    Best tasting food made with quality ingredients. It really tasted like every dish was made with love. The servers, hosts, everyone we encountered was kind and friendly. Our server recommended the best dishes for us. This was our first time here and now our new favorite. It made me think of food you eat in Italy, so good, sometimes simple and everything is quality and made with pride you can taste.

    Our server Zoey was fabulous! She was so pleasant and on top of things. The calamari was the most tender we ever had. Everyone enjoyed their meals.

    Minimally impressed with this Italian restaurant although the food was good, the ambience, value, atomosphere and food portions not as I expected from a what I’ve heard by people raving about this Italian restaurant. I’ve been at far better Italian Restaurants than here. We won’t be back. Sorry.

    My wife and I are regulars, and we had my brother in town visiting, and decided to take him to S&L. The service was excellent, everyone was friendly and very accommodating, and we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The meal was superb. My brother and I grew up in an Italian household and know good Italian food when we eat it. Thank you, Sam and Luca, for our delicious meals, as we all had something different. Steve & Karen Mesa Az.
