Would like to give a review on my experience in your establishment. Today was my second time in two…read moredays visiting your restaurant. Last night, my four kids and I came. They went in, stayed in the car. They came back and told me it would be a 30-minute wait, so I said fine. Well, when they notified me the table was ready, I went in for the first time. There were two girls at the desk; they looked at me with blank faces, never greeting me or asking how they could help. I proceeded to tell the young lady that I got a message saying my table was ready. She never looked up. She then told the other girl to seat them at table 5, then said no, seat them at table 3; at this point, there was still no proper acknowledgment, which was very rude. The waiter, a ginger, male had a great personality the whole night. Now, I must say the other problem was the seating; I had a family of four and was seated in a two-sitter booth. Besides that, the food was great, with no complaints on that end. Because of the waiter, I just shrugged off my experience with the front desk. I went next door and purchased some cheesecake for the kids and called it a night. But today I returned and brought my two nephews, so I sent them in to see the wait, and they called me and said a table was ready. They were already seated when I arrived, so I walked in, and at this point, there were four girls at the desk. I said hi, "My two nephews have just been seated." Still, no smile, no "let me take you to them." I mean, not one of these girls took the time to properly address me. The young lady responded and said, "Straight down that way, you'll see them." So, I had to seat myself. At this point, my daughter arrived and came in. She told one of the girls at the desk, "I'm meeting my mother and my two cousins," still with a blank face. So, she called me and said, "Mom, where are you seated?" | had to guide her in. Once again, the waiter was awesome, the food was great, so we wrapped up our lunch. I proceeded to exit, and as I was walking past these same rude girls, I heard one of them say, "Yeah, girl, he's rich." So, I turned around, and three of them were looking at me, one hanging off the desk back turned facing The girls didn't even have the audacity to turn around. I tapped her on her shoulder and asked, "What is your name?" She said, "Jasmine." "Why?" I said, "Thank you," and proceeded towards the door. I went next door and purchased cheesecake, which I walked in and Alicia greeted us with a smile and helped us out very professionally. Now, I'm writing this review because I will not return to your establishment after today's experience. Whoever trained these young ladies needs to put them back through training. At this point, I'm not sure if they realize that they are the first person customers interact with, which could literally make or break the experience the customer has. They should always have a smile on their face and always properly greet each and every customer. I mean, you could walk into Subway, and they would even say, "Welcome to Subway." I've worked in customer service, and they need to understand they are the first face the customer sees. I was shocked at the behavior and personality of your front desk, and that was enough for me to throw in the towel. I will not be returning to your establishment for these reasons, not because of the food, not because of the waiters, but because of the faces you have at your front desk, which is not welcoming an very rude

We spent several days in Bakersfield and loved it. We wanted to have one last meal there so this…read moretime we went with Italian at Uricchio's Trattoria. We loved it so much, not only did we dine there, we ordered a bunch of food to go and drove it home to heat up and eat the next day. The next day food was just as great as when we ate there. It just has wonderful dishes. Founder by Nick Uricchio, and his son Steve they opened Uricchio's Trattoria, clearly a family affair. Sadly, Nick died some time ago. He was the nicest guy and always had a smile on his face. His nick name was Papa Nick. He always said hello to the customers and was just a doll. Go in his honor. It is just as great as when Nick was there. Steve is usually there to greet you and he is wonderful. Uricchio's Trattoria offers a great selection of appetizers, soups (a must) and entrees to satisfy anyone. They have fresh seasonal dishes prepared with care from Executive Chef Raphael Hernandez who has been there forever I think. Parking is easy. Make a reservation, you want to do that. It gets crowded. We have been there without one before and loved sitting at the bar and eating. Anything with shrimp is great. All of their pastas are great. We loved their spaghetti and meat balls. Their vegetables are made right. They don't consider it something just to toss on your plate. They are al dente and so great. Their Linguini pasta with shrimp, scallops, clams and mussels in a tomato basil marinara sauce is my favorite and they have the best salads and desserts. It is a must stop in Bakersfield. The place is beautiful.

Waited an hour for our food because they were understaffed. The food was spectacular, and our waitress (Micah) worked so hard for us. We were really pushed, but the manager (Clair) took such good care of us. Food arrived 5 minutes before we had to leave, but it was so tasty! Leftovers were better the next day. I give it 5 stars because of the overall experience. Great cocktails, great service, spectacular food. Definitely will go back again and again.

I placed the order over the phone, and the cashier was very nice. She had my order ready when I arrived. The Giovanna's salad came with mixed greens with candied walnut and pecan crumbles, no actual pieces in the salad so it was a little disappointing. I got the blue cheese on the side. The salad was very fresh and tasty, paired with balsamic vinaigrette. There is a separate restaurant area, bar, and deli here! It is so cute inside and has a lot of character. They even sell t-shirts and little knick knacks. I am looking forward to trying the truffle sacchetti and pasta bolognese in the future. Happy eating! Yelp Review #42- 2026

Pyrenees bread never goes unnoticed and is welcomed to my presence with glee. The lunch menu offered a few things that sounded amazing (looking at you, bruschetta) but I settled on a spinach salad with fennel, fruit, and goat cheese topped with a tangy cilantro dressing. The chicken was seasoned nicely and the salad was a delight. My friend ordered the penne pasta with butter garlic sauce, also with chicken. Of course I had some her plate and it was nicely seasoned and tasty but not unforgettable. I am glad to have finally come here, but thought my lunch was pretty expensive compared to what I usually pay for a one diner situation.

Their lasagna is to die for, the bolognese will make you cry tears of joy. The chicken Parmesan was tender and the marinara tasted so fresh. Then the fettuccine Alfredo was the highlight of the meal for me, it was soooo creamy and cheesy and the noodles were perfect. After sampling everything, the fettuccine was what I ended up finishing in the restaurant.The other party members ordered a shrimp scampi with gluten free noodles and the sauce was rich and tasty. We also ordered a child's pepperoni pizza that tasted amazing with the marinara and seemed like it was wood fired. Our waitress was friendly and kind, and also very prompt, which we appreciated. We sat in a booth and enjoyed the ambiance, everyone in the dining room was chatting and having a good time. Will definitely be back!

Our server was a pleasant young fellow and mostly took good care of our table, although I did order an iced tea that never came, which I completely forgot about until the end of the dinner, but it wasn't on the bill. The menu has many options; I decided on the gnocchi. After some delicious, pillowy-soft bread and a lackluster salad, my dish arrived. The potato dumpling pasta was perfectly made and the meat sauce was very tasty. I usually fill up quickly with pasta and this was no exception. I wasn't quite able to finish the entire dish although I enjoyed every bite I had. Definitely a great choice for Italian food in Bakersfield.

To all you 1 star haters. I just want to say I'm a regular and consider myself a pizza connoisseur…read more This is definitely the best in town and in my opinion they use good quality ingredients. They definitely get busy but always make sure you feel welcomed. The guy who attends us always provides amazing service and he's very kind. Can't go without having a good conversation with the man. Never had an issue with getting my food on time. It's been busy and even then they make sure you have best service it's not a fast food so know what to expect. Best believe you will leave with a tummy full but satisfied. If your on your lunch common sense to call ahead of time and expect a wait. They want to give you fresh food like I said it's not a fast food. Can't speak for everything on the menu as I said I'm a pizza connoisseur but so far the best I've had in town and I'm not changing my mind! I love you slice of Italy. Yes the pictures I posted all separate occasions and the pictures speak for themselves. Sincerely, your regular costumer !

BEWARE OF THIS PLACE! I ordered delivery from here under their virtual restaurant name "Pasta…read moreItaliano" and it was the single-most unpleasant meal I have ever had delivered to me. For one, the pictures on the app are completely bogus and do not represent what the food actually looks like. I have included somw images of what I received, and you are free to check the food delivery app of your choice to inspect the images yourself. Next is the food itself. I am not Italian, but I felt very offended that anyone would pass this off as authentic. Firstly, the garlic bread- picture the smallest loaf of French bread possible, sliced up with tiny pieces of cheese melted on it. Where's the garlic? At least it was soft I guess. But the biggest insult was the chicken Alfredo. It was like they just cooked the noodles, chopped up a microwaved piece of raw chicken, got some sauce from the supermarket and called it a day. You can see exactly how bland it looks in the picture I provided. Oh, but it gets worse- not only was the sauce flavorless, but the chicken was undercooked. It was so sickening that I instantly threw the food away and resolved myself to write up this review as a WARNING to the community. Do. Not. Dine. Here. Again, if you need any more proof, please check the images I provided.

First time here, only came after 9pm beacuse I was hungry and alone lol…read more I had no idea this place turns into a night club or is a night club after certain hrs. This establishment didn't offer table service, all qr code and get up and get it yourself if your thirsty. That was a real turn off, especially when I got up to get drink #2 my food was gone when I was returning to my table. This place would've got 5 stars but the whole get up and get it yourself was a huge deal breaker. I ordered off the menu that was offered but I had seen online they do offer different food, so maybe after certain hrs they shut kitchen to just finger food. I got the bbq bacon burger with garlic fries and a side of onion straws. Burger 10/10 perfectly cooked, well seasoned and good size for the price. Garlic fries were ordered with NO SALT and they got it right 10/10! Onion straws also ordered with NO SALT and they got it right 10/10! Ranch 10/10. I ordered a drink called Hazelnut Chi Chi 100% 10/10! The only issue I have with the drink is that the menu says $11 but my bill showed $12.50, that is $1.50 they did not mention prior to me ordering the drink. As I mentioned after receiving my second drink and turning atound to return to my table my FOOD WAS GONE! My bartender did take care of me though so shout-out to the young man wearing the tuxedo shirt. He got my order remade to go. Other than being super loud because of live dj it is a cool little spot to have some awesome food. I do recommend and I will go back. P.s. they have rewards so don't forget to sign up.

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

You can tell this place has a strong local following, and after eating here, it makes sense why. The food was straight up delicious. Everything came out fresh, hot, and full of flavor. You can taste the quality in every bite, nothing felt rushed or thrown together. Definitely one of those spots where you leave full and already thinking about what you're ordering next time. Service was excellent. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made sure we were taken care of the whole time without being over the top. That kind of service always stands out. Overall, great food, great service, and a solid atmosphere. Me and the family will definitely be coming back soon.

Wife's medium steak was brought out super rare, Jasper apologized and returned it to the kitchen but he forgot about it he apologized again, when it finally came out, it was cooked perfectly this time, but very late. OG was very busy, all the dinners looked very appetizing no complaints. We went through a few bowls of their appealing salad and many addicting bread sticks. Jasper and a helper were kept busy. We brought an ice cream cake and were provided plates and forks. OG was very accommodating. No more birthdays hopefully for a while I'll return to OG again but probably on a weeknight
