Pereddies

My husband and I were driving back from Grand Rapids and were in a pizza kind of mood. We found this gem on Unilocal.The first intriguing thing about this place is entering through a deli type store filled with all Italian items! Then you are created by a charming atmosphere with romantic lights. We ordered an appetizer of spinach, mushrooms and such scrumptious flavors. Then our pizza arrived with reminders of time spent in Italy. Delicious, flavorful with perfect crust. We will definitely return!
Oh yea, our waiter Simon, was so friendly and helpful.

Nice place to take clients, great food, staff and atmosphere. Not sure I would go myself.

Very good dinner. 4 of us. We had salads, entries and took home a dessert. Everything was fresh and tasty. This is one of our favorite restaurants

We were in the area seeing some friends, and they had ranted and raved about Pereddies, so we made sure to make this a stop with them.
A very cozy restaurant that is nestled away in a grocery store /​deli area which might confuse you as it did to me when we first walked in… but shortly you are greeted by some of the friendliest servers that are waiting on you hand and foot. Anything you could possibly want, you can have it.
The atmosphere is an interesting one, as it seems as though the restaurant was a last minute idea after the store was built. They have enough room for about 40 people, but it is a very close and personal setting.
We had a great evening with some fantastic wine, delicious appetizers, and when we were ready for the main course, almost everyone ended up taking more than half of their meal home because we were so full from drinking wine, eating soup, salad, and their bread basket.

Lived in Holland my whole life and finally decided to try it out…
Food was fine~not great~not bad, portions were small, and prices high.
The area we sat in was in very poor shape. The umbrellas, ceiling fans (and most everything else), were covered in years worth of dust and stains and there is an obvious leak coming through the ceiling that appears to have been there for quite some time.
A thorough cleaning and some building repairs would make a world of difference as far as atmosphere.
Staff was very friendly and did an excellent job so that makes it easier to ignore all of the other shortcomings.

We we’re confused the moment we walked in. Is it a café or a grocery store? Then you get to the back and it’s like they we’re trying to do fine dining. It was cluttered/​cramped yet parts of the place were cute. The visit really wasn’t that bad until checking out the deli…
Condensation in the fridge and drips of water over the food. Too bad because some of those pasta dishes looked really good. :(

We are renting here in Holland to hide from Ft. Myers 90 + degree days and are enjoying MI weather. We went to Pereddies last night with MI friends. The bakery and deli are awesome — very Italian. The dining room is nice and very attentive service with Simon as our server. However, the chicken piccata was off base and not to my liking. They served a large chicken beast vs thin slices. Not appetizing
I asked for a side of meatballs as they were homemade which were small and over-​baked. The others enjoyed their dinners– Cajun scampi appetizer and chicken pomodoro. Bread/​butter was awesome. The desserts were ok especially the one with marscapone. Good wine choices. Ask for Simon the Polish server but very familiar with Italian fare.

Just celebrated our 30^th wedding anniversary with a quiet dinner for two at the quaint and attentive pereddies. I was so pleased with everything. The Sauvignon blanc was superb. I ordered the salmon with veggie medley. I was pleasantly surprised that the veggies were grilled and seasoned beautifully. And it was a relief that the salmon was not overcooked — oh joy to have food carefully prepared! Hubby ordered the special and it was. Portions were just right. Thanks pereddies for a fantastic experience

My most recent visit to Pereddies was mediocre at best. The attentiveness of the bartender/​server was miserable, however she was very attentive to her friends sitting at the bar. The food arrived luke warm and dry. The server seemed put out when I asked for salt/​pepper and parmesan and never offered bread and olive oil. BTW, her friends got all the condiments they needed. Probably not going back again for quite awhile. Its really to bad customer service has gotten this bad.

I went there for a large group gathering and they stuck us in the crowded back room that looked like a place where people played poker or held meetings. Zero ambience
We had one waiter for a group of about 40 so needless to say there was a wait for everthing even though we ordered off a preset menu. The food was just ok since like I said we ordered off a preset menu.
The restaurant itself is a lovely place just don’t recommend their banquet room or whatever it is.

We arranged to meet friends at the restaurant as we had previously had great meals. This time it was such a disappointment. We tried two pasta dishes and scallops. The scallops and risotto had Little flavor. The pasta was dry and bland. Our friends left most of their meal. We then thought we would try dessert. None were made In House. They also ran out of splits of Prcessco. The water was very nice and the atmosphere is charming but the food left much to be desired.

Celebrated my parents 50^th here and the restaurant went above and beyond to make it a special time for us all! The food and service was impeccable! We look forward to our next visit!

Back when I ate grains, I loved their pesto pasta. But nowadays I go for the meats and cheeses! This evening my husband and I shared the Brie and the Antipasto. I probably wouldn’t get the latter again because it’s very heavy on the veggies and crackers, and very light on the meats and cheeses. The Brie is a pretty small serving as well — it’s definitely on the pricey size considering the portions.
Last time I was here I really enjoyed the Sausage and Fennel, as well!

Keep in mind, I’ve never eaten here in the «restaurant» side. I go to Perredies for lunch often and order from the deli. I’ve never, ever, been disappointed. I love this place.
Pine Nut Pesto is one of my favorite meals, period.

Located in Washington Square in Holland Michigan, this Italian eatery is tucked away in the heart of Holland. It had been 15 – 20 years since my previous visits and it did not disappoint. It was as fantastic as I remembered it was. The restaurant side is old style elegant, but not in a pretentious way. They also have a bar side that looked more modern and looked like a great place to have an appetizer, share a dessert or a drink with a friend or a date. They also have a deli section that offers meats, cheeses, breads, stuffed olives and desserts.
Our food was out of this world, We had Scallops and Lobster Risotto, sausage rigatoni and chicken saltimbocca. We finished it up by taking some Tiramisu home. Excellent food and service. We will definitely be back soon! Well done Pereddies!

The last time we went here I got the lasagne, it looked delicious covered in marinara with melted mozz on top BUT on the first bite and further inspection this lasagne was old with a rubbery texture. It seemed like they were disguising the (few too many days) old dish with fresh sauce and cheese. Unacceptable! It was quite high priced too. They do have delicious homemade breads and desserts. The atmosphere isn’t real warm and inviting, tired outdated old world décor, uncomfy chairs. Based on the bad food experience alone, I won’t patronize this place anytime soon.

Only ate here once and it was carryout. A local took me here. I could do without the overpriced soups/​salads/​sandwiches. Food was OK. They have a cute sit down area. Not sure if food is any better there.

Love this place. Favorite is coming to the Scusi Bar and enjoying some happy hour time. The bartenders are always attentive and the food is super fresh. And they always accommodate.

I don’t understand the great reviews on this place! I guess I’ve only been here once and should probably give it another chance, but… My first experience was horrible! Food was middle of the road and the waitstaff was so rude! The meal I ordered came with a salad, I informed the waitress that I didn’t want the salad, she informed me that is was free and it wasn’t going to cost me anything. I look at her oddly and replied, I don’t like salads! Did she think I was worried about the cost of salad!?? I felt like the entire staff acted as though they were above doing their job!

We visited for the first time with another couple for dinner at 8pm on a Saturday. We were very happy with the quality of the food and wine that we ordered, the value, and the atmosphere. We had a reservation and had to wait a couple of minutes, but that was actually kind of nice, since you can drool over the dessert case and browse their retail food shop while you wait.
Can’t give it 5 stars, though, because the service experience was disappointing. It was definitely efficient, but our server honestly did not smile a single time during our visit. It actually put a damper on our experience — we talked about it at the table — and led me to notice that NONE of the staff were smiling, including the hostess. Granted, it was the evening after Valentine’s Day, and perhaps they had been swamped that day, or earlier that evening, but while we were there only about half the tables were full, so it was hard to say what was going on. It’s just hard to have a really positive experience when the staff seem so depressed.
