Cozy intimate setting during the evening to celebrate any occasion with the one that you love. The waitresses are superb and well trained, and are very polite and sincere with their service to you at your table. You can tell that the food is made with love in the kitchen. Dennis Turkish

This was a delightful surprise, as we stopped only because of unexpected snow. Everything we had was housemade: the Italian dressing (FAB), the lovely goat cheese bruschetta, fantastic tomato sauce on the veal parm, a delicious veal marsala (not too sweet), and an unusual, but decadent pistachio cannoli. Well worth the minutes off the highway. Lovely service, too.

We love this restaurant. The food is amazing and the staff are wonderful and kind. When I proposed to my fiance, they were excited to help. They made sure we got the best table, let me setup ahead of time, and took pictures for us on our special day. Highly recommend! This place is our go to restaurant in Tehachapi.

My first time here was yesterday and I am very pleasantly surprised. The freshness of their food was evident with homemade sauces and handmade pasta. The young lady who served us was friendly and attentive. Considering the quality of the food, I think their prices were very decent. The dining room atmosphere is very lacking and could go a long way with some attention. Also things like cloth napkins, tablecloths, and salad dresssings that aren’t in plastic to go containers would really elevate the dining experience. Yet, I’d much rather great food and service over my suggested elements. I will certainly be back here again.

This restaurant is fantastic! The atmosphere and friendly wait staff make for an amazing, authentic, Italian dining experience. The food is, hands down, the best Italian I've ever had.

Vibe is so important! Perfetto’s Italian Bistro above all had true hospitality, kindness and the welcoming spirit. The chef actually came to my table we spoke for a moment about the fresh homemade pasta and the dash of clam she adds to one of her dishes for that truly unique flavor. The lentil noodle soup you’ll see in the photo attached was a sensory delight. Seriously considered ordering another bowl being that I may never travel by this way again. The Pasta Primavera entree was well worth pushing through the gluttony of going for two bowls of soup. Homemade pasta, garden grown veggies sauteed and I light wine sauce had me stuffed to the gills licking the plate it was so delicious Hard to believe I topped it all off with tiramisu, it’s not often you find genuine homemade Italian food crafted with love and passion. That said you can imagine how good the tiramisu was. This restaurant was so laid-back, small town, easy-going, chill - do yourself a favor get off the highway and drop into a meaningful meal at Perfetto’s

This is an owner operated ma and pa restaurant with a warm and friendly vibe always. While the pasta is freshly made on the premises and amazing, the menu is varied with many wonderful & traditional Italian meals without pasta.
