Came here the other day with family and the food here is absolutely delicious! I definitely recommend the basque cheesecake after your meal! 10/10!!!

SHRIMP PESTO ALFREDO PENNE PASTA
Juliet G.

We came here the other night during a weekday and tried their DIY pasta special. 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!

I was on a business trip and I came upon this place. Wonderful vibe and the food that exceeded my expectations. Wonderful value and a great way to meet Bakersfield.

Steak Frites & Chicken Pot Pie
Gabby G.

Been coming here for some years now, always enjoy the food (can you tell what I like). Steak frites & chicken parm are always my go to, their sausage bread & caesar salad are also some of my favorites, you really can't go wrong with anything. Would also recommend coming earlier to grab a booth & some food & drinks to hangout the rest of the night, it can get pretty busy some nights. Summer made me a bomb michi & I also love their palomas!

It was a pleasant surprise to see the changes made at Sandrini's. The last time I had been here was 12 years ago during my wild 20s when the thing to do was bar hop. We gathered here for a friends birthday dinner and we were immediately greeted by our Server Damian who went above and beyond to help us put a couple tables together for what we expected to be a large group. Though not everyone showed up, Damian was patient thru ought the night, checking in on us, getting our drink orders first and then our food. We each chose something different off the Menu. A variety of wings, cheese curds, garlic parm fries and chorizo sliders. Everything was so delicious! Perfect way to get these near 40yr. Olds started for a relived night out on the town! I will definitely be coming back to to try their other dishes and enjoy this place a bit more at a slower pace.

Paloma and vodka cranberry
katey a.

It's downstairs area which I think is really cool! It can get really loud if you're looking for that type of vibe. It wasn't too overwhelming if you're there a bit earlier. My waitress kept checking up on us, recommended drinks and cleaning up our table. The drinks are pretty strong The mashed potatoes were so good, had so much flavor. My chicken tikka was okay, it wasn't super spicy (just like she told me it wouldn't be) but it was a great version of it, I would've preferred more bread over rice.

Bomb Italian sausage bread must try
Charlie S.

We used to come here a lot many years ago. It's We recently went there after a night of drinking to soak up some alcohol and heard the food was great. Let me tell you their food now is amazing. Specially after a night of drinking, it was a little awkward being in my 40s and in a place full of 20 somethings but it was just nice to see everybody having a good time no drama but if you want some good late night eats definitely come check this place out. Definitely try the Italian sausage bread so good.

My husband and I did date night there often when we were dating. The owners were so sweet and knew of Me. I moved out of Bakersfield 6 years ago. I was visiting my parents in Bakersfield two weeks ago who had never been to uricchios and I couldn't wait to take them to dinner there! I called ahead the day before and made reservations for myself, my mom and dad, and my husband. We sat down and the place was empty on a Saturday, just a couple tables occupied. My mom ordered a Cesar salad and it was warm! We waited an hour and 15 minutes and our food never came out. No one came and gave us an update but we kept getting sent numerous appetizers "on the house". Sodas were watered down. Bread was mediocre. Finally after an hour and 15 minutes we got up and left. Whatever was happening in the kitchen was not a good sign! They appeared to be struggling despite being not busy at all. I have never been more disappointed in a restaurant, my husband and I had to get in n out on the grapevine for dinner. I was so embarrassed that I even recommended for my family and my husband to do a dinner at uricchios, much less RAVED about it. I'm so sad what has happened to my favorite bakersfield restaurant, but all good things come to an end. I won't ever be back

Despite a largely empty dining room, we were seated at a table which was in the flow of traffic, so not a great first impression. Next, the menu is fairly limited. My permanent date had a hankering for fettuccine Alfredo, and there's no Alfredo sauce on the menu. To be fair, there are also no baked items on the menu, so good luck getting a lasagna or a pizza, and with the Budweiser lights on the walls, the place looks like it used to be a sports bar that's trying for upscale Italian. Staying with the food, the dishes were okay, not great, and for the cost of a main, it seems that restaurants are doing away with complimentary soup and salad to go with the main. My osso bucco ravioli was pretty mediocre. The filling was a paste with no actual texture, but the pasta was al dente. The marinara sauce was bright and tomato forward, but osso bucco really needs a gremolata butter sauce, and with six ravioli, a soup or a salad is really necessary for a satisfying meal. Mom's porcini sachetti were tasty, but the filling was a paste, so the texture of the mushrooms was lost. My permanent date had something called pasta brase, which features the kind of ubiquitous Bolognese sauce the restaurant seems to have pride in, but it comes with sliced sausage and bell peppers. The Bolognese wasn't bad, and neither was the sausage, but it was cut in a way that made it difficult to eat with the toppings. Finally, my offspring had the grilled chicken pasta, and penne wasn't the best choice. Overall, I got bumped a lot, the food was mediocre, the service was lackadaisical, and I don't think I'll be coming back.

Old-School Italian Comfort Food…read more Rosa's is the kind of place that feels like a true Bakersfield institution. Open since the '70s, this restaurant has been serving Italian comfort food to locals for decadea, and judging by how packed it was when we arrived at 5:00 p.m., people clearly still love it! The décor looks like it hasn't changed much since the restaurant first opened, but honestly, that's part of the charm. It's warm, cozy, and inviting, with individual booths in the main dining room and a back room that's perfect for larger parties. I ordered a glass of Sangiovese and the spinach manicotti, while my husband went with the house Chianti and chicken Parmesan. His chicken Parmesan was good, but my manicotti was definitely the winner of the night! You could immediately tell the manicotti was homemade. The pasta shells had that fresh, delicate texture you just don't get from the store bought kind. The filling was comforting, flavorful, and exactly what I was hoping for from an old-school Italian restaurant. I'll admit, I was definitely worried going into this place. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I left extremely impressed. Sometimes those are the best restaurant surprises The wait staff were another highlight. Everyone was incredibly friendly, attentive, and consistently checked in on us without being overbearing.
