" 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*)
