It is a pretty popular location, and there were plenty of people during the time we were there. We were seated in a booth and even recognized people in the table next to us! The interior design is very similar to their other location. Very chic, modern, and clean. I ordered The Girlfriend burger which had a Wagyu patty with arugula, horseradish, grilled onions, bacon jalapeño jam, gorgonzola, and creamy garlic aioli with a side of their regular fries. The presentation was great, but the flavor packed into this burger was incredible. The sweetness from the jam paired with the creaminess of the aioli blended together so well! I love pickles, so I was happy to see a pickle spear on the board as a nice touch. The fries were perfectly seasoned and were a nice mix between wedge fries and regular fries. So if you're stuck trying to decide on a burger from Sonder, I'd recommend this one!

Sliced tomatoes were too thinly sliced. Mashed potatoes lacked flavor and fluffiness. Muscato wasn't sweet enough and in fact tasted like a white Pinot gregio- dry and light. Ambience was a modern design being used currently, modernish chairs, curved upholstered booths, lots of natural light coming in during the day. Light fixtures modern hanging from ceiling.

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.

Back in the 90's, they were…read morerather popular down in San Diego County and I would visit a couple places on a regular basis. Fast forward to September of 2026, and my wife and I decided we wanted to go to Flame and Fire for their Friday lunch offerings. We both opted for the Rodizio and Market table offering and were definitely not disappointed. The market table featured classic Brazilian food offerings, such as black beans, salads, various peppers, olives along with not so typical fare; lobster bisque and steamed salmon. Our server was very attentive, answering any question we had and brought our beverages promptly and provided refills on iced tea and water without the need for a request. The Gauchos (the servers bringing the meats) had an excellent cycle time in walking through the restaurant with their selections. Everyone was friendly and genuine with their smiles and conversation. The meat selection for Friday lunch was as follows; garlic steak (super flavorful and tender), tri-tip, Portuguese style linguiça sausage, lamb (my wife's favorite), grilled pineapple and of course the Queen of any Rodizio, Picanha. (I could wax poetic about my love for Picanha but I won't in this review.) We ended our wonderful meal with a shared slice of cheesecake with a strawberry sauce drizzle. The cheesecake was delicious and definitely served in portion meant to be shared. My wife described it as a "cinder block sized slice." All in all, we were both extremely happy with our experience at Flame and Fire and have plans to make this a place we will continue to visit.

The buffet items such as rice with stroganoff was delicious. The salmon was amazing. The lobster bisque was simply devine. The unlimited meat and food they bring around from table to table was hit and miss. I loved the bbq chicken wings in many flavors, the beef was excellent in many options. But my absolutely favorite, believe it or not was the bbq pineapple. I need a moment to myself when I eat it, I close my eyes and enjoy. I swear it is mind blowing. It is simple ingredients that just pare together to perfection, I am in my happy place when I eat it. The severs were very friendly and helpful. The manager was very involved and even at times serving the cooked cheese and making sure everyone was satisfied. I felt truly taken care of. Yes at times we were waiting awhile to get the meats but that is to be expected when they have to keep cooking it and going from table to table. Over all I was very satisfied and would definitely go back. The manager even braught us a lamp to our table when it got slightly darker and the lightning inside is dim to provide a romantic ambiance. That was very helpful and enhanced the experience. The manager was one of the most involved managers I have ever seen. I can't say enough about him, 100% doing a great job. Protip: as in any buffet occasion, come very hungry so you can atleast attempt to get your money's worth. It is not cheap but in my opinion as long as you eat enough, the price is worth it because its all you can eat quality food.

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.

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

I saw fairly positive reviews from locals so I thought my Mom and I would check it out. Unfortunately, we came out underwhelmed. My Mom's order was totally hijacked. She ordered a specific meal alongside mine. Later, when my meal was ready and served, we get a surprise. Our waiter states he forgot to tell her they ran out of the meal she wanted! So here I am with my hot meal and I have to pick at it in front of my Mom while she has to wait all over again! My food started getting cold because I didn't want to be a jerk and eat my whole meal in front of her. Unfortunately, my Mom had to order something she didn't want. Once the food finally came out (shrimp fajitas), we find that her shrimp was NOT properly cleaned. I thought they were tightwads with the amount of shrimp they gave her, she could've received more. Our waiter apologized, but he started to avoid us out of embarrassment, this wasn't very professional. Our meal was awkward because it sucked seeing my Mom disappointed and unsatisfied. The ambiance was pretty quiet, so this made it extra uncomfortable. Overall, I won't be back soon as I don't live near Bakersfield. My food wasn't bad (green enchiladas), it was actually pretty good. However, due to the bad impression from the service and weak communication of the staff, I wouldn't be back soon even if I lived close. Casa Mariachi really needs to work out the kinks.
