“This deli is fabulous! We have had five different kinds of sandwiches from their menu, and they are spectacular! The pastrami on rye is to die for. I believe that is called the Manhattan. All of the Italian themed sandwiches are spectacular. Once we ordered the eggplant Parmesan special, which was a hot meal. It was enough for three meals! they do a terrific job and are such pleasant people. I would like to see them stay in business. If the weather is warm, they provide outdoor seating. They have recently added some breakfast items and are open from 7 AM to 3 PM.“

“Enjoyed a dinner out a week or so ago - having never been to Sammy's and hearing mixed reviews. We started with the fried calamari and it was excellent! Very crisp, including fried hot peppers mixed in and marinara dipping sauce and a terrific creamy concoction that were both very good. I had ordered the meatballs but they did not come and belief there was a misunderstanding as the service was excellent and the meatballs were not on my bill at the end.My Truffle Risotto was prepared beautifully with three juicy jumbo scallops half-submerged in the risotto - cooked perfectly. There were four shrimp, I think, and they seemed to be the 21-25 count size, also dunked in the risotto. These were not bad but were definitely overcooked. While I enjoyed my meal, I would not reorder it as the risotto was just too rich for my tastes but others might disagree. My wife enjoyed her grilled salmon and veggies very much and my son enjoyed is NY Strip which was cooked as ordered. He can be picky about his steaks and often when we order medium rare it is very rare but this was cooked perfectly.A nice touch, which seems to be disappearing from restaurants, was the salad that came with the entree. Mind you, this was a very small salad but it was just right and not expected. All in, including one drink and a couple of coffees at the end - the bill was about $120 - which we felt was very reasonable as compared with other area restaurants for similar orders. Again, the service was terrific from start to finish. We will definitely return.“

“This place is overall FABULOUS. I decided to grab a bite on a recent Thursday night around 7 pm bc I had read all the wonderful reviews. When I walked into the ristorante, there was a bevy of ppl throughout the establishment which was very encouraging. I asked the hostess if I could grab a seat at the bar & she quickly ushered me over. The bartender came over within a few mins & handed me a menu, poured me a glass of water & inquired about a drink order. I settled on a nice CA cab sauv which he poured immediately. The wine was delicious. It was Jam Cellars which I am not familiar with. I inquired with the bartender about items that people consistently love. He told me everything was great but the pizzas were fabulous. I ordered the Arugula & Proscuitto pizza. I was tempted to order an appetizer but I had a feeling the pizza would be plenty. As I was studying the decor is definitely modern with fantastic design & lighting. It used to be a casual soup, salad & sandwich place prior to this (a bit like Panera). It was busy & the dining room was bustling with staff & diners happily chatting away & enjoying their drinks & meals. Overall fabulous vibe & atmosphere. The music was low to medium & the conversation was the same. (I did not find it loud at all. It was a normal background noise). About 12-15 mins later, the pizza arrived hot from the oven. The presentation was fantastic. The fresh baby arugula was wilted over the hot cheese & the prosciutto was then layered on top of that & they used a really lovely flaked Parmesan over all of it. The dough WAS DIVINE. Freshly made, slightly airy with a slightly dense chew. I put a little cracked black pepper on top & YUM! DELISH!“

“Fiore pizza! Gets a recommendation from my humble taste buds without a question. The boys & I ordered a few pizzas for the big game Sunday and let me tell ya. sausage pizza, big crumbles of spicy Italian ween, ooowee gooey mozzarella cheese, and a well flavored red sauce felt like an appetizer. A chicken pesto pie(last times MP) with fresh red tomato slices, chicken, and a tart green pesto cream to complete the Christmas colorway. A pie so nice we had to order twice! And last, but by all means, not least. A mystery pie, to be unboxed with watering mouths and great excitement. The steaming pie was drizzled all over with tangy orange, sweet bbq brown, and a creamy white sauce. Freckled with diced bits of breaded chicken, this pizza was something to write home about! We HAD to call back and figure out what the delicacy contained. Described as a "special sauce" created by the chef, the crazy chicken chicken cwazy pizza was a top prospect of all the za I've had in my day. A return visit ABSOLUTELY! was my only thought when my full belly and I watched taylor swift and the chiefs take a win next to my rapidly rising rocket. Overal great experience and recommend to anyone in the area!“

“I LOVE Da Vincis! I work in town & was struggling to find a place that I liked for lunch. I eat a predominantly plant based diet & love my salads. I don’t like to get take out often, I tried a salad from the pizza place across the street from them once and was quickly disappointed. My coworker then suggested that I look at Da Vincis menu & the Leonardo Salad quickly caught my eye and has since stole my heart. I was a server for many years and I always get nervous asking for substitutions. The staff was so accommodating even though I’m a pain and ask for no cheese on my salad and the addition of a bunch of veggies! From what I hear from my coworkers the rest of their menu is just as delicious including the Mac & Cheese Bites, Baked Chicken Bites, Fried Pickles and Calzones to name a few. From the staff to the food everything is AMAZING! Every Friday I look forward to getting my salad from here“

“Was in the area, and I'm kinda hard-wired to stop in at almost any Italian deli. So I stopped. And I ordered. Sausage and pepper sub w provy (amazing how we called them "wedges" where I grew up, "heroes" in the Bronx, and "grinders" where I currently live in northern CT).The sausage and peppers were very good, the bread not so much. Maybe it was the tomatoey/olive oil base, but the sub almost fell apart while I was eating it. Am used to the more substantial italian bread that really great Italian delis feature. Maybe a cold sub would've held up better. There is a wide assortment of hot foods (meatballs, chicken cutlets, eggplant, etc), and cold cuts. Prices reasonable. Bonus for featuring Foxon sodas.3.5 stars“

We ordered a pizza half cheese and half pepperoni. This was another win in my book very thin crust but cooked correctly with a crispy edge on the pepperoni, one of my favorites. As for the desert, oh boy, the Nutella pie is now on my must have list for all my visits to the twisted goat.“
