17 Best Italian Restaurants in Bakersfield

“I’ve always enjoyed the food and the Luigi’s experience and last night just added to that! I hosted a surprise party in their warehouse and it was phenomenal! Their staff is amazing! From start to finish, they delivered! From their detailed-oriented event coordinator, Lis Clarke, to their friendly, attentive, and fun staff—I am thoroughly impressed! All of my large events will be held at Luigi’s from now on!“

“Stopped in for lunch, and was amazing as always. We’re a Frequent Foodie at Frugatti’s, because of the great service, food, and atmosphere. Don’t skip the dessert, you definitely need that. We met the owner, Ralph, today. It was fun to discuss his future plans and his passion for perfection. Best lace to eat in Bakersfield, hands down.“

“Really good from the moment you walk in. Greeted by a beautiful woman with a beautiful smile. The waiter was engaged and helpful. The food was fantastic and the wine selection so good I bought and drank a bottle. Shocked an Italian Restaurant this good, in of all places, Bakersfield.“

“Great dinner tonight. Great service from Jennifer Noblia. Love Urrichios’s!❤️“

“My husband and I have been regulars here for a while. The food and service here is just amazing. my favorite is the chicken marsala and lobster ravioli. Liz is the best waitress there hands down. Always so friendly! I can't recommend this place enough.“

“Little Italy is our favorite “date night” restaurant. Owner, Chang and his staff always deliver a 5-star meal and extraordinary service. I usually order the chicken francaise, but I tried the halibut last visit and absolutely loved it. The location appears underwhelming in a strip mall, but once you step inside, you will feel like a VIP. My wife also highly recommends the lemon drop martini.“

“The food is excellent, and I particularly love their pesto sauce. Thank you to the Hostess, Lauren, for taking such good care of me today. The pesto sauce is out of this world. I tried picking up some sauce the other day and they were out. I mentioned that I would come back this weekend when they add some more. I walked in there today and it was already waiting for me. Lauren absolutely 💯 took care of me. Thank you!“

“Love the food and atmosphere- Live Music occasionally ;)“

“I have been coming to this location for many years, and have always received pretty decent service, but the last time we visited, they were extremely busy, and regardless of how busy they were, we received some of the most impeccable service I've ever seen at a restaurant!
I feel bad that I can't remember our server's name, but we made sure to talk to a Manager on our way out.
He was quick on his feet, checked in on us frequently, went out of his way to make sure that the birthday we were celebrating didn't go unnoticed, and had an infectiously cheerful vibe.
I seriously can't imagine a single thing he could have done differently that would have enhanced the experience any further!
If all servers took lessons from him, I would probably go broke pretty quickly!
Needless to say, I'll be looking for him next time we visit.
If anyone knows his name, PLEASE let me know. I would like to acknowledge him by name on here to give him the accolades he deserves!“

“very simple the food is amazing atmosphere is just laid back you can take your family there or you can take a date there again the food is just perfect everything is clean the bathrooms are clean it's good to have a place like this in Bakersfield my son just came back he's a Marine and the first thing he said let's go to a slice of Italy 🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸“

“Cool vibe and good service“

“My husband and I tried this spot for lunch yesterday. Very friendly service and food was fresh. We both got a giant slice, and I added a side salad to mine. We both wish the pizza had more sauce on it. Very, very lightly sauced. In our opinion, that is what’s keeping this place from being a 10 out of 10 for us.“

“I went to Pasta Bowls for the first time today! It will not be my last time! ❤️ Not only is the pesto cream fettuccine and bread delicious but the staff are so great! I absolutely enjoyed my experience and will recommend Pasta Bowls to everyone! P.S. I was able to try the new spicy spinach dip and it was delicious 😋😁 Keep up the good work!“

“The best sandwich shop in Bakersfield hands down 😋🥪“

“I love this store and pizza they make here. The people are super friendly and very helpful. When I went there I had no clue what to order and only had so much to work with. A guy named Thomas was super patient with me and helped me get exactly what I wanted. The ranch they make is amazing and even when I don’t buy food from them I stop in and get some.“

“Small deli with good selection of menu items. Sandwich prices average $10 each for good size sandwich. My husband got a hot pastrami sandwich which he said was very good. I got a Spicy Chicken Chipotle sandwich which was awesome. Will definitely return.“
