    I have never had a bad meal here, been coming here frequently for years. The NY steak is outstanding, actually ALL of their food is delicious. The fish dishes are scrumptious. On Tuesday they have prime rib special, simply amazing! They have excellent staff. This is probably the best Italian restaurant in town. They only serve lunch. Come early they always get crowded.

    We were there in the warehouse for a 50th wedding anniversary. My first time eating there, first time with Basque food. It was wonderful.

    Family reunion, pasta dishes with red and white sauce. Tender stake, delicious rotisserie chicken, fresh chopped salad with peppers, meats, cheeses, light Italian dressing.

    The place you’ll fall in love with immediately if you love Italy and Italian food. Beautiful indoors and outdoors. They also have a great selection of wines and deli at their store.

    Wonderful eatery and deli featuring Italian cuisine. Originally opened 112 years ago and is operated by family members. The only problem I witnessed were too few wait staff. Of course this has and is occurring in many restaurants nationwide. Their deli was incredible with so many meats available there for sale. I thoroughly enjoyed my time spent there!

    Lunch with friends, Christian(5th generation family) was our server and he made sure we had everything we needed. We sat on the back patio and the weather was absolutely perfect. All the food was delicious.

    Since 1910, phenomenal food. The best with over 100 years of history pouring out at you from the moment you walk in. The steak sandwich was the best I’ve ever had.

    The place was very busy and the parking can be a nightmare. There also was a very long wait But man, oh man, was the food and service worth it. The steak melted in your mouth Salmon was made to perfection Definitely made the list of going back even with the wait.

    One of the best restaurants in Bakersfield. Has such a traditional feeling and over the years the recipes have stayed the same. I highly recommend this place. Make sure to arrive before 11 to get in quickly.

    What a treat to dine at Luigi’s. It is a local and expat celebration of good food, drink and cheer. Parking can be tough and the wait a bit long, but the experience is worth it. There is a small bar that serves excellent cocktails. The tree shaded out-door patio is perfect for warm afternoon lunches. Indoors, the main dining area has stand alone tables and others fit for large groups. The deli next door offers wine, cheese, Italian staples and large jars of their delicious meat sauce. If you get to Bakersfield, you must try this unique restaurant.

    Last night was an Awards Event for Kern County Teachers. CTA WHO AWARDS (We Honor Ours!) Great food and service perfectly grilled steak medium rare. Pasta with a sausage marinara sauce or a choice of grilled chicken breast! Only 1 coed RR inside the Warehouse but a fantastic portable outside!

    This is a place that doesn't care about your opinion. Because they don't need too. Service; blunt but excellent. Atmosphere; chaotic bur welcoming. Price; way to low for the quality. Food; some of the best I've ever had. I would be shocked if there wasn't some old Italian in the kitchen yelling at everybody, but also being a favorite. All the employees seemed happy to be there. I hope this place continues to thrive for many years to come

    Luigi's is more than excellent food. It's a destination. The amount of Bakersfield history on the walls alone is worth the visit. I've been here so many times and have NEVER had a bad experience. Ever. And their deli next door is a must. You can buy anything on the menu and take it home. Even the condiments.

  • 5/5 Tommy A. 1 year ago on Google
    First time at Luigi's party center and I wasn't disappointed. Same great atmosphere and food. The only thing I don't like about Luigi's is the lack of parking. Otherwise, FANTASTIC as usual. 10 outta 10 in my humble opinion.

    This is always a great place to treat yourself. You must try their lasagna. But be aware, their seating fills up fast, you may be in for a bit of a wait if you don't make reservations. However, it's worth the wait. Great food, and super friendly staff. Also stop by the grocery and pick up some sauce, and sacko beans in the can. They're so so good

    I genuinely love this place—great atmosphere, staff, and of course, food. And the deli area is so much fun, with an excellent array of food items, great wine selections, and gifts for you and the people you love. Next time I'm in I'll add a photo. I've been using pizza topping items to make unique pizzas at home, but I never miss a chance to try one of their specials. I can't wait to visit again!

    Incredible place in Bakersfield CA. It's been in business since 1910!!!. Great atmosphere and food. Nice staff and customers to. Worth checking out.

  • 4/5 Samuel Y. 10 months ago on Google
    Pretty decent but I don’t know if I could rate this place a five star establishment. Food was good enough, service was pretty slow (not really their fault as it was a busy lunch time), atmosphere was decent. I personally don’t see the reason enough to return here to wait a long time to get seated for dining. Perhaps I’ll come back when it isn’t so busy.

    Luigi's is a popular place, so don't expect a quiet meal, but do expect great food and drinks. There is usually a wait, short wait for groups 2-4, longer for over 4. You can wait for a table out on the patio, although space can be at a premium out there too. There are fans and misters that make eating al fresco comfortable even on a very hot Bakersfield summer day. Back to the drinks, alcoholic refreshments can be strong but still provide the right balance of flavors. The food is always good, I allow my diet to splurge with Luigi's pasta dishes on my visits. All pastas are flavorful, sauces are rich and consistent. Leave room for dessert, try the Butterfinger pie, it simply delicious in its simplicity. Highly recommended.

    It was our first time dining at this restaurant and we came to celebrate a birthday. All the wait staff were nice, and the overall experience was excellent. I had the cheese ravioli and it was hands down the best I’ve ever had! To make it even better these two women dining, graciously paid for our meal to help with the celebration. -Judy

    We got there a little pass 11 and was so packed. But we got to set right away and order some food. Spaghetti was delicious but it super noisy and so many people passing beside me I cannot enjoy eating so we got it to go and I just ate at home.

    Perfect venue for an office holiday party. Huge room and then more room in the back patio. Beautiful lighting inside and out, family style seating. Clean bathrooms. Bar prices were quite steep to me: $9 for rum and coke, $4 bottle Bud light. Food cooked to superb taste 😋 and placed on dishes aesthetically pleasing 😍

  • 5/5 Jessica H. 1 year ago on Google
    We came here on a whim for dinner. Jessica was our server. We enjoyed her energy and she had a fantastic personality. We had the hanger steak special and the pork chop. Flavors were amazing and well worth the price. Can't wait to come back again soon try something else. Perfect date night or family outing. Ask for Jessica!

    Just delightful, best spot to eat in Bakersfield by far! Raviolis and pasta is great, meat is great, watermelon salad! It’s just fantastic

  • 5/5 Kaylene S. 7 months ago on Google
    The food is awesome here. I would really recommend reservations though. They were packed and the wait was over an hour. We ended up getting food to go. It was ready fast. By the time we got home everything was still nice and hot.

    Great place to socialize, the prosciutto appetizer is a must. Ideally for family and friend excellent service. Italian main plates are good, I think they could do better.
