We split the spaghetti with meat sauce topped with grilled chicken, and it was absolutely delicious--perfectly cooked pasta, rich and flavorful meat sauce, and tender grilled chicken on top. We both loved it and kept saying how awesome it was. It also came with a little piece of bread that was really good too. Best part? The food was ready right when we got there, hot and fresh. Great portion size for sharing, excellent taste, and super convenient. We'll definitely be back! Highly recommend Pasta Bowls if you're craving quality Italian food done right.

The restaurant hours on all platforms I have seen clearly state the hours are until 10 PM. Why is…read moreit that every time we visit this location at 8:45, the employees say the kitchen is closed and we can only get one drink? I mentioned it to one of the female employees and she shrugged it off and said, "it's been like this for two years...," as if that's acceptable? A gentleman even walked in only to get a beer on a Thursday evening at 9:10 PM and she argued with him that they were closed. I had one beer and was SO disturbed about the service and attitude that we asked for our bill at 9:05, because they were closed after all, right? We've always come to this location, since our kids were younger and even order delivery often because we love the chicken, but honestly, the false advertisement and attitude towards our walking in at 8:45 from the female employee , (when the hours everywhere clearly state closing is at 10 PM,) we won't be coming here as our go-to pizza spot or late night night cap. Such a shame because we've been supporting this spot since it opened.

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.

The drive thru was convenient and quick, but Olive Garden prices for pasta that I could get from a drive thru is wiiiild. I had heard such great things about Pasta Bowls, but the Cajun Chicken Penne was mid. The pasta tasted bland and dry. Some bites were somewhat more flavorful when I got more sauce on the penne, but it was still underwhelming. If I come back, I hope to try their other pastas for a better experience.

I am writing to share my disappointment with a recent experience at Frugatti's. I chose your…read morerestaurant for my birthday dinner with a friend because I was hoping to enjoy a special evening. When we arrived, the hostess asked whether we were celebrating a special occasion. After I told her it was my birthday, she asked if I would like our server to know. I happily said yes because it was a special day. Unfortunately, the service and food did not meet our expectations. It took nearly 20 minutes to receive water and soda. Although bread was brought to the table, we had nothing to drink with it. My soup was cold, and my soda was overly syrupy and sweet. When our entrées arrived, I did not have a fork. Because our server never returned to check on us, getting one was unnecessarily difficult. My friend also wanted Parmesan cheese to add flavor to her pasta, but we eventually had to ask another waitress because our server did not come back. Our drinks were never refilled, and no one checked to see whether we were enjoying our meals or needed anything. What made the experience especially disappointing was that no one acknowledged my birthday, even though we heard other guests being celebrated at nearby tables. It also took a long time to receive our check, and by that point, the interaction felt rushed and forced, as though the staff simply wanted us to leave. I understand that restaurants can become busy and that an occasional delay may happen. However, the combination of slow and inattentive service, cold food, missing utensils, and the lack of any birthday acknowledgment made this a particularly disappointing way to spend my birthday. We genuinely miss the quality of the food and service we experienced at the previous location. I hope you will take this feedback seriously so that future guests--especially those choosing Frugatti's for a special occasion--receive the warm and attentive experience they expect.

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.

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.

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.
