Sam's Restaurant

The milanese was really really good and everyone at my party enjoyed what they ordered. Would highly recommend to stop by if you are in East Hampton.

Best little Italian Restaurant in the Hamptons! Every summer for over 20 years we look forward to eating at Sam's. This July was no different. Though we were only out East for a week my husband and I dined there twice. The service is perfect, and the food is delicious! The Rigatoni Vodka is the best I've ever had. I don't know how they make it so rich but my whole family loves it. The Chicken Milanese is also a treat. Same for Baked Ziti Bolognese. It's a nice bit of normality in a sea of extremely over priced eateries and the food is actually better than some of the pricier places you could eat.

Ordered to go and it was ready when they said it would be! Staff was super nice and helpful. The dine in area was full with people waiting to be seated. We got pizza, garlic bread and mussels. The pizza is delicious, garlic bread perfect and a large amount of mussels for an appetizer! The mussels were delicious. All of this for around $44 with tons of leftovers. Will definitely be back!

Always very, very pleased with the food and the waitresses are lovely. Only four stars however because I was extremely disappointed by the hostess (specifically last night 06/05). I put my name in for two and was told about thirty minutes. It was super busy as usual, so I said we’d be waiting outside. We waited the time, sitting in chairs right out front of the restaurant and when the hostess popped her head out to call my name I whirled around and called out “oh, right here!” quite loudly. She didn’t wait or register what I said, but I was at the door and holding it open in seconds. I held the door for two people exiting with pizzas and stepped in less than a minute later from the initial name call to see two other people who arrived after us being seated at what was supposed to be our table. The hostess eventually came back over and while looking at me questioningly I said “you just called my name.” She barely apologized — and I do mean barely — with a toss of “oh sorry, another table should open up soon.” The look on her face very clearly expressed that she knew she should have given us a chance to walk in the door. Another 15 minutes went by before we sat, making for 45 minutes for a table for two because the hostess could not actually look around and/or wait a full minute for the waiting party. It left a very sour taste that was only salvaged by our absolutely delightful waitress (I wish I knew her name as we’ve gotten her every time and she’s always quick and attentive and sweet. She served us at the table just before the other dining room with the favorite seats plaque).

We pre-ordered the TNT pizza to go very good for a deep dish pizza. Ingredients in very fresh. Be sure to call in advance for a reservation or 45 minutes in advance for takeout during the season.
