Italian Restaurants near Yelm

“I miss Casa Mia so much. This was my favorite pizza place ever as a kid, and it still is. I haven’t been here in about 10 years since I moved, but I crave it every once in a while. I have never had a better pizza. One day I will come back to Washington just so I can taste it again.“

“Our family just moved to Yelm and tried this restaurant. We had pepperoni pizza, cheese pizza, tomato basil pizza, carbonara and salad. Everything tasted delicious. We loved the thin crust in every bite of the pizza. We’ll definitely come back.“

“Okay, stop scrolling. You can skip the flight to Italy because Bacco is legit the entire experience. It’s not just dinner; it’s a whole mood. The moment you walk in, the atmosphere is this perfect mashup of super chic and that cozy, intimate kitchen feeling. It's totally transportive, like stepping onto the set of a cool European movie. The aesthetics alone are worth the visit.
But the food is the main character. I'm talking about pasta that isn't just al dente, it’s obsessed-with-it good. Every noodle had a soulful chew, cradling a sauce that was clearly simmered for hours—real deal, no shortcuts. This isn't your average spaghetti; this is what happens when ingredients get the respect they deserve. From the first bite of the appetizer to the last spoonful of the exquisite Tiramisu (which is a non-negotiable must-try, by the way), every plate felt so intentional and fresh.
And the service? Our server was amazing, seriously. They weren't just taking orders; they were acting like a super knowledgeable friend, guiding us through the wine list and recommending the absolute best mains with genuine enthusiasm. This place just hits different. If you haven't been, your date night or special occasion rotation is completely missing out. Go immediately. Five stars, no notes.“
