    We love Sam and Luca! The food is always so delicious and authentic. The service is always friendly and efficient. Cute atmosphere too. I do wish they’d update the side room to look like the rest of the restaurant. It needs some amore. Other than that…. Cozi delicioso. We will definitely be back again and again.

    It was out 62nd Anniversary and it was a perfect restaurant to celebrate at. The service was friendly and efficient. The food was excellent, just like the food we grew up with on Long Island. The dessert was to die for! We will definitely return.

    We’re always checking out reviews to find our next dinner spot, and even though this restaurant is a bit of a drive from Gilbert, we don’t mind going the distance for great food. And it did not disappoint—everything about our experience was fantastic. The food was incredibly fresh (Samiti especially loved it), and the service was outstanding. The owner’s son was also incredibly pleasant and welcoming. All of that combined makes it well worth the trip, and we’ll definitely be coming back to explore more of the menu.
