   4 stars but it could be a 5 any other night. Service is awesome when you get it. So to be clear, on this Saturday night the waiters were in the weeds and none more than ours. The host is top notch but our waitress was running so crazy that we had to grab her for drinks 3x along with our check and take home boxes. Dinner was great, appetizer meat balls and Sally Salad were amazing. Dinner of veal Marsala and Seafood FraDiablo were delish but the chef forgot the crab. That stunted dinner progression. Desert was a Tiramisu Old Fashioned that was powerful. I'd be remised if I didn't mention the bread and dipping sauce which is what I will miss the most. No joke that garlic, pesto, Parmesan pepper crack sauce was freaking the best I've ever had! Those meatballs tho!! Great dinner but we will chalk the weeds up to just being a few hands on this night. #meatballapp

   Our service was extremely spotty. We had a party of eight and three of us ordered veal dishes, but instead got chicken substitute without warning. Two of our meals did not come out for 20 minutes after our other guests were served. Our waiter was very pleasant however it seemed like he was stretched.

   Nice place but very loud and difficult to converse at your own table.

   Absolutely delicious food! Large portions, service is magnificent and prices are reasonable. My only comment is it’s a little noisy.

   The food wasn’t as good this time. This was the first time after over a year that we went back to Sammy’s and I was looking forward to ordering my favorite food, Toni & Tina’s chicken. They used to cover the top with crab meat. This time, they used very few pieces of crab. I guess this is what they mean by Shrinkflation. I would prefer to pay a few dollars more for quality. Still a nice restaurant but I was kind of disappointed ☹️

   I made a reservation for a Saturday at 6:00 p.m. at the Hunt Valley location. I asked for a regular table and indicated the occasion was for a birthday. As soon as we walked in the door, it was clear they were overloaded and understaffed. We were led to a high top in the bar. I asked that this be changed to what I asked for and they complied. The dining room is small, loud and crowded, and was waayyyy too busy with only about 4 people waiting all of the tables. There was a huge group of about 30 people dining in the same room along with other groups. The waitress we had was very good with a cheery attitude. She was obviously the only one in the dining room who knew what she was doing since we noticed that she was being pulled in several different directions the whole time we were there. The food was so-so. The alfredo dish I ordered was bland. The noodles tasted like the boxed kind with four fleshy shrimp and the sauce was watery thin and tasteless. I was disappointed when I saw the table behind us get a slice of cake with a candle on it. Our occasion was unacknowledged (yes, we could've asked for it but like I said, our waitress was way too busy taking care of everyone else and note that we had at least 3 waiters... the original girl. someone to take our dessert order, and another to bring our check). I was pretty disappointed in the overall experience and don't plan to return for dinner any time soon. I will admit that the bread dipping sauce and the salad dressing are to die for. I will try it again for lunch and hope it won't be as bad crowd-wise.

   Superb experience - the food was authentic, delicious Italian. The sauces were perfect. Our waiter, Andrew, was the most conscientious, friendly, and knowledgeable young man. He made suggestions when asked and kept an eye on us without being intrusive. It is a very popular restaurant, so please expect it to be a bit loud.

    This is a neighborhood gem! Ample portions so much as you will have to take some home. The pasta dishes & the appetizers are very filling
