Picked up take out food yesterday and all personnel was wearing a mask, they had 6 feet distance stickers on the floor, looked all good. Until you hear a lot of noice in the back and see about 6-7 people sitting at the bar, clearly drunk and didn't keep distance and no masks, they can just spread the virus around, that may be the reason the numbers of infected people is going up in Tulare County!! I think the bar shouldn't be open when we are still in lockdown, clearly braking the rules there!!! For now I'm not picking food up there anymore!!! read more

Service: Took more than 10 minutes from the time we walked in to have someone take our drink order. Was never asked at the end if we enjoyed our food Had to request a fork as I was only provided a knife ... one would think they would provide both. Food delivery was slow Waitress was pleasant enough, not rude but not personable. It appeared as if there was a staffing shortage - but yet when walking out, employees sitting at the front desk area were observed. Atmosphere: Large fan in dining room producing excessive noise and an undesirable directional wind vs circulation of air Food Taste: Chicken Tequila Fettuccine- NO FLAVOR !! Presentation was semi promising but lack of flavor in the dish. Adding some pickled jalapeños doesn't cut it. Cauliflower Garlic Chicken Pizza - Could not taste the garlic what so ever !! No flavor !! Crust was gritty tasting. Overall: I would not recommend this establishment as it was today. Should there be improvements in service, atmosphere and the flavor in the food, I would try again. read more

I liked Fugazzi's when it was an Italian restaurant. This reincarnation into an American restaurant not too much. The service was good but I think they sat us in a section that wasn't open yet but not a big deal. Our waiter was very nice and checked in on us often with updates on our meals. The bread they give you is good as always. My meal was meh. I had the tortellini in pesto. I know it's just a cheese ball but that what it tasted like. I think it was ricatta but had no discernable flavor. The pesto wasn't seasoned enough. It definitely did not have enough garlic in it. I may come back again but probably star clear of their pasta offerings. read more

Soooo good ! The picture don't do this place justice ! The flavor is awesome ! Thanks David !

We just had our 60th class reunion at Fagazzis. Tulare Union High School Class of 1961. We had about 60 guests. They helped make our reunion one of the most pleasurable I have attended. The room was excellent; the food was unbelievably great, the service was the best. Overall it was amazing. We could not have asked for a better place to hold our 60th. We plan on having all of our subsequent events there. I would highly recommend Fagazzis of Tulare to anyone without reservation. Michael Gibson read more

First time here, good food, horrible service. I'll never come back. Really bad service. read more

Went in for Valentines dinner yesterday. For as busy as the place was, service was excellent. Food and drinks were brought out quickly and were delicious! Will definitely be going back. read more

The food is excellent, my problem was the restaurant was way to Full and table's way to close no social distancing I was disappointed because our server was excellent, but I seen another server serving with her nose out of her face mask not the proper way to serve food in the new covid-19 era. read more

If this review was based on food alone... it would probably get a 4 or 5! The steak bite appetizers are delicious, and the Brussel sprouts are awesome too. However... this place has the worst LUNCH service ever! I don't blame the servers... I blame the management. I have been here multiple times for lunch in hopes that it will be better than the last, and it only gets worse and worse. It took almost 10 minutes to get water before we were even asked for dinner orders. When the food came out, about 45 minutes later, most of it was cold. Our server was kind and brought us hot fries to replace the cold ones. There were about 7 tables and a decently full bar, and we only saw ONE server! A man brought out my wine who I assume was the manager, but he was not seen again.... he should have been helping that server! The food is always delicious when brought out hot. I assume that the only issue is lunchtime, because the dinner reviews on here are great! So my advice to customers is to come for dinner. My advice for management is to get a better lunch schedule so your servers aren't slammed and the customer experience is not being compromised. read more

Fugazzis for tacos was much better at the Tulare location. My halibut tacos lacked salt and was really bland. I found the fish dish to be disappointing. I really don't want to travel to Tulare for tacos so I think I will just go to Rubio's Bar and grill for fish tacos in town instead. read more

Great Customer Service. The steaks here are better than Ruth's Chris Steak House In Fresno and I'd say in the United States. When passing through Tulare I always make it a point to eat here and have never been disappointed. read more

Fugazzis catered a wedding we went to and the service was amazing! Kudos to Justin specifically, wish I had him on my team at work! Some of the best service we've had, will definitely check out the actual place sometime!!! read more

This plase sucked last time we were here. Well, guess what, it sucked again!!! Half empty or less, so no excuse for the service or the wait, and that goes for both times. My daughter ordered a salad, it came after everyone had finished most of their food. The menu described it as bbq'd chicken, well it was from the grill, with all sorts of nasty bbq sause all over it. They got my sister's order wrong twice! The girl asked what i wanted to drink, it took her so long to bring it my food showed up no more than 2 minutes after. I was more than 3/4 done before she even asked if I wanted a second. By the time it came, everyone was done eating. I could go on and on... read more

We came to Tulare for grandsons birthday. Took everyone to lunch here. The service was horrible. We have a dairy allergy. None of the bread was dairy free. What Italian place has no sourdough? We ordered Primavera & it came with chicken. Our tea was never refilled. Service was slow. Server disappeared for extended stretches. She forgot one order completely. Not Vegetarian or Vegan friendly which is unheard of for an Italian establishment. read more

I wish I could rate this place NO Stars! I brought my mother-in-law and wife to this location sat May 11th before mothers day. This is my mother-in-law's favorite place to eat and it was a first time for all of us at this location. Wait was quoted 10-15mins, actually 30minutes to be seated. Drinks took 10minutes plus and at one point I had to go to the bar to pick up our drinks. Appetizers did not come out for 30minutes CHICKEN WAS RAW! We ordered the breaded chicken appetizer and each piece was horribly raw after taking 30mins to come out! Children's chicken meal was ok but the veggies were cooked and presented in a pool of oil! The chicken alfredo pasta was horrible- when it arrived it was clear it had spent much time under a heat lamp by the waxy look and the sauce was watered down and near flavorless, and the food barely warm. Salads were good, but then again that's hard to mess up. The servers appeared to be working hard though I was never allowed to speak to a manager or owner regarding the horrible service and food! I welcome any manager or owner to contact me since I was not allowed to at that location. I was told the manager that was on was the other server and she was busy. With only two servers, no hostess, no one working the bar, and a bus boy that I think was cooking too, I'm shocked there was no manager on a mother's day weekend! I have no interest to return to this location or any other! , niece, read more

Only because I had to give a start but second time here service is horrible waited forever for food and drinks when food arrived was cold party of 8 they offered to put in microwave none of food was brought out at same time read more

The food is always delicious and well prepared. Their presentation is amazing. My favorites.. portabella mushroom sandwich.&. the steaks are the bomb. Service is consistently exceptional. The entire staff is amazing and always friendly. Highly recommend this restaurant if you are at in tulare.. prices are reasonable and all the appetizers are yummy. read more

Really cute/trendy place. I went for lunch . Portion was a good size. I got a Halibut wrap I think. I only finished half. Staff was friendly and music fit the setting. Decor is a bit darker, not much natural light but that's what makes it cool I think. There's a bar you can sit at as well. read more

Parmesan fritters.... GREAT appetizer! Margarita pizza was very good and the service was excellent. We're not from the area, but had been to the Visalia location before. Felt so lucky to find this when we pulled off hwy-99 for a rest stop. Since I don't see this information in Yelp yet, I'll add that their menu is online. Good selection of pizzas, pastas and some pricier specialties. I thought it was very reasonably priced for a sit down restaurant. read more

Just had the pear and walnut salad at Fugazzis and as usual it was amazing. Our waiter Alec was incredible!! read more

The bread and dipping sauce that is complimentary is INCREDIBLE. Highly recommend the roasted garlic appetizer that comes with Brie cheese, apples, candied walnuts, and toasted bread. Mmmm! Great service, delicious food. read more

It's right around the corner & figured I'd give it a shot. It was ok but I wasn't impressed. Service was, Eh. Not too busy but still waited awhile for service after we were sat down. Not sure I'll be back. La Piazza & Belle Notte are much better read more

Fugazzis - New American Near Me - Tulare, California

See all

Wanted to take my dad here for dinner before heading back to the east coast and figured, we had a great experience a few years back so let's try this again! Well, while the food was delicious and the drinks (when we finally received them) the service doesn't match the quality of the food AT ALL. I ordered the rack of lamb which were cooked beautifully! The meat was tender and honestly felt like it could melt in your mouth! But this review is really about the before and the after.. Once we were seated, it took almost 15 minutes before our actual server came to greet us. Now, I've worked in the service industry and know that you should touch the table at least 2-5 minutes (5 if you're slammed) to acknowledge your guests. So when he decided to take our drink orders, the bread was brought out to us, which was expected. Once the bread was received, 10 minutes following that, the server comes to ask if we were ready to order, and I ask, well I think we'd like to have our drinks first if that's okay.. and the server completely panicked in a bad way. Instead of being polite about it and assuring us that there is a delay, he says "Yes I know your drinks are still being made and the bar has been backed up all night so it's coming". So my next thought is, if Im eating this hard dry bread while waiting, what the hell am I supposed to wash it down with because clearly our drinks are delayed and bringing us water just didn't click for the kid.. ANYHOW, once we finally receive everything, he goes MIA for too long. Not to mention, while we're dining, the girl comes out with a vacuum as we're finishing our dinner. As I said, the quality of food is completely different from the service. In an establishment as such, being that Tulare truly doesn't have any other restaurants around with that quality of food, you'd ensure that the experience is top notch through and through. Oh well, when I come back from GA again, I'll be glad to spend money elsewhere. read more

Just decent food for a high price. Place is so cold and dark. I like it dark, though. Service: good, waitresses are pleasant, keeps the water glasses full. At least this is one of the better restaurants in town that offers something other than tacos and burritos. read more

First time, saw many mixed reviews on service, great service and great food. Seated next a party of 20 and still had great service. Good variety with fresh meals and good favor. read more

Great experience every time! They customize our appetizers when we have large parties! read more

This is the best restaurant in Tulare. The service is 10/10 and the cooks really take pride in their food. The manager runs a great team and the read more

I had came in & asked Kiarah what plate she would recommend. She told me the filet mignon .. wow it was amazing.. the steak was cooked to perfection & I got two choices of amazing sauces!! Please get this when visiting here!!! Highly recommend! read more

First time eating here. Was a very good experience overall. Industrial feel with open ceiling and exposed pipes and noisy even with only a few people there at 4:30 was the worst I can say. The food was delicious. They know sauce! We had the Spaghetti and meatballs and Fettuccine with spinach and red pepper sauce with blackened chicken all delicious The bread and dipping sauce served with it was superb. read more

A place that I wouldn't recommend is a place in Tulare called Fugazzis. They have a variety of foods that I've heard aren't so good. I decided to try it one day and got their pizza and it did not taste good. It had a load of sauce all over and it for some reason tasted very salty. I have not gone back and I most likely never will. read more

This used to be a safe bet in Tulare. Lately, their service has been terrible and the food is honestly not that good anymore. When you stand at the counter for 10 minutes just waiting to be acknowledged much less seated, it's disappointing. Especially since the restaurant was basically empty and there were two men working at the computer feet from us and THEY NEVER ACKNOWLEDGED our presence. We finally left. I hope the owner reads these reviews. Management is a problem read more

This restaurant has always had well prepared food. Especially today! I ordered the portabella mushroom appetizer.....this was amazing! It was a beautiful prepared plate of food.. It comes with so many vegetables. Fresh whole mushroom, topped with sun dried tomatoes, artichoke, zucchini, feta cheese and amazing vinegrette sauce. I added brussel sprouts too, which were also tasty. It was perfect for what I was looking for. (It's a meal) Everything else on the table looked tasty as well. I love the bread and dip. I'll be back for more. I love this place! read more

The food is really good. However, they have some of the worst service I've ever experienced. It doesn't matter how busy they are. You could be the only table in the place and you'll still get ignored. We were seated immediately, given water a few minutes later, and then completely ignored for 30 minutes. 2 different servers walked by us to assist the table in front of us and the table behind us, but no one ever stopped to ask for our drink order, give us bread, or take our order. I don't understand it. I get it, you're slightly busy. But literally dropping by the table to say hey sorry, were running a bit behind but we'll be with you shortly can't be that hard? No one even gave us a second glance. We finally had to just walk out. Tulare get it together. read more

This restaurant is on a weird location. It's part of a gym. But the food and wine were excellent. Try the fried Brussels

Such amazing service, said no one ever. Call in order took longer then staying to eat. So unprofessional. May need to work on getting orders out quicker instead of joking around in the kitchen. Disappointed. read more

The food like always was delicious we had our company party here, this was our second year here and I felt neglected personally. They catered to everyone so generously. They failed to bring mine and my boyfriends drink. The food was delicious, but the service was shit. Doesn't mean much if they can't do a simple task like bring a drink. Fugazzi needs more help especially when hosting a company party. read more

If I could give no stars I would. Recently had visited Tulare to see my family and had heard about the Visalia location with plenty of great reviews. Our server was ALE, who was very rude to us . She had yelled at my 80 year old aunt saying how she needs to speak up when ordering. Just very rude in general while taking our orders. It was my sisters birthday and we had mentioned that and she rudely replied "well I'm not going to sing, i don't sing but we do give you a cheesecake" . Sad to say I had a lot of high expectations of this restaurant but will definitely not be returning. Hopefully better luck next time at Visalias location . read more
