Ordered spaghetti with Garlic and Oil. But instead...just got garlic and oil.
Christian G.

Staying at the JW Marriot and wanted some pizza. This restaurant had high reviews on Yelp. First, the pizza was delicious! Wish we ordered another one as it wasn't enough for us (4 people). As this was a take out order, there was a big issue. The app gave options to add for an order. I ordered a spaghetti marina and thought I "added" garlic and oil. But when we received the order, it was just pasta, garlic and oil. Wtf?! Why the heck would anyone order a spaghetti and only want garlic and oil? The option was NOT clear. I thought it was in ADDITION to. So for $20 I got pasta and garlic and oil. No marinara. It's NOT spaghetti! This was a take out order so the experience might not be the same if you eat at the restaurant. UPDATE: The owner, Sami, called me the next day to apologize for the mixup and offered to replacement. Within 30 min I received a still hot spaghetti the way it's supposed to be. Not only that, he added some dessert. As a business person myself, I understand mistakes happen. But when the issue is rectified, it's a testament to the values of the restaurant. The spaghetti was delicious! Not only the food is delicious, but awesome customer service. I can imagine how good the service would be if we ate at the restaurant. Highly recommend. (Went from 1-star to 5-star - the owner never asked me to change my rating)

Mouth watering flavorful lamb chops.

What a gem! Delicious lamb chops! We had mostly appetizers the first day then lamb chops the second day. Service was excellent. Great value! Didn't get a chance to try the pizza.

The best tiramisu- home made at Sami's

A hidden jewel on Marco Island that you can't miss. Nothing fancy, but great food good prices, but more importantly great people. We found Sami's last year on a trip to Marco Island after the exhausting drive from our home in Naples, Florida:-). We sat at the bar and had a glass of wine and pizza, which is a great pizza with fabulous sauce and toppings. The atmosphere was so pleasant. We went back again last night and were lucky enough to be served by joy and we met John the manager. He's truly a hands-on manager, and it is evident by the kind people that work there and the comfortable environment. If you haven't tried this restaurant you need to do so. There's something for everyone with one of the most expansive menus I've ever seen. They also make their own homemade tiramisu, which is a must try.

We visited during a holiday weekend and the service at Sami's was incredible. You'd think that service would be slow, but that was not the case. Our large party was very happy. The food was delicious and the portions were generous. The live music was great, we even had a Sweet Caroline sing-a-long. Looking forward to dining at Sami's when we visit Marco Island next time.

They allow pizza mixing.  A great solution when the family all wants different types!  We order a large pizza and apps.  Everyone was happy!

Great service. Awesome family spot. Reasonably priced. Order a large mix pizza and apps for a budget pleasing, family friendly meal

Best pizza I've had in a while!! We ordered Sami's Pizza with choice of toppings (basil, garlic, extra cheese, olives). It looked like a cartoon pizza the way the cheese stretched out. Their service was also immaculate. Someone greets every guest as they open the door for you. The lights are dimmed, and they're quick with getting the food out and ready. I would totally recommend this restaurant. The only thing that might be presumed as negative is the pricing. Some of the menu items are higher in price than most other pizzerias I've been to. Otherwise excellent!

OUTSTANDING quality food and EXCEPTIONAL service that should serve as an exemplary standard for the restaurant industry. We were blown away after eating multiple meals here because everything tasted perfect and we could not come up with a single sentence how or where they could further improve themselves. Pizza was as good as a pie made in Howard Beach NY or at a Lower Manhattan pizzeria that's been in business for over 50 years. Wings were done just right , crunchy on the outside , soft and juicy inside , steak fries were amazing, calamari was probably the best I ever had. That marinara sauce was perfection. Lamb chops were seasoned just right and cooked to perfection. Even the balsamic vinegar on the salad was super premium quality. I can tell the owner takes pride in what he serves and it's reflected in literally every item on the menu. If you're reading this review, stop reading and go over to Sami's for the best food on Marco Island.

But it's out of place when being beachfront - you would expect people coming in high end gowns, not beach dresses. However, the gorgeous sunsets you can get here make up for everything you might find odd in the decorations. The menu is not extensive, but does give options. We had the Caesar Salad (which was the highlight of the meal), the Branzino (which was fresh, but not very tasty), the ricotta ravioli and the tiramisu (which was wonderful). I am a bread fan and their breads accompanying the meal were also great. Finally, the service was great. Very attentive and accommodating staff which certainly made it for a nice experience.

Next, we ordered the burrata and butternut squash. TRULY THE BEST burrata dish I have ever eaten! I could have ordered this again as my main entree. We tried the bolognese and the cacio e pepe, both were phenomenal. It's always such a pleasure to come here on our vacation date night!

Anyone who has tried to seat a party of 45 anywhere knows what a miracle that is. The hospitality here is the real deal. This is a true mom-and-pop family-owned Italian restaurant, and they treated all 45 of us like we were their own relatives. Warm, attentive, genuinely happy to have us -- never rushed, never overwhelmed, always checking in. And the food. Out of this world. Every single plate that came out was fresh, generous, and made with obvious love. Homemade Italian cooking the way it's supposed to taste. Our whole table went quiet, which with our family never happens. If you're visiting Marco Island and want authentic Italian food, incredible service, and a place that can actually handle a large group, big family dinner, or special occasion -- go to The Boulevard.

The seafood selection on the menu felt limited. I expected more variety for a coastal restaurant. Appetizers were decent but did not stand out. The salmon carpaccio looked nice and tasted as expected, but the flavor was fairly simple. The frutti de mar had good flavor and the seafood was cooked properly. The sauce worked well and did not overpower the dish. The portion was disappointing for the price. The dish cost $52 dollars and only included three scallops and three shrimp. The rest of the seafood was mostly clams and mussels. I substituted angel hair instead of linguine which helped keep the dish lighter. The chicken Madeira looked great but the flavor was mild. With a stronger sauce or seasoning it could easily be an excellent dish. The kids meals were a win. The chicken tenders and pasta kept them happy and the portions were solid. Overall experience was good mainly because of the service and presentation. Some dishes need stronger flavor and the seafood portions could match the price better. Still a pleasant dinner spot on Marco Island.

Kinda like a Classic Chicago Steakhouse and your favorite Seafood Shack met during shore leave and had a love baby. The staff were as crisp and classy as my Martini inspired Tommy Bahama shirt (medium starch). Hands down the freshest oysters we've had since moving to FL. The selection was huge including both East and West Coast oysters with an amazing selection of local oysters. We fell head over heels for the Sharkbite oysters which are farmed right in New Smyrna Beach, Florida. As a rule; when we find a good oyster place we go overboard! In addition to the Sharkbites, we had West Coast: Royal Miyagi Kumamoto Kusshi East Coast: Pink Moon Malpeque Raspberry Point Wellfleet Duxubury Soleil Local: Sharkbite Baby Sharks Rattlesnake Cove We stuck to appetizers as our oyster adventure was our main focus. She Crab soup and Spanish Octopus were perfect. The Foie Gras had us doing the happy shimmy in our seats! Executive Dessert Chef, oh yeah I said it, pay that person what ever they ask for! Key Lime pie was to die for! Highly recommended! Cheers!

We came for dinner and left wondering why The Oyster Society wasn't our first stop!…read more Our original plan was Deck 560 at the Hilton across the street, but the menu didn't really excite us and the atmosphere felt a little sterile for our taste. We had a cocktail, crossed the street, and that's when the night got GOOD! The vibes were fantastic, the weather was beautiful for sitting outside, and the service was great. The cocktails? They definitely understood the assignment. Strong, just how I like them! Bonus points for fresh blue cheese stuffed olives instead of jarred ones. My only little critique was that the olive juice tasted very bitter to me. Now, let's talk FOOD because we were very happy people at this table! The octopus appetizer was to die for. They prepare it sous vide, and it was incredibly tender. This is the kind of dish you're still thinking about the next day. The Ceviche Yatai was almost too pretty to eat. Almost. Fresh kampachi presented more like sashimi, smoked aji amarillo leche de tigre, crispy calamari, crunchy corn, and sweet potato. Beautiful presentation and absolutely delicious! The miso Chilean sea bass was tender and delicious, and the firecracker sushi was another hit. Then there was the lobster and crab encrusted tripletail with Boursin mashed potatoes, broccolini, and lobster guajillo butter. Yes, it was every bit as good as it sounds! Great food, strong drinks, wonderful service, and a fun atmosphere. Crossing the street turned out to be our best decision of the night. We'll absolutely be back!
