I have been ordering from Slice of Italy for years and have recommended this place to plenty of…read morefamily and friends. Unfortunately, after this experience, I will not be ordering from them again. We placed an online order for two large pizzas with pepperoni and olives. When the order was delivered, both pizzas were plain cheese. Mistakes happen, and this has happened a few times over the years, but in the past they corrected the issue and delivered the correct pizzas. This time was completely different. When we called to explain the problem, the woman on the phone argued with my wife instead of trying to help. She kept saying their system showed that we ordered cheese pizzas, so that is what we received. There was no attempt to listen, verify the receipt, or resolve the issue professionally. We ended up bringing the receipt and the pizzas back to the restaurant, and even then they continued to insist they were right. The staff was rude, dismissive, and unwilling to take responsibility for the mistake. After several back-and-forth comments, they finally issued a refund, but the entire situation was handled terribly. I understand that order mistakes happen. What is unacceptable is arguing with a customer, refusing to look at the actual receipt, and treating long-time customers like they are the problem. After years of supporting this business, this experience completely changed my opinion of Slice of Italy. I will not be returning, and I will make sure others know how poorly this situation was handled.

One of our very first Bakersfield meals, taken as a much-needed break from house hunting chaos was…read moreat Slice of Italy (Rosedale), and honestly, it still holds a soft spot for us. After a long day of "Is this the house?" and "Why is everything beige?", sitting down to a comforting plate of pasta felt like exactly what we needed. As someone plant-based, I was genuinely happy to find a rich, spicy, savory red sauce that didn't feel like an afterthought and even better, it could be customized. Small win, big flavor. The service has always been warm, cozy and welcoming, which is probably why this has quietly become one of my husband and my go-to spots when cooking at home feels like just a little too much effort. Is it fancy? No. Is it reliable, tasty, and tied to one of our first memories here? Absolutely. And sometimes, that's exactly what you want. My husband is a fan of their Combination pizza!

I passed through Bakersfield and wanted to get some dinner and came across this place on yelp as…read morethe highest rated in the area and decided to give it a try. This establishment only has a drive-through or outdoor seating but it shares a parking lot with a Mexican restaurant and it was quite busy and I also did not have too much time so I decided to go through the drive-through I was a little confused about the drive-thru because there are two restaurants in one one is an Italian restaurant and one is a Mexican restaurant. I was wondering if I was in the correct line but you can order from either restaurant on either lane of the drive-thru. When I pulled up to the speaker, the menu is extremely extensive and overwhelming, but I knew that I wanted pasta, but I was very tempted by the Mexican food choices as well. I could not decide between trying the fettuccine or the pesto pasta I asked the lady at the speaker which one she preferred and she said why not get both since one is 1795 and for two it's $20. It only made logical sense to try both. I decided to try the fettuccine with shrimp and the pesto with chicken even though I prefer it without any protein, but it comes included so why not? After receiving my food, I found a parking spot and decided to try a little bit of each pasta. They were both piping hot, even too hot to hold, but also so fresh and delicious. They came with a white toast with some type of garlic butter smeared on one side. The toast was nothing special, but the pastas were delicious especially the fettuccine with the shrimp. The shrimp was cooked to perfection and I really enjoyed the pesto on the penny. They have a large selection of pastas so I definitely wanna bring my family so I can try more options and then come back and try their Mexican food as well. The place was very popular and the drive-thru had a very long line the whole time I was there kind of like In-N-Out. This speaks highly of the restaurant. The drive-thru attendance were very kind and helpful so I will definitely be back.

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.

A layer of Al dente capellini covered in sautéed spinach is the bed for the Barramundi, a divine tangy lemony caper sauce with a confetti of diced tomatoes and artichoke leaves tops the fish. They have an Old school vibe. Cloth covered tables. Cloth napkins, dimmed lights but not dark. Old school music in the background. Pet peeve! No reflection on the restaurant. Please people don't wear so much fragrance in a restaurant that everyone smells you as you walk by. A couple was seated right next to me and I had to stop eating and take my meal home because I couldn't taste or smell my splendid meal. I only stayed a little longer to finish my glass of Pino. Even with my nose in the glass I could still smell her fragrance!

We were headed home and stopped in for a bite to eat. We ordered the Caesar Salad, Fettuccine…read moreCarbonara, and Meat Lasagna. The Caesar salad is exceptional with house-made dressing and a generous amount of shaved Parm. The Fettuccine Carbonara though not a true traditional carbonara due to the use of cream as a stabilizer and prosciutto rather than guanciale, is delicious as well. The lasagna was delicious and kept us going back for more until we had no room left after consuming the table bread. The staff is friendly, attentive, and accommodating along with an inviting yet buttoned atmosphere. The restaurant is clean and dimly like t with each table fitted with a lamp for dining. The restrooms are clean as well. The bad reviews here are not a reflection of our experience and we will return again when we're in the area.

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.
