I had the lobster ravioli and it was heaven. I cannot wait to try everything!! The meatballs were just like grandma used to make. Now here is the only downside...this place is SMALL!!

Been here three times now. Each time I have been quite impressed and left full…read more I did the Tour of Italy twice and was amazed. Their pesto is amazing, and their chicken parmesan is very flavorful and not overcooked. The fettuccine alfredo is amazing as well. The last time I went I got just the northern Chicken Parmesan and loved it. It comes with spaghetti so it's a more complete meal. The place is always busy and so it can be loud. They service is usually good, doing the best they can. Desert I've tried their tiramisu (loved it!) and got spumoni last time from a local creamery. The only downside is parking can be a nightmare. They don't have many spaces so you might have to walk a bit to get there, but it is well worth it.

We came in with a party of 11 for my niece's birthday and unfortunately had a very disappointing…read moreexperience from start to finish. Right away there was confusion at check-in--they called for a party of 9 with no name, and the host was rude when we responded using the first name instead of the last. After being seated, it took about 10 minutes just to get drinks, and then another 30 minutes before our server took our food order. During that time, we weren't asked about appetizers or offered any drink refills. About an hour later, the server came back and told us the kitchen was backed up and they were "just now making our food," which honestly felt like our order may have been forgotten. At that point, all of our drinks were empty and I had to ask for refills. While we were still waiting, another server came to the table asking how one of our steaks was cooked, which added to the confusion. Our food finally arrived after about an hour and a half. Unfortunately, the issues didn't stop there: My spaghetti and meatballs was incorrect, but I kept it since I didn't want to wait again with a toddler. My sister's husband's meal was never even put in--the server admitted this. My sister's fish and chips came out cold. No one checked back to see how the food was. Drinks were left empty again with no refills offered. We were never asked about dessert. Plates were never cleared, even after I stacked empties at the end of the table to help. Every time we needed something, we had to flag someone down. To make matters worse, the checks came out incorrect with items swapped between them. I've worked as a server/bartender for four years, and my niece is also a server, so we completely understand how busy and stressful things can get. But this experience missed the mark on multiple levels. Even when things go wrong, basic service--like keeping drinks filled and checking on guests--should still be happening. This was easily the worst restaurant experience I've had. It was especially disappointing because we're an easy group and typically tip very well. Unfortunately, we will not be returning.

Had been looking forward to trying this restaurant as it seems to get decent reviews…read more Pickup order on a weekday, later PM. Terrible parking - had to circle a couple times for street parking. Place had maybe 8 total people so not busy. Went up to Server/Cashier near front to let her know I was there for pickup and was immediately told "The servers like it when you stand by the table" in a mildly pretentious tone. No "Hi" or "How can I help you?" This is downtown Olympia so typical establishment behavior. Not surprised. Place was clean and very nicely decorated.Took about 5 minutes to get my pizza which was surprisingly quick. The Pizza I generally like my pizzas crisp and this was not even close. Very soggy, and not much flavor (Pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, olives). This was thin crust so that potentially had something to do with taste and texture. I would compare this Pizza to what you get at MOD. It's not too bad, but not too good. Average at best and I expected a lot better. Cost was about normal (14" pizza and bread appetizer for $50 plus tax). Marinara sauce for bread was delicious. All in all, it wasn't a terrible experience. It's by no means gourmet or fancy pizza. Perhaps the rest of their menu is better. Server needs to chill out and brush up on her customer service skills. 3 stars at best.

Our waitress was nice and helpful recommending dishes (we couldn't make up our minds!) We ordered the pesto gnocchi to share. It was heavenly! Their bread was fresh out of the oven and the rosemary hummus was so good. Chicken piccata was very rich in flavor and the portion size was big. Strozzapreti alla Norcina was so good! Creamy and rich in flavor. Noodles were made in house. The cannoli was loaded. The amarena cherries were delightful Note to add: we showed up at almost 8 pm (closing time is 9) people were showing up around 8:45 and our host was ready to seat them. It was nice that they didn't have a dining cutoff like other restaurants. I noticed a lot of DoorDash orders, which again emphasized on the good food. Overall a great experience, great staff and entertainment. Great food. We will definitely be coming back to try the other dishes that peaked our interest.

If you're gonna serve a steak, and charge $60 for it, it better be a damn good steak. Yes, if eaten more expensive steaks in 5 star restaurants, but common man. The seafood fettuccine was yummy, but that might be attributed to the mountain of Parmesan cheese. I made him shred on top of it.
