Pick Your Pasta Oct. 25 Around Bakersfield
World Pasta Day is Oct. 25, so why not visit a Bakersfield restaurant to enjoy this popular dish that almost everyone loves? It's been around since at least 5,000 B.C., and today is served with a variety of sauces, proteins, veggies, and other tasty enhancements.
Our agents recommend trying one of the following restaurants on World Pasta Day and heading to the others when you have a craving for delicious Italian food:
- Frugatti's - 600 Coffee Rd. Suite L, Bakersfield, CA 93309
Voted "Best Italian Restaurant" for three years in a row by the Bakersfield Californian, Frugatti's features pasta that's made from scratch. After all, their slogan is "Real Italian by Real Italians." The menu is loaded with pasta dishes, including those that are baked in Frugatti's wood-fired oven. Many dishes have a short anecdote underneath that explains their origins, including the story behind the popular Nonni's Pasta Al Pomodoro. It was created because a friend described a great pasta he'd had, and the owners made their own version for him. He told so many people about it that the dish earned a spot on the menu.
