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.
