Frugatti's
About the Company

With the help of our dedicated staff, we want to offer the best Italian dining experience in Bakersfield and I’m lucky enough to know what a real Italian dining experience should be! Growing up in Grumento Nova, Italy, I remember going with my mother to the local baker’s shop on weekends to use his wood-burning oven to bake our bread and pizza. “Nonni,” as my kids called my mom, was an incredible cook and to this day, her pizza remains the best I’ve ever tasted. She instilled in me a love of Southern Italian cooking that became the inspiration for Frugatti’s.

Went here on 01/06/2025 for my 18th birthday! Off the gate, noticed a very appealing looking restaurant from the outside, and in. We were pleased to have Andrew J as our server. Not only was he friendly, easy to talk to, humorous, and knowledgeable, but he did his job exceedingly well. No complaints. Andrew even smoothly asked our occasion for dining in at Frugatti’s, which we then let him know of was for my 18th birthday, so, after my entree, Andrew gave me a choice of any dessert I wanted, helped me make my choice based off of a couple of factors, and him and the crew sang my Happy Birthday! Andrew, if you’re seeing this, thank you for making my birthday dinner enjoyable, and most importantly, memorable!

Prefer Buca di Beppo.

Sicilian pizza was not the correct style. Lobster pasta was served with mashed potatoes.

The appetizer sampler, the spicy chicken was chewy and not spicy. The stuffed mushrooms were stale and lacked flavor.

The check in process was ok. Our server kept forgetting parmesan cheese.

I got the shrimp fettuccine for pick up and I can't believe I paid $30 for this flavorless disappointment. At least the shrimps were good.

When I interacted with the wait staff for pickup, they seemed a little standoffish because I had a mask covering my face. Well I'll have you know that I am getting over the literal flu, and I am still symptomatic, and very possibly contagious.

Also turn off that god awful Christmas music for goodness sake.

My only complaint is the same as others. It took way too long to get our food. We were sitting 1.5 hours before our food came. The chicken on my salad was barely warm and my oven baked pasta was cool enough to handle the dish. The food was still fantastic though. The tortellini was good and the sirloin (arrived after our other dishes) was thick and cooked correct. The staff were friendly and the decor was very nice. We also sat way too long waiting for our check. Honestly, the food was good but not sure I would go back.

Came here with my friend because I love pasta and everyone in town raves about this place. I ordered the wood grilled salmon with red pepper sauce and it wasn't the greatest. The sauce had an overwhelming taste of pepper and garlic which overpowered the dish. For the price of the food I expected better quality. I spent 50 dollars on just a plate of fish, potatoes, asparagus, and a slice of cheesecake. Would not recommend

I'm giving a three-star on the service because we were a very large party and it took quite a while just to get drink to wash down the bread. Also our party had reservations for 11:00 a.m. we were there until 12:30. Keep in mind if you're there during the winter time it can get very cold in the big back room. When we got there they had the heaters on but then they got turned off and it got very cold. I regretted leaving my jacket I highly recommend you bring your jacket with you they didn't bother to turn the heaters back on. Also I'm giving the two star on the food because the fettuccine alfredo hardly had any sauce, what little sauce there was, was at the bottom of the plate after I was scooping what I didn't eat until my take-home bowl. Learn and observe from uriccio's and how they serve their fettuccine alfredo with plenty of sauce. I think this restaurant is overrated.

Here in Bakersfield on business and felt like some Italian food, read the great reviews and headed out to Frugattis. On a Tuesday night at 6 pm this place already had a ton of people waiting to be seated (thought to myself definitely a good sign). Thankfully they had a bar with a couple open seats so I hopped on in, ordered some beers and just enjoyed the ambiance for a bit before ordering. Asked the Bartender (who's name I can't remember, but he was impeccable with his service and quick to refill my beers) for a side of pasta sauce to go with my bread, very happy I did this as sauce was incredible a d a easure to dip into. Then decided to order one of their specials on the menu and ohhhh my, this plate came presented beautifully and was the definition of bountiful. Very pleased with my meal as the food, ambiance and the service, will definitely be returning to Frugattis again while I'm still in town for Business.

Service is phenomenal. I was truly impressed at the quality of service I received from the waiter. I have never felt that before another. For sure one of a kind.

The atmosphere did make me feel like I was in Italy. I've never been there but I would imagine it to feel like that.

Food I give it 5 stars because I'm not into Italian food so I'm not sure what good Italian food taste like or what to try (menu does show Fugattis favorites). Italian food gives me heartburn.

This is one of our favorite restaurants, I have shared many positive comments about this place, but my experience today unfortunately was not great, other than the food, it was great.
Let me start with today is our 40 th wedding anniversary, and we had reservations with them aware we were celebrating a special day for us.
We arrive and check in, we were rushed to the table. And it was a table, not a booth, no welcome to us, at all, we get seated and ask for a booth as it’s our Anniversary, they did move us, but the rest of experience was less that warm, no introduction, no welcoming table chat, it was rushed. After finishing, a box dropped off for us to take care of, asked for menu for dessert, it was set on table, no reference at all on anything, we decided to pass on desert, we had to bribe for a photo at the front door, just not a nice, place to celebrate our special day. Unfortunately it left us feeling less than welcomed to there place to celebrate, I believe it will be awhile before we try this out again. The former location always made us feel special on our days to celebrate, it’s the little things that make you feel special. I hope this falls it the right area to see, as food was good, just everything else not great. Just sharing our experience, and I hope it helps someone realize some people only go out on special occasions, and miss feeling appreciated or excited about sharing meal here.

Stepping into Frugatti’s restaurant felt like being enveloped in a warm embrace. The inviting atmosphere immediately set the tone for an unforgettable evening. From the very beginning, the staff radiated genuine warmth, making us feel truly valued and appreciated, which laid the foundation for a memorable experience.

The evening was perfectly guided by our attentive waiter, Ali, whose consistent excellence shone through as he recommended a delightful Pinot Noir that paired beautifully with our meal. Each sip was a reminder of how well he understood the menu, enhancing our dining adventure.

The highlight of the night was undoubtedly the manager, Elliot. With his charming demeanor, he effortlessly engaged us in small talk that felt warm and personal. His recommendations, particularly the spicy parmesan chicken things, sparked our curiosity and excitement. With a knack for making every guest feel special, Elliot masterfully evoked a sense of nostalgia reminiscent of days gone by—when owners and chefs would wander through the dining room, checking on their guests, remembering names, and genuinely inquiring about their experiences.

His dedication to maintaining a high standard was obvious as he frequently checked in on our feedback, creating a seamless blend of attentiveness and warmth that made the evening truly special. As we left Frugatti’s with full stomachs and smiles lighting our faces, it was clear that this exceptional experience was the result of a passionate team. We are already looking forward to our next visit for another amazing date night!

My gal friends and I went for a simple and small birthday dinner. Our waitress took a bit of a minute but it was a full house; it was understandable. I think her name was haile? She has blond hair, glasses, and neon green nails. She was absolutely amazing, she was attentive and would check in to refill or if we wanted any deserts or anything else to order. She was supper sweet. Food didn't take long to arrive to our table and everything was delicious. My girlfriends had the lasagna and the shrimp garlic pasta I believe. The portions are big I will say but it works out since it can be saved for lunch for the following day or shared. Overall I had a great experience and will be back in the near future with my family.

Un italiano americanizzato
Porzioni abbondanti, prezzi nella media della california, nel complesso buono. Per i nostri gusti, c'era troppa cipolla nel sugo e non amiamo la salsiccia con il finocchietto nella lasagna (che non è alla bolognese). Fare scarpetta con pane e olio è comune, ma l'olio deve essere di qualità (e questo non lo era). Pro e contro che ti fanno sentire profumo di casa (ma molto da lontano). Cameriere che sta addosso

The food was amazing with massive portions which means lunch and dinner for me. Prices were extremely fair considering the quality and quantity of the food and the impeccable service (I don't think my glass stayed empty for more than a couple of minutes each time). The wait staff were friendly. Even the portable restrooms were clean, air conditioned and classy instead of what you'd normally see at the fair, swap meet, etc. and I personally appreciate that because we brought our kids and my autistic 5 year old is scared to death of the other kind and would have cried. We did get a little overstimulated by the echo but that is absolutely an us problem and nobody is responsible for that. Had it been a cooler day I believe the patio would have been a great option instead. I can't wait to come back and try again!

This restaurant offers an exceptional Italian dining experience that I highly recommend. The menu is extensive, featuring everything you could imagine from Italian cuisine. Their Margherita pizza is particularly noteworthy, made with dough imported from Naples, which adds an authentic touch to this classic dish.

During a recent dinner with colleagues, we were impressed by the variety and quality of the dishes. The baked cheese dishes, diverse pasta options, and a unique beef entrée wrapped in pasta all looked spectacular. I opted for the salmon in a tomato cream sauce, accompanied by asparagus and potatoes, and it was outstanding—perfectly cooked and delicious.

Frugatti's also caters to those who prefer lighter fare later in the day, offering a light menu with smaller portions. I appreciated being able to enjoy a half-sized portion of their lemon cheesecake, which was a delightful blend of rich and light flavors with a hint of lemon zest.

The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with friendly staff and a spacious dining area. They have an impressive wine collection on display, adding to the overall ambiance. It's evident that a lot of care and attention to detail goes into every aspect of the dining experience here.

Overall, Frugatti's provides a memorable and authentic Italian dining experience, and I look forward to visiting again. Highly recommend!

I ordered the garlic chicken fettuccine Alfredo. It comes with red bell peppers and almonds. I thought the almonds were weird at first, but they complimented the dish quite nice. The bread is soft and fresh. The customer service was great. It was clean, and the vibe was chill. I gave a 4 for food because my food was good, but it wasn't anything spectacular. It's also expensive. My plate was $26, but if you eat enough bread, you can have leftovers for the next day. The plate is big enough to share with someone. I ate here for my birthday and they let you select a dessert for free so I chose the cheese cake which was good. They also sing to you.

I’m so sad! We had a large party of 13. While service was pretty good our food was terrible! I noticed a lot of unfinished food at the table but specifically the Roman artichoke angel hair pasta was nothing more than a cold pile of pasta with 4 pieces of artichoke…literally just pasta..no salt.. no oil & no flavor. I wish I had said something altho a good server will ask why you aren’t eating. My partners spicy shrimp pasta wasn’t any better & he told the server that the shrimp were slimy & fishy smelling. Fun fact our server started to say they get that a lot but caught himself 🤔 Bread & salad with creamy Italian were as I remembered but it’s just way too much $$ for the food here

The food was delicious. The wait time wasn’t bad. Our waiter Andrew was amazing, very friendly and very helpful when substituting food and recommending food. The one maybe bad thing is the noise level but besides that it was an excellent experience. The atmosphere around the restaurant was beautiful from pictures to the lights and the whole set up of the restaurant was something special.

I gave 2 stars because the food was good. But, don’t waste your time making a reservation, they don’t honor it. They make you wait just like everyone else. Plus, they are so busy the customer service suffers. Is great to see a restaurant busy and doing well. But save yourself the bad customer service and order take out, they have that option.

Had a 4 o'clock reservation, had to wait 30 minutes to b seated. You would think they would have our table ready. Finally seated, we got our bread right away but waited another 30min to get a drink order in and receiving our drinks 25 min later. Our waiter finally came back to take food order. We waited 45 mins for our food and when we got it, it was cold and pasta dried out. Granddaughters mac n cheese was in one huge dried out lump. YUK! Here is the clincher, I had a chicken in mushroom sauce dish and about half way through I find a 3 to 4 inch black hair in it. I discreetly showed and told the waiter, he said sorry and walked away. He came back 20 min later and asked me if I wanted a to go box for my chicken. Uumm no it has a hair in it. He handed me the check and there was no discount for the hair. Needless to say not very pleased with service or food. But I will say the restaurant itself was really nice. First time we have been there and not impressed.

Food was excellent, expect to eat your meal while your shouting across the table. We ate in the patio area and it was extremely loud.

Atmosphere was beautiful, Meals needed salt, our waitress was nice but some waiters were standoffish, Childs Mac n cheese is obviously box/kraft Mac and cheese and they sold it for 10.00.

I went with my daughter last night. We were told the wait was a 45-55 minutes and ended up waiting about 90 minutes.
I’ll say the staff up front stood in the pocket and took the bullets from hungry diners admirably, though I understood there was little they can do short of pulling the chairs out from under the diners who were lingering at their table for an extended time.

The food was/is incredible. Our server Roxy was attentive and hustling.

My suggestion would be to get a reservation a day or so in advance if you have a larger party. We left with smiles and will return better prepared to avoid an extended wait.

This place was BUSY but I was flying solo and willing to sit in the patio so avoided the 30+ min wait. Service was fast and professional, food was delicious, portions were HUGE. What more do you want?

I ordered to go , and they gave me the wrong order. I didn't check my order. I got home, 7.2 miles away, and then noticed the wrong order.when I I called, they said that they knew and said keep the wrong one, a calazone, not a pizza and if I wanted to come back my pizza was waiting. I went back because that is what I wanted! Wasn't happy having to drive another 15 miles round trip for my dinner

Great food. We have been going to Sorella's since the 1990's since it's close to home. Havn't been to Frugatti's for years. Tried the new location for the first time. Great atmosphere, beautiful restaurant, super fresh ingredients at every level. Our server Laura gave us great service. Have been in the restaurant business for many years making me extremely selective and limited to just a few places for dining out. Fruggatti's will be our Italian stop on a regular basis from now on. Keep up the good work.
