What User likes about Sammy's Authentic Italian:
Super cozy, romantic atmosphere. The staff was phenomenally real. Love it's BYOB. Remember when we ate in Italy. The specials were amazing; Kalb's shrimp pasta then a pesto/scallop/shrimp pasta. For Dessert we had a flan type Custard it was so delicious that we ordered almost a 2nd. View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Sammy's Authentic Italian:
The food was quite good. However, they only had ONE waiter working there. They really need to hire additional help because it was not very crowded but service was still slow. Worst of all, though, I had about a quarter of my salmon left and I had to use the bathroom. I covered my plate to keep the food warm, and by the time I came back it was gone. The waiter had simply assumed that I was done when I actually wasn't.... View all feedback.

Great restaurant but not if you are Celiac like me. If just gluten sensitive you will probably be OK and with no dietary issues: great!

Cool urban trattoria. feel like in talian restaurant where micheal corleome made the cop. Eating is classic red table cloth Italian made perfect.

Sammy is always a hit. from the picturesque location directly opposite the capital to the rotating list of seasonal specials makes sammys dinge.

That is one of my favorite Italian restaurants. in any case my favorites in harrisburg. sammys’s has been serving Italian food for several decades.
