I have been to Bucatini’s twice in the last two months and both times had the 2 courses for $45.00 special. The food was very nice and the service good. I will definitely go back.

7 Diners for an 80th birthday lunch, which was made more memorable with the lovely service, great food and wine. The service was attentive, friendly, professional and effecient. The food was amazing - all the plates were cleaned and everyone was very happy. Particular mention...of the burger, calamari, roast lamb, lasagna and snapper! Thank you for making the day special! Can't wait for the next time.More

Vax status checked before entry was allowed which is reassuring. Service was friendly and attentive even though it was a busy night. No oysters on the first day back from the holiday break but the salt and pepper squid was a good substitute. The acid...of the lemon, the creamy sauce and tender calamari made for a great start. I was tempted by the steak but i had the shanks last time i was here and they were so good i had to order them again. Tasty, generally tender and a good sized serve. Unlike last time we bought our own wine because we were celebrating with some old vintages that we knew wouldn't be on the wine menu but that doesn't mean there isn't a good selection on offer. At $10 a bottle corkage it was worth it but I do wonder exactly what you get for that fee especially now that we have screw caps.More

Thought we would give Bucatini another go after a few years and hearing good things.... We certainly were not disappointed! Hubby started with saganaki, followed by the rib eye steak WHICH was cooked to perfection! I had the main calamari with garden salad. Service was...fast and friendly - we were in and out within the hour! Food tasted brilliant - will definitely go back.More

Have been to this restaurant a few times. Went with family for party of ten at the last minute two couldn’t come. Waiter was very unpleased about this. Not sure why, it was worse for us as the family members were stuck interstate. I had...chicken with mushrooms. Smallish serve and tasted ok but the chicken being breast was dry. Sticky date pudding fine. There are definitely some service personnel Better than others and that makes a lot of difference to the enjoyment of the evening. Couple of times now have encountered grumpy staff. I get that its been hard on the hospitality industry lately. Its been hard on us too. But don’t jeopardise it further by not giving your best to your customersMore

Excellent service and great food. We were a party of 10 and visited just before the snap lockdown for Mum’s 80th birthday. There were COVID safe measures in place and we felt very secure that the business was doing all it could to be safe....We all chose different dishes, all were enjoyed. Highly recommend.More

We were catching up with friends over dinner on lockdown eve. First there was no checking to see if we had Covid registered - seriously folks that is not good enough. In most NSW and Qld venues you are not allowed in the door until...you show you have logged in. At least the wait staff were all wearing masks - well done. It appeared that they were not enough wait staff for the numbers of diners because we struggled to get their attention several times. I ordered the shanks and yes the serve was sizeable and tasty. The meat did fall off the bone however it was quite chewy which was unexpected. I would go back because there are a range of dishes I would like to try but they need to lift their game.More

A group of 6 decided on a night out and chose Bucatini's as a safe bet. Although there were table placements roughly in line with Covid restrictions, overall the place was full and consequently quite noisy. Our greeting was friendly and water served immediately. Since...we last visited the restaurant has introduced an expanded meu and this was most welcome. We chose a variety of dishes from Scaloppini. to Flounder to Paella. All were reported very good although the Paella lacked a real taste. For me the highlight was the entrée special of Calamari and prawn done in a Chilli (?) sauce. Simply great and wished I had ordered it as a main. The restaurant is licensed, or BYO with the latter giving rise to a $10 per bottle corkage charge. It is disappointing to some degree to pay that amount and not have the wine served in any way, just the provision of a glass. As mentioned the place was near to full on the night but staff seemed lacking on the ground. I could only account for four and that stretches the staff somewhat; even so they did a great job All in all a very successful evening and one we will repeat in the futureMore

We have been coming here for years and always been made to feel special. Prior the food and service was always excellent. We’ve been back recently twice to support them and spend money. Well both times it really just feels like we are numbers. There’s...many seating times and people are like on convey-our belts. Get them in and out. The food is not as good as previous, way smaller serves and not at the top standard as previously. The amount of people and dollars going through this business must be massive - each time our food bill is almost $400 and yet they are not taking entertainment vouchers. We bought vouchers for a special birthday - I hope they were accepted. What about giving back to those who have been affected too (it’s not only you guys affected) but we made a point of going out spending money for special occasions and to help those families of business like yours.More

We have been coming here for the last eight years. So I thought I’d spend my 60th birthday dinner there with family. Food was great. No surprises there. However, the service we received was sub par, bordering on embarrassing. The waitress was so distracted and...disappeared for long periods. Eventually I had to call another waiter to help us. So very disappointed for a milestone event. We will not be back unfortunately for quite some time.More

There is plenty of parking at the back and depending on the time you went, off street parking would probably be available as well.
