Bucatini

Really great service and good food. The restaurant is bright and comfortable, and the staff are very attentive and accommodating. The menu offers a good variety of pastas, pizzas, antipasto items, dessert items and an extensive wine/​cocktail selection.

First time trying Bucatini last night and was extremely underwhelmed. It was my birthday and my husband thought it would be nice to surprise me with a lobster pasta dish so he ordered for take-​out, picked it up and when I opened it, I was surprised at how little lobster there was! It was literally tiny little shreds scattered into the dish. The sauce and pappardelle was tasty but for $ 27 + tax… I would not order this.

First time here, and good atmosphere and dinner was better then expected. Would recommend, but everyone is their own judge.

The décor is beautiful. The service was a bit slow though, I went on a Thursday night there was only one server and one «bus person», clearing tables.
We had a party of 4 I ordered linguini di mare and two of my guest ordered pizza and one ordered a mushroom risotto. My pasta was amazing with a great portion of calamari, shrimp and mussels. I actually think there was more seafood than pasta. Those who ordered pizza said it tasted fresh. The risotto however was nothing special but it wasn’t horrible.
I would go back. But I will be prepared to do a bit of waiting. Not much cute places like this in Brampton. I hope they continue to improve their service.

Great service and food and a warm reception — hard to beat that.

I’m reviewing the food only, because we did lunch take out at work. I ordered the Pappardelle Royale. It was very very average. For the cost of the dish, there was very little lobster, and what was there was very rubbery and over-​cooked. The sauce was fairly flavourless. I was just really unimpressed. I also tried the 2 dishes my coworkers ordered — both of them were very forgettable, and all of us were really disappointed. In comparing them to other Brampton Italian restaurants, Canelli’s is still the best in town. VASTLY superior to this place, and the prices are much better too. An added note, the spinach salad that my coworker received was the saddest, limpest thing I’ve ever seen!

This well designed restaurant gives off the essence of fine dining. The décor is nice and who I believe might be the owner (she kept coming to our table to talk to us but never told us who she was) was very friendly and welcoming.
For appetizers we ordered the calamari and asiago flambé. Both were good, not amazing but good. the quantity of food for an appetizer is very respectable but the price is not worth the quality.
For entrees, my two guests ordered the gargonzola pasta and the lobster pasta. Neither were really great and both very over priced. My wife who ordered the gargonzola had asked for the chef to add some vegetables to the dish which was otherwise plain. He did so but merely added the seasoned vegetables that are served with every entrée and don’t really pair well with her meal. For example, her pasta included beans which was quite peculiar. Not what we would expect from a restaurant trying to position itself as high end.
I hummed and hawed over the different entrée dishes but decided against ordering one because it didn’t seem right that they were all served with the same sides (seasoned vegetables and potatoes). For the prices they charge, my expectation is that they would pair the sides to go with the main dish.
I opted for the quatro pizza. It’s supposed to be served with the ingredients divided into 4 sections. I asked to have them all mixed together across the entire pizza instead. That ended up being a mistake, but it’s my own for making a special request and can’t fault the chef for that one. The crust was burnt on the edges though and that I can certainly criticize them about.
The bottled beer selection was adequate but the draughts were not. Only 3 choices on tap. The wine selection was vast and impressive. I ordered a merlot and they served me a very tasty glass.
For desert I has the tiramassu. This was the highlight of the night. It was very light and delicious. Finally, something that was worth paying for!

Third visit to this establishment and have too say all three have been excellent.
Greater warmly by the Manager who checked on us throughout the evening. Server (Suzie) was extremely attentive and had good knowledge of the menu and wines.
Four guests, three different entrees all of which were great. Three apps all good sized portions and well received by our part. Nice bottle of wine reasonably priced.
Have come to expect great service and food here and have yet to be disappointed.
Not very many great restaurants in Brampton so hope Bucatini prospers. Will be back regularly. Surprised to see other reviews less enthusiastic but my experience has always been tremendous.

Located in the old Osso Bucco building, Bucatini had manage to completely transform the place into an upscale and trendy Italian restaurant. Despite the beautiful interior and friendly service, food was however, very blend and portion was small. I NEVER add salt to my dish and I had to ask the server for some. He nicely offered to bring back the dish to the kitchen so they could fix it, which they did, but then, all I tasted was only garlic.
I hope they will turn it around, as you can tell that the owners have invested a lot into this place. I left disappointed as I was really hoping to welcome another good Italian restaurant into the neighbourhood to compete with Osso Bucco.
