Unbelievable total frauds all the way down to their muddled strawberry lemon drops tried to give us a wedge salad with all romaine lettuce and our appetizer came after our food and our salad and drinks horrible service 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

Fugazzis - French Kiss Moscow Mule - Diners Near Me - Visalia, California

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

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

Had the Thai Chicken Wrap and it was excellent! Our waitress Yarelli was amazing and gave exceptional service to our family. The interior was very nice. This place is definitely a staple in Visalia. read more

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

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 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

This is a solid place if you want a bit of variety in downtown Visalia. There's plenty to choose between pasta, pizza, appetizers. I had the chicken tequila pasta, it was a unique flavor. I loved the coconut shrimp but it's only 4 pieces so don't expect much for the appetizer size. The margarita pizza was delicious! Service was great! read more

Incredible drinks, prices, service and food! Found my new spot Lavender lemon drop that makes you keep ordering more! Personally I ordered the Chicken Chopped Thai Salad and it never fails. Amazing flavor, huge portion and perfect price point! Thank you for an incredible dining experience! 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

Great Italian Resturant located in downtown Visalia! Parking located on the street, if you can find a spot.... If not there are free parking lots a block or two away.... Only a five minute walk. Good idea to make reservations if it's on the weekend! The service was good . They bring you delicious bread and oil while your waiting for your meal; I could of gotten full off this easily. We ordered the bacon wrapped scallops as an appetizer; omg they were amazing! Scallops so delicate ; the bacon added a nice crispy texture. Bacon and scallops go so well together. I ordered the fettuccine and spinach pasta with blackened shrimp as my entree... so freaking good. Plenty of shrimp ; definitely not skimpy. The sauce was amazing! The whole meal was so good; I could of licked my plate after....very filling. My other half ordered the chicken tequila fettuccine with also shrimp. He said it was good. It had jalapeños , but wasn't that spicy. He said it was different than your typical fettuccine. All in all a good meal! The atmosphere is very chill here. Everyone just relaxing having drinks and dinner. read more

Tried this place out for my mother in laws birthday, and was pleasantly surprised! I saw mixed reviews, but came in with an open mind. I have to say the filet mignon was delicious! My husband and I had the Fugazzis intimate dinner for two it was a lot of food! It started off with the a sampler appetizer. My favorite from the sampler was the sweet potato fries paired with what I believe was cilantro aioli was so good! We were both served a cesar salad each, and then came the filet. It was very tender perfectly cooked medium. The filet came with a side of pasta that had a light butter sauce, veggies, and grilled shrimp. Last but not least we got dessert, and it was delicious amazing cheesecake to share. All this food only $77. For the quality of food this was a steal for me the filet alone is around $30. Pretty sad I didn't snap a photo, but I just couldn't wait to dig in! This is a great date night place, or great place to celebrate birthdays, anniversary's etc. The inside is very nice and upscale looking. read more

We got the steak appetizer and it was delicious. The blue cheese and fried onion combo was so good. Each sauce served with it was also perfect. We then got the tomahawk which was a special item and it was cooked perfectly. I also got the carbonara and the flavors were delicious with the perfect amount of sauce. I got the blood orange margarita which was also perfect! read more

This place was good. We had a big party of about 8 and they all loved their meals. I went ahead with the Top Sirloin. I will say this is my first time having this steak with this flavor so I do believe with this order you may have to have the pallet for it. But it is good. Everything was served hot and cooked as requested. The only issue that we had here was two of the guests which included me did not get the dessert we requested when we wanted it. The Waitress had to be reminded. But I do not ping that on them to hard for it was a busy day and we were a pretty big table. I am confident that they will be better in the future on that regard after seeing thus review. Customers please enjoy this place for it is worth the stop. read more

For happy hour only. 3-6pm and yes on the weekends as well. AMAZING lemon drops. The bar lounge area is nice. Good happy hour bites as well. The waitress and bartenders are always nice. Service always good. Never had an issue. Only go for happy hour :) read more

Wow, sadly i wanted to leave an amazing review however I am not able to do so because the service was way below average. Late lunch only 3 other tables and initially the waitress Alli (?) wrote down the wrong salad with no check-in I had to waive her down to get the correct order. When that arrived, we ate without one check-in to see if it was good, no refill requests.. just the bill when she was waived down again. Additionally, we did not get asked if we wanted bread and sauce, I guess I'm suppose to ask??? How I'm I suppose to know that unless it's offered to me? When I asked, I was told I'm suppose to ask.. and it still was not offered! Mike - I worked here many years ago with Michele and I know you've had better service.. I brought my mom here for her birthday and was sadly disappointed by the service/experience. 2 stars because I know ownership wants better! Is it you Gabe or Mike? Guys- 3.5 stars in YELP is bad!!! read more

Nice ambiance, we went in a weekday for an early dinner so we got a table right away. Sebastian was our server and he was great. Super friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. As for the food, we ordered the shrimp tacos, the ribeye and the artichoke vegetable pizza but added sausage. The tacos and the rib eye were great but the pizza was awful. Tasted like cheap frozen pizza and crust wasn't cooked very well. Great cocktails and wine. I would come back but wouldn't order the pizza again read more

Just had a BDAY lunch there...Dede was our server...#THEBESTOFTHEBEST.....truly engaging and on her game....THANK U SO MUCH DEDE!

Decided to stop in here while visiting Visalia, and we can honestly say we weren't disappointed. The restaurant is a bit more upscale for sure, but we were seated quickly by the host. Service was okay- our waiter seemed to be preoccupied but it wasn't bad. The food was good- we didn't get any pictures, we were just caught in conversation. We ordered the spicy chicken pasta (and it is spicy, so beware), the carbonara (which was more like fettuccine but delicious), the fettuccine (which wasn't like fettuccine but still yummy and flavors were great) as well as a classic pepperoni pizza as an appetizer. As mentioned, everything tasted delicious. For dessert we ordered the xango (cinnamon sugar fried pastry stuffed with cheesecake filling and topped with vanilla ice cream) and the mud puddle chocolate cake (more like lava cake with ice cream). We enjoyed the food, the restaurant was beautiful and we would go back if we were in the area again. read more

We dined here over 1 Year ago when we were in the area. I recall being seated right away, good appetizers, delicious dessert, and customer service was on point. Their Creme Brûlée dessert is a must try! Wish they had Doordash/UberEats for Fugazzis in our area. read more

If I could give more stars I would. So yummy. I can't wait to go back again! We had the scallops app and a couple of pasta dishes

Fugazzis has been our long time dinner place downtown Visalia. It continues to offer great value, excellent taste and consistency. We stopped by tonight and sat at the bar. The drinks are on par with anyplace you'd try. Our bartender even customized a drink to our idea. They have several excellent wines available by the glass including Justin and Rombauer. We had apps. Brussels sprouts and scallops are delicious. If you're in Visalia give them a try. read more

I paid extra for shrimp to be added to my pasta and it did not have one single shrimp in it. All they did was lie and say they did put the shrimp in it. I guess the DoorDash driver ate the shrimp out of my pasta? I also ordered the bread and sauce appetizer and the sauce was spilled all inside of the container all over the bread. Doordash refused to refund me and so did the restaurant. read more

COVID-19 phase: All of the workers are masked. This place has a different set up. I ordered on the GrubHub app through Yelp. It was super easy! TY Yelp! I ordered the California Bistro sandwich and they have a place where you can put notes in and I put no mayo and to please add jalapenos. I paid for through the app and went to go get it a few minutes later. I walked into the restaurant and I told a worker I made an order and was there to pick it up, The workers were very nice and showed me that I needed to go to the side of the restaurant. They have a specific place for pick up orders. I went there and a worker came up to me and asked my name. I gave it and my order was brought. The worker was very nice and wished me a good day as well. OMG! The sandwich was amazingly delicious! Tender meat and fresh veggies! Great jalapeños! It also came with a fresh side salad that tasted really delicious too! It's a big amount! Half was plenty! You get an extra meal or you can share! Outstanding service and delicious food! Highly recommended! They deserve every star! read more

Went there for my birthday dinner last week. They accommodated our large party of 11, and the waitress who took care of dinner service was great. We did have to wait some time for our first round of drinks, but it's probably because they had limited help (we saw only one bar tender when we arrived). Drinks are always impressive and delicious. On another note, a few of us arrived about 15 minutes prior to their happy hour ending and our reservation set for 6. At the time, we went and asked for a drink at the bar. The bar tender made it a point to say we could only qualify for happy hour service if we were either at the bar or in their lounge area (which, we clearly were). We felt like we were inconveniencing her, and did not feel exactly welcomed. When our food arrived, my chicken was dry and a few dishes were heavily salted. Overall, we were not impressed with the food. I've always loved Fugazzi's, but this was not the best visit and hope it was just an off-night. It's just disappointing when you are prepared to pay a little more for outstanding food quality and service for it to fall short. read more

Fugazzis - 6oz filet with "prawns" - Diners Near Me - Visalia, California

Idk why my company always chooses to have work-related things here lol. The food is okay. It's not horrible but is also far from incredible. The appetizers are more tolerable than the meals themselves. Everyone raves about this place. I've been here a few times and only go cause my work and being a good sport. Other than that I'd never go on my own. I could be a one off. But I just don't understand the hype. read more

Met a friend here for lunch while visiting Visalia. They have outdoor seating available due to Covid, which was actually nice to sit outside and lunch. We picked the table to sit at and were greeted by our waiter with menus. It took him awhile to return back with water and take our order. Once he took our order he brought us fresh slices of bread with their house butter. We ordered the bacon wrapped scallops which were to die for and just melted in your mouth. We also ordered the steak Jalapeno popper salad which had no lettuce but nicely sliced pieces of cucumber marinated in what seemed like lime juice and oil. soo good and refreshing for a hot summer. Overall, we were happy with the food we ordered but were sadly disappointed with the customer service. Once we received our meals, the waiter forgot about us and re-filling our drinks. I almost choked on the steak and couldn't water it down because well I had no water. There are several Fugazzi locations throughout the central valley. Metered Street parking is available throughout the downtown area. read more

The food is over priced and the service is lack luster. The Manager Gabriel is a coward, wouldn't come to our table or help server but once we were leaving he started trying to talk to us. Mind you we were the only customers in the building at 3:30, and soon as I sat down I asked if I could order. Had just finish a 10 hour shift and was ready to go home but I waited patiently as the server moved at a snail's pace. I won't ever return to eat there read more

For the most part, the food is great. Steaks are cooked perfectly. Just wish they had more options on vegetables for people on low carb or Keto. This last time I tried the Filet and Prawns , what I got was a perfectly cooked filet and 3 shrimp. Not Prawns.. so that is misleading. They don't have any low carb drinks. No zero sugar drinks at all. Which is kind of sad if you think how many people are low carb or Keto and they have no options. All in all the food is good, staff is very friendly, atmosphere is nice. Happy Hour is until 6. Just an FYI read more

I stopped by with a work associate right before 9pm dinner cut off. We wanted a lite bite so we ordered from the appetizer menu. I had the Steak Bites and the Fugazzis Dip. The dip was good but the Steak Bites were delicious. Tender with incredible flavor. Not too often do you find a gourmet appetizer selection instead of a fried selection. Would have given them 5 stars but I found s earwig floating in the bottom of my vodka tonic. read more

Great Italian foods with good quality ingredients. Chicken piccata was excellent. The beef stroganoff was not that I expected; not the classic or traditional. They used tomato instead which altered the real flavor of the stroganoff. The truffle fries were good as well except that they put a lot of salt so I suggest before ordering, to request not to add too much. Overall, I will come back and try other pastas. read more

Went here for pick up and they forgot my salad. Went back got in line, when I got to the register I told the guy they forgot my salad and he said no problem. He walked over to the back where I could clearly see him and dipped his unwashed hands in the salad bucket and put it in the to go container and walked back and handed it to me!!!! After he was handling cash and the register right before!!!!!!!! Ugh!!!! I went and told the manager and he "put my $$ back on my card" which he never did!!!! Horrible nasty place!!!!! Never eating here again!!!!!! read more

Made a reservation for 5pm originally, had to call to say we needed our scheduled time for 6pm instead and was helped by a friendly man over the phone. Showed up and we were seated promptly. A young gal took our drink orders and instead of my Georgia Peach I was given a Pom-marita. No prob since it was yummy. They did being out the Georgia Peach drink and it was not too chilled. On to the food, we ordered the Brussels sprouts appetizer and then ordered the Shrimp Louisiana and Al Pasta Tortellini. I took a bite of my Louisiana shrimp and almost choked with all of the "blackened" seasoning this shrimp had. The noodles were cooked too long and desperately needed salt! We had to ask for S&P just to make it bearable. My husband bit into one of his shrimps and said it tasted "off" and not fully cooked. He was not well after leaving this place. It was our sons birthday and this was his place of choice. I don't remember ever being let down at Fugazzi's like this. I'm not sure what has happened - but the food was less than mediocre and cannot bear paying another $120 bill for this. read more
