A bit on the pricey side for what you get but the taste of the food made up for forgetting to add one of the salad dressing to our delivery order and the bread was okay but there wasn’t any oil and herbs usually served by fine Italian places or butter. The portobello Mushroom Ravioli was fresh and tasteful. The Alfredo was nice and creamy. The meatballs were not like mama used to make a bit on the small side for price and not very tasteful.

My husband and I stopped by Sam’s because our favorite Italian restaurant was too busy. My husband had never been to Sam’s and it had been quite a while since I had dined there. We had a fabulous experience. The atmosphere created was perfect for an Italian restaurant, from the dining room to the music. We love booths and we sat in a lovely spot. The waitress seated us immediately and was very attentive. The food was outstanding! My husband chose the scallops and shrimp with angel hair pasta. I chose chicken with spinach, sun dried tomatoes, and portabello mushrooms over fettuccine and it was delicious! Dessert was cheesecake and a cannoli. We also had Italian margaritas. The whole dining experience was wonderful and we will be going back to Sam’s again very soon. I believe it was the owner who stopped by our table to talk to us for a few minutes too. Highly recommend!

Been coming here on a regular basis for several years. Hosted several events here and the staff has been exceptional, professional and quick to attend to any needs. The food is excellent...calzones are the best I've ever had. The house/special salad is amazing too. Nice atmosphere for a dinner meeting, or family/friends dinner. Kind of best of both styles of dining so to speak. Carryout area is a quick in and out for pick up too.

One of the rudest encounters to purchase food I have been witness too. Will tell everyone I know about this ignorance. Attempted to request food, employee was watching tv and stated he could not help me and walked in back. Another white male walked up and rudely facing the opposite direction of me while on computer register and stated what do you want with major attitude. I stated I would like to se find out pricing and sizes. Employee tossed paper menu on the counter with attitude and no respect for myself or the business, nor true customer service to support the business. I stated with that horrible attitude you can keep your food and you just lost a large order over $200 plus for my large group of employees.

Happened to drive past at dinner time. It looked pretty. I looked up the menu and reviews and decided to stop. Great decision. Amber, our server, was wonderful. We ordered the hand tossed pizza. Loaded with lots of cheese and crunchy crust. We would definitely return.

Don’t do it! Waitress from crazy town! Awful experience. Our orders were wrong, she never checked on us to make sure our food was okay after we received it and never cleared our dirty dishes. Our bill was forced on us before clearing our dishes or even offering us the dessert that came with the meal. And then! Gratuity on our bill for a party of3. Never ever again!!

Entered carry out door and four males were standing around talking about non work issues and no one came to assist me. After standing there a lil bit someone said we will be with you and the workers looked at me and kept talking. I turned away and walked out. I dont understand the lack of work ethic. I am a paying customer and no one came to assist me.

The pizza here is served hot and it’s very good. The restaurant was recently redecorated and now has a more contemporary feel than in the past. I like that the management is working to keep up with the times and has their eye on serving the customer.

Since moving to the area we have enjoyed this place over the past 4 years but sadly things are going down hill. On 2 recent visits our orders were messed up and we only got part of our meal. The wait staff is so minimal and the priority is given to large parties and people utilizing their banquet facilities. The food is fine but again it's very disappointing when you pay for something, get the wrong things and the most they offer up is a sorry and then totally forget what their meals actually offer. Also handicap parking at the front of the building is minimal and the entrance at the back has always been locked so you have to navigate to the front of the building.

Attended an event here and it has great pizza. We were served quite a spread of different kinds of pizza and salad. Some stuffed, thin crust and thick crust. All the pizza was very tasty and good cheese!

They were able to accommodate our entire soccer team for lunch. The servers did an amazing job and the food was fast and good. The also have a large gluten free menu which was great to see.

Looks like some old mob deals could have gone down here. Service was good . Prices a bit stiff, but everything went well. Ample bread. Good wine. Good cargo load before a tough mudder . May return next year.

The food was cold / took forever to get it / they brought the or'derves out after the main course / Never saw the "Cheesy Garlic Bread" that was special ordered and charged for / and the manager had a really nasty attitude ..... "NEVER AGAIN" !!! This was a preplanned "50th" birthday party with 45 invited & confirmed quests !!!!
