Have wanted to try Sammy’s for years and the hubby and I finally went. We called to make a reservation and the person who answered was more than accommodating. We arrived a few minutes early and waited while they cleared a table for us. There were only two tables that weren’t occupied. The space is smaller and the tables are closer together but somehow once you sit down you don’t feel like you are sitting on top of others and you still feel like you are having dinner privately. Only two servers to work the room but they handle it very well especially considering they do it all including the clearing and setting of tables. Erin, our server had the bottle of wine I brought open and on the table before I even realized it (pro). We ordered the Roasted peppers/fresh mozzarella and the antipasti appetizers and both are good however the roasted pepper app was excellent. Menu has plenty of options and all dinners come with bread and salad. The salad first appears to be nothing special until you taste the dressing! It was a house balsamic and it was fantastic. The scallops I ordered were seared and blackened to PERFECTION. My husband’s shrimp were tender, the best sautéed shrimp I’ve had in quite awhile. Both of our dishes were simpler in presentation, served over angel hair which was ideally prepared, not overcooked. The flan for dessert was probably the best I’ve had. Even sent a photo to my daughter in Chicago who is a foodie and she commented “oooohhh, that’s falling apart perfectly”-
If you haven’t tried Sammy’s you should! Just don’t forget your own bottle of wine or whatever spirits you enjoy….it’s BYOB.

Hungry driving from NH home, I searched for a restaurant we could have a good meal with fresh ingredients, no fast or processed food for us, and found Sammy’s as we were driving by the area. We sat outside with our dog Enzo and had a delicious meal prepared by Sammy himself and served by lovely Erin finished with one if the best Tiramisu’s I have ever had. We highly recommend it.

This place is a gem. It is small, so make a reservation. But the pasta is fresh and the service is always on point.

We had an amazing experience at Sammy’s Authentic Italian Restaurant! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and inviting — like a true slice of Italy.
Our server Adam was exceptional — friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely attentive without ever being overbearing. He made thoughtful recommendations and made sure everything was perfect throughout the meal.
The food? Absolutely outstanding. The pasta was fresh and perfectly cooked
