Not the happiest with my meal I splurged on, $36 for short rib mushroom risotto, lots of meat! Not enough risotto AT ALL, and 3 whopping mushrooms. You gave me more calamari then you did the actual entree.

My husband and I dined here for the first time a few weeks ago and we really enjoyed ourselves. This is a family owned and operated establishment and the pride in ownership shows. The ambience was nice and the service was top notch! We arrived in time to take advantage of their happy hour and ordered a couple of cocktails and their cheese sticks (best cheese sticks we’ve ever had)! My husband ordered the lasagna and I ordered the special, which was short rib bolognese with pappardelle noodles. We both agreed that our dishes were delicious and I was pleasantly surprised in how meaty the bolognese was. I normally do not order dessert as I am too full by the end of the meal, but had to try one of grandma’s recipes cannoli, so I ordered one to go and it did not disappoint! Delicious!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Overall — A Must-Try Local Gem! Food: 5/5 – Amazing! Excellent collection of vegetarian options with great flavor and freshness. Service: 7/5 (Yes, that’s from my wife!) – Truly exceptional service. Atmosphere: 4/5 – A little busy, but that just shows how popular it is. We visited this family-owned local restaurant on Power Road on a Friday night. My wife initially wasn’t in the mood to go out, and we had planned for another place, but I convinced her to try Sam & Luca instead. She wasn’t too happy at first — until we arrived. The warm greeting at the door set the tone, but what really changed everything was Mr. Colin. His friendly personality, great sense of humor, and detailed explanation of the menu completely turned her mood around. He made us feel genuinely welcome and helped us choose the perfect dishes. The food was so good that, for once, we didn’t have any leftovers to take home — everything was wiped clean! This place is truly a hidden gem with incredible food, outstanding service, and a cozy local vibe. Please support this wonderful family-owned restaurant — they absolutely deserve it! P.S. We were so busy enjoying the food that we forgot to take pictures

This place was absolutely amazing. The food is spectacular and they have absolutely ruined mozzarella sticks from any other establishment. You can taste the freshness of the food. They are great with allergies and will check on anything to make sure you have the best options . Our waiter was Tanner and he was so nice and friendly. He made great suggestions and really added to a memorable dinning experience. I got ravioli with alfredo and my husband got the lasagna and it was very health portions. The lemon chiffon cake was the perfect dessert to round off our meal. The atmosphere was great with a cozy intimate feel.

EAT AT THIS PLACE!!! Absolutely one of the best authentic Italian spots in AZ! The food truly was amazing. The staff was even better. They listened, acted, and truly put the patron first. You never see this sort of service anywhere. They worked as a team and it showed. Price was affordable and the dessert was amazing also. Get the salted caramel gelato, you’ll be happy you did!
