Family went to try it out. The food was delicious! We sampled each other’s and hard to pick a favorite. Our server was pleasant and efficient. We enjoyed our meals. The house salad was fantastic!

I think I’m being a little generous, giving this restaurant 4 stars, but 3 seems more harsh. First problem, if you’re gonna take someone’s order and not right it down, you better have a great memory. Our waiter did not have a good memory. That appetizer I ordered never showed. He really did not remember because it wasn’t on the bill either. My request for no olives also fell on deaf ears. My salad and dinner were loaded with them and had to be re made. My chicken dish was a little bland, but the wife’s shrimp was outstanding. The house dressing was one of the best I have had in a long time. Prices seemed fair. Portions were good.

Date night gem. We had an amazing date night at Sam’s, but don’t get me wrong this restaurant is easily family friendly or large event. High Chairs, booster seats, booths were seen (if you know you know) let’s start off, the garlic bread was brought to the table (included) it was hot and thick sliced. Next salads were crisp cold lettuce (iceburg) with cheese and a light delightful Italian dressing (also included), this salad was perfect- not too heavy, cold and refreshing. We indulged in the $6 a glass wine specials cupcake moscato and Cabernet, we asked what was fresh bottles and the server was happy to check and open fresh. We got the fried mushrooms and they were a delight, crunchy well seasoned breading and served on a harty marinara which worked great for the garlic bread ($10). Our main dishes we each shared, chicken carbonara and chicken Marsala. The carbonara sauce was spot on with bacon and peas and a rich golden color from the egg, I was pleased. Portion sizes were perfect. Chicken in both dishes were tender and cooked well. I tasted a breading of sorts on the chicken Marsala chicken but this seemed soggy from the sauce and perhaps needed more, but the sauce and mushrooms were beefy and smooth on perfectly cooked linguine. ($20-25 per entre) after another round of wine we finished with desert limoncello cake and tiramisu ($8 each) both were a perfect finish, light and moist, not overly sweet in any way, paired well with our wine selections. This was our first visit and will not be our last. Staff was amazing, the chef even came out to say hello. I was thrilled to see Sunday dinner hours offered. There was a wonderful kids menu awaiting any family. Quality, humility, cozy, excellent service.

The garlic bread and pizza were amazing. It’s nice having a local place for pizza back in Defiance. 100% recommend, plenty of seating inside even if it looks busy outside. Meat Lovers and Hawaiian pizza 100% recommend.
Update: second time back, definitely sticking with the pizza. Pasta is good, but that pizza hits different. Our waitress is awesome, stacked with the best garlic bread in a 30 mile radius.

From the moment we walked in we knew we made the right decision for dinner tonight. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and were seated in no time. The hostess as well as our server gave us recommendations and boy were those recommendations spot on! The food was delicious and the portions are more than generous. Great service, and fantastic food. We will absolutely be back. 10/10

Delicious food, amazing hummus!
A bit pricey though, but a meal came with a salad.
Nice selection of food options.
But the decor is lacking, atmosphere feels stale.
Wait staff initially not attentive (could be someone new as a waiter learning the trade) yet very friendly.

The very best Italian that I can remember having in so long and quite a gem to find in Defiance. Ordered the “Chicken Picata” (added Capers).
Every bite was heaven and delight to have.
My mom ordered “Chicken Primavera” with marinara sauce. Taste was smooth, fresh, pleasing and flavors blended epically!
Your palette will love you and your tummy will be comfy!!
