Reviews
It was our first time here and we had a reservation for my girlfriend and I for our two year anniversary. The food was amazing and the service was great. They paid extra attention to the fact we were celebrating our anniversary and even brought us a Tiramasu for desert! Every person we interacted with was helpful and friendly and all played their own role in making our dining experience exceptional. Definitely will be adding this place to our list of spots to visit for special occasions! Thank you, Sam & Luca Italian Bistro.

I wish I could give this place 10 Stars. Everything about the dinner was fantastic from the service the attention to detail and the food. If you go here I highly recommend the short rib dish. My husband had the linguine and clams and said it was the absolute best he has ever had in his life. We've been trying to get in there for a while with our friends and tonight we went to celebrate our friend's birthday. They did not disappoint. We have found our regular haunt for our monthly dinner.

5 Gold Stars is not enough. This is our first visit here. Amazing service started as soon as we were in the door and was greeted by the manager. After finding out it was our first visit, he entertained us with the restaurant's history. Service was prompt from the beginning and continued all night. Our waitress Zoey had a bubbly personality that must be powered by a nuclear reactor! We took Zoey's recommendation on the Bruschetta special of the night and also added the Calamari appetizer. Both were amazing, however the Calamari was the most tender that I've ever had. Our main course was Lasagna and Lamb Chops. The Lasagna? AMAZING! So tender yet it held together. The manager explained it was his father's recipe after many times of tweaking it to make it perfect. As for the Lamb Chops, I normally add a lot of salt to my meals but this was perfect. The Asperagus was perfectly aldente! Deserts were equally amazing. Our service was not limited to Zoey. Any employee would stop at our table to pick up an empty plate or refill our water. This restaurant is a clear example of top down leadership. My wife and I used the word amazing many times; much more often than we normally use, lol.

I just moved to East Mesa and me and my honey are exploring new places I seen Sam and Lucas. Was very interested in going. I called and I asked the person who answered the phone, is it better to come in or make reservations he said make reservations I set it up . This where it gets so uncomfortable for me and my honey. I go in straight to the hostess and I was like my name is so and so I have reservations for me and my honey and she was like perfect . Then she said we are cleaning your table now and it will be ready in 3 mins. So me and my honey take a seat across the hostess desk . Then 2 older ladies come in and they have a look of disgust on their face they go to the hostess and say can we be seated the hostess points to a table at the back but the ladies refused it . The hostess had some nerve if they would have taken that table I would have said get a manager we had reservations and isn’t first come first serve? . We get seated our waitress was really nice , we gave her a good tip , there were some people in giving us looks. If you have something to say then say it and keep it moving. Don’t get mad when I clap back and make you look like a dumbo. The food was really good but I will be ordering in from now on I don’t like the fact people. We’re going to give our seats away .oh it did take them a minute to get the bread to our table . Again our waitress’s was really super sweet , nice friendly and told us about the specials they had. What the hostess did was extremely rude , unethical as well

Such a wonderful experience. We dined in for brunch today (Saturday). Our food was delicious and the service was superb. I ordered the avocado toast with a side of fruit and a cappuccino, and my husband had the special of steak and eggs. Our waitress Zoe was so sweet and attentive. We will definitely be returning for brunch and for dinner. Go try Sam and Luca! You won't be disappointed.

We were a party of four at our table, greeted and sat at our table very quickly. Our server came and offered recommendations of the house specials and got our drinks. Server brought out drinks and bread and butter, cold vs warmer for spreading on French bread. We all had the half salads. The Caesar Salad was the perfect size, lacking in taste and under dressed. Needs more of an anchovy taste very bland. Dinners came out and were excellent in size portion and beautiful presentation. There were two orders of lasagna and very good taste but luck warm, needed to be hotter to allow the cheeses to melt. The server came many times along with the owner. The restaurant looks to be on point., Good communication and with the staff. The restaurant is very inviting to come in for dinner. There is also outside seating great for long afternoons. Dinner is a little expensive but that is the sign of the times. They have Happy Hour and $2 dollars off glasses of wine from 4-6pm

I stopped impromptu just before dinner opening on a Friday to order Tiramisu to-go -life can be uncertain, eat dessert first! I was warmly greeted by Chef Patrick who graciously served me with a smile, going over and above to accommodate my request. When home, I enjoyed the best Tiramisu I've ever had. The craving for meatballs and marinara hit hard after enjoying that afternoon treat so a friend and I returned for a light dinner at the patio bar. Manager Josh shared a taste of newly crafted tangerine-cello and Taylor tending bar was fun and entertaining. The next day I deconstructed my left-over meatball and marinara adding sauteed garlic, mushrooms and spinach in olive oil and topped a toasted english muffin... DE-lish! I look forward to returning to try the Shrimp Risotto with an(other) Italian Mojito. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Sam & Luca!
