Will never go back. Do Not recommend. Took an hour to get our food and the place wasn’t even busy. Then when I finally got my food (waffle) .. tasted like chemicals and was soggy. Extremely disappointed all the way around.

You’ve read the reviews and it seems highly recommended, but you get there and standing outside you wonder, “What have I got myself into?”

Don’t worry, when you walk through the door, you think, “Oh, I get it now!” They have done a great job with a small space. It is obvious they are more concerned with quality than quantity. The tables are spaced well so you feel you have plenty of room.

The service was extremely professional and efficient.

We had ravioli, chicken marsala and iolio. The ravioli was al dente and did remind me of my great aunts. The marsala had great flavor. I would not order the iolio again, not much flavor and pasta cooked too much.

Those of you that know me, know I judge Italian places by their meatballs. I ordered one of theirs in marinara, both of which, I have to say, AMAZING.

I did overhear there was a new guy in the kitchen which is probably the difference between 4 and 5 stars.

The punk had pasta with butter, which she loved, but is was the bread she really enjoyed.

I would love to try this place again, they have all the right components to be 5 star great.

My boyfriend and I had an amazing experience here. The food took a little while but once it came out you can see why. It’s fresh and it tasted amazing! Our server Brian, was so sweet and really made it a nice experience for us. He even presented an option for the pasta that wasn’t on the menu. This restaurant is clean and I could see it being a great place for a first date. They also have a bar but I can’t speak to the quality of the drinks because we only ordered water. We will definitely be visiting here the next time we’re in Palm Springs.

We were in town because of a family member’s passing and found Sammy’s Place because it was close and had good reviews. It’s a small place and the appetizers were good; they even created a sweeter sangria for me when I asked. We waited quite a while for our food, perhaps because we were a table of nine. We were getting a little frustrated, but when the food arrived – we forgot all about our frustration. The food was excellent!! We had a favorite spot to get Italian in Cat City/Palm Springs, but now for sure it’s Sammy’s Place. The Chicken Carbonara was amazing, and everyone else loved their dishes as well. We’ll be back!!

Incredibly disappointed in our experience at Sammy’s. The reviews had us hopeful, but the entire experience fell short. We were welcomed with a pleasant waitress who welcomed us, informed us they have a full bar, wine, and drinks. Considering the menu had multiple mixed drink options but none of them being tequila, I asked her to ask the bar tender if he had any non-sweet mixed tequila drinks he could make. She came back saying no he doesn’t and continued to judgmentally tell me that most people don’t order tequila drinks with Italian. I wasn’t aware people ordered watermelon martinis with Italian either, which is a main drink on their menu, so it felt like a weird comment to make. We then ordered a bottle of red wine and the tester had sediment in it and was warm and awful, so we asked for a new bottle. As friendly as she was, I saw the encounter with the bartender and they both gave each other faces and he hesitantly (and seemingly annoyingly) gave her another bottle to serve us.
We got through a whole bottle of wine and a martini each before our food was served.
The angel hair noodles were disgustingly over cooked, the chicken was dry, the fettuccine noodles were undercooked, the sauces were all runny and wouldn’t stick to the noodles so it was like soup at the bottom of the dishes. We left more than half of each of our dishes there and left hungry.
It missed the mark by more than a mile for us. We will not be going back to even see if it was just a bad night.
Snarky staff that gave us courtesy smiles to our faces and dirty looks behind our backs and bad main dishes. I would give it a one star but the facility itself was very clean, the artichoke tapenade for the bread was good, the soup was good, and the drinks were good minus the one bad bottle of wine. The potential was there, but definitely fell short for our visit.

Terrible experience. Took 2 hours to get in and out for a party of 4. Had to ask for refills multiple times. Dirty dishes left on the table. Server had an attitude when we told her one plate was luke warm and another was downright cold. Truly a shame because the food had good flavor… Just wasn’t hot and the service was probably the worst I’ve had anywhere in 3+ years. Other tables were receiving meals before appetizers. Overheard a guest complain their pasta was cold as i was coming back from the bathroom. Too many other good Italian establishments to ever come back. If you’re going to charge an average of $30 a plate you should be doing much better.

This place has really dialed it in. In the beginning the portions we so big that when I got my food I almost lost my appetite because I knew it would not all be eaten. Last night I had house salad. Greens were fresh and the dressing! I wanted to lick the bowl. The marsala chicken was perfect. Nicely balanced flavors and fresh mushrooms. Just enough of mashed potatoes and a veggie saute that complemented the entire dish. Yum! Service was spot on. The entire restaurant was lively and everyone seemed to be having a great time. I recommend this place highly. Be sure you call in advance for reservations. It’s a smaller more intimate restaurant that is very popular in Cathedral City. Go say hi to Sammy and Chief Scott!! Tell them Dave sent ya! ENJOY!
