The food is excellent, prepared as requested. There are always interesting specials and a varied menu with plenty of choices. We've had a few different waiters, but our favorite is Carlos. He is pleasant, efficient, and takes great care of us. The complimentary biscotti and amaretto at the end of the meal is a nice touch. This restaurant has quickly become one of our favorites in Palm Springs!5/3/2013 12:00:00 AMThis is a wonderful, reliableThis is a wonderful, reliable restaurant in downtown Palm Springs. As someone who lives in the neighborhood, I sometimes want escape the hubbub on Palm Canyon Drive, and though The Tuscan Grill is right on Palm Canyon, it is recessed off the street and provides an oasis from the hustle and bustle. I usually sit outside, though the porch and inside are good, too.
The food here is consistent and good. In the several times I have dined at this restaurant, everyone with whom I have dined has enjoyed it.
The one and only reservation I have about the Tuscan Grill is the service. It is usually enthusiastic but amateurish. You have to manage the serving staff to get what you want.4/27/2013 12:00:00 AMAlate dinner was terrific.Alate dinner was terrific. Superb staff. Food was very well-prepared.

Great outdoor dining. To die for Steak Diane. Lovely evening.4/23/2013 12:00:00 AMDowntown diningLove that the patio expands to the courtyard for outdoor dining. The service was on the slower side but when you are catching up on conversation with friends that doesn't matter much. The dinners were pretty good, not exceptional, but flavors and atmosphere you'd still come back for.4/21/2013 12:00:00 AMLiked the food, had excellentLiked the food, had excellent service. Only concern was the sound of the live band. Did not seem to be particularly good and, although not in the dining area there was no separation so noise went all the way through the restaurant. Strangely, there was also background music in the dining area so there was a distinct clash of sounds.4/19/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat NightOnce again the OpenTable app proved worthy as I used it to book a last minute reservation at Sammy G's - Requested an outside upper patio for 2.......... As things go I had to change the reservation last minute to a party of 4.......... Upon arrival they had a table for 4 just as requested and that is a great start to the evening! Service was great, food on point, and could not have asked for much better....... Oh, and I failed to mention I booked this on Friday afternoon for that evening and the Opentable app did not disappoint!4/19/2013 12:00:00 AMWhile visiting Palm Springs,While visiting Palm Springs, we wanted a "homey" feeling Italian Restaurant and discovered Sammy's. No stranger to the Coachella Valley and the plethera of restaurants to choose from, Sammy's is a local, hidden treasure with friendly wait staff, delicious Italian cuisine, moderate prices, a full bar and wine list. We especially apprciated their accommodating our Therapy Dog, "Dexter", a large English Cream Golden Retriever. Our patio space was comfortable . . . with a heater for an unusual cool evening in the desert. The check came with two snifters full of Amaretto and home made Biscotti's. Thanks to Sergio (waiter), and the entertainment for the evening, Paul Willette, with his classic renditions of songs from the 30's thru the 90's.4/16/2013 12:00:00 AMBest restaurant in Palm SpringsAnother pleasant experience at Sammy G's! Bianca ensured we had our choice of prime spots to sit & we chose the balcony location for four. Our friendly waiter Robert paid close attention & made sure we got what we needed. He also helped customize some menu items to our liking. The assisting table staff kept water in our glasses & cleared the table with great timing. The food is always consistent & well prepared. The veal parmesan was outstanding! From the seafood, chicken marsala & lasagna, we all were thrilled with our choices & sufficiently sufficed by the large portions. Desert was tasty. After dinner, we strolled over to the bar area for some live music & dancing. The people watching at the bar is fun too. Highly recommended!4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMMy wife and I had a wonderfulMy wife and I had a wonderful night out at Sammy G's. The service, food, and entertainment

There were several wait staff on hand and many contributed to our fine dining experience. Although there were several diners, we had no problem communicating with each other or the wait staff.

Will be back:-)))3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMWe had a lovely quiet tableWe had a lovely quiet table in a private room, away from all the energy of the bar and outdoor dining , so conversation was easy. We had a fabulous waiter who took care of our every need. The food was so delicious, we had difficulty deciding which of the 4 entrees was the best. The sea bass was cooked to perfection, the risotto was superb, the seafood pasta was incredible and the eggplant was execellent. We shared the most tender, delicate calamari to start. Couldn't find one fault with the entire evening. If you don't try this place, you are missing a great experience.3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat dining as always. FoodGreat dining as always.
