Uricchio's Trattoria

VERY busy tonight for lovers' day, but we weren't in a hurry. We were seated in the "wine room" (always preferred) and our server was Jennifer. As always, everything from ambiance, to food, and service was terrific! We usually reserve this for special occasions and boy, are they always special!

This review goes out to Emily. She's been a server there for 3 years, and I hope that she's here for 30 years, so I can celebrate my 100th birthday! Don't laugh, my mom lived to be 99 1/2 and my father, a WWII Veteran who received a medal for helping to liberate the Philippines, lived to be 92, Like me and the rest of my family, we've been coming here for over 30 years! Papa Nick, a culinary legend, used to carry our precious infant around the restaurant, we could enjoy our delicious, classic Italian dinner, without interruption. She took to him, and loved him, as we all did. Fortunately, his incredible family took over the business, after he and his wife passed away. Emily our server, and Brian, the 3rd generation part-owner, are a perfect example of why we keep coming here for special occasions, or any time we crave their pasta dishes, with meat sauce,

First time here and definitely not the last! Had family in town celebrating a few birthdays and this place was recommended online and they commented on the post saying they would love to host us and that's what drew us in. Being from out of state, I had never heard of sand dabs before. It was one of the best meals I've ever had. The staff was super friendly, they met us walking out to our car after dinner to offer a birthday dessert on the house after already giving us a free appetizer. Nice place for a romantic dinner or just really good Italian. We will be back!

I'm not going to lie, I was highly disappointed about tonight's dinner. We decided to celebrate our 33rd anniversary tonight instead of Wednesday. I had bought tickets to Joy Koy a few months ago and knew I needed to find a restaurant before the concert. A week ago I made the reservations, I let them know it was our anniversary and wanted a nice table inside. I picked this place because it had been a long time since we've been here. And we use to come here back in the mid 90's, a lot. So we get there, the parking is always awful. But we finally found one. We walked in, wasn't greeted, then taken to our small table up against the window. I don't ever remember all the tables being so close to one another. To the point that walking in between tables people have to scoot the chairs so you're not bumping in to them. Our waiter came over, very nice and very busy. We went ahead and got our drinks and put in an order for bruschetta. The waiter said it should take 15-20 minutes to come out, said okay no problem. So we ordered a cup of chowder, and ordered our entrees. My husband ordered the lobster ravioli, and I ordered the chicken piccata with alfredo ravioli. We actually got our bruschetta before our chowder. It looked nothing like we remembered or tasted. The bread was very soggy and it tasted like old ingredients. Do not recommend! The claim chowder was very good. We got our entrees and I about laughed right in front of the waiter. You will see in the picture. My chicken was very thin and smaller than the palm of my hand. I should have said something, I don't know why I didn't. I will say the flavor of both the chicken and alfredo ravioli was good. My husband did not care for the sauce on the lobster ravioli. I want to also point out that the bread they served us was hard and came in a basket they serve chips in at a Mexican restaurant. What happened to the nice baskets and was the bread was covered up? The menus look like a dinner menu, what happened to the really nice menus that you use to open up? For a restaurant that looks and feels classy and upscale, you need to do better. I also want to point out that your windows need to be cleaned. Please don't sit people next to dirty windows. And no it wasn't on the outside or in between the windows. We tried to relive our past and it was a fail. Sorry to say we won't be back.

I'm not sure why, but nothing feels more privileged than to have lunch outside on the patio of Uricchio's with a glass of wine, watching the world go by.This is a place where they treat you like family. Mica, our server, knows we're going to enjoy a leisurely meal. My wife got the Eggplant Parm. I opted for the Penne Puttunesca. Brian brought out some cheesy bread to nibble on. While we waited, we ordered a glass of wine. They have an excellent selection of reds.My wife says the Eggplant Parmesan is delicious. The chef cooked my penne to perfection. The sauce was flavorful, but not overpowering.Do yourself a favor, if the weather is nice, try lunch outside in downtown Bakersfield.

I was craving pasta as I didn't like the other foods choices. I went with linguine and clams. It was clearly disappointed. The clams were not fresh at all. The mini clams were probably from a can. And the sauce was way too thick. It should just be wine, garlic, and clam juice. What's up with all thickness? I wonder if it's cream? Anyway, the pasta is a little too soft. I was a little disappointed. The service was excellent. The restaurant is beautiful.

First time here and I would really like to give kudos to our server! I believe her name was Jennifer. Very sweet, attentive, and provided such great customer service. I ensure to tip her accordingly as well ( ps I do not tip just to tip. I tip based on service and the service from Jennifer was definitely deserved) The food definitely exceeded my expectations. Both my boyfriend and I left feeling very satisfied with our overall experience. If there could be one minor takeaway it would be the table we were sat at. We tested the table next to us to see if it was just our table but it wasn't. A few of the tables were unleveled and wobbly which made eating a bit unpleasant but other than that everything was phenomenal! We will definitely be back.

Still hands down the best Italian in town and at a reasonable price. My wife and I eat here almost every year for our anniversary as well as taking home dinner once in a while throughout the year. The food is always high quality, perfectly cooked, competitively priced and they are still serving the Crème brûlée cheesecake which is without a doubt the best dessert I've had in town, it's an absolute must try.

We've been coming here for years. Hands-down the best Italian food in Bakersfield. Service is always impeccable and you cannot beat the chicken piccata with ravioli. Highly recommend.

We were pleasantly surprised that we could get this great Italian food in Bakersfield. Truth is, we had never spent any time here in the downtown area. We usually get gas and keep going.Everything was superb! The food, service and the spot was neat and friendly.
