" By the Bucket is unique in that they offer a combination of delicious Italian food with a cozy, family-run atmosphere that makes you feel at home. I visited a couple of weekends ago, and I was not disappointed at all. We had the garlic bread as an appetizer, which was a burst of flavor and the pasta was cooked beautifully. I also loved that the owner took the time to chat with us while waiting. It's these personal touches that make a restaurant stand out. " (*Curated Review*)

" I don't think I can say enough good things about By the Bucket! I ordered the spaghetti and meatballs, and my family couldn't get enough.

If you want delicious Italian food that you can take home, this is the place to go. Can't wait to come back and try new things! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a fantastic find! I popped into By the Bucket on a whim, and I'm certain I found my new favorite pasta joint! The authenticity of the dishes is evident, and the flavors are spot on. We tried the meatball sub and the bucket of spaghetti, and both were gone in moments. You can tell they put a lot of care into their ingredients and recipes. In addition, the staff was warm, friendly, and made us feel right at home. Don't let the takeout-only format deter you; good food is worth it no matter where you eat it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was a bit skeptical at first, thinking it might just be another run-of-the-mill takeout place. But By the Bucket truly surprised me! The food is fresh, flavorful, and feels homemade. Their garlic bread deserves a special mention—absolutely the best I've had! The staff was also very friendly and genuinely seemed to care about our dining experience. I'll definitely be back; I want to try everything on the menu! " (*Curated Review*)
