    This is my half of my combo.
    Kathy M.

    We've been going to Meconis since the 1980s and really enjoy the sandwiches. Lately though, our orders are never quite right. Today my sandwich looked like they'd made a chopped salad and threw it on my bread. The meat was cut in small pieces and kept falling out. It's making me frustrated and sad to see how the quality is sliding. It's frustrating. Last time they didn't cut them as asked, before that they put mayo on when specifically asked not to for health reasons. I'm just bummed.

    Half a sandwich (so big!)- turkey, salami, pastrami with all of the fixings!

    I got a half a sandwich, create your own with turkey, pastrami, salami, and all of the toppings. The half was huge and only $7.50. What an amazing deal! The bread was fresh and so soft. The meat was delicious and of high quality. I added a few mustard packets to the sandwich as it was a bit bland, but after adding it, the sandwich was delicious and added some zing and acidity to it. The service was quick and the restaurant was clean. I will definitely be back when I am in the area again!

    Meatball Sub

    UGH. This is the sandwich of my childhood. It's been so long since I've been to my hometown of Oly, but having had to run an errand around the area, I decided to revisit a spot I grew up eating while in town. And I can not believe how freaking good it is even still after all these years. Meconi's Italian Subs is mostly located around the Olympia area. The closest location to Seattle is in Tacoma, which operates more as a bar, but you can still get their Italian sandwiches there. However, this Lacey location is the one I used to eat at, so has a special place in my heart. There's a lot to choose from, like cold deli meats or hot sandwiches, salads, sides, etc. They make and hand form their own meatballs here, so the meatball sub is my absolute favorite here. And I don't even like meatball subs! Can you believe that? But the beefy meatballs, smothered in mozzarella and marinara will have you salivating just opening up the tin foil it's carefully placed in. Just writing this makes me wish I had a Meconi's meatball sub right now! The regular size is large enough, but if you get a large size, you will have two subs, hence, another meal! You'll want to get a large anyway because the subs here are that good. For sides they have pasta salad, potato chips, etc., and there's plenty of room to dine in. My only complaint about Meconi's is that there is not one near the Seattle area at all. But perhaps that's what's special about it and why it means so much to me. It's an Oly thing!

    Solid subs that are better priced than Subway and Jimmy John's. Great quality and friendly staff.

    LOVE everything about Meconi's. I don't get here nearly as often as I would like to because I live so far away. The Service , food , price are all excellent. The phone orders are always right and ready when we get there . We've tried everything on the menu and no complaints at all. In fact it's hard to choose because it's all so good. My go to is Turkey, but the hot subs and the tuna are outstanding as well. I don't say this about many places , but I'm pretty sure I could eat this every day for weeks and never get tired of it . Keep up the great work !!!

Usually we just order fettuccine, but we have tried the pizza as well, but today i decided to be bold and try something different. And since it was a warm day I went for one of the sandwiches instead of a hot dish. Instantly regretted my decision. A rather underwhelming 6in roll sparsely filled with salami and something they are calling prosciutto, both thinly sliced, and tomato, shredded provolone cheese(wierd) and big chunks of iceberg lettuce. The menu says it comes with soup or salad, however I was charged an additional $3.00 for a half a cup of minestrone soup. In all honesty the best part about this meal were the extra rolls I ordered. I paid $62 for my wife and my meal after tax and tip. It's very disappointing to know I could have bought a sub sandwich and a can of minestrone soup from the Safeway and not only gotten the same meal, but i would have saved myself almost $10 as well.

The ravioli had a large amount of meat. That was positive. The small caesar salad was ok. The pasta was also ok. Another person had minestrone soup and the small ravioli. He liked the soup and the ravioli. The third person had the lasagna and liked it despite the cheese that she felt like she was fighting with. The positive side was the fact that there WAS a lot of cheese. All in all a positive experience. Not sure I will be back.

We called the day of, and they were booked out until 7:45. Which makes sense considering how small the restaurant is. I'll start off by saying that the food was the highlight of the night for sure. But, the service wasn't the best from what I've heard from others. We ordered a bottle of wine, which took about 10-15 minutes to be served to us after the order was taken. Then when we were putting our appetizer order in, the server told us to wait while he handled something else. But, I've heard from close friends that the service is amazing, so maybe it was just an off-night for them. Anywho, we ordered the arancini, arugula and Gorgonzola salad, and the caprese. My favorite was the caprese. The tomato's were nice and juicy and tasted amazingly fresh. Mozzarella and basil also delicious. It was a nice refreshing appetizer. The arancini is a pretty heavy dish which makes sense since it's risotto stuffed with bolognese and cheese. I wish it was hotter, but the flavors were yummy. I ordered the bucatini that was on their specials menu. It was served with a sauce similar to Alfredo but a lot lighter than I expected. It also came with zucchini, mushrooms, and a prosciutto-like meat. It was my first time trying bucatini, and I was definitely not disappointed by it! They had great specials that night, so we were very fortunate to have caught them serving these dishes. We finished the night off with tiramisu, and it was delicious. Overall, I would definitely come back and hope for better service. But the food is something I would come back to regardless.

    This was our second visit to Pellegrino's, and we really enjoyed it both times! It's a tiny little…read moretwo-story restaurant, and we've sat upstairs on both visits. The upstairs is small and intimate, which gives the whole place a cozy, unique feel. Our waiter this time was a young gentleman who was incredibly friendly and did a great job! Three of us ordered Coors Lights in bottles, and he brought them out ice cold with a chilled glass to pour them into. When we ordered a second round, he let us know he had just put some more in the freezer, so it would be a few minutes. That little extra step made a difference...we'd much rather wait a few minutes for an ice-cold beer than have it brought out warm! I ordered the spaghetti with their house-made Bolognese sauce and added a meatball, and WOW. The sauce had the perfect combination of slight sweetness, a little spice from the sausage, and that tangy tomato flavor. So good! And I'm usually not a huge fan of restaurant meatballs because they can be tough or rubbery, but this one was soft, juicy, and packed with flavor. Sean got the lasagna and absolutely loved it! Our friends who invited us out ordered the steak and spaghetti Bolognese, and everyone was happy with their meals. The steak was cooked exactly how it was requested, and the quality of the food for the price was really good. Overall, Pellegrino's is just a great little place. Warm, inviting atmosphere, friendly service, delicious food, and a fun, intimate setting that feels a little different from your typical Italian restaurant. Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for a place to enjoy a good meal with friends. We'll definitely be back!

Right away there was confusion at check-in--they called for a party of 9 with no name, and the host was rude when we responded using the first name instead of the last. After being seated, it took about 10 minutes just to get drinks, and then another 30 minutes before our server took our food order. During that time, we weren't asked about appetizers or offered any drink refills. About an hour later, the server came back and told us the kitchen was backed up and they were "just now making our food," which honestly felt like our order may have been forgotten. At that point, all of our drinks were empty and I had to ask for refills. While we were still waiting, another server came to the table asking how one of our steaks was cooked, which added to the confusion. Our food finally arrived after about an hour and a half. Unfortunately, the issues didn't stop there: My spaghetti and meatballs was incorrect, but I kept it since I didn't want to wait again with a toddler. My sister's husband's meal was never even put in--the server admitted this. My sister's fish and chips came out cold. No one checked back to see how the food was. Drinks were left empty again with no refills offered. We were never asked about dessert. Plates were never cleared, even after I stacked empties at the end of the table to help. Every time we needed something, we had to flag someone down. To make matters worse, the checks came out incorrect with items swapped between them. I've worked as a server/bartender for four years, and my niece is also a server, so we completely understand how busy and stressful things can get. But this experience missed the mark on multiple levels. Even when things go wrong, basic service--like keeping drinks filled and checking on guests--should still be happening. This was easily the worst restaurant experience I've had. It was especially disappointing because we're an easy group and typically tip very well. Unfortunately, we will not be returning.

Terrible parking - had to circle a couple times for street parking. Place had maybe 8 total people so not busy. Went up to Server/Cashier near front to let her know I was there for pickup and was immediately told "The servers like it when you stand by the table" in a mildly pretentious tone. No "Hi" or "How can I help you?" This is downtown Olympia so typical establishment behavior. Not surprised. Place was clean and very nicely decorated.Took about 5 minutes to get my pizza which was surprisingly quick. The Pizza I generally like my pizzas crisp and this was not even close. Very soggy, and not much flavor (Pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, olives). This was thin crust so that potentially had something to do with taste and texture. I would compare this Pizza to what you get at MOD. It's not too bad, but not too good. Average at best and I expected a lot better. Cost was about normal (14" pizza and bread appetizer for $50 plus tax). Marinara sauce for bread was delicious. All in all, it wasn't a terrible experience. It's by no means gourmet or fancy pizza. Perhaps the rest of their menu is better. Server needs to chill out and brush up on her customer service skills. 3 stars at best.
