Fugazzis

Such amazing service, said no one ever. Call in order took longer then staying to eat. So unprofessional. May need to work on getting orders out quicker instead of joking around in the kitchen. Disappointed.

This restaurant is on a weird location. It’s part of a gym. But the food and wine were excellent. Try the fried Brussels

The bread and dipping sauce that is complimentary is INCREDIBLE. Highly recommend the roasted garlic appetizer that comes with Brie cheese, apples, candied walnuts, and toasted bread. Mmmm! Great service, delicious food.

Went there when they were very busy and we had a large group. The girl in the front worked VERY hard to get us a table and kept us informed about the wait. Food was great and service was amazing. Love this place.

Really cute/​trendy place. I went for lunch. Portion was a good size. I got a Halibut wrap I think. I only finished half. Staff was friendly and music fit the setting. Décor is a bit darker, not much natural light but that’s what makes it cool I think. There’s a bar you can sit at as well.

Worst. Service. Ever. I cant give a star because we never got served our food. (I tried to do no stars but it wont let me.) Arrived just before 1:00 p.m. — well after any lunch «rush», if there even was one. When we walked in, there were maybe 5 – 6 tables occupied and most looked like they had already been served. we were seated and our order taken — that part was a bit slow, but not overly. Ordered a wrap and a salad. Thirty minutes later — no food, no explanation, rare visits if any by the server. Had to flag her down to ask her where our food was and was told, I’ll check.” Never got back to us. Never an explanation as to what was taking so long. In fact when we left and told them we were leaving because of the service, the answer was — «don’t know what to tell you.» Really? How about, «I’m sorry.»
If I were to give the server the benefit of the doubt (only because she was young) I’d say management needs to train their employees. She honestly did not seem to care about anything. Just not sure if that’s a training or an attitude issue.
Will NOT be back.

Go not and find this gem in Tulare. Don’t let the restaurant in the gym fool you. This is a full restaurant and bar with quality food and servers. They have the same menu as the Visalia restaurant with a few specials. Yummy

This is my absolute favorite place to get pizza and have drinks. A single topping pizza take out is only $ 8.95. Can’t beat it. I come here regularly and have never had a bad meal or bad service. Always friendly and accommodating. My favorite part of my week is stopping by after work, order a pie to go and have a drink in the bar while I wait. I def recommend this restaurant.

We came to Tulare for grandsons birthday. Took everyone to lunch here. The service was horrible. We have a dairy allergy. None of the bread was dairy free. What Italian place has no sourdough?
We ordered Primavera & it came with chicken. Our tea was never refilled.
Service was slow. Server disappeared for extended stretches. She forgot one order completely.
Not Vegetarian or Vegan friendly which is unheard of for an Italian establishment.

My husband and I went to dinner for his birthday this evening. We both had the salmon and it was excellent. We had an awesome server named «Ale». She was polite, attentive and our drinks were never empty. The restaurant was busy with prom night and parties. I even enjoyed seeing the beautiful dresses. Great service, great atmosphere and great food.

If I could give no stars I would. Recently had visited Tulare to see my family and had heard about the Visalia location with plenty of great reviews. Our server was ALE, who was very rude to us. She had yelled at my 80 year old aunt saying how she needs to speak up when ordering. Just very rude in general while taking our orders. It was my sisters birthday and we had mentioned that and she rudely replied «well I’m not going to sing, i don’t sing but we do give you a cheesecake». Sad to say I had a lot of high expectations of this restaurant but will definitely not be returning. Hopefully better luck next time at Visalias location.

Came in for dinner, left with a bad taste in our mouths: what started as a promising dinner turned out to be a disaster. My wife and I were traveling thru Tulare, and wanted to eat somewhere we couldn’t back home, so after reading reviews, we tried Fugazzis. It was Valentines Day, and we knew it would be busy pretty much anywhere we tried, but when we called Fugazzis to ask about the wait, we were informed that there was a table in the bar area that we could have right away. Awesome! We arrived less then 5 minutes later, as we were just a block away, and were seated instantly. Excellent! But that is when everything went south. The bar/​resturant was busy because of the holiday, but there were several other people nearby that received much better service. After more then 30 minutes, the waitress (Laura — shorter gal with brunette hair) finally came up and took our drink order. Ouch! About 15 minutes later, she asked to take our dinner order, however, she had never given us menus. Frustrating! After tracking down menus, it was about another 20 minutes before we were able to place our order; we were not asked about appetizers or salads, and so we were unable to order any. Starving! I also had to ask her for bread, which was being brought out to every nearby except for us. Meanwhile, no fewer than four other couples that had been seated after we arrived had already been served their meals. Our food arrived more then an hour later, and it was so-​so, a little bland, and mine (the Carbonara Pasta) was a bit cold just a few minutes after it arrived. We also requested some more bread, and it was brought out after the meal was finished. Meh! Also observed a manager walking around and asking couples how their meal was, but he never approched us. By the time our meal was finished, there were five empty tables around us, and the four couples I had seen seated after our arrival had already paid their bill and left. Not once did the waitress apologize, nor did the manager who made eye contact with us ask how everything was. Unfortuanatly, this was the worst customer service I think I’ve ever been involved in. We wont be going back.

Sat in the bar during happy hour during a MLB game. The bartender was very busy but still took care of us. Happy hour food was good (pizza, coconut shrimp.) $ 4 Chardonnay was yummy. I also got the New Spinach salad– it was fresh and came with everything the menu stated but it was just missing something. Will definitely go back and try out other things on the menu.

The best filet I’ve ever had every time I have it there! Always great food and excellent service.

Great atmoshere but the service is always rather lackluster. It’s also time for them to enhance their menu selection.

This restaurant is local and delicious! It has a great atmosphere and good food. Fugazzi’s has delicious salads, pizzas, and pastas. I keep going back.

Went for «Taco Tuesday» and service was horrible. The poor bartender was being run ragged and had no help. Ran out of white wine and the beer we were drinking. It seems like the owner would have extra help on his busy nights or pull one of the waitresses from the floor to help. My food took about an hour to get to me. This is the second time this has happened. The food is really good and it’s sad that the experience kind of ruined it.

I’ve only been to this location on lunch. From the looks of things, it’s a popular place for business lunches (which is why I was there). I’ve had several different things here, from pasta dishes to some chicken and steak. My favorite, however, is their portobello mushroom sandwich. Our service for lunch has always been pretty good, so no complaints there either. I did notice, however, that they seemed to have very few wait staff at lunch, so they were having to really hustle to keep up (which can lead to mistakes and problems). Our experience was good, and I’ll definitely be back.

It’s right around the corner & figured I’d give it a shot. It was ok but I wasn’t impressed. Service was, Eh. Not too busy but still waited awhile for service after we were sat down. Not sure I’ll be back. La Piazza & Belle Notte are much better

I wish I could rate this place NO Stars!
I brought my mother-​in-​law and wife to this location sat May 11^th before mothers day. This is my mother-in-law’s favorite place to eat and it was a first time for all of us at this location.
Wait was quoted 10−15mins, actually 30minutes to be seated.
Drinks took 10minutes plus and at one point I had to go to the bar to pick up our drinks.
Appetizers did not come out for 30minutes
CHICKEN WAS RAW! We ordered the breaded chicken appetizer and each piece was horribly raw after taking 30mins to come out!
Children’s chicken meal was ok but the veggies were cooked and presented in a pool of oil!
The chicken alfredo pasta was horrible– when it arrived it was clear it had spent much time under a heat lamp by the waxy look and the sauce was watered down and near flavorless, and the food barely warm.
Salads were good, but then again that’s hard to mess up.
The servers appeared to be working hard though I was never allowed to speak to a manager or owner regarding the horrible service and food! I welcome any manager or owner to contact me since I was not allowed to at that location. I was told the manager that was on was the other server and she was busy. With only two servers, no hostess, no one working the bar, and a bus boy that I think was cooking too, I’m shocked there was no manager on a mother’s day weekend! I have no interest to return to this location or any other!
