This review actually breaks my heart to write this. I LOVED…read moreuricchios. I owned a downtown salon and would recommend my clients and friends to go there for dinner. 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

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.

I can't believe I've lived here for so long without having experienced Luigi's! The hype is real…read more We went on a Friday around 1:00. We were told it would be 30-35 minutes, but it only ended up being 8 minutes. It was so nice to be in a restaurant with character, history and personality. Loved seeing all the old photos. It was noisy, but not from loud music, but from people chatting and enjoying having conversations. We order the red and white pasta, tri tip sandwich and pastrami sandwich. They do not skimp on the meat. Sandwiches were delicious. I enjoyed my pasta and side plate of salami, cheese and bread. To end our lunch we had the butterfinger ice cream pie. Chef's kiss on a great lunch. The staff at Luigi's doesn't skip a beat. Our water glasses were never empty. Even being busy, the service isn't compromised. Afterwards, we walked around their store. It was full of take and bake items, wines and deli items. I highly recommend people visit!

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.

This was our first time eating at Mamma Mia and it will not be our last! We met another couple who…read morehad arrived before us (they called and rsvp'd same day) and we didn't see them inside. We were so wrong - this place looks quaint and cozy at first glance but it opens up! After getting sat down with our party, the server took our drink orders and we ordered a mushroom satchel plate for the table. We ended up ordering another plate for the table. Plates were gone before I could get a drool worthy photo. Our drinks came and they were delicious. Like seriously, I'd like to take a moment to remember our drinks. Okay back to it. The entrees came and everything was so good. It was such a nice time to talk and eat and talk and eat. Such a pleasant place!

They have the best fillet mignon in Bakersfield, prove me wrong…read more I always order the meatballs as an app. Love the sauce. Solid bar staff. Great server staff all very good and very attentive. Make a reservation they are very organized Their pasta is great but the chicken, steak and pork chops are the best in town.

The food is amazing! I got the Italian Trio (it's a lot of food!) and was so happy because I…read moreenjoyed all three dishes, though I took a lot home. 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!

So everyone I work with recommend this place as I have never been. My Navy baby was taking me out…read moreto dinner, so we both said yes to this place. There is plenty of parking in the front and in the back. Decor isn't so great. Service was not so great. At the end once meals were payed couldn't get a server our way to get to go boxes, so I got up and got them myself. Food was mid‍. I was expecting to be wowed and it just didn't happen. The deep fried ravioli with the dipping sauce is delicious, not going to lie. My steak was a tough. The pasta was very al dente, something neither my daughter nor I are used to and now that we have tried al dente I can say I we are not fans. Shrimp scampi was a tad salty and oily, but the shrimps were cooked to perfection. Nothing special about the desserts. I am a huge fan of carrot cake and tiramisu and both were very underwhelming, especially the lemon tiramisu. The raspberry tea was good. The coconut shrimp were good. The egg thingy with peas was surprisingly delicious the flavor was there and it was cooked to perfection. The white pasta sauce was very bland. I have to admit the seasoning on both the chops and the steak was beautiful but it just carried too much char flavor and as I said meat was tough. Would I go back? Yes, I would give place another chance. Too bad my baby has gone back to Virginia for her next deployment.

I just can't say enough about how delicious the food is here and what awesome service they give…read more Because of this I can understand why this restaurant has been here for 20 plus years. To start they always serve their fresh bread with a tapenade and the delicious locally made Ohannsen olive oil. Tonight the Baramundi was on special. I always order it if they have it. It is lightly sautéed served over capellini, sauté of spinach and a creamy sauce of lemon, capers & artichoke. To die for! It is the best seafood dish I have ever had. My Dad ordered the lamb lollipop special, it was mouth watering. It's too bad that isn't on their regularly menu. It was succulent and cooked to perfection served with a saffron risotto. They serve dinner only but it is a romantic environment, great for a date night as well. If you haven't been, don't wait, go enjoy one of Bakersfield's finest Italian restaurants.

Three of us enjoyed: Chicken Artichoke Penne, Cannelloni, and a small Rosa's Special pizza. Everything arrived hot and delicious. While other establishments are raising prices somehow Rosa's offers amazing options at a reasonable price. 1/2 carafe of the Chianti in chilled glasses for $14 is a perfect example. Rosa's is such a cool neighborhood restaurant and it was fun seeing so many families enjoying a meal together.

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 !

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!
