    Food tasted great, especially mozzarella sticks. Caprese salad could be a little more robust. Tiramisu was excellent. Wines were inexpensive but not very many options.

    Service staff was great as always. They were out of what i wanted to order and didn’t let me know until about 10-15 minutes after we ordered so that was unfortunate. Food that we got was good though.

    This was our second visit to Sam and Luca and we really enjoyed our meal. The ambiance is very nice and the food is delicious. We love the bread (light and chewy) and also their caesar salad. My husband had the short rib with risotto and I had one of the nightly specials: butternut squash ravioli in a browned butter sauce. The noise level is not super quiet, but definitely low enough to have a conversation. Our server was very kind and attentive. We finished our meal with the salted caramel gelato.

Also tried the Meatballs, they did not disappoint. Will def be back for pasta next time. Highly recommend! Relaxing atmosphere with lovely decor. Do not pass them by!

    PROs—very good service, attentive and proactive, they took seriously that two in our party of 4 had dietary restrictions. Food was tasty and portions were about right. Not too noisy, inside temp was comfortable. CONs—nothing really important tho would like to see a few more light choices and sparkling wine other than prosecco on offer.
