaming about this restaurant since the last time we ate here. I would probably drive from Arizona just to get some of their gnocchi. The restaurant feels like my family dinner table and sounds like a family party. Very much at home here the service is always lovely. Anna Maria, who served us tonight, was a fun person to talk to. She said that she is new to this restaurant but still had great suggestions for what we should try!!! This time our favorite was the manicotti Bandiera with three different sauces. We tried the scampi and calamari, and it was scrumptious. The only thing wrong with it was that there wasn't more! We eat it so quickly and we're so happy with every bite. The garlic bread appetizer did not disappoint fresh pieces of garlic and delicious Parmesan scattered across crispy bread was a perfect dipping vessel for our scampi and calamari sauce. you also tried Bucatini amatriciano and gnocchi with Gorgonzola sauce and peas! Nothing could have been better. The chef outdid themselves again!! Finished off with the most delicate tiramisu. We will be back! We loved it! read more

I found parking to be a little tricky. It looks like there is ample space but the spots fill up pretty quickly and there seems to be an official row of cars by the sidewalk that makes the space very tight. Something to be aware of as this place gets very busy, especially on Friday and Saturday. The interior decor is very cozy and the darker lighting somehow made it family-friendly and romantic at the same time in an unexplainable way. Cool interior space is what I am trying to say. And food! We ordered: Scampi & Calamari as starter Bucatini Vongole Bucatini Napolitana Pappardelle Alfredo Salsiccia Princepessa They were all tasty and felt home-made as their sign says outside. Portions were pretty huge and we ended up needing 3 boxes to take home the leftovers. All in all, it was a satisfying meal with my family. read more

Another great dinner for a birthday celebration! BIG portions and pricing to match but they don't skimp on protein. After watching Rome all day with the Pope's election and kicking ourselves for not being there, we miss the amazing food we eat whenever we go to Rome! This is not the same food! But it's American counterpart with large portions, friendly enthusiastic service, and of course leftovers!! This time I had the Parpadelle swimming in more meatball and stewed beef ragu that rivals my all day recipe yet less pasta than protein. Really good though. My wife loved her seafood and son had Salmon on the specials menu. Great neighborhood joint that we will be back to! read more

For Italian food, it's good. I was not "wowed" at all but it was good and plenty big servings. The price point was good. I just thought it was too loud and cramped, but I get the "family style" vibe there. Maybe I'll go back sometime and try it again. read more

We went in for a weekday lunch. There were a few other people there. It is kind of dark inside but that is the intention on creating the moody atmosphere. There were some candles on the tables but they weren't lit. I am assuming they light those at dinner but it would be nice to have at lunch, too. The server was very friendly and efficient. We appreciated her friendliness. We both got sandwiches. Wow, the sandwiches are like no other sandwich I have had. I am a lover of sandwiches and these were unique. They are huge and filled to the brim. They are on really sturdy bread. You need a fork and knife to eat them. They are so good! read more

We don't live too close to Bucatini, but we've seen it along the road when we happen to go to Edmonds, and I've always wanted to try it, so the other night we decided to pop in. It was a dark and stormy Friday night, the roads were terrible, and there was nothing cozier than walking in to Bucatini. It just feels like a happy place, down-home comfort Italian food. Unfortunately about 5 other couples also walked in at the same time, so the hostess was a bit distressed, but we were told we could sit at the bar right away, so we took her up on it. The bartender, Angel, was great. She was busy enough we didn't get to chat much, but she was friendly and efficient. We got our drinks quickly, and our food followed shortly after. The cheese bread was amazing. I don't normally care for it much, but this was foccaccia that looked toasted with fresh parmesan on top. It was so good. Someone next to us got the same thing and it's such a large portion, she joked that we could have split it between the two couples. But we finished it all except for two pieces, so no way, lady, we needed our own! I got the carbonara, which was slightly disappointing. I can't put my finger on why, it wasn't bad, it just didn't taste how I usually like it. Maybe it was slighly less than traditional? Or maybe the stuff I usually like is less traditional, I dunno, but it didn't quite live up to my expectation that night. I will say, however, that I had them for leftovers the next day and they hit the spot 100%, so maybe it was just me. There was a lot of bacon (I don't think it was bacon exactly but every place uses something different) and a lot of roasted garlic, both of which were very enjoyable. My wife got a gnocci dish in a sauce and baked in the oven. She added chicken to it and she loved it. I tried some of the sauce with the bread and it was really good. Overall we're happy we went, and we'll definitely be back when we're in the area. It's a crowded place, which is great, there must be a lot of people who know how great it is, so get there early and show up hungry...there will be plenty of food for you! read more

Really a great find! Restaurant is nice and cozy. We went mid afternoon as we had small children with us and it felt like the perfect time. The restaurant is elevated enough, my little kids might have been a little out of place at dinner time. Seafood, pasta dishes, caprese and grinders were stellar! As were the cocktails. Server was nice enough. Kids meal portions were generous and we appreciated that they still had good flavor! Some of the seafood was a tad over cooked but the sauce and pasta compensated. My main gripe was that their bread was so hard!! We got garlic bread and pizza bread for the kids. The garlic bread was almost inedible. Like they left it toasting much too long. Difficult to break or bite. It works okay for the grinders as they had a lot of toppings. But still very tough. We will most definitely return. Love that they have squid ink pasta. read more

Been to Bucatini several times and it's one of my favorite spots to go to. Also budget friendly with generous entree portions. If you are looking for an authentic, family owned Italian restaurant, this is your spot. It is always jammed pack for dinner during the weekends so expect wait times after 630pm if you have larger parties. Ambiance Dark, cozy and has that family owned Italian feel. The restaurant isn't that big, decent size. Service Staff were short staff tonight but they were attentive even though they were busy. No issues. Only had to wait 20 minutes to get a table. They offered us the dining table facing the kitchen. Food As you can see in the photos and videos, all of the food came out piping hot. All of the items we ordered, it came out with generous portions. Enough to eat dining in and for leftovers as well. The restaurant makes in house noodles for the entrees that serves pappardelle. We ordered the following items: Garlic bread - always a must to accompany with your pasta. We ordered one plate of the garlic bread and it was perfect for 3 people. We each got two slices per person. Chicken Parmesan with veggies and pasta - the chicken was lightly breaded, wasn't crispy but overall was good. The portion was the perfect amount of food for one serving. Pappardelle Alfredo plus chicken breast - added the chicken for an extra charge. The chicken breast was pan seared, wasn't dry - supple moist. The Alfredo sauce wasn't too heavy. Kids Alfredo with rigatoni - perfect size. Same view as above but in a smaller size. Seafood bucatini - highly recommend. Doesn't taste fishy. Gives you a variety of seafood: shrimp, mussels, clams, octopus, scallops. This is my second time ordering this entree and is always good. read more

I like excitement. I like adventure. I like trips to Italy. Bucatini is all three in your mouth. It's fantastic. Eating the delicious chicken pesto sandwich is not dissimilar to the experience of seeing your best friend in a crowd after 20 years. You're not sure it's her, but when it's clear it is, it's the best day ever. What am I talking about? Well, I'll tell you. The sandwich is enormous. The question is--where to start? At what angle do I approach this behemoth? And... well... is this for real? Is this a sandwich? Am I about to be sorry or awash in deliciousness? You get where this is going. Deliciousness obviously. Best day ever, see? Yeeeees, I've tried most of their grinders and they all get top marks. Like I said though, they're enormous in all the right ways so don't feel unsettled if you can't finish one in a sitting. They're great for leftovers the next day. And the pasta? You gotta be kidding me. It's like this: if pasta had been invented during the earlier centuries of the Roman Empire (ah, the Roman Empire, a topic I think of daily) it would have its very own deity and would rule all other deities. Fortunately for you, pasta is not only here, but celebrated and worshipped. Bucatini is its temple. Trust me, there will be much rejoicing. Go. Eat. Enjoy. Wonderful staff by the way. read more

This is an amazing Italian restaurant. The portions are huge. I stumbled upon this restaurant while shopping and what a great find.

We went kind of early (4:30/5) on a Saturday as we heard it gets crowded. While it wasn't crowded when we got there, it took awhile to get service. Then when we did, all of a sudden, we were being rushed thru our dinner (not typical of traditional Italian). I had pasta vongole; lots of clams which was appreciated, but too much cheese & pasta NOT al dente (I should've asked, I guess??) Husband had gnocchi, which was very good. But, waitress seemed quick to get us out & offering dessert when we weren't finished & I wanted another glass of wine. Yes, we're in the states, but it'd be nice to go to an Italian restaurant & be able to relax, enjoy dinner, wine & conversation without being rushed through it...it was also my bday and I just wanted to relax on my dinner out! Ambiance was nice inside. I doubt we'll go back. Still looking for more authentic Italian restaurants in the area. read more

Got treated to dinner here by friends whom been before and it was quite busy on a Friday at 545pm, but no wait for our party of 4. Smallish dining area, but not overcrowded. Parking is tricky, as it's a small shared lot. Food was standard Italian fare. I got the Pollo Melanzana & my partner got the Pappardelle Alfredo. Alfredo had thick noodles and the parsley was mixed into the sauce so it was a little hard to pick around (as not a fan). She claimed there were hard bits in the sauce, but couldn't identify what it was...garlic?nuts? No idea and didn't ask. My chicken dish sounded good but confused me when I dug in...breaded chicken, eggplant, pasta and other veggies such as carrots, mushrooms and potatoes (?)... I don't really know, but it was good. A lot. Overall the portions large and the service good. read more
