My BF and I went for my birthday and just wanted a nice dinner. We sat for about 20 min waiting for service, which we didn't receive until we had to ask a server for help! Then my menu was missing the page of steaks and I was bummed because he said they had them; until I realized I was missing a page. We ordered drinks and our appetizer and meal at the same time. The drink my BF ordered was no longer in stock..... Idk why you offered it?! We got drinks before bread and about 2 min before dinner... Still no appetizer. It was a really really REALLY long wait and our appetizer which came out AFTER our meals?!? He ordered his steak medium rare and it came out medium well?! How is that even close? He was very upset and very confident that we will never be back! My steak was medium and it was good. The service was so terrible that it ruined the whole experience and was a huge disappointment. I highly doubt we will ever be back!!!! I will say that the waitress that DID help us, was very nice and gave us a free dessert when she boxed up the meal. She also comped his steak. However, we weren't out for a free meal, just a good one and it was very disappointing. I really had high hopes but it was a complete FLOP!!! Happy frickin' birthday to me..... read more

Decent food but crap service. Food was about 12-15 per entree with steak around 30. We kept having to ask for every little thing. Can we pull up another table? Can you wipe it off for us? We didn't get enough utensils, can we get a few more? Can we order? My glass has been empty for 15 minutes, can we get refills? Etc. it got old after being there two hours. read more

Had dinner in Hanford tonight, Fugazzi's never disappoints. Our food was excellent and our waiter Jose was wonderful.

I would say my rating is an average of what I have experienced every time I have had this restaurant. The Service: Super nice waitresses (for the most part). All of the women I have had as a waitress have been super friendly and welcoming. I have had one waiter who was a less desirable in a waiter (he didn't really check up on our table, and kind of made our party feel like we were burdening him). The Atmosphere: Lounge style, dark and somewhat secluded from other parties. Overall pretty nice place. The Food: Okay, where do I begin. I ordered pasta here once, it was the most bland pasta I have ever had as an adult. Really. No salt, pepper or anything else. Kraft mac and cheese was more flavorful than this pasta. Someone Else who was dining with me however ordered the steak bistro salad- which was amazing- at the time. The veggies were sautéed in balsamic, the steak was tender and juicy and the whole salad was topped with a crunchy jalapeño (might be another chili) popper. Delicious. Heres the catch- I have returned many times for this salad, receiving completely different quality and flavored version of the same exact order. The last time I ordered it, the steak was dry and thin beef jerky-esque. The veggies have been raw. It has been delicious again, it might be the chef. Overall: Too inconsistent for my tastes. read more

Fugazzis - Steak Bistro Salad (on a good day) - New American Near Me - Hanford, California

So, the food was mediocre at best. And the service there would be receiving an undue compliment if I said the same. I was the last person in our group to receive food. And when i asked about it the snide little waitress walked right on past as if I hadn't said anything. Then she came back with my food and made a rude comment about it. read more

I've been to this restaurant a number of times and my food has always been good. I have no complaints about my meal. I will however say my service was AWFUL. Normally service is ok at best but tonight was hands down one of the worst service I've received in a restaurant. We waited for anyone to acknowledge our arrival for close to five minutes and were seated at a dirty table with crumbs all over the seats. Our waitress clearly did not like her job. My husband asked for a water when she came to take our drink order and evidently that was my choice too because she didn't even wait to see what I wanted. My wine (which I ordered with my dinner order) was almost gone by the time my entree arrived and was empty after a few bites. Never was asked if my food was ok let alone if I would like another glass. And we didn't even get offered dessert. Oh and I had to box my own leftovers. So normally a nice dinner out we spend about $100, our dinner was $40 because we were rushed through a date night dinner. Guess this restaurant isn't in business to make money or actually provide service. Next time we will just drive to Visalia and hit a real restaurant. Last time I go here despite relatively good food. Service is awful!! read more

Food is usually good but service is lacking. No attention to detail. Servers take too much time and leave you high and dry when it's time for another beverage. Took some customers out and spent hundreds of dollars one night. Ordered take out for my wife and came home to food that I didn't order. Super disappointing. Called to get a refund and they refused to do anything. I will never give Fugazzis my business again. At least make it right when you make mistakes. Bad business. read more

Not the best food. This place tries to be fancy but its not happening. Prices are high for the quality of food they give. The plating is awesome but the taste they need more flavor added. read more

See all

I really like the atmosphere and coming with friends but the wait time for the food is ridiculous. It would be ok if the wait staff was very tentative and keep drinks full but when you wait an hour and a half for a simple order it becomes frustrating. There was about 1/4 of the restaurant full and it still took a long time. The drinks were empty and the service was bad, but the food is delicious. read more

I went here with some lady friends of mine and we had a wonderful time. The food was good and the service was excellent.

Last night 4/28/23 my husband & I took our Colorado guests to Fugazzi's in Hanford. After reading what everyone had to say about this restaurant, I really didn't know what to expect. We were greeted at the door and immediately sat down. Our server came right over and took our drink & appetizer orders. We also received a plate of yummy freshly made bread. Hubby & I couldn't decide whether we wanted a salad or not. Our server suggested a split wedge salad which came on individual plates. Our guests wanted to share a meal and she said no problem. I have been in other restaurants where people wanted to share a meal and they were brought a plate so they could split it themselves. When their order came it was already on 2 separate plates. Both our guests and hubby ordered the rib eye which they all agreed was seasoned and cooked to perfection. I ordered the halibut. When it came, I was a little leery. I've never had halibut with a sauce over it. But let me tell you - that was the best halibut that I have ever had. Baked potato was amazing. If I had anything negative to say - it would be that the veggies need to be cooked a little longer. But they still had good flavor. So, for all of you that haven't been there in years - I would suggest another visit. Thank you Fugazzi's for a wonderful evening. Also - we had a top notch server - thanks Maria M. read more

I've come here a few times. First time for myself and a friend and the food was excellent. The next time I came back it was for my sister's wedding reception dinner and the food was so-so. I think they do amazing work when it's a smaller party but may get a little frazzled with a larger party (10+). I'll still come back but not for any large events. read more

My 1st time at this restraint an I was served promptly fagozis is a nice restraint an the waitresst is respectful an the waiter I order beef ravioli not bad at all.... read more

We love the food. We would give it 5 stars except for the alwaysl very slow service We arrived at 5:00pm and were not served for 45 minutes even though there were only two other tables occupied read more

This is not your "fast Italian" restaurant. If you want "soup, salad, and breadsticks," look elsewhere. This is high end, Top Chef quality cuisine. The atmosphere was subdued and comfortable. The portions were enough to make us leave some behind in order to fit dessert. I had the Chicken Tequila Fettuccine. It was superb. I never would have thought to top grilled chicken with fresh jalapeños, but it worked wonderfully. My girlfriend had the al pesto tortellini, and I cannot type fast enough to capture her praises for it. For dessert, we each had the creme brûlée cheesecake. It was smooth, rich, and flavorful. A perfect end to a wonderful meal. The server had the near perfect balance of attentiveness and ignoring us, giving us the privacy to keep the intimacy of our meal in tact, while still keeping our drinks full. The only negative I can give is that they were out of iced tea. The server offered to make more, but also suggested an alternative which still complimented the meal. read more

I have liked it pretty well anytime we have gone as a party of two. The food isn't amazing, kinda bland sometimes but it is a nice atmosphere and good food. We have been to the one in Hanford as a party of around 15 and the same for the Visalia Fugazzi's... It is incredible the POOR POOR service you get as a large party. You get one server and that server gets no help. We had to ask for bread in both situations! They brought one round for HALF of the table the time in Hanford and in Visalia we just had to ask about an hour into service...which to me, is not cool. It is just hard for one server to take excellent care of a large party and have other tables. It would be nice if on Large parties they had 2 servers ESPECIALLY because gratuity is added at 18% poor service or not. You would think they would want the large parties choosing their business for dinner, that is some good $$!! We ended up canceling our dessert order because after being there for 2.5 hours you are kinda just ready to go home. It was like that at both locations... very consistent...but not in a good way. read more

I went to dinner with my wife and kids for out anniversary, so I will start off with first impressions I believed that I needed a suit and tie. However we were not rejected so that is ok. My family was promptly seated and we ordered drinks. I ordered a raspberry ice tea, my wife had a long island and my kids both had chocolate milk My wife had a Linguine and Clams which she said was OK but nothing to go crazy about. The noodles were a little over cooked and lacked flavor. However it was as close to Napoli as she has come in a while. I had a Spicy shrimp arrabiata it the noodles were over cooked but the spice was just right. It was ok for American, Italian food. My kids both had pizza and they loved it. You can't go wrong with pizza and kids. Over all my wife said she don't feel comfortable going to eat at this place as the atmosphere is too stiff necked for her. I loved the food I just wished I didn't feel like I needed a suit and tie on to eat here. If momma don't like it then that pretty much goes in line with my feelings. I will probably order take out but as for sitting and eating not so much. The food was good but I don't want to feel like I need to be high socity to get something to eat. As for the Arrabiata check out this place blueden.it to make this pasta. read more

Great food! Love the stomboli's and the garlic knots! Excellent lasagna, too! Service is lacking and needs to be dealt with, but prices are good and we've never been disappointed with the food! read more

Wonderful experience, generous servings and drinks. Jose was so attentive and made us feel at home. Seafood pasta, lamb chops, and cheescake #tasty #Wonderful #FugazziHappeningInHanford. Gracias Jose. read more

Amazing service and very delicious food. Can only afford to come here every bow and then but overall a great place for a monthly date!

I have been here at least 7 times, during the day, and evening, just with friends, and with a party, where you do not pick what you order. Each time it's been GREAT!!! Thumbs up! I hope it stays open in Hanford!! read more

The food was exceptionally great! me and my girlfriend had a wonderful time, seats was great, waitress was kind and on point with her services. I got the beef ravioli and my girlfriend got the shrimp Alfredo and both plates were amazing.

Fugazzis - 805 and my lovely gf! - New American Near Me - Hanford, California

Just tried the new menu and were very pleased. The entire dining experience was much more enjoyable than the previous two times I've experienced. Service was fantastic Tyler was our server and he was great had great recommendations and was very attentive to our requests. Food came out at the appropriate times unlike inhe past when everything was dreadfully slow. Food was also great we had the shrimp scampi appetizer and it was great and the shrimps were more like giant prawns. The steak and lobster tail was excellent as well. Loved the blue cheese butter. Great job will not hesitate to dine here again read more

Excellent service. The food is really good. I moved in Lemoore from LA area and i tried so many Italian food restaurants more expensive than Fugazzis. Fugazzis won my heart. Love this place absolutely relaxing and great food. I ordered seafood pasta and it was great. I have no complaints. Definitely coming back here. read more

Came at 8:00PM with a group of people for our friends last day in town and they were closed even though their website says they closed at 9PM. We planned this all week and set a date with a group of people and now theirs no time to go anywhere else due to it being late. I'm so disappointed. They need to change their time on their website. read more

I tried the Chipotle chicken with Penni pasta & had them spice it up a bit more with some jalapenos on the side as well. Great dinner & condiments. WINNER! Menu range from 10-30$ read more

Steaks are pretty good. Pretty pricey but worth it if you're in the mood for a relaxed environment. Mixed drinks are pretty good. I reccomend. Dont really know the area much but parking wasn't too bad. read more

I have seen the reviews in here and it had me skeptical, but I have to say that I was very impressed! The menu was diverse and the food was delicious. I had never been here before the menu change, but I enjoyed every aspect of my dinner. I order two appetizers and dessert, plus 3 different drinks from the bar and everything was excellent. For those that complain about the price, if you want a more "homestyle" place with cheaper prices you should go to Ryan's or Black Bear..... read more

I'm telling you guys what, my review went from horrible to amazing! They have really turned things around and I think if you've had a bad experience in the last few years, definitely give them another chance! The staff was all on point and so friendly. They really have a collective team effort going on. The hostess is amazing!!!! Everyone who walked by our table grabbed a dirty plate or refilled our cup even if they weren't our waitress! We will now be coming back again regularly. It's great to finally have a decent dine in restaurant in Hanford! read more

The decor and ambiance is very nice. The server was attentive. It's a good date place. The quality of the food wasn't great. The food was a 2. I started with a side salad with blue cheese dressing. The dressing was just cheapy shelf stable stuff. Not even the quality that I would buy from the grocery store for home. The bread was either over toasted or stale. The dipping sauce was good. I got the fusilli pasta. It was curly cue pasta that tasted like it cost about .99 cents. It definitely was not home made or gourmet. The pesto sauce on the pasta was good. There were a few artichokes in it. Most of the leaves were too tough to chew. Not much artichoke heart there either. The sun dried tomatoes in the sauce were good. It just would have been nice to see a better quality of pasta rather than such a processed one. Next time I'll get a sandwich. read more

Trying to order through grub hub was so confusing. It asked me where to deliver so I put my address. The food never showed up! I called customer support and they said it was a pick up order. Completely disappointing!! read more

Loved it!!! Brussels sprouts appetizer was not too fried and very flavorful. Angel hair pasta (with Parmesan sprinkled on) was nice and light but cooked to perfection. The salads are delish and not drowned in dressing. I'll definitely be back! read more

Our servers are always awesome! Fun and nice. Food is always delicious. Absolutely love the Brussel sprouts and pesto tortellini!!

So we arrived at 8:30 pm. It's now 9:20. Haven't got my second beer, haven't got our food, my wife just recieved a cold cup of coffee. Service couldn't be worse if they tried. Believe me they tried real hard to be the worst they could be. read more

I never learn , they always make we wait forever, this time it got to the point I had to write about it.

Pros: Big seating area, menu variety. Lots of topping and salsas to chose from on your own, on a buffet tale, beautiful paintings on the wall. Cons: The silverware and cups were dirty. The food is plain, not Mexican in my opinion; a lot of black beans and fresh ingredients but the tortillas weren't cooked all the way, the rice is flavorless. read more

A great night out that finally felt normal after the past year. Drinks were a little slow but place was full and staff was hustling and still trying to get rhythm. Food was great, thanks for an enjoyable evening. read more

Love Love Love Fugazzis. I usually frequent the Tulare and Visalia locations and I was so happy to see they were in Hanford as well. I was meeting a friend for lunch and everyone was wonderful. I had a pizza and the artichoke appetizer. Both hit the spot! I'll definitely recommended again. read more

Food was amazing and drinks were great. But the server(s) were forgetful. We asked for bread for appetizer, but we never received it. My husband asked for a fork, and it took them 10+ minutes. We had to remind them again.. I understand working as a server can be overwhelming and it gets busy (I was a server once), but it shouldn't take someone 10+ mins to get a fork for a customer.. It was our first time at Fugazzis, so maybe next time it will be a different experience. Overall, the environment was nice. read more

What a great find! The food was so delicious....filet mignon cooked to perfection, angel hair pasta was so good! We had the best waitress too, Erica was attentive and made sure we were well taken care of read more
