" Sam's is a hidden gem! I ordered the ravioli and was blown away by its freshness. The marinara sauce, however, could tone down its acidity. The service was decent, although we encountered a long wait for dessert. I'd recommend visiting during quieter days. " (*Curated Review*)

I celebrated my birthday dinner with a group of friends, and we savored every bite of the chicken piccata and eggplant parmesan. The staff was delightful, offering us suggestions that were spot on. The celebration was made even sweeter by their decadent desserts. " (*Curated Review*)

" The place was bustling, which we interpreted as a good sign. Our meals came out hot and fresh, and I really loved the shrimp scampi. The ambiance was pleasant, but we waited too long for drinks. Overall, I'd give it another shot! " (*Curated Review*)

" Not what I expected. The pasta was bland and uninspired, though the service was passing. It lacked the authenticity I was hoping for, so I will likely look elsewhere next time. " (*Curated Review*)
