Luigi's Restaurant and Delicatessen offers an authentic Italian dining experience with a cozy atmosphere. The menu features a variety of pasta dishes, including the popular spaghetti and meatballs, as well as a selection of sandwiches. The food is described as delicious, with the lasagna and wild mushroom ravioli with brown butter sage receiving high praise. The staff is friendly and the ambiance is family-friendly. Customers are encouraged to try the specials, with the French Dip Sandwiches on Thursdays being a particular favorite. For the more adventurous, the pickled tongue appetizer is also recommended. The restaurant is often busy, particularly during the noon rush, but the service remains efficient. According to recent reviews, Luigi's is known for its wonderful Arnold Palmers and the third-generation family operator, Gino, does a great job running the establishment. Customers praise the authentic Italian dining experience and the historical atmosphere of this Bakersfield gem.
