    We just moved to AZ two years ago and S&L has become our favorite dining experience. The food is excellent with healthy serving sizes. The servers are all attentive and friendly. Prices are competitive with other 5 star dining. And the drink are perfect! Highly recommend visiting and giving it a try! You will not be disappointed! The Wills.

    Great place, close to everything. Great selection of favorites and a nice environment. My wife had the lasagna (she loved it) and I had the shrimp scampi. It was very tasty!

    We were celebrating a friends birthday and she had never been to Sam & Luca’s and she was extremely pleased with everything about the restaurant, especially the food, as were the other 5 people in our group.

    Sam and Lucas is a long time favorite spot when we are in the Mesa area. The menu has a good selection . We had calamari as the appetizer. The breading was light and it was served with hot sauce and marinara. A nice touch was the grilled lemon served on top of it.The entrees we tried were well prepared . I had the braised beef with risotto with pine nuts which was ample and delicious. The salmon dish served with asparagus was yummy. The eggplant parmigiana we like is the crispier patty version. Their rendition was smothered with sauce on top which made it less crispy. At another table the couple ordered the Monday night prime rib special which was a sizable thick slice of beef they shared. The cocktails looked great. I had the iced tea which was fresh. We skipped desserts but they looked appealing. The food is presented beautifully and everything is fresh. Our server was pleasant and attentive.I always look forward to having a meal there.

    First time back to Sam & Luca in a while and we absolutely loved it! Four of us ordered different dishes and each was fantastic. Great flavor and beautiful presentation at very reasonable prices. Our server, Zoe, was phenomenal. She knew the menu front to back. Best of all was her personality. So friendly and cheerful. She made the experience even more fun. We will definitely return!
