🌟 Bucatini Caffè – A Perfect 5/5 on Google Maps… But Was It?

📍 1824 S 13th St, Philadelphia, PA 19148 I’ve been looking forward to trying this spot with its perfect 5/5 Google rating for a while — but after visiting, I found the flavors a bit too mild 😕. Not sure if it was an off day or just their usual style… I’d personally give it a 3.8/5 this time. 🍞 Complimentary Bread Free and refillable! The oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes were tasty 🍅👌. 🌶️ STUFFED LONGHOTS – $16 Italian peppers stuffed with cheese, ham, and fig jam. Definitely spicy — proceed with caution if you’re sensitive to heat! 🔥🧀 🍝 BUCATINI – $29 Lobster cream pasta — fragrant but underseasoned in my opinion. I prefer the version at nearby Le Virtù. 🐑 LAMB SHANK – $32 Braised lamb shank with saffron risotto — again, flavors felt a bit too light and lacked depth for my taste. The last two photos show pastas I wanted to try but didn’t get to — maybe those are seasoned better? 🤔 #GlobalFoodie #DinnerTonight #Philly #PhillyFood #PhillyEats #FoodieDiary #PhillyLife #ItalianFood
