I can't believe I've never written a review! This place is…read morea Bakersfield legend for a reason. Since 1910, they've been serving up amazing Italian food, and trust me...they've perfected it. Now let me give you the insider tips because this is one of those places that if you know, you know! So, If you want the patio (and trust me, you do), get there before 10:45 a.m. They open at 11, and those tables disappear FAST. Even on hot days, the misters keep it cool, and it's the perfect spot to enjoy lunch. This visit, I ordered my absolute favorite! THE Giovanna Salad with grilled chicken! I had to go light on the meal to save room the real star of the show: the Butterfinger Ice Cream Pie! The food is incredible, and the staff always makes you feel like family! If you're just passing through Bakersfield, do yourself a favor and make Luigi's a stop. You may think you've had great Italian food...but until you've been here, you're missing out.

I ordered the Italian deli sandwich on sour dough and a side of pasta salad. Food arrived within 15 minutes. The pasta salad is delicious : it comes with garbanzo beans which was different for me. The deli sandwich was great! Tons of meat and fresh vegetables. The sour dough bread, however, is a little hard. I would order the other bread next time. Delicious food, family owned with decades of history, great prices and amazing customer service! Yes I will be back and definitely recommend!

We were able to grab the last of the season's navel and Cara Cara oranges, along with some fresh lemons. Everything was incredibly fresh and full of flavor. We also picked up some dates, which are absolutely delicious. I love mine stuffed with good Irish butter and cheddar, it's the perfect sweet and savory combo. My wife prefers hers with Skippy peanut butter, and she absolutely loves them. As always, the staff were wonderful, friendly, welcoming, and happy to help. It's become a bit of a tradition for us, and we'll definitely keep coming back every time we're in the area.

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

And as always, USDA, prime meat can be pricey, but it's so worth it. (Pic is of my finished steaks resting)

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.

From cutting to your specifications, carrying specialty meats, and deliciously seasoned ready-to-cook items, you cannot find a better selection. Their fresh-stuffed pork chops, hand-stuffed sausages, local seasonings, homemade salsas (yum!), etc it's hard to believe so much good stuff is available at this butcher shop! Then on top of it, they have the best staff who treat you like family. They can recommend so many ways to cook and season if you're new going to a butcher, just ask. It's worth every penny and your tastebuds will agree. They can cut to order too.

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.
