Dessert- drowning in hot espresso, where's my spoon?!
Olimpia A.

Outside dining is wonderful & fresh air is welcoming. Our service was very welcoming. Appetizers of flat bread - yum.

Pesto Pasta lunch portion

My best friend and I went here to enjoy their lunch special. We walked and were greeted and was asked if we wanted to sit inside or outside. We chose outside (there isn't a lot of roomy seating choices inside so outside was the best for that time). The lady gave us a water pitcher and menus. We decided on doing the pasta and salad for our lunches. It fell within the lunch prices and looked and sounded pretty good too. When she came back she took our food order. Carbonara and a house salad and a vinaigrette dressing (when ordering the salad the waitress asked us what dressing we would like. Proceeded to give us options like a green goddess which she said was the best one and few other choices. The pasta came out right after the salads. It was pretty tasty.) Pesto Pasta and a side house salad with green goddess dressing. (I had chosen the green goddess dressing since she rated it so highly and everything did come out in good timing. The salads then more water and our pastas. There was nothing wrong with the food.. ) Until our bill came back and we both looked and realized that the prices were a bit different. Both of us were charged extra for the salad dressing we chose. We weren't told that the different salad dressings would be an upcharge. And some of the pastas were also an upcharge. When we asked the waitress she replied that if we just chose the oil and vinegar supplied on the table that it would've stayed within the lunch prices. Also, that she wished the different salad dressing prices would be printed on the menu. We went over the prices again, paid, and left. It was a nice day to enjoy food outside. Just a bit thrown back about the upcharges. They either need to tell the customers that their choices are more or print it on the menu. Otherwise, it's would've been a 5 rating.

1st time trying to this place & in not going to lie, it took 2 hours from the the time we entered until we left. Some of the food was good but, the service 2/10. It took 30 min for the server to just walk up to our table and ask for our drinks. I understand they were busy, but don't be taking in more orders and customers if you can't serve the ones inside the restaurant. The pizza was a little over cooked and burnt to where it curled up! The pasta was good. $100 bill a little pricey. Just wish we would have had better service. The server just got our drinks and food order then someone brought our food. Then after that, maybe saw her once when we needed our check. Idk if we will be back bc it was def a long wait

Living on the east coast there was no comparison of pizza til I found Pizzeria La Gitana. Nice chewy thin crust; homemade pasta and Tiramisu!!! And wait staff is great!!!

Vanilla gelato

Wow!!!! Me and my family have been going to this place for years, it's so good! My family use to live in Italy and they said this place reminds them of it. Their pizza is made with ingredients transported from Italy as well: it's authentic. The place is pretty and the staff is friendly and attentive. I would say the only complaint I have about this location is there's a lot of flies inside the restaurant, going on the food. But it's understandable because there's outdoor seating, so the waiters are going back and forth. I tried their gelato for the first time and it was AMAZING!!! I crave it all the time. it's yummy. This place is a must try:)

Been here three times now. Each time I have been quite impressed and left full…read more I did the Tour of Italy twice and was amazed. Their pesto is amazing, and their chicken parmesan is very flavorful and not overcooked. The fettuccine alfredo is amazing as well. The last time I went I got just the northern Chicken Parmesan and loved it. It comes with spaghetti so it's a more complete meal. The place is always busy and so it can be loud. They service is usually good, doing the best they can. Desert I've tried their tiramisu (loved it!) and got spumoni last time from a local creamery. The only downside is parking can be a nightmare. They don't have many spaces so you might have to walk a bit to get there, but it is well worth it.

We came in with a party of 11 for my niece's birthday and unfortunately had a very disappointing…read moreexperience from start to finish. 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.

The pizza was phenomenal- steak delicious- meat sauce pasta incredible and brushetta to die for! Each dish is obviously made with care and flavor that you can tell comes from passion and pride. Their wine selection is excellent and perfectly paired with the menu. What truly sets this place apart, though, is the integrity and kindness of the people who run it. I accidentally left my purse on the floor with my ID, cash, and credit cards inside. Not only did they keep it completely safe, but THE OWNER personally drove it to me the next day when the restaurant was closed. That level of honesty and going above and beyond is rare. The purse itself was worth several thousand dollars. In it was 2 Day passes to Disneyland - my family was leaving on vacation in 2 days (I know how stupid to have in my bad but I just picked them up at Costco). Amazing food, warm hospitality, and even more amazing people. This place deserves all the support of the Gig Harbor community and beyond and praise--integrity, excellent food and service highly recommend.

We try to support local businesses and don't like to criticize unnecessarily. However, our experience tonight was uncomfortable enough that we felt it was important to share. I called ahead and was told we could put our names on the waitlist. My husband went in to do that, and there was clearly some confusion about whether reservations are taken or whether you must physically wait on site. That misunderstanding alone wouldn't have been an issue. What was upsetting was how he was treated. The woman who appeared to be the owner's wife was extremely rude and abrupt. She pointed at him and said, "No! He can sit and wait!" in a way that was demeaning and made him feel very uncomfortable. Regardless of the policy, there is simply no reason to speak to a customer that way. Because of that interaction, we chose not to stay and instead drove to a nearby town for another Italian dinner. The contrast was striking--we were greeted warmly, treated with kindness, and had a wonderful experience. That's where we'll be taking our business going forward. We understand restaurants are busy and stressful, but how customers are treated matters just as much as the food.

Our first time at this restaurant: host was nice and they had live music…read more When we saw the menu was small, we knew the food was going to be good. Our waitress was nice and helpful recommending dishes (we couldn't make up our minds!) We ordered the pesto gnocchi to share. It was heavenly! Their bread was fresh out of the oven and the rosemary hummus was so good. Chicken piccata was very rich in flavor and the portion size was big. Strozzapreti alla Norcina was so good! Creamy and rich in flavor. Noodles were made in house. The cannoli was loaded. The amarena cherries were delightful Note to add: we showed up at almost 8 pm (closing time is 9) people were showing up around 8:45 and our host was ready to seat them. It was nice that they didn't have a dining cutoff like other restaurants. I noticed a lot of DoorDash orders, which again emphasized on the good food. Overall a great experience, great staff and entertainment. Great food. We will definitely be coming back to try the other dishes that peaked our interest.

I wish I could give 6 stars, this was an amazing dinner and would highly recommend…read more I booked a very last minute table for 10 for work, and the team was extremely accommodating to getting us in. The food was truly fantastic. The antipasto board was so detailed and the dinner exceeded all expectations. I got the halibut with polenta and capers and I WISH I could have eaten all of it. The fish was perfectly cooked, the dish was perfectly balanced. I wish I lived in Olympia because this would be a new go-to place. It was a very cozy restaurant with a large bar and extensive wine selection. Perfect for an elevated client dinner. I truly can't stop thinking about this fish and can't wait for the next time I am in Olympia!
