We spent several days in Bakersfield and loved it. We wanted to have one last meal there so this…read moretime we went with Italian at Uricchio's Trattoria. We loved it so much, not only did we dine there, we ordered a bunch of food to go and drove it home to heat up and eat the next day. The next day food was just as great as when we ate there. It just has wonderful dishes. Founder by Nick Uricchio, and his son Steve they opened Uricchio's Trattoria, clearly a family affair. Sadly, Nick died some time ago. He was the nicest guy and always had a smile on his face. His nick name was Papa Nick. He always said hello to the customers and was just a doll. Go in his honor. It is just as great as when Nick was there. Steve is usually there to greet you and he is wonderful. Uricchio's Trattoria offers a great selection of appetizers, soups (a must) and entrees to satisfy anyone. They have fresh seasonal dishes prepared with care from Executive Chef Raphael Hernandez who has been there forever I think. Parking is easy. Make a reservation, you want to do that. It gets crowded. We have been there without one before and loved sitting at the bar and eating. Anything with shrimp is great. All of their pastas are great. We loved their spaghetti and meat balls. Their vegetables are made right. They don't consider it something just to toss on your plate. They are al dente and so great. Their Linguini pasta with shrimp, scallops, clams and mussels in a tomato basil marinara sauce is my favorite and they have the best salads and desserts. It is a must stop in Bakersfield. The place is beautiful.

Went on a Thursday, without reservations. We were there early and enjoyed a FANTASTIC bar…read moreexperience with George (the bartender). Seated for dinner with 90 minutes to spare before our show. Waited an hour for our food because they were understaffed. The food was spectacular, and our waitress (Micah) worked so hard for us. We were really pushed, but the manager (Clair) took such good care of us. Food arrived 5 minutes before we had to leave, but it was so tasty! Leftovers were better the next day. I give it 5 stars because of the overall experience. Great cocktails, great service, spectacular food. Definitely will go back again and again.

I typically go to Luigi's for an evening event. Last week, I took the time to trek downtown to have…read morelunch with friends. It was great. There was entirely too much food, and it was all delicious. Thankfully, I decided to share the Thursday special sandwich. That was the perfect amount. The salads were fresh and all the ingredients were just the right combinations and great flavor. A reservation is definitely the way to go. We had an 11am reservation when they first open for lunch. We had a wonderful table on the patio on a great day. John took very good care of us and kept everything straight. It was impressive! We enjoyed a wonderful lunch and time together. Luigi offers amazing food and helps create memories!

Luigis is one of those establishments that not only lets their food speak for itself, but has a…read moremenu that speaks wonders and has you desiring to have an appetite that would allow you to explore the entire menu. Luigis has that old school feel and allows you to experience either their indoor dining hall or their backdoor outdoor patio. My absolute fave dish that I had was their pasta purse dish which had truffle in these little ravioli purses. Filled with ricotta & black truffles, I could not get over the savory flavor that had your taste buds running wild. Throw in their brown butter sage sauce with parmigiano reggiano, and you are served a meal worthy of any award. Their bolognese sauce was so delicious and had the right amount of meat and sauce for their pasta dish. Having a glass of white wine with my meal, it was truly one of my favorite meals I've had in quite some time.

Pyrenees bread never goes unnoticed and is welcomed to my presence with glee. The lunch menu offered a few things that sounded amazing (looking at you, bruschetta) but I settled on a spinach salad with fennel, fruit, and goat cheese topped with a tangy cilantro dressing. The chicken was seasoned nicely and the salad was a delight. My friend ordered the penne pasta with butter garlic sauce, also with chicken. Of course I had some her plate and it was nicely seasoned and tasty but not unforgettable. I am glad to have finally come here, but thought my lunch was pretty expensive compared to what I usually pay for a one diner situation.

The food is amazing! I got the Italian Trio (it's a lot of food!) and was so happy because I…read moreenjoyed all three dishes, though I took a lot home. Their lasagna is to die for, the bolognese will make you cry tears of joy. The chicken Parmesan was tender and the marinara tasted so fresh. Then the fettuccine Alfredo was the highlight of the meal for me, it was soooo creamy and cheesy and the noodles were perfect. After sampling everything, the fettuccine was what I ended up finishing in the restaurant.The other party members ordered a shrimp scampi with gluten free noodles and the sauce was rich and tasty. We also ordered a child's pepperoni pizza that tasted amazing with the marinara and seemed like it was wood fired. Our waitress was friendly and kind, and also very prompt, which we appreciated. We sat in a booth and enjoyed the ambiance, everyone in the dining room was chatting and having a good time. Will definitely be back!

I went with friends for dinner. There's plenty of parking in the plaza it's located in. The nicely…read moredecorated interior is comfortable and quiet; conversations from other tables do not echo off the walls. Our server was a pleasant young fellow and mostly took good care of our table, although I did order an iced tea that never came, which I completely forgot about until the end of the dinner, but it wasn't on the bill. The menu has many options; I decided on the gnocchi. After some delicious, pillowy-soft bread and a lackluster salad, my dish arrived. The potato dumpling pasta was perfectly made and the meat sauce was very tasty. I usually fill up quickly with pasta and this was no exception. I wasn't quite able to finish the entire dish although I enjoyed every bite I had. Definitely a great choice for Italian food in Bakersfield.

Dakota is such a friendly guy and his service is spot on. I…read moreordered the Barramundi special today. It's part of their rotation of specials, but I wish it was a permanent item on their menu! A layer of Al dente capellini covered in sautéed spinach is the bed for the Barramundi, a divine tangy lemony caper sauce with a confetti of diced tomatoes and artichoke leaves tops the fish. They have an Old school vibe. Cloth covered tables. Cloth napkins, dimmed lights but not dark. Old school music in the background. Pet peeve! No reflection on the restaurant. Please people don't wear so much fragrance in a restaurant that everyone smells you as you walk by. A couple was seated right next to me and I had to stop eating and take my meal home because I couldn't taste or smell my splendid meal. I only stayed a little longer to finish my glass of Pino. Even with my nose in the glass I could still smell her fragrance!

We were headed home and stopped in for a bite to eat. We ordered the Caesar Salad, Fettuccine…read moreCarbonara, and Meat Lasagna. The Caesar salad is exceptional with house-made dressing and a generous amount of shaved Parm. The Fettuccine Carbonara though not a true traditional carbonara due to the use of cream as a stabilizer and prosciutto rather than guanciale, is delicious as well. The lasagna was delicious and kept us going back for more until we had no room left after consuming the table bread. The staff is friendly, attentive, and accommodating along with an inviting yet buttoned atmosphere. The restaurant is clean and dimly like t with each table fitted with a lamp for dining. The restrooms are clean as well. The bad reviews here are not a reflection of our experience and we will return again when we're in the area.

We came here the other night during a weekday and tried their DIY pasta special…read more The server recommend we try the pesto mixed with the alfredo, so we took his word and yup he wasn't messin around! That combination was fire. We ordered one with shrimp and penne, and the other with chicken and linguine. I also upgraded my adult beverage to a non-alcoholic drink, the raspberry no-jito to be specific ~ He offered to change up the fruit but I love raspberries so I ordered it as is. It actually contains zero proof spirits, so it does sort of taste like alcohol vs just some juice mixed with soda. It was actually refreshing so I'd be down to try the other flavors on the next visit. Service was super quick, friendly vibes all around, restroom was clean, and the restaurant noise levels were good enough for us to still have a convo. My only suggestion would be to grill those big ol shrimp at a higher temperature, the charred flavor would have really turned that pasta into an A plus. Other than that, we had a cool experience and we'll be back!

You can tell this place has a strong local following, and after eating here, it makes sense why. The food was straight up delicious. Everything came out fresh, hot, and full of flavor. You can taste the quality in every bite, nothing felt rushed or thrown together. Definitely one of those spots where you leave full and already thinking about what you're ordering next time. Service was excellent. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made sure we were taken care of the whole time without being over the top. That kind of service always stands out. Overall, great food, great service, and a solid atmosphere. Me and the family will definitely be coming back soon.
