Sammio's Italian Restaurant

Let me preface this review but warning you that they do have a 3.5% "restaurant fee" for paying with a card. I get it in this plastic world, it helps restaurants recover from the high costs of processing payments. 3.5% is a bit higher than I've typically experienced though. It would've been decent of them to disclose this at the door or made it visibly apparent on the menu. Considering the quality of their food and $3.25 for unsweetened tea, I would think that cost has been recovered a few times over. Carrying on... The restaurant ambiance gave me high hopes for a quality Italian meal and our server was wonderful. Thats where it ends. We started with the calamari. Your basic frozen calamari. Meh, but that's not why I came to talk about. Its the "calzone" as they call it. A calzone it was

Great atmosphere this is our first time and then you think the place I serve it was very nice her name is Zoe and I haven't tried the food here yet but it smells delicious in here so I'm sure we're going to love it

Can’t make an old fashioned, the eggplant parm was not the greatest. Owned by Greeks (not a bad thing) but if you open an Italian restaurant, you should probably hire someone that can cook Italian food. All of the entrees looked terrible.

Excellent wine. We did order dessert to share. Strawberry shortcake which we chose to take home since it was also frozen. Such a disappointing experience. Family Italian food shouldn't be frozen or cold. No apologies or discount offered by management. Only one who cared was the poor 18 year old waitress who was am

My first time coming here was on 02/28/23 with my daughter's JV and varsity team. We arrived and were greeted by the young lady at the desk and we were directed to the room for our group. We took our seats and they took our drink order and dinner orders. They did have a set menu for the group and we were only able to order those items. If, we wanted something else, we would have to place a to go order. They had my favorite on the set menu so, it was fine. We ordered the Sweet tea, a garden salad with red french dressing, Chicken Alfredo with penne pasta with garlic bread. The salad was fresh and vegetables were crisp and crunchy. The pasta was a good size portion and sauce was very creamy and good. I didn't get to truly see the decorations inside until after, dinner was over. It's extrem
