Fugazzis — Restaurant in Tulare

Let’s talk about FUGAZZIS, it’s a Bistro, not an Italian restaurant. The name can confuse you to think otherwise. However, when you see the menu you will understand. The food is actually crafted from great culinary recipes. Upon receiving your meal you’ll understand that FUGAZZIS is about two levels above Olive Garden and Five levels above Subway.

Regarding the meal prep time it takes a while for your meal to be given to you. I dislike restaurants that make me wait for my meal past 30 minutes. Or where I have drank two cups of Dr Pepper before my meal arrives.

Appetizers, the options they offer are levels above the normal ones you have ever had. They are amazingly crafted. I got the roasted garlic. This appetizer was delicious. You will be eating raw garlic cooked and prepared with sides of delicious mouth flavors infused.

Meal, I ordered the Alaskan Salmon. It came with veggies and brown rice. The meal in itself was Amazing! The rice was delicious. I have only had that type of taste in rice in South Carolina.

The bar, has a great menu to choose from. Your typical tequilas and rums, lots of options. The also have great wine options. There are three tv’s to watch sports.

The ambience, is very cool. It feels like a technical art project that encompasses the building.

Restrooms, are a bit off! They are located out from the restaurant and you’ll share the restroom with other businesses such as a whole gym, private medical facilities.

The price, it does get pricy. Of course for higher quality meals require a higher price tag, but definitely worth it.

Location, is not the best. When you drive up to FUGAZZIS it will be a bit difficult to find the restaurant.

DOOR DASH types of services are offered here. As well as reservations, happy hour specials. In conclusion, FUGAZZIS is not your typical restaurant. The food is delicious trust me it’s worth it. I will be...

Atmosphere was odd... seemed to be trying to be upscale but at the same time being family friendly. Our waitress was wonderful and very sweet so nothing bad to say in that regard haha. Our food was.... definitely subpar. My husband got the bistro steak sandwich in which the steak was inconsistently cooked, the cut of steak was definitely cheap and the sweet potato fries (which we both had) were underseasoned and seemed to maybe be frozen. My sandwich was the avocado, bacon and turkey sandwich. The turkey was clearly store bought deli meat, the bun (for both of us) was clearly cheap and soggy, the slices of tomato on mine kept causing the sandwich to slide and fall apart while trying to eat it and our bacon on both sandwiches was undercooked and limp. My glass of prosecco was more carbonated then my husband's glass of Stella Artois beer. The beer showed up and had no head to it and zero carbonation. Definitely not someplace we'll likely eat at again. There's definitely other cheap, family friendly places that give better...
