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

    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.

    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.

    Best Italian I have found since moving to South Naples - everything is consistently delicious, service wasn't the best when my family and I dined here but they were quite busy as well. Outdoor seating as well, I'll definitely be back soon, 10/10 Italian!

After my experience on Thursday, February 12th, that's over. At 6:05 PM, I placed a small online order (mozzarella sticks, a calzone, and a sandwich) through their website, as I always do. Estimated pickup: 29 to 34 minutes. I arrived at 6:41 with my wife and kids in the car. Food wasn't ready, but "five more minutes." Fine. Five turned into twenty. Twenty turned into forty. During that time, I watched the staff take phone orders and quote every customer "20 to 25 minutes," no matter the order size. When I asked what the holdup was, the staff, who were genuinely doing their best, explained that new kitchen staff were struggling. My son was starving, so I left to grab him food elsewhere and came back about 30 minutes later, confident my order would be waiting. It wasn't. At 7:35 PM, ninety minutes after placing a three-item order, nothing was ready. I asked the staff why they were still quoting 20-minute turnarounds when the reality was 90+ minutes. I suggested they pause online ordering to let the kitchen recover. They told me the owner, Jared Grifoni, has instructed them to keep online orders on and to continue telling customers 20 minutes, despite knowing the kitchen is nowhere close to meeting that timeline. That's not a bad night. That's a policy decision to mislead customers for the sake of revenue. I requested a refund. As it was being processed, two of my three items finally came out. When the staff asked the kitchen about the last item, the answer was: "I have no idea when we'll get to that." I left at 7:46 PM, one hour and forty-one minutes after ordering. To be clear: the staff on the floor that night are not to blame. They were put in a no-win situation and handled it as well as anyone could. The issue is ownership making a conscious choice to overload the kitchen, deceive customers about wait times, and let the staff absorb the fallout. When I arrived, the restaurant was nearly full. When I left, it was almost empty. I won't be adding myself to either count again.

When the table became available, another couple was seated there instead. I overheard an interaction between employees implying they intentionally chose not to move us because we were already sitting at the bar. In other words, the table we were told was ours was knowingly given away. What made the situation worse was the lack of communication afterward. No one updated us or acknowledged what had happened until I finally asked about the table. At first, I was told the previous guests were taking longer than expected, which was not true. After I questioned that explanation, staff admitted the table had likely been reassigned by management. My biggest issues were the lack of communication, being misled about the situation and the complete lack of apology or acknowledgment from the manager, who was visibly checking on other tables while avoiding ours. Mistakes happen, but honesty and communication go a long way. Neither was handled well here. Otherwise, the food was delicious, but unfortunately it was hard to enjoy with our poor experience.

Luckily I was able to call ahead and get a reserved table in the courtyard at Arturos Bistro. The restaurant is a bit hidden and tucked away, it was a little hard for us to find but it's inside an office building. The courtyard is in the middle of the building so it's not a great view or anything, but it was protected from wind and they had heaters on. It was also quiet and they had some Frank Sinatra playing, which added a bit to the ambiance. Our server, Jacob, was super friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu. We found out he is the owner's son and has worked almost all positions at the restaurant! He was helpful with suggestions and very polite. We started with an order of the calamari which was perfectly tender and seasoned well. For my entree, I got the grouper, island style: "Sautéed with lemon butter sauce & capers topped with blue crab with mashed potatoes & fresh vegetables." The fish was perfectly cooked and I loved the flavors. It's a delicate fish but it was seasoned well. My entree came with a side salad, which was fresh and dressed nicely. The portions were large, and I thought prices were reasonable and in line with the area. The menu is full of classic Italian options, including several veal dishes, which I thought was interesting (don't see that around much where I'm from). We all agreed that this was a hit and we'd come back in the future. I'd recommend making a reservation!

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.
