Great Food! Lasagna ,Salad and garlic bread.
Sam's Ristorante is a local restaurant in the heart of Defiance. Their heart was on display today, as they partnered with St.Paul's United Methodist Church to provide a free Thanksgiving dinner to the community. The homemade lasagna is second to none and the house salad dressing is amazing! Very grateful for this local gem.
the poor waitress was alone to take orders from party of 6, 4, and a large birthday party 15 plus. She was over heated and over worked. Felt so bad for her. There was a guy in kitchen cooking and a young boy. the boy could of came out and busted tables or help take food out at least. I started Bussing tables for her.

Sam's Ristorante is a highly recommended Italian restaurant in Defiance. The food is absolutely delicious, with highlights including their lasagna, salad, and garlic bread. The restaurant offers a variety of options, from classic dishes to the best pizza in town, such as the Chicken Carbonara pizza, which is loved for its perfectly seasoned chicken and rich flavor. The house salad was fantastic. The staff are friendly and attentive, although service can sometimes be slow during busy times, with only two wait staff managing a full house. The decor is lacking, atmosphere feels stale. The restaurant is kid-friendly with a good selection of vegetarian and meat-based options. Parking is easily accessible, and the overall dining experience is wonderful, making it a favorite spot for many locals.
