Bucato

Well it is official, the hipsters have taken over Culver City and transformed it in ways the public would have never expected. At the original site of Helms Bakery, which is located at Venice and Helms, restaurant owners have began to open up new restaurants to the public. About four years ago, the city of Culver City closed off this intersection so that no vehicles would be able to come through. Since then, there has been a spark of new restaurants at the point of interest. There is Father's Office, which is a bar which supposodly whips up one of the best burgers around town. Unfortunetly, for you minors, the restaurant does not cater to those under the age of twenty-one to enter the premises. If anyone is looking for a top-notch dog, I highly suggest trying Let's Be Frank, whose headquarters are located in the heart of Los Angeles. Their grass fed beff hot dogs are some of the best hot dogs I have ever had to chance to try. While all of these restaurants are unique in each of their own ways, I devoted this blog to discuss a recently opened Italian restaurant known as Bucato. After apporximetly a year of construction, Bucato opened it's doors to public on August 1st. After eating at many of the other fantastic restaurants on this street, I would always say to myself that I wanted to eat there, but I never made much of an effort to try and get in. My father and I were home on a Friday night and had no idea where we wanted to dine, until he came up with the brilliant idea to try Bucato for the first time. Walking into the restaurant, I was not sure what to expect in terms of quality of food, but by the end of my meal, I certainly knew I was willing to come back in a heartbeat. Having a quality waiter or waitress is key to having a one of a meal. After striking conversation with our bartender, he shared with us his favorites on the menu. We began our meal with freshly made Italian garlic bread, which was mixed with the two greatest items, garlic and butter. As an appetizer, my father and I ordered their fried artichoke hearts, which I was a little hesitant to sample, but I enjoyed them quite frankly. We both decided to order two separate pastas, so we could each get a sense of the two. I ordered a rabbit ragu gnocchetti, which was topped which shredded cheese. For an entrée we ordered their one of a kind chicken, which was topped with just the right amount of salt to compliment the chicken. While I could not possibly fit another piece of food into my mouth, as soon as my eyes caught a glimpse of the dessert menu, my mouth was drooling. The meal was just a wonderful experience, and I plan to bring friends and family there as soon as I can. I decided to give Bucato a 9/10 on the Connor Scale, which is the highest score thus far. Bucato has satisfied my stomach beyond my expectations.
