Deep Dive

A deep dive into Pellegrinos Italian Kitchen & Catering

This place is small and very easy to miss if you haven't been before. Once you pass the intersection, heading east along the cemetary road, this spot is directly across the street immediately after the intersection. I chose this place because of reviews claiming they had gluten-free pasta. The menu prices are from $14 to over $20 a plate. Small plates are not an option. There is a $1.50 up charge for the gluten-free pasta substitution. We were seated immediately despite the limited seating inside. There is also additional seating outside across the entrance to the parking lot at their winery. We were served water immediately and both of us said that's all we wanted to drink as the day was warm and 67% humidity and we walked in it for a while. I was pleasantly surprised when she topped up our water without being asked as that is sadly rare in restaurants anymore. We were immediately served with free bread and olive oil with good quality vinegar. When I mentioned that the pasta had to be gluten free because of my allergy the waitress volunteer that they have gluten-free bread for the oil and vinegar. I happily took her up on that and she brought out a freshly warmed biscuit with some herbs and a little bit of cheese in it. It was very good. By the time we were about 2/3 of the way done with our bread and oil our pasta was already served to us. We looked at the menu and decided to share a plate because neither one of us have that big of an appetite and restaurants do tend to have giant servings. This place is no exception. They did not charge us to share the pasta dish. We ordered the baked chicken and vegetable pasta dish with alfredo sauce. I appreciated the sizeable chunks of cauliflower and broccoli that were clearly fresh and delicious. There were also green beans and carrot slices. The chicken was salted and plain but went well with the dish. We were unable to eat even half of what was served between the two of us. It was just too much food so we had plenty of leftovers and I suffered no signs of gluten contamination.

If I could give less that 1 start for how the manager accused me of lying about my order I would! It’s deplorable that I spend around $100+ twice a month there & the last 2 online orders I order something that I did not receive. That might not seem like a big deal but after asking them to check & saying yep it’s on top only to drive 25 minutes home & have just plain bread no butter, no cheese & clearly no garlic I called. Only to have a manger accuse me of lying because they wouldn’t “cut it” if it weren’t garlic cheese bread, so I said well are you saying I’m lying? At this point I’m hurt, upset & getting defensive because I have absolutely no reason to lie about something so silly! But nevertheless the manager was extremely rude told me if I wanted to file a complaint to email pictures to an email address she rattled off so fast hoping I wouldn’tget it then told me if I was going to be rude I could just hang the phone up, then she proceeded to hang up on me! Literally this is the 1st time I’ve ever called about paying for things that didn’t make it on my order & this was how I was treated! It makes me so angry because there food is great but to accuse somebody of lying & to be so rude about something I thought would be handled so professionaly is sad! Sorry to say you lost mine & several family member’s over a very rude & unprofessional manager!!!

So my husband took me here for my birthday. It was an awful experience, our friends told us it was amazing. For$99 we had dinner, sat outside that was really nice. No plates for bread no napkins had to get silverware for ourselves. The fork had some hard food still on it, my husband's drink (whatever lemon lime drink they had) was soda water. The water had strawberry seeds floating in it. I ordered calamari it was rubber, breaded ravioli was ok. I had wild mushroom tortellini it was supposed to have Oyster, Portabella, Crimini, & Shitake mushrooms. With Roasted tomatoes and parmesan cheese. Well all I tasted was tomatoes and parmesan. I got it for the mushrooms. It did have portabella mushrooms with no taste. We did not even if have salt and pepper. When I told the waitress she did offer something else but I told her my stomach was getting upset. They did not even take a dollor of my meal. My husband had Sicilian parmesan chicken, the chicken was ok the spaghetti was awful. The lemon tiramisu was not so great either. We gave them $120 for a meal that was $99.57 ( not sure on coins) she brought me back $12 she only shorted herself on the tip. We left it all for her. Very sad not such a great birthday dinner and we only get date night once a month.

Me and my husband felt like Italian and stumbled upon this little restaurant and decided to give it a try. We walked in and asked for table for 2 and to big surprise were escorted into a smaller building next door to be seated. Apparently the building has been used for catering but is now used for guests overflow. The building was very old and had a very strange strong smell I was not a fan of. Alright. We sat down and promptly were greeted and brought water and yummy warm bread. I ordered a Chicken Scaloppine and my husband got a Chicken Marsala. Our dishes took about 30 minutes to come out and they did not come with anything else besides bread. Chicken Marsala was on the smaller side and Included veggies, which was nice and different....My pasta portion was HUGE.Probably a largest plate of pasta I have ever gotten at a restaurant. If I would have known I would have ordered one for me and my husband to share. My dish was flavorful and tasty but I wish it had some cream to it -would have made this dish a 5 star. I stuffed myself as much as I could and my husband was happy to finish the rest. Regardless we loved our experience and next time we are in the area we will definitely stop by to try something different. Thank you so so so much 🙏

I met a friend who is a business colleague after work for a social dinner at Pellegrinos Italian Kitchen & Catering in Tumwater. Staying at the La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Tumwater - Olympia on Capitol Blvd SE, it was a super easy and quick drive to the restaurant. Parking can be a little tight so I parked on the adjacent side-Street, Bates St SE. But this speaks to how popular and wonderful the restaurant really is! My favorite types of restaurants are the local family-owned since you get that certain personal touch and atmosphere. And Pellegrinos is definitely 5+ Stars! The service was phenomenal and the food perfect. I started out with the anti-pasta salad which I expected to be small but was more than generous loaded with all of the great stuff. My meal was the veal parmigiana which couldn’t be made any better. It was tender, tasty, and prepared just right. And the pasta and marinara sauce were excellent too. This definitely a gem of a local restaurant.

Several people had recommended this restaurant to me, so I had to try it! I went with a friend about 3:30 on a weekday and when we arrived, there was only one other party. By the time we left at 5, it was packed! Our service was not great but it think it was because our server was stretched too thin. We tried the calamari, spinach artichoke dip, and ceaser salad. The stand out was actually the chips for the spinach dip. Otherwise the spinach dip was not fully warmed up and it then was not great and to us, lacked flavor. The same was true for the calamari, it just lacked flavor and was more breading than calamari. The Cesar was average with box croutons. I would rate this restaurant from this one experience as a "C+" , slightly above average. I did not try any main dishes and I wonder if the time of day played a role in the experience. I plan to try to again because it came so highly recommend by several people.
