Is "it's all perfectly ok" grammatically correct ?
I was listening to an English podcast, then I heard the podcaster saying this. If you have other examples using this structure, please tell me so I can understand better.
Thanks in advance!

As far as I know, yes. It's a variation of the common expression: "It's all ok", here "perfectly" adds extra reassurance.
The grammatical construction used here can be recognised as such: PRONOUN + it's (to be) + all + COMPLEMENT. "All" is used to qualify the pronoun, giving a sense of entirety. Other examples:
They are all aliens.
It's all green. (Eg. talking about a house)
We are all humans.
Take a look at section 3.1 here: http://linguapress.com/grammar/points/all-whole.htm.
