Best Italian Food in Bakersfield. Fresh made pasta. Fantastic Spaghetti and Meatballs. Our favorite for date night. Just around the corner from Frugatti's (also good) but more romantic and cozy.
Little Italy is our favorite “date night” restaurant. Owner, Chang and his staff always deliver a 5-star meal and extraordinary service. I usually order the chicken francaise, but I tried the halibut last visit and absolutely loved it. The location appears underwhelming in a strip mall, but once you step inside, you will feel like a VIP. My wife also highly recommends the lemon drop martini.
If Bakersfield has five star restaurants, Little Italy is among the tops! Foods, atmosphere and especially the service is top notch. We were served by Dakota, a very pleasurable young man with an emphasis on service. He took care of our every need. Foods were cooked to perfection and even the restrooms were spotless. On the way down the hall I was able to peek into the kitchen, again it was spotless and well organized. A big thanks here!
Have been coming to this restaurant for several years food is delicious and service is always great, visit when you can you wouldn’t be disappointed, I recommend it for all your dining experiences.
First time trying this place. It was actually pretty good. A friend recommended while visiting family. I will say that I personally have had better fettuccine but my mom ordered it and liked it so that's what matters. The Greek salad was really a spinach salad as there was literally ONE olive and as shown those 3 little pieces of feta. The waiter brought out a small cup of olives which was nice. The little round things in the picture are fried mozzarella with marinara sauce. Very good! The pork chop was so tender and seasoned just right! It wasn't my order but I had to try it. It was sooooooooo good! I ordered the cheese manicotti. It was OK. The edges were a bit hard like it was under or overcooked. The waiter was terrific. Super attentive, friendly. I can't remember his name for the life of me but it was different. They only open for dinner and I think you have to make a reservation. Good music, nice atmosphere. All in all we had a great time.

Authentic Italian cuisine in a cozy, romantic setting—perfect for date nights and special occasions.
