Luigi's is a landmark restaurant in Bakersfield. It's a place where people come to eat, drink, and…read morecelebrate. It's always busy, and always bustling with people having a good time. What can I say that hasn't already been said? If you've never been there, then just go! You might have to wait to get in, but it's worth it. One of my favorites on their menu is The Luigi's Wedge Salad. A small one is a great bargain, and it's not exactly small. It's the perfect combination of lettuce, Prosciutto, onions, avocado, and cherry tomatoes in a delicious creamy basil salad dressing. Make sure and ask to have it chopped, and get a side order of pickled tongue to top it all off. It's a combination made in heaven. The Luigi sandwich is also another real favorite. Match it with a Peroni on tap, and just sit back and enjoy life. The patio out back is a great place to dine too. Every single person who works there is as nice as can be, and the deli next door is stocked with lots of fine foods and wine, and they have an excellent selection of various types of bleu cheese. Needless to say, Luigi's is a real fave.

They have charm, history and timeless menu options that'll surely fill up any hungry tummy. All the food comes in large quantities so you'll probably have leftovers! And its just as great next day :) We had a variety of things and shared. Definitely 10/10 for ambiance, food, and exceptional service!! **Ask about the secret menu** Everything here was delicious! The only downside to my experience here is the wait. Make sure to calculate time when visiting Luigi's and their hours! For reference, I came for the first time with a group of 6, no reservation, and waited almost an hour to be sat. Still was worth the wait and I'd come back any day! :)

I didn't take any photos of them before, but please take my word for it.

I've picked up a few cuts of meat here and each time the staff has been very friendly. Today, I picked up a steak and asked for some pointers. The gentleman (I wish I got his name) was friendly and knowledgeable. About a week ago, I picked up some of their marinated chicken breast. I believe one was a garlic and herb and the other was their signature marinade. The garlic and herb was very nice and could easily be paired with any green vegetable. I asked about their signature marinade to get an idea of flavors and they stated it was like a Mexican polo flavor. I made it with some white rice and it worked out really well. The chicken breasts were so thick! You could easily filet them and double your amount. They also didn't appear to have the white lines that I see in the supermarket chicken breasts. I've read those are due to hormones in the chickens. Is it true? I don't know. They have a nice variety of cuts and if you like sausage, they have several flavors! Definitely worth checking out. The shop isn't very big but they have pretty much all the basics you would need if you're planning a BBQ or a simple meal for you and your family. Overall, the shop is clean and tidy. This is no fault of theirs, but whoever designed that parking lot, well, lets just say they didn't consider larger trucks driving through. The parking lot layout for that entire area is just wonky.

They are mostly an organic,…read morenatural type store, so think sorta whole foods, but maybe a little smaller, and possibly a little more expensive since they are not a national chain, but I was still able to find good value in many items. They also have a loyalty program. They do have pretty much everything you might need for a 3 day stay. I personally liked that they had an array of vegan friendly foods (while not vegan, I sometimes do like to do 1-2 days of "clean" eating when I'm traveling). They also have a hot bar and a salad bar along with a deli. I appreciate that they have a wide variety of food, and on the hot bar they do change it up daily. The staff is very friendly and will definitely help point you in the right direction if you can't find something. Its a place I could see visiting over and over when I'm in town.
