I gave the service five stars even though it was very slow when I arrived they were very busy and only two wait staff it is hard to get help these days, The food was excellent The best Italian food I have had in a while the wait was worth the food experience.

My guest ordered chicken piccata, was served a large house salad with chicken. Garlic bread, ordered first, came last. I ordered shrimp piccata and was served correctly. Both dishes were delicious.

Sam's Ristorante has THE best pizza we have ever had! We love the Chicken Carbonara pizza it has perfectly seasoned chicken and so much flavor!! We have tried others and they are all amazing as well! Hands down our favorite place for Pizza in town!!!

Not the fanciest dining area, but Excellent food. I can hardly wait to come back. The Bolognese sauce is rich and creamy... (amazing), and the house salad dressing is good. Nice place....

Our family always gets take-out. Our favorite are the fried mushroom. The order is always accurate and we try to taste something new each order. Never disappointed.

My family use to love Sam's but the last time we went which was December 27 it was terrible! The wait staff was very slow even though there was less then 20 people in the place and they had plenty of servers. We didn't get any bread with our meal, they gave me water instead of lemonade and then was shocked when I told them, they forgot my daughter's fries when she ordered the spaghetti and meat ball. The meatball had the texture of wet cat food and cat food would have tasted better then that! The sauce was sweet and no other flavor, the cheapest sauce you buy at a store would have probably tasted better. My husband ordered the seafood ravioli he got 3 ravioli and so much sauce it looked like he ordered soup and the quality of the ingredients for a $24 was imitation lobster and crab and like 2 shrimp, it was terrible! I ordered the veal piccata and the pasta that came with it looked like it was reheated and tasted just as bad as it looked with the same flavorless sweet sauce. Then the amount of food my son got on his plate for kids chicken and fries wouldn't fill up a one year old it was like 10 fries and the world's smallest 2 pieces of chicken I had ever seen. Regular chicken nuggets would have been bigger. It was such a let down compared to the usual. We won't be back it was so bad and we use to be eat here regularly but this experience with the amount of money they charged its not worth it. Beware!

We ordered Sam’s tonight for the first time and we will definitely be back. We ordered carry out, my husband Matt went in to pick it up and Sam showed him around the kitchen and made him a fresh mozzarella stick and deep fried mushrooms so he could try them fresh on the spot. I think my husband fell in love lol. My husband got a pepperoni pizza, I got the lobster ravioli and we also got an order of the fried ravioli. Everything was absolutely phenomenal, and that mozzarella stick that he made for us was out of this world, jaw dropping, delicious. You can really tell everything is homemade there from their sauces to the mozzarella sticks and everything in between. Sam was very nice and personable and I love that he is confident enough in his restaurant to have a customer see the kitchen….that says a lot! Thank you to Sam and his wife and we will be seeing you soon, your food is delizioso! *chefs kiss*

Great service and great food. Loved the atmosphere. Portions were great! I’ve been wanting to try this place for a while and my husband and I finally came out and I was very satisfied. We will definitely come back with friends.

1st time and probably last time visit.Went with a coworker over lunch. Walked in and the place was completely empty at about 11:30. The waiter was nice but I think he was confused on what I ordered. I wanted the 1st lunch menu item which was a sausage tortellini. It has three sauce choices and I chose alfredo. I get my food and it is just cheese tortellini with alfredo sauce. Which supposedly was an up charge of 3.00 which I did not see. The Alfredo was awesome I will give them that. They also charge you to use a card which I seen no signage for that as well. The waiter knew I wasn't pleased. Over 20 dollars for cheese tortellini and a drink.
