14 Best Italian Restaurants near Tumwater

“Had a really great experience with my first time here. Sarah was incredible! Great people, wonderful food, so many options. It was delicious and I’ll be back!Dietary restrictions: They have an option for personal pizzas made with gluten free crust! The pizza size is really generous and my wife said it was amazing.“

“The pizza is really good and always hot when it arrives. I had a taco salad and it was stuffed full. The waitress was really nice and made sure my kids had everything they needed. Our drinks were never empty and we got to take some pizza home for later because we had a little more than we could hold but their pizza is good cold the next day. I would probably eat it from inside a couch cushion if I found it, it's that good . Next time I will try the Reuben!!!Kid-friendliness: The staff waited on my kids like they were kings. They were so nice“

“Visited for the first time on April 11 for the Wednesday/ Thursday night couples dinner deal. We had steamer clams for the shared app, blue and Caesar salads, and pork chops and top sirloin for our entrees. For drinks, we opted for thyme, lemon martinis and a couple glasses of red wine. The martini was stellar.Our server was kind, attentive, and knowledgeable. From start to finish the service was impeccable.The clams were a delicious way to start the meal , accompanied by fresh, warm sourdough bread and infused butter. The salads were great w/ quality dressings; the blue cheese dressing was unctuous and I enjoyed every bite. The pork chop had great flavor and the top sirloin was tender and delicious.We didn’t have room for dessert, but the house made desserts looked so incredible that we will surely carve out time to visit soon just for coffee and dessert.I can’t wait to come back to Gardner’s.Parking: Shared gravel lot w/ an adjacent brewery. Street parking as well.“

“I love this place. I come from over an hour away to get this pizza. Imported sourdough and delicious options. BUT. Today was a bad day. I got the Tropicana with extra sauce, and I was given a very dry pizza. It is sad. I’m sad. I wish I would have looked at it before I left Olympia. I’ll be back, but I don’t have the confidence I once had in this delicious establishment. Much love, Jarom.EDIT: Sent a message to the owner on the website but haven’t heard back…“

“We always love to go to Olive Garden for their endless soup and salad. We were seated right away in an area that was easy for my husband to navigate to with his mobility issues. Our waitress, Sally, had the patience beyond believing and we enjoyed her service. Even at lunch time the food came out quick, hot (breadsticks and soup, the salad was cold!) and delicious.Wheelchair accessibility: Staff is extremely helpful with all accommodations and plenty of handicap parking spots.“

“Please understand what I am going to say may seem like hyperbole, but it isn't enough credit. Last Sunday my Wife and I stopped in, we're new to the area and were looking for a quiet well prepared meal. Both of which we received.It was an hr b4 close my wife had the cannelloni & I had what may have been top 10 steaks of my life. Our server was magnificent. She was the only one on the floor and handled it like a champ. I completely understand why this place has been open since 1952. Thank you very much for our wonderful evening in your establishment!!“

“I was astonished at the size of the portions, absolutely massive! I love both the Chicken Alfredo and the spaghetti carbonara. But is sometimes inconsistent with the foods temperature. Food 4/5. This place has a great inside and outside area with good parking too. Atmosphere 5/5. Service 4/5. Always gets you online or call order on time but sometimes takes a good amount of time in restaurant not that I mind since they bring you some great bread with oil and balsamic vinegar. Great place to order out or dine in. Overall 13/15.“

“The Mark has recently changed up their program, dedicating their menu to super delicious Roman-style pizzas, unlike the pizza you'll get anywhere else in the area, plus salads and desert options. They always have vegetarian and vegan options, too. The atmosphere is excellent, casual but romantic, with a beautiful shady patio for the summer, and a nicely-stocked bar. I always nonchalantly ask Lisa, the owner, to make me a spritz, no further specifications, and she always delivers something amazing. Plus where else are you going to get pizza prepared by a genuine Sicilian with decades of authentic Italian cooking experience under his belt?? The Mark is truly a hidden gem in little ol' Olympia, and completely unique for our area. I truly love it!“

“Absolutely delicious. Had lunch on a Friday afternoon, first time customer. Some of the most beautiful pizza presentation I've ever seen. Everything was amazingly fresh and flavorful.Definitely the best pizza I've had in the Olympia area so far.I usually get half cheese half pepperoni, but I'll only order margherita next time because they are very generous with their portions.Parking: 111 Market St NE, Olympia, WA 98501Kid-friendliness: The staff were nice. They even gave us lemonade because we wanted some. The pizza was my favorite. It was the best pizza ever! The pizza was so good, I couldn't have agreed more! ? ? ?“

“This place makes the absolute best sandwiches. I'm not even kidding...they are THE BEST. I would consider my wife and I regulars for this spot and I don't think we have ever had a negative experience. The staff is nice, good atmosphere, and great, high quality food. They also have a patio for outdoor seating and sometimes we bring our dog with us when we sit out there. Not sure if thats actually allowed, but we've never had a problem with it... Overall excellent place. I consider it a Thurston county staple!“

“Everything was perfect. Attentive wait persons, delicious pasta (gf available, even ravioli) and quiet, comfortable atmosphere. Padded seats on the chairs and a coat closet.Vegetarian options: It would be easy to order vegetarian pasta and salads here. Don't forget dessert.Dietary restrictions: Our gf linguine was delicious.Wheelchair accessibility: It looks easily accessible.“

“Casa Mía is great! Great food, always, and great service. They stayed open for us once on an anniversary that had gone horribly wrong beforehand. We showed up 20 minutes before close and they let us know they were working on closing so we couldn't be there long and some options may not be available. We explained the horrific day we had had and how our car had broke down and the restaurant we had planned to go to was going to be $130 just to Uber to, and nowhere else nearby was open. We let them know we'd be quick about our order and do our best to get out of their hair soon so they could close. After hearing this, they were super accommodating and reassuring that it was no problem and that they hoped they could give us a good experience on our anniversary. And that they did. They didn't rush us, they willingly made everything we ordered, and they offered us a free dessert. Thank you Casa Mía for saving us that night.“

“Meconi’s Subs has been voted “Best Sub Shop” in the Olympian Newspaper’s “Best of South Sound” every year. The fresh homemade bread from their in-house bakery, quality ingredients, and the family-owned atmosphere has made Meconi’s Subs into a local favorite.“

“The Philly beef was hot and delicious. The beef was tender with just the right amount of spice. They wrapped it well. It stayed hot on our walk back to the hotel. And the service was pleasant. It wasn't particularly cheap. But a good sandwich is worth the money.“
