we had my daughters formal sweet 16 party yesterday and everything turned out beautifully, beautiful ball room, staff and food was amazing thank you!

The banquet room, along with wait staff were superb! I gave 2 stars due to the food. Side salads were absolutely disgusting! ( Lettuce brown with a slimy texture.) The chicken was moist, yet extremely bland. Pasta noodles were cooked to perfection, but the sauce tasted like tomato paste without a lick of seasoning! Furthermore, the meatballs were delicious!!!!! I hope this was just an off day in the kitchen.

We booked a room for a wedding reception. We ordered food and beer. Prices were a bit high. Salad was not good. The food was good. We ordered a cake with writing on it but never got to see it. They brought out cake on plates. Then we had an “error” on the bill. Forgot to add the tax. So they added the tax but also pushed the gratuity up as well. I would have thought that if they made a mistake that I should pay for the taxes only and not add 20% for gratuity as well. i would suggest there are better places to have a gathering than here!

Excellent food and service!

Always good service. I've never had a bad meal here. They have a March special of corned beef pizza that's pretty amazing (pictured).

I hosted my son’s baptism here and we loved it. Gino made sure everything I wanted was available to me and was helpful throughout the whole process. Pizza, pasta, salad was a hit everybody was going up for seconds! Everything was right out the kitchen and served hot. Bartender was always on top of everything and made sure our guest had a drink at all times. Staff was attentive and made sure to check with me throughout the night if everything was running smoothly. Thanks to Sam’s Restaurant , Gino and staff for making this night memorable for my son and our family. Would definitely recommend having a small or big event here!

I hosted a soccer team after party here. Service was great . Food arrived on time . Very accommodating.Pizza was really good. Loved the Italian salad. We Also reordered a few things and it all came out in a timely manner. .would recommend having event here.

We had a great dinner with our family here. Our server was excellent and the food was delicious. I had some of the best fettuccine Alfredo I have had in years. The serving size was enough for at least two meals, if not more. My husband enjoyed his "Rockford" style meat lovers pizza, which he longs for living here in Milwaukee. It was a terrific evening.

I have Loved Sam's since I was a kid and it's not often the case when you can say decades later that a place is still as good as when you were a kid. Sam's definitely is. The pizza is still my favorite. I love the atmosphere and the service is excellent. I have lived in Las Vegas for 37 years and I have tried different pizza and Italian restaurants there over the years and nothing compares to Sam's. It's refreshing to go to a place and actually leave after having a great meal or ordering take out and having a glass of wine while you wait and feeling like the owners really care about the customers. Everything seems so impersonal anymore but not at Sam's. I can't rate it high enough. The food is top notch. The service is amazing and the owners are super friendly. Gino, you guys are doing a great job. Thanks for the great experience.

We had such an amazing time celebrating Christmas with our youth group. ? The food was amazing and so was the service. Thank you so much for providing a beautiful venue for us to pour into our local youth. They all had a memorable time.
