A comfortable and classic dining experience in downtown Visalia. The food is always on point. Do not pass up the pizza. They got that brick oven flavor. They also have sweet potato fries! The food is always consistently fantastic and the customer service is phenomenal. These folks believe excellence is an attitude and bring that level of hospitality from beginning to end. You won't find a better dining experience around these parts! read more

If I could give this 2.5-3 stars, that would feel more accurate. This review is mainly about the quinoa kale salad. The menu made it sound really good, but honestly, I could have made a much better version at home for around $4 instead of $22. The salad is loaded with crispy fried onions, which completely overpower everything else. I was especially looking forward to the protein since the salad is advertised as high in protein, but it only had a few pieces of cold blackened chicken, barely any quinoa, maybe one bacon bit, very minimal walnuts, and the apple shreds were bland and forgettable. I was expecting a flavor bomb and instead got mostly kale and fried onions. I would definitely not order this again. If I wasn't with a group of people, I probably would've tried to get a refund for the salad. That said, the steak appetizer was actually very good (also $20). The steak was cooked really well, and I appreciated being able to get a side of barbecue sauce. However, it was also served on a bed of crispy onions, which again felt unnecessary. Overall, the ambiance is lovely and the service staff is very nice, but the food itself is mostly mediocre, with the exception of the steak, which was solid. read more

Good spot for food, nice ambiance. Expensive but it's what you get for how it is. Can't complain elsewhere.

We came in for lunch and the food was delicious. For bevs we ordered strawberry lemonade (5/5). We ordered the tempura asparagus as an appetizer (5/5). The cilantro chile-lime sauce was flavorful. We ordered the a cheese pizza (4/5), grilled chicken sandwich- the chicken was a little dry (4/5), margarita pizza (5/5), spicy chipotle chicken pasta (5/5). The chicken pasta noodle was "the best I've ever tasted" per my Mom. It had "perfect texture". The service was good. The server was quick to refill our drinks. The ambiance is upbeat. Low lighting and sort of an industrial (metal decor). read more

Unfortunately, when you order for pick up they do not include everything you have ordered. 1 thing is understandable but when multiple items are missing and the bags are all sealed up it's beyond frustrating. Ordered last night. Bread was missing and our whole dessert was missing. So I guess if you order and pick it up you've got to be a weirdo and open everything and check it before you leave. I don't understand why checking togo orders isn't a priority. Especially for the price. I should be able to trust that I'm getting what I ordered. read more

A solid 3.5. Food was great. We had extremely large portions and well seasoned. Had plenty to take home. If it was just food this place would have been easily a 4.5. Service was inconsistent. No host at the door to greet us. Server was quick to get our order in and our drinks. Then disappeared after. 2 out of 4 of the appetizer plates were dirty. One even had a piece of food on it. We asked for new plates. We waited a very long time to get the check and boxes. Probably stopped eating 20 to 30 minutes before we easily were checked on. It was getting busy as many large parties were getting in; I don't think they were prepared for a busy night. We've had better service there, so I think it might have been an off night. read more

I had dinner here on my birthday in November and it was absolutely fantastic. I made a reservation, but my husband and I chose the bar top instead. The ambiance is classy yet not too stuffy or upscale. It definitely has that "I want to go out and be in style" vibe. We ordered the dinner for 2 for $120. My goodness, do you get a lot of food! You get one appetizer to share, 2 salads, 2 petite filets with shrimp, mashed potatoes, veggies, and a dessert. Everything was so good! The tempura asparagus were amazing and I don't even like asparagus! The steak was tender and cooked to perfection. The cheesecake really hit the spot. We also ordered some crafted cocktails and a bottle of wine. The service was wonderful. We will definitely be back. read more

Came in for dinner with my husband. The waitress was super nice and gave us honest feedback of what we may or may not like based off of what we told her.

Food is always up to great standards. Chicken picatta is my favorite. Along with their asparagus appetizer. Perfect type of date night with amazing waiters. Great drink options. Our go to's are the old fashion and espresso martini read more

One of our favorite places to go. Me and my husband shared a wedge salad and steak bites. So delicious. I got the pasta carbonara and he got a Hawaiian pizza. Not pictured. The pasta is a little spicy but it's so delicious and creamy. The edamame is a great addition. The Hawaiian pizza is one of the best pizzas. Their crust is so good. Every time we go, it is a 10/10. Staff and hostess are great as well. The vibe is also very nice read more

This was our first time coming here. When we first walked in the host was extremely rude. He asked if we made reservations and my husband said that he didn't know we could make them. He had called the restaurant prior, and they said they didn't take them. The host told us that he "must have called the wrong restaurant" and told us to step aside and wait. When the host brought us to our table, I noticed there was water on my seat so I asked if they could wipe it before I sat down. The host frustrated switched with a different chair and used his hand to wick the water onto the floor. After we were seated it took quite some time for the waitress to come and take our order after waters were given. We order the dinner for two which included an appetizer, entree, and dessert. All of which was phenomenal! We were extremely happy with our food. I was just disappointed in the service. The cherry on top was before we got our dessert, the waitress brought us our check. I had to remind her that the order included dessert. As someone who works in the service industry and understands both sides, it was disheartening. My husband and I don't go out often and we felt rushed. read more

Food was amazing as always. Service was horrible. A slow evening with only 3 other tables and our glass of wine took almost 15 minutes to arrive. Our waitress Sage took our bread plate off the table as we were still eating. And shamelessly enough she rolled her eyes as it was an inconvenience asking for more time to look at the menu. Twice. Where has customer service gone??!! read more

Everything was amazing! Some of the best QUALITY ingredients and best tasting food I have had... not just in Visalia. I was greeted with enthusiasm and professionalism both times, yes I went two days in a row. I would come here for the ambiance and drinks years ago but I don't remember the food being this good. read more

I like the quality of food and drinks. I mostly go there either with my friends for Happy Hour or meeting my colleagues and business partners for lunch. I am an appetizer bird, and I love love their steak skewers. The presentation, flavor, tenderness of meat - I cannot say to die for, but instead to go to Fugazzi again and again and celebrate the joy of life! The quality of cocktails is a story that would need a separate post. read more

This restaurant has lost its appeal. We were a party of 14, all but four people who were at the table agreed their food was not......very good. I ordered the seafood pasta that was served in a pool of lemon juice water, horrible to say the least. I returned the dish and substituted for the beef stroganoff. This dish was just as bad as the first, served in a pool of milky beef broth, the slices of beef were tough as leather which I removed horrible flavor, it required a spoon to attempt to eat the soggy noodle dish. After a few spoonful I refuse to eat anymore. The server was kind enough to remove the charge without me asking, she commented that it appeared the dish was not acceptable, absolutely not. Never again read more

Had dinner there tonight with our family and we really enjoyed it the food it was tasty and we had a great time. The only thing I would change it was around closing time and the cleaning lady was in the restroom cleaning while we were in there and we can smell the chemicals.

I love the ambiance and atmosphere at Fugazzis. It's a great place for a work lunch or to go out with friends. Everything on the menu is delicious! My personal faves are the Pear and Walnut Chicken salad and Thai wrap. The staff a Fugazzis so welcoming and friendly! They have 4clocations to coose from - Visalia, Tulare, Hanford, and Kingsburg. read more

This is for Fugazzi Bistro, I was really in the mood for pasta. Not sure why these orders came out like this; it's not even the correct pasta. Disappointing considering I was in the mood for stuffed Ravioli. The "fusilli was rigatoni as well, with huge semi-cooked chunks of zucchini. Why is there no good Italian in town? read more

Fugazzis is a great place for a date night! Their service is great and the atmosphere is hip and clean. I have gotten their petite filet three times before and I have been so impressed by the cook and flavor every time. However, the food got cold pretty quickly as I was eating it and the vegetables that come on the side of the entrees were lacking flavor. Their drinks are well made, fresh, and decently strong. My favorite is the blood orange margarita. Also the dipping sauce that comes with the complimentary bread is so good! My husband and I will definitely have future date nights here! read more

Fugazzi's is truly reliable and a main stay on Main Street. Even though it's been years since my favorite parmesan fritters have been an option you can't go wrong with their pear and walnut salad or pasta dishes. Even though it's not your traditional comfort food, to me it is. I appreciate the consistency of their menu and service. read more

What a gem! I visited Viselia for a quick work trip. This place was recommended because one person in the group is a vegetarian. It is very plain outside and the inside is very modern with great ambience. The device was very fast and friendly. Our lunch came within 10 minutes! I had the Carbonara. It was creamy, with tasty bites of bacon, and the edamame was a pleasant surprise . My friends all enjoyed their lunch as well. Highly recommend! read more

There are countless times that this restaurant has disappointed me. When a restaurant states that they're open until 9pm but consistently closes early is extremely frustrating and disappointing to say the least. There's not many options in Visalia and being in the downtown area, you'd think that they would be more accommodating. Unfortunately, one too many horrible experiences with this business. I definitely do not recommend. read more

Went in after being told this was a really good place especially for pastas. We went in around 4pm and it was really empty. Waitress was amazing the food on the other hand was not. It was disgusting, being Italian myself I can tell you this food is a fraud. So nasty I will never be going again. Food was lukewarm, the peppers weren't even cut correctly they gave us the entire bottom of a bell pepper. Seems like it quickly cut it and just thrown on the dish. I don't know why it was so rushed when there was only a few people at the bar not even eating. There was barely any pasta in the actual dish it was mostly the sauce, we ordered pasta not sauce with a side of pasta. Pink lemonade was good. There are better places to eat at. read more

I had a nice time at Fugazzis, and I think it's the sort of venue that's appropriate for an impromptu hangout that's not too casual but not too upscale. Service was a little slow but friendly. Bacon wrapped scallops -- tasty, but not the best I've ever had. Presentation was beautiful though! Scallops were a touch on the dry side, and bacon could have been crispier. Pastas -- my favorite of the bunch I tried was the spicy chicken because it had a nice kick to balance out the creaminess. Alfredo was superrrr creamy but quite heavy and a touch too salty. Penne had a nice bite but bordered on undercooked. Crème brûlée cheesecake -- very rich, but couldn't taste much of the crème brûlée. There's a full bar with draft beers as well. I wouldn't be opposed to coming back, but might not be my first pick. read more

Went here for the first time the other weekend and was very happy with the experience. We had a reservation and were immediately seated. It feels nice, without feeling so high end you feel underdressed if you are wearing jeans. Our server was attentive without being intrusive. We started with Moscow Mules (mine was the French Kiss, which I loved!) and the sweet potato waffle fries. I would definitely order those again! Crispy and sweet, with a yummy sauce to go with. You also get complimentary bread that was soft and warm with an oil that went with it well. We got pasta for our mains (I got the carbonara) which were both solid choices. Mine was creamy and seasoned well, although I was surprised it was a bit spicy, since I've never had spicy carbonara. I would def go back though to try some other dishes! Great date night spot! read more

I'll start with usually the food is pretty good and two thirds of our meals were... shrimp wrap and kids pizza, but the special brisket burger wasnt so special unfortunately. The burger came out so dry and when I mentioned it waitress didn't even say sorry or offer a replacement. Had to smother it in a condiment just to add moisture. Wasn't asked at ordering how I prefer the meat and I didn't think about asking which is my fault for sure. To sum it up if this is the regular outcome for the brisket burger I suggest avoiding it lol. That's what I get for ordering a burger at an Italian restaurant I know lol. read more

If i could give this a -zero stars i would..... I grew up in visalia but have not been back in town for a min was linking up with my family and friends apparently there was a lil car show on main street that had just ended as soon as we got downtown so we were going to get a bite !! UNFORTUNATELY LITERALLY this was the only place open so i was like "oh wait we can eat here " I was super excited since it had been a couple years since i was there . I was greeted by a familiar face who also seated us only to find out he is the owner GABE! we sat in ordered the steak appetizer and a dirty martini to start ! I had a young server girl with black hair. by the time the appetizer arrived i was already starving at this point the waitress is going around taking food orders as i take a bite of the food i immediately start gagging and choking i put my hand in my mouth only to pull out a long piece of hair the waitress was literally across the table just watching me continue to gag on this hair and continue to pull it out my mouth literally the hair that wouldn't end !!! there were 6 of us at the table been grossed out ! The waitress watched like it was not the first time she had seen some Sh*+t like this before. Not once was she apologetic or sympathetic !! i was in such shock i said nothing i just was dumbfounded . My drink then arrived we at this point had ordered and received only two drinks and one coke and a cofeee ! No initiation of calling her manager or saying sorry still at this point ( mind you she watched it all go down ) after looking closer at the meat i was even more grossed out it looked boiled and as if it had been refrigerated recooked over and over ! We decided to leave . I was so grossed out and disappointed but decided to at least drink my drink i had been craving with a blue cheese stuffed olive ! While attempting to drink it the waitress began to drop of checks (now with an attitude ) as she tried to charge me for my drink and the appetizer i laughed and kindly asked for the manager while saying " i shouldn't be paying for anything after what just happened she said she forgot to take the appetizer off but she would go get the manager. After she returned she said " oh you're fine !" i was like did ur manager not want to come out ?! in my mind i was thinking at least to say sorry or anything but no nothing !! Literally no one at that table should have had to pay for a $3 soda or coffee and a shitty drink . I was still in shock and tried to drink my drink only to bite into a rotten olive that i immediately spit out ! i was so beyond pissed now ! still i remain calm i let my friends and family exit first so that i may be desecrate ! there was a good amount of people in the restaurant upon exit i asked to speak to the manager i asked two different people before asking a third girl i practically followed them to the back by the third time after waiting eight minutes only to find them standing around like dumb and dumber and I finally asked where is the manager like is he not gonna come out or what I learned that the manager/owner had left though the back door cowardly and disgusting !!! SO SICK AND SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN AS I LEFT I TRIED TO TELL PEOPLE NOT TO EAT THERE I JUST HOPE THEY LISTENED !! NEEDLESS TO SAY IF I HAD MORE TIME TO WAIST IN THAT TOWN I WOULD HAVE CALLED THE NEWS !!! Hopefully the health department can make a trip there soon !! GABE GABE GABE DO BETTER !!!! Enjoy the photos of this gross incident!! OH YES BEFORE I FORGET I GAVE THE HAIR TO THE WAITRESS ON A MENU AND ASKED HER TO GIVE IT TO THE HEAD CHEF SO THAT THEY WERE AWARE!! So also SHAME ON YOU CHEF AT ANY Decent Establishment the CHEF WOULD HAVE AT LEAST CAME OUT TO APOLOGIZE BUT WE ALL KNOW NOW THIS PLACE IS FAR FROM THAT ESPECIALLY AFTER WITNESSING WHAT I SEEN WALKING IN THE BACK !! ILL LEAVE THAT Part OUT TO SPARE You GABE !! The ambiance is also wack looks the same from years ago ! read more

Went for dinner tonight, walked in at 8pm and one of the employees checked to see availability for me. Came back one minute later to say they were finished seating for the night and immediately walked away. She did not give me one more second more to speak to her. It was two hours prior to them closing at 10pm. This is the second bad experience (first time chicken breast ordered was so dry i could not eat it) i have had at this lousy establishment. Thought they deserved a second chance and they struck out. HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND. read more

Fugazzis - Thai Chicken Wrap. - Diners Near Me - Visalia, California

I made a quick weekend trip with family to Visalia to visit a friend. I decided to visit three restaurants while here and Fugazzis was one of them. When I popped open the menu, my first thought was if I was eating at California Pizza Kitchen. They had an eerily similar menu for many of the menu options. While the menu looked similar, the food was quite different and was very delicious. I had the thai chicken pizza which had a nice crispy crust and paired with a terrific sweet sauce. However, I was much more impressed with the Chicken Piccata with linguine that my wife had. This pasta was so so good. The chicken breast was nicely seared and the sauce and noodles seemed to be made on-site. The server was very attentive and the restaurant offered a good selection of drinks to pair with the dishes. We look to forward to visit this place again. read more
