The Caesar salad left me quite disappointed lacking really any flavor except for the croutons which were great! The pizza was the real reason I preordered and I was not disappointed! I ordered the sausage ricotta and wow so yummy as always. I ate it for lunch and dinner!!! The tiramisu was more of a deconstructed one but the flavor was so light and fresh I loved it!! I love this place and always so excited to try new things on the menu when I get a chance!

Luckily this place never disappoints and I got my fix. I ordered the pasta with cilantro lime sauce and chicken and it rocked. Loved the flavors.

The menu was large, with tons of classic Italian options. Pastas, entrees, seafood - the classics. I tried the Chicken Parm sandwich. It's small! Requested peppers on top and they were barely cooked. I tried others dishes amongst our party and everything was just okay IMO. Limited drink menu and no draft beers available either. It's not a large space, yet the service was very slow. We had to flag our server multiple times. Additionally, the kitchen took a very long time. Maybe it was just an off night, but a lot of waiting. I really enjoyed the ambiance inside. A very homey feel to the whole place. Reminded me of restaurants growing up. I would give it another shot and try other dishes off the menu. But overall, didn't meet my expectations.

Simple Bad-da Bad-da Boom done! Simple try it. Parking 5/5 Arrived a few minutes before our 6pm reservation and our hostess found and confirmed our Yelp reservations. She brought us to our table. Ambiance 5/5 Thats correct not atmosphere here it's 100% ambiance. Subdued lighting, table candlelight's, Service 10/5 Alyssa was our server tonight. Very friendly and welcoming. She had in depth knowledge the menu, specials, wines and pairings, and Sprites. She timed our courses perfectly which allowed us to enjoy starters, Salado which is a detail lost on many Resturant's today. The kitchen was magnifico tonight. Thank-you guys! Alyssa was all that and more, this is what table service should be like. Great job we will be asking for you again. Food 10/5 We ordered the zucchini which were served in a nice and little crisp batter. They were great. We ordered a salad which was large enough for sharing. The dressing was the perfect paring for all the wonderful ingredients. Entrees included an order of Egg plant parmigiana over pasta. Portions are generous. My entree was tonight's special, prime rib ragu also a generous portion. The prime rib was nicely incorporated in their linguine style pasta and with other fresh vegetables in a hearty an slightly sweet sauce like my own. This was a perfect recommendation by Alyssa thank- you I'd order this again. Desert was a large serving of crème brûlée. The topping was perfectly toasted giving it its crispy texture and smoky notes. Looking for an Italian date night or cozy chill and classy place to finish your day on a good note, Sam & Luca's Italian Bistro won't disappoint. Servizio come dovrebbe essere, cibo fantastico in un'atmosfera che si stabilizza. Magnifico! Eat well my friends-SYOY!

We absolutely love their bread, salad, and pasta dishes. My mom's favorite is the chicken piccata, and I really appreciate that they let you customize your meal by choosing different pasta options. The zucchini spirals are a great lighter option, but you can never go wrong with a classic fettuccine. My brother's fiancée had the eggplant parmesan and said it was the best she's ever had! I personally enjoyed a delicious chicken artichoke dish. We also make it a tradition to order their chocolate cake for holiday's it's that good!

They also have an amazing lunch menu available every day until 4PM with most entrees costing only $11.50! My favorite part is the unlimited antipasto salad and ciabatta bread that comes with your meal. I love dipping the bread in olive oil and Italian seasoning. Yumm! I always skip the pepperoncini peppers and get extra salami and cheese. I've tried their chicken Parmesan, spaghetti in meat sauce, chicken cutlet piccata with fettuccine alfredo and lasagna. I wasn't wowed by any of the entrees and the marinara sauce is a bit too sweet for my liking. The unlimited salad and bread is always the highlight of my meal and a treat especially as I don't eat bread at home. For $11.50, it's an excellent value. All the staff members are also incredibly nice and accommodating. It's easy to see why this restaurant is so popular and always busy.

With such delicious food and wonderfully friendly owner, I was surprised more people weren't beating down the doors to eat at this restaurant! But it does have a dated "old school steakhouse" vibe inside, which isn't exactly the ambiance preferred by our younger generations. We thought it was great, though. Give Il Vinaio a chance!
