Great food; Great service! Great food; Great service! Our server was exceptionally helpful in recommending what to order.

We have been regulars at Sammy's for years. After several good experiences with the family, I decided to bring a group of out-of-town business guests to dinner there on a quiet Tuesday night. Despite reserving a proper table in the dining room, our party of eight was seated at a high top in the bar. Strike one. Our server -- "Renee" -- took drink orders and put in appetizers, then promptly forgot about us. We had been seated for a full hour before we had the opportunity to order our meal, then sat for another hour without a single Renee sighting. Strike two. By the time main courses were brought out (by another server, two at a time, so everyone waited awkwardly for the remaining dishes as the food on the table became cold), we had been sitting at our high top for two hours, and Renee had become the punchline to each and every joke. Where was she? On a long smoke break? Abducted by aliens? Disappointing, embarrassing experience with business guests. Then Renee added a 20% auto-gratuity for large parties. Strike three. I will not be back.

Renee was an outstanding server - attentive, timely, friendly and knowledgeable. The restaurant was packed and it wasn't easy to carry on a conversation across a larger table, but still fun.
Eric
We all drove from different areas to meet halfway at this restaurant. The service was great, and all the staff were very friendly. Our food was delicious. Will definitely return again and recommend to others. Thank you!

Our experience was great! Our server (I think Amanda?) was superb. She couldn't have been more pleasant and efficient. Our selections of chicken pesto pasta, pasta w/ meatballs and salad were excellent. We look forward to coming back.
Sarah
Great service, great meal, and lovely environment. There was a lot of people there, but still wasn't too loud.
Sonia
My favorite Italian restaurant in the area. As you walk in you can smell the fresh bread and the Italian spices. We love to start with their salad. They are all great. My husband loves the veal picatta. The lobster and crab ravioli are scrumptious. The lasagna is a must. We also love the mussels and love to dip their amazing bread in the broth. They make this unbelievable dipping sauce for the bread that the should bottle and sell. I can make a meal out of it. Desserts are to die for. The service is always great. Waiters are friendly and very helpful. Will be back soon!

Our food was not hot. The wait staff wasn't attentive. We had to ask another staff member for refills. This is not the norm. Usually our exoerience here is top tier. We have had birthday celebrations and girls day here. This time was very disappointing. After we told our waitress about our experience she didn't even apologize. She said she had a large party she is working with. We still tipped her, but none of us were happy.

Great restaurant. So many great options. Good for children. The appetizers are awesome. Meatballs are classic
Eileen
Delicious food as usual. Staff attentive. It would be good if they would offer soup and have parmesan cheese at the table.
Pauly was an awesome server !! He deserves a Gold Star and elevated our experience. Sammy's was having a private party so it was loud and very busy in the area where we were seated. He offered a new table away from the area as it became louder. Really Appreciated!

I came here for my birthday dinner and had a really nice experience. The staff were kind and attentive, and the food was excellent. The duck ravioli was flavorful and well prepared, and the chocolate cake was a perfect way to end the meal. I appreciated the thoughtful service and would definitely return.

The restroom was uncleaned and had a stinch of a soiled baby diaper. Some of the dining tables were in close proximity of the restrooms. The food was ok, not grand and was not hot! Price was ok-similar to the Olive Garden.

Our first bisiy to Sammy's Trattoria. The decor and layout of the restaurant was appealing. It was very busy on a Saturday night. When we arrived a couple of minutes before our reservation time, there were 5 other groups waiting to be greeted/seated. There was no one at the hostess desk, and it was about 5 minutes before anyone appeared. One of the groups before us left, and walked over to CPK. It was about 10 minutes before we were reached, and the hostess indicated that we'd need to wait until a table was cleared. When we were finally taken to a table it was in a covered outside area, which was fine. Unfortunately, they had the outside large window open behind our table with a steady breeze coming inside in addition to having the ceiling fans going in that area. Since it was also very chilly night, it was very cold. Our server Renee was very nice and attentive. The food was very good - the complimentary bread was delicious and my husband really enjoyed the bread dipping spread. We will definitely be back but we will either specify we'd like to be seated inside or we will wear coats.

First time diner in Hunt Valley location though regular in Mt. Vernon. Very busy upon arrival but promptly seated. Friendly and professional service. Entrees very similar to other location although the tasty Julia Salad seemed less favorable than one in Mt. Vernon. Nice evening with good service and tasty food.
