Early reservation, great ambiance. Ordered The carpaccio and eggplant Parma appetizer. Both are best in class authentic dishes. Absolutely perfect. I have nothing but high praise. Entree was the filet. Ordered & served rare. Steak was melt in your mouth perfect. Best steak in Olympia...More

If you're in the mood for fabulous Italian food with fresh ingredients and a variety of old-world specialties, I highly recommend Bailico's. They'll also recommend wine pairings, including half-pours, at equally reasonable prices. This is a great place to treat others or yourself.

Amazing food and service. The owner is willing to go above and beyond to accommodate his customers. There are gluten-free options including bread, pasta, and housemade ravioli. There are many great wines to choose from as well as other drinks. While it doesn't appear particularly...More

We found this little place tucked into an obscure storefront in downtown Olympia. Wow. The food, albeit expensive, was perfect, authentic and served with skill. It is the perfect place to celebrate that special event or person.

We tried several dishes and most were excellent. We did the 4-course sampler. Seafood appetizer with lemon aioli was a standout. Turkey cutlets with wild berry sauce was a little mushy. The bread was surprisingly disappointing--they should just grab some baguettes at the Bread Peddler....More

I think we may have visited on a off night because only half of everything we ordered was excellent. I ordered the braised wild boar pappardelle and it was as tough as beef jerky but the mushroom tagliolini was the best we have ever tasted....More

Reasonable food but overpriced. Better than most places in Olympia. Good choices. Food is fresh. Service ok.
