   Have been before and was better. This was Mother’s Day and took my 87 year old mom and family. 6 total for dinner. They were out of some of the good specials and calamari. There was some little 2 year old screaming and crawling all over the table next to where they were sitting at. If you were a manager of a restaurant especially on a holiday you would have told them to control there kid especially when paying 300 for dinner. The lasagna tasted like propane like they melted the cheese with a torch. I had chicken parm which was great no complaints and their homemade bread was fantastic. My mom had the shrimp scampi and just thought it was ok. Anyway for Mother’s Day could have been a better experience for the cost. Will give them another try but will be a while. The bartender and staff were good.

   I have been to Sam and Luca many times and have enjoyed every visit and even told many friends about it. This visit was so sub par and not worth the $85! The martinis tasted as if old and cheap ingredients were used and they weren’t even very cold. The salads were made with old lettuce and not good. It’s unfortunate but it will be a long time before we return.

   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.
