10 Best Italian Restaurants in Olympia

“I’ve been to Italian restaurants in New York City and other locales, but this is by far the best. The decor reminded my spouse of her dinners at similar restaurants while living in Italy in the late 70’s. The server was very knowledgeable regarding the dinner menu and patiently answered our many questions. The food was delicious and plates were filled. Reservations are a must because of Bacco’s popularity, but remember to call a couple of days ahead of time, as from what I observed this restaurant is very popular. Parking is not an issue.“

“Arrived around 6pm on a Sunday, seated immediately, quick service. Caesar side salad came very soon after ordering. Very garlicky dressing, lots of shredded parmesan, so yum! Generous serving of rolls with our entrees, 2 big rolls each and nicely warmed up, with butter pats in the basket so they were warm and ready to spread. Husband had chicken parmegian with side of fettuccine alfredo, I had butternut squash ravioli in herbed butter. Lots of parm on the pastas too. Chicken nicely cooked, not overly crunchy (which is sometimes the case when a restaurant uses more breading/coating than needed). Ravioli filling was sweet, almost dessertish, different from others I've had. Next time I'd try the spinach cheese ravioli, which comes in basil pesto. Hearty portion sizes. Attentive, friendly service.“

“😃“The Mark restaurant is like a vacation; it transports you, and it becomes a lot more than just about the food“

“Great food, great service and the bread pudding was fabulous.“

“Our server ( TERI) was absolutely amazing!! The food is always good. But let’s talk about our server she was polite professional and quick , literally we didn’t have to ask for anything because she kept popping back up to pour more water take dishes check in to make sure everything was up to par and I’m super impressed and happy. Coming to an establishment Friday night after 8:45pm and being provided excellent service.
Teri is a people person ,enjoys and takes pride in her service. The Manger on duty I didn’t catch her name but she was also nice and knew Teri was amazing! Literally I’ll be calling to be seated in her section when we come back!! This melts my heart seeing people working jobs they actually enjoy and take pride in the service they provide. It makes everything pleasant smooth and over all 10/10 experience!! Than you Teri for making our night.🥰“

“Fresh ingredients, friendly staff. Amazing food with attention to detail and presentation. 😁Next best thing to being in Italy.“

“I was very nervous about moving to Washington due to very large difference in food, but Casa Mia restored that. It was my first Italian restaurant inside Washington and I was not disappointed one bit. There's a reason it's an award winning restaurant.

Service was fast and servers were very friendly, amazing pizza and other authentic italian food, very nice mood to the restaurant as well.

10/10 Consider me a regular now“

“Just got back from dinner here. I honestly don't remember the last time I wrote a review for a restaurant. If you are looking for a great restaurant in Olympia for Pizza or other Italian fare, give this place a try. Kyle was our server and he deserves all the accolades in the world for taking care of our table of 7 tonight. Great place and an amazing outing!“

“I order the Italian cold sub and the Chicken Philly. The staff was AMAZING. I forgot a sandwich and came back an hour later to pick up and they made me a fresh one! The subs themselves are TO DIE FOR. Super fresh not soggy at all. My praises go out to them!“
