Bucatini Restaurant & Bar

Great atmosphere, followed by great service.
The food was great.
I was invited to their function rooms.
Highly enjoyed it.

Impressions on our first visit — the restaurant is a clean and pleasant affair: comfortable leather chairs, dark wood tables covered with white paper and linen, dark red ceiling and feature walls.
We were quickly seated near the windows, which we requested online if they recommended it.
It was relatively quiet despite the seven occupied tables, including two larger groups.
Service was prompt, and the waitstaff were friendly. Our food arrived within 25 minutes of ordering, not bad for the dishes we ordered.
The paella was competent, with half a Moreton Bay Bug sitting on the tasty mix of rice, chicken and chorizo. I could have asked for more chorizo and perhaps an extra minute of softening the rice, but it is good value for the price. I’ve come to enjoy a good paella over the years, and I’d rate this one ³⁄₅. My wife went for the porterhouse steak, and found it more medium than the medium-​rare she requested. She rates it Average yet good value. On a higher note, the desserts were very good, both the sticky date and the Toblerone cheesecake.
As we were eating we thought: we really should ask what the restaurant does well, and not just go for what we think looks good on the menu. Mental note for any future restaurant visits!

Loved this restaurant… a last minute booking for a family dinner did not disappoint. Lovely ambiance, great service and delicious food. We will definitely return to this restaurant… would even love to try their $ 25.00 weekday lunch menu.
