Luigi's, Bakersfield

We took another trip to Bakersfield and had lunch at Luigi's. It's located at 725 E. 19th Street in Bakersfield. The restaurant is only open Tue-Sat from 11am-2:30pm. There is a delicatessen next door that sells homemade ravioli (frozen), homemade sausages (fresh), deli meats, cheese and all things Italian, including dry pasta, canned tomatoes from Italy, wine and gift items.

My favorite on the menu is the Meat Ravioli with Bolognese Sauce--$15.75 for large. It comes with 1 link of sausage. I ask for it without cheese--I don't like their dry parmesan. It's not freshly grated.

The sausage is delicious. It's lean and flavorful.

The entree is served with a roll (soft or hard), salami, cheese and pepperoncini.

I always order Tongue for One--$4.25. Thinly sliced beef tongue in Italian dressing.

Don't forget the Butterfinger Pie. We got a whole pie to go--$23 (if you have the whole pie at the restaurant, it's $35).
