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.
Cozy & warm trattoria decorated to feel like a quaint village & serving Italian favorites.

The atmosphere and service is superb. Met with an old friend and it was the perfect spot. Loved our waitress. Unfortunately I chose the classic lasagna and I was so looking forward to it but it was extremely greesy and I only ate a quarter of it. I tried it the next day and I took two bites had to throw it away.

We had an incredible dining experience at Frugatti. The food was top-notch, with rich flavors and perfectly prepared pasta. We particularly enjoyed some of the dishes that tasted truly homemade. But of them , need a better presentation, for example, Filet tip Over Fettucini AlfredoOur server, Michelle, was attentive and friendly, and the cozy atmosphere made it the perfect setting for our diner with co-workers. We’ll be back for sure.

I love this place. Found this hidden gem online while in the area for work. I’m now actively seeking other jobs in the area just so I can’t return. I’ve taken three of my co-workers here and all agree this is one of the most not just Italian, but amazing restaurants I’ve had the pleasure to frequent. Never had a meal that wasn’t amazing. Not a single trip where the staff didn’t go out of their way to make us feel welcome and appreciated. I highly recommend this place if you’re in the area.

In Bakersfield for a church conference. Staying at Home2 Suites across the street. Went to dinner at Frugattis. Got there about 5:30ish. Busy but not a long wait for a table. Our waitress, Dawn, was fabulous. The food was amazing. My steak was cooked to perfection. Everything was so good. By the time we left there were dozens of people waiting to be seated. If we lived here, we’d be in trouble because I’d want to eat here all the time.

Frugatti’s Restaurant is the longest relationship I’ve had with any Italian restaurant here locally — over 9 years of visits and they’ve consistently delivered on both taste and atmosphere. Dining here feels like stepping into a place with a rich history, where the flavors are as comforting as the environment.
The service has always been warm and attentive, the drinks are crafted with quality, and the desserts seal the experience perfectly. It’s a place that never disappoints and always welcomes you back like family.

Garrett was my server tonight. This was my first visit here and I was recommended to come here by a new acquaintance. She said it was her favorite Italian restaurant! Well, on Garrett’s recommendation, I ordered the shrimp scampi. Oh my gosh, the pasta and the shrimp were unbelievable. I finished off the evening with Mama’s carrot cake. Fresh sponge with creamy icing. Just perfect. If you are looking for great Italian fair and great service, check out Frigatti’s in Bakersfield. You won’t regret it!

Service was good, but the food has gone downhill. What used to be a full plate is now just the idea that it once was. I’ve ordered this meal many times and have never been disappointed. I ordered the caprese salad, which used to be a full plate of deliciousneas and is now the equivalent of 1 tomato for $16.59. see the picture in case you are wondering. Each tomato didn’t even have its own slice of mozzarella. No seasoning. Olive garden would have at least been filling.

I loved the shrimp fettuccine it was delicious , everyone else in my table complained about their steaks not being cooked how they wanted it. Instead of returning it they just ate it because they were hungry overall we had a good dinner. I think the place is really nice and cute. The walls in the place need cleaning.

Wonderful atmosphere and the food is very good. The Stuffed Mushrooms and Filet Tip Caesar are must haves.
Edit: Back again and had the Braciole. It was fantastic. Be aware, it is alot of food! You could probably split it with your date, if youre willing to give up one of the Braciole.
