Pellegrino's Italian Kitchen

I moved to Olympia from Seattle when I was pregnant where I was privy to many wonderful and diverse restaurants. In Olympia I despaired of finding anyplace to satisfy my cravings and sometimes voracious appetite. Then I ate at Pellegrino's. Now I've been eating there for years. It's my place to bring visiting guests and my son came here for homecoming. It's never been a disappointment. I love the food, staff and atmosphere. You can't go wrong with Pellegrino's. Thank you!! more

My hubby & I were introduced by our aunt who has shared wonderful meals and memories at Pellegrino's with her sweetheart/hubby until his recent passing. We were so impressed that this afternoon, we're introducing our son and his italian chef wife and kids to Pellegrino's today. I anticipate that pellegrino's will get a big thumbs up from everyone in our group. getting ready for dinner. Gotta go! more

I love that this restaurant is a renovated house because it makes it so cute and cozy. The employees have been courteous each time and there's never an issue with dirty floors or smudgy tabletops. I don't eat meat in restaurants or I'd defend their veal from the Anti-Local-Restaurant guy, but I do love their breaded and fried eggplant parmigiana. That's my favorite meal there but I like to substitute alfredo sauce for the marinara. The alfredo is made from cream and parmesan - you can actually taste the fresh ingredients. The pastas are fresh. The spinach and cheese ravioli is rich and wonderful, too. Pros: Great alfredo sauce and fresh veggies Cons: Too few breadstick refills. :o( more

Sorry, you feel that way, but I call 'em like I see 'em. Don't take it personally. I do admire you for supporting your friends though. more

First off, I don't know what to say about the other review from over four years ago, but I do know their menu has changed almost entirely since then, and I have never personally had an issue. Pros: Great, consistent food and service Cons: Pellegrino family no longer running Tyee location more

We had Halibut,awfully prepared, the fish's original taste has all gone, the sauce was indescribability terrible. Like CANNED FOOD. $17.00 for a can food taste.IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. And then, the one MY HUSBAND ordered, 3 Sample Italian dish , meatball and spaghetti: it is OK if you have it on a street fair, not something you expect in a restaurant. The totellini: Jee, they should just go to the supermarket and get one of those frozen totellini, it definitely better than theirs. It was not only not aldente but way to soft that my husband didn't fancy it. The worst was SAUSAGE, I bet they use left over sausage from their catering, it was hard, no taste, of course not juicy(it's like leftover sausage's been dried up and been reheated) Terrible. Cons: Food Quality, food taste more
