The veal marsala was delicious, the cutlets were super tender and sauce was spot-on. And I rarely take restaurant up on their offer of dessert, but I could not pass on the beautiful tiramisu, which was just as tasty as it looked. The restaurant was within walking distance from my hotel, and let’s just say I’m glad I took that walk!

Disappointed in food and drinks and service. Tried to pass off old batch of sangria tasted terrible. Sat in old booth with duck tape on seat that was peeling sticky glue. Lasagna was lukewarm and overpriced. Gave back wrong bill and credit card, waiter didn’t even apologize , said we gave them that way? Overall nothing positive about the experience. Would not go back nor recommend it.

I had a very disappointing experience here. My partner and I were seated and then completely ignored by our server. We waited for 15 minutes without being acknowledge in any way.
What made this especially uncomfortable was that every other table around us (who were white)was being attended to promptly. Our waiter looked at us multiple times and still never came over. The only person who was kind and professional was the hostess, who did her best, but that doesn’t make up for the rest of the experience. We were getting strange looks but we didn’t not expect the same energy from the employees. We then decided to leave.
Whether intentional or not, the situation felt discriminatory and left us feeling unwelcome. Dining out should not make anyone feel invisible. I hope management takes this seriously and looks into how guests are treated on the floor.
Such a shame would’ve left no stars if it was an option.

The wait staff is very friendly & capable, drinks excellent, salmon & pork chops cooked perfectly but for the 3rd time in a row we waited 45 min for our food. None of the 3 times involved more than 2 or 3 other small parties at the same time or food requiring long cooking times. Starting to think it’s not worth the wait or aggravation.

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!

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.

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

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.

I rarely do reviews but feel compelled to because of how bad this was. We found it on Google (where the reviews are good) – the bread basket is white bread put thru a panini press, the Alfredo and piccata sauces were questionable, and the meat (veal and chicken Parmigiana) are nearly inedible. Our server was nice, so that was a plus but it was pricey

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.
