Frugatti's - Parmesan chicken with fettuccine Alfredo - Italian Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Fruggatis is the real deal what can I say that hasn't already been said? My only regret was not coming here sooner. The service was amazing the establishment is beautiful and the food is delicious and the portions are huge. My only complaint is that the mashed potatoes with my steak were a bit under seasoned but the rest of our meal was delicious. Definitely try their carrot cake it's amazing the cream cheese frosting is fluffy and you can tell it's homemade. read more

The food is absolutely fantastic. I highly recommend setting up a reservation online especially if you have a date and time in mind for the future since it does tend to get busy, especially Friday - Sunday. The staff is always nice and helpful. My partner and I love celebrating at Frugatti's. I always go with Theresa's Favorite Tortellini. A classic. It has such a mouthful of flavor and creaminess. The lobster ravioli were to die for! The sauce is heavenly and the mash potatoes are just so smooth. The best mash potatoes you'd ever have! We started off with a side salad of Caesar Salad and let me tell you, that was definitely bigger than expect. The dressing tastes homemade and fresh. I loved every bite. We decided to get the red raspberry cheesecake since we typically get the tiramisu (which if you are in the fence of which dessert just get the tiramisu you cannot miss with that one). The cheese cake was rich and just the perfect amount of sweetness. The red raspberries on top were the perfect combination. Everything about the food at Frugatti's is just amazing! read more

My husband and I came to Frugattis for our anniversary dinner. It was a Friday night so we made reservations which were very helpful. We waited just a short time until our table was ready. Our server Desiree was great. She made suggestions and even wished us a happy anniversary. Food was delicious! At the end of the meal our server even brought us a complimentary dessert to end the night. I will say the restaurant should think about lowering the lights, especially in the evening. There were a lot of couples and I think doing this would really set the mood. read more

This is a good Italian restaurant it's a bit different style of Italian cuisine. The restaurant decor is great it's pretty authentic. It is a very busy place I highly suggest making a reservation if not you will have a wait. The service is really good for how busy the restaurant is the servers are on top of things. The food portions or big including the appetizers you will definitely not leave hungry they have a pretty good dessert menu. The carrot cake is out of this world. The price for the food is reasonable and not overly priced also the adult drinks or good and reasonable also go and check out this establishment. I am pretty sure you will not be disappointed. I highly recommend it.. read more

I waited what I thought was a good amount of time before even attempting to try the new location. Apparently, I didn't give them enough time, as our wait time was just over an hour. The new location is beautifully done and so much bigger and brighter than the old location. It's also so much easier to get to as the old location was hard to get into the parking lot! Speaking of parking lots, this one sucks! It was pouring raining and after driving around and around trying to find a place to park in their weird shaped lot, I decided to park inside the white picket fenced off area directly in front of the restaurant. We were escorted all the way to the back corner of the restaurant which seems as though it's on a patio? I decided to try the spinach manicotti that had 3 different sauces (Alfredo, red, and pesto). After sending it back due to believing it had pork in the red sauce, I was informed that it did not. I absolutely loved this manicotti! It was so flavorful!!! The hubby got the chicken parmigiana and loved every bite. My oldest got the stuffed mushrooms and said they were good but she loved the free bread more lol. There's just something about that balsamic and oil with crushed peppers. My youngest got the Mac and cheese and I was disappointed that it looked just Kraft! How are you a high end Italian restaurant and serving Kraft macaroni and cheese?! read more

Frugatti's is not to be missed! Since we have travel up to Bakersfield quite a lot dealing with our business, it's a wonderful place to bring our employees for lunch. As an Italian myself, it's nice knowing we have a place where I can have great, authentic Italian food just like my Nonna made. As a pescatarian myself, our favorite server Sharlene always has the best recommendations. We appreciate how knowledgeable she is with the menu items. She never disappoints! My biggest pet peeve at restaurants is empty drinks. With Sharlene, our ice teas and waters are always topped off. We never feel abandoned when it's time to pay our bill, which is appreciated when we have to get back to work. We always look forward to our next visit knowing we'll have great food & great service! read more

Food 5 stars Service 5 stars Ambiance 5 stars Went for a business dinner with 10 people & we were all so blown away! Loved the interior, tons of tables & space. Great decor. It's not cheap, but it's worth it. Service was excellent, with great wine suggestions & food choices were perfection. 1000% recommend. read more

We had a wonderful experience last night celebrating our 12th year anniversary. We didn't make a reservation, but even though the restaurant was bustling, we seated after only 10 minutes. Our waitress was a doll, I wish I could remember her name. After maybe 3 minutes of being seated, she came over and took our drink order. I decided to try their Raspberry Italian Lemon Drop Martini and my husband, as usual, stuck to the classic margarita. The flavor of the lemon drop Martini was fantastic. A little too sweet with the sugared rim, but it was strong! As for the Margarita? I didn't hear any complaints. The restaurant itself is so beautiful both inside and out. I felt transported as soon as I entered. There are many Italian details from the rat pack painting in their lobby, to the Vespa above the bar, to what I assume are family portraits that line the walls. The open layout, the table lines, even the twinkling lights in their shrubbery are all beautiful details. I ended up ordering the Lobster Ravioli and my husband ordered the chicken Picatta. Complimentary bread was brought out which was great and we had our meal within 20-30 minutes after placing it! Food was amazing! We had spent the whole evening talking g but as soon as our food arrived it was silence at our table. Portions are LARGE. we ended up eating maybe a 3rd of the plate and asked for containers to take our leftovers home. Lastly, we ordered cannolis for dessert, and our server said it was on the house with it being our anniversary. It was such a kind gesture and a sweet surprise to end our night. Frugatti's had to be one of the best dining experiences I've had in a very long time. All staff is attentive from the hostesses, to the buss boys. This will now be one of our regular dinner spots, for sure! read more

We went out Frugatti's for dinner. Overall, we were all satisfied with our meals. The portions sizes are big, big enough that two of us asked to share a pasta plate and when it came out it was still a pretty decent portion. The reason for my 4 stars and not 5 is due to the pasta sauces being greasy. Our server was nice and attentive. The restaurant is nice and clean. It does get busy around dinner time. read more

Not what we were expecting. The waiting staff made up for the food. We had a party of 6 with all of us ordering different things, so we could taste a few things. Two of the dishes they got wrong, and everything was made with way too much oil and cheese. The Manicotti was really small and the cheese overpowered the filling . Idk what happened, but it's not what it used to be. read more

It was my first time at Frugatti's when we had our wedding reception in their wine cave. Everything we had was exceptional! Our guests raved about the chicken with mushroom sauce. Chicken was so tender and creamy. Their pasta was also good. We had both the penne with red sauce and carbonara with white sauce and both were so flavorful! The wine cave was perfect for the size of our party and the best part of all of it was the service. The staff took really good care of us and helped us to the slicing of the cake to the packing of all our excess food. Highly recommended and will go back here for a memorable date with my husband! read more

We have been wanting to try the new Frugatti's for some time now. Everyone we talked too had nice things to say. It was New Years Eve and a perfect opportunity to give it a try for lunch. While I knew where it was, getting into the place is tricky. You take a side street off of Brimhall. There is lots of parking. It was around 12:30. We were seated right away. Our server took our drink order and brought us some very tasty bread. There are ample supplies of balsamic and oil for dipping. A few friends had mentioned it was noisy, but we did not find that at lunchtime. Our server brought our food; a Frugatti's Baked special to split, a house salad, and a cup of clam chowder. I enjoyed the chowder, while my wife enjoyed the house salad. The portions are good-sized. The chowder was tasty with some nice potatoes pieces. The sandwich was a nice combo of meats and cheeses on their delicious bread. It's a comfortable place to enjoy a mall. The decor is cool with lots of photographs. An the place is quite large. I'm sure it's as great place to host a party. If you haven't tried the new Frugatti's, you need to give it a try. read more

I really enjoyed this place on my quick visit ti Bakersfield. I think the ambiance is so cute with the decor. I love the vespas and the patio is super cute with the trees and the little lights. Great atmosphere. Servers were good, a bit on the slower side but that's okay. The real star was the food. Great portions and really tasty. I got the Spinach Manicotti and it was extraordinary. I had to take the rest home. I finished about half. Really tasty. Tiramisu was good too. Really worth the money in terms of quantity. Would come back for sure. read more

We had a reservation today (Saturday) for my daughter's birthday lunch and were seated on the patio. It was a busy Saturday afternoon, but the new location is spacious, bright, and very welcoming -- a great atmosphere overall. The food was excellent as always. I ordered the chicken piccata, which came with garlic mashed potatoes and did not disappoint , so flavorful and perfectly prepared. My daughter had her favorite, the chicken Alfredo, which she loved. Another person in our party ordered the chicken Caesar salad. The side salad with a house salad dressing deserves a special mention, a creamy garlic Italian that is absolutely to die for. Our waitress was friendly, though clearly very busy. Unfortunately, service fell short toward the end of our visit. Even after mentioning it was my daughter's birthday, she brought the bill without asking about dessert. I told her we were planning to order dessert, and she said okay but walked away. We were never offered a dessert menu or asked what we had in mind. After waiting quite a while, my daughter (who is 10) became upset and asked to leave since no one had followed up. When the waitress eventually returned, we paid our bill and left to enjoy dessert elsewhere. Overall, the food and atmosphere were wonderful, but the lack of follow-through on service, especially for a birthday celebration, was disappointing. With better attention at the end of the meal, this would have been a perfect experience. read more

Love the new location, large with plenty of seating. The back area is a little more laid back with a patio feel but it's enclose so outside weather didn't hinder the experience. Great service, staff was friendly and food came out in good time. I enjoyed the spinach and artichoke pizza, great for a larger group. The sampler was also good, the chicken thing poppers are addicting. My go to has always been the eggplant Parmesan, even at the old location and it did not disappoint. Comes with soup or salad, mash potatoes or pasta plate. Staff sang happy birthday to me and I enjoyed a slice of carrot cake. If you're visiting or haven't been to the new location, I recommend it! read more

I went to order take out for the first time at Frugatti's. I was helped by the sweetest girl named Payton. She was so friendly and kind.

Dinned in 04/20 for me and my girlfriends one year anniversary and our server Andrew made the experience so enjoyable. Greeted us with a welcoming smile and nice conversation. Gave us helpful tips for food choices. The food was phenomenal, definitely recommend the Alfredo. And they even gave us a complimentary carrot cake with a nice message written in a strawberry sauce. 10/10 would recommend. Thank you Andrew read more

Service was great, loved the decor. Food was bland and not worth what we paid. Lots of it, but there's nothing homemade about this place. Tasted like they use the same canned sauces as every other "Italian" place in town. Not coming back. read more

Everything - the menu, the food, the service, and the ambiance was wonderful. We stopped there while traveling to Phoenix based on the glowing reviews and were impressed. The menu includes traditional Italian dishes and wood-fired pizzas that looked appealing. But it also includes "Ralph's Fitness Menu" that has a sampling of their dishes that are made with less fat. I had the Fitness Baked Chicken Breast that came with asparagus and roasted rosemary potatoes. The chicken was tender and flavorful, covered in herbs and baked in their wood-fired oven, and the side dishes were great too. My husband had the chicken caesar salad, which he enjoyed as well. Our server was very friendly and attentive. read more

Came in on a busy evening . Alyssa our waitress was the nicest and accommodating. Although it was busy, she sure didn't show she was stressed and still treated us like we were the only ones in the room. She recommended a few entrees which was amazing. I forget what one of the dish was called but it was these cheese stuffed pasta with pesto creamy sauce . DELICIOUS! Will definitely come back and hopefully get Alyssa and her recommendations again ! read more

Love this restaurant! Portions are crazy big! Service always spot on. Love their new location.

Fancy restaurant in a nice new location. Good service with friendly staff. Prices are on the higher side. Food quality is okay but nothing great. Lack of vegetarian/vegan options. This place is adequate, but there are better Italian restaurants out there. read more

Great place for a delicious dinner. Our server gave some great recommendations that were spot on. Everything was amazing.

The first time we went service wasn't good. And the food wasn't good. I didn't even take my leftovers. Boycotted it for almost 2 years. We decided to go on a Sunday night. Walked in got seated pretty quickly. It wasn't crazy loud even though we were next to the kitchen. Ordered our food. Food was delicious! Afterwards, I was super gassy. The next day it gave me the . I had to stay on the the whole day. Sooooo. Needless to say, most likely not going back ever. read more

Went here on 4/20/26 while visiting CA. The food here is always good & the portion sizes are huge! This was my 2nd time here. The only thing that wasn't great was the temperature. CA is hot, but the air conditioning situation was just too much...it was literally freezing. We sat out in the indoor/outdoor patio area & it was still freezing. A nice young man addressed the issue of the fan running above us & turned it off after the manager wouldn't address the temperature. THANK YOU to that young man. Going forward, if an issue is relayed to the manager, it should be addressed. read more

A delicious Italian experience. From the home made pasta sauces to the ambiance. Frugatti's is a great family dinner spot or even a romantic date night spot. They have plenty of options to pick for any kinda of eater including a few lighter options. But do you really go light when eating Italian food! Recommend Papa Pasta or Therea's Favorite Tortellini. read more

First time trying Frugatti's new location. The parking hasn't improved but the building is beautiful. I was hesitant at first on where we were seated, on the inclosed patio, around a corner, but our server Brianna B. was very attentive and helpful. My husband had the Basilciata, a steak and pasta dish, that he said was the best Italian dish he's ever had. I ordered the Papo Pasta and it was delicious as well. We were celebrating my birthday and I got to choose a dessert. I didn't look at the menu, I knew I loved their tiramisu. Their pasta dishes are very generous and we were able to get a second meal out of them as leftovers. We decided we need to come here more often. I recommend making reservations. read more
