    This is the place to come!!! We were in the area for a meeting and found Sammy's we will absolutely make the trip back up to try more food. Not only was Michael a superstar and recommended such great dishes he was attentive and welcoming! We also had stuffed mushrooms, garlic bread and chicken parm. We just can't say enough about how wonderful this restaurant is.

    Came in for a birthday dinner, as usual food is fantastic and service is amazing. My favorite restaurant along the shoreline.

    Beef stroganoff, delicious!
    Susie M.

    It's a beautiful Sunday and we were driving along the shoreline. We spotted Sammy's and decided to give it a try. Nice sized menu with lots of options. You don't see Beef Stroganoff on a menu very often so we both ordered it. So glad we did, it was delicious ! Came with salad and bread. The bread had a bowl of pimentos and green olives that you could add to your salad if you wish. The salad was so fresh and the cucumbers looked so fancy the way they were sliced. I wish the salad plate was a bit larger (the salad was fine just a bit difficult to navigate). We sat outside on their spacious front porch which was perfect as was the weather. Will definitely return because I want to try the French onion soup and other menu options.

    Yum yum yummy!!!  Great evening. Fun bar these are the stuffed mushrooms. So so good!!

    Great shoreline restaurant. Serve with a smile. Stuffed mushrooms were yummy!!! Sami burger was delicious. Salmon was delicious with an amazing helping of vegs.

    Chicken piccata, Delicious!!

    Our waitress was friendly, and helpful. We loved the decor inside, it was cozy and the tables and booths gave us privacy. The food was delicious, and plenty of it even for lunch.

    Chicken Francese ordered without pasta.

    Sal's Pizza & Pasta - Old Saybrook, CT…read more Slice Mob Takeover Nine members of the Slice Mob walked into Sal's Pizza & Pasta hungry. The pizzas never stood a chance. Located in Old Saybrook, Sal's is spacious, comfortable, and welcoming, with Italian classics playing in the background and plenty of room for a large gathering. It proved to be the perfect setting for a Slice Mob takeover. A variety of pizzas made their way to our tables, but I started with the basics: crushed tomatoes, fresh garlic, and grated Parmesan. Sometimes simple is best. Built on a beautifully crisp crust that held up from first bite to last, this pizza let the tomatoes shine. They were lightly seasoned and full of flavor, supported by the punch of garlic and the salty bite of Parmesan. No unnecessary distractions. Just a really well-executed pizza. Next up was Sal's Works. Same great crust and sauce foundation, loaded with sausage, pepperoni, bacon, roasted peppers, mushrooms, onions, and mozzarella. This pie struck a nice balance between meat-lover indulgence and vegetable-forward freshness. The toppings were applied with restraint and purpose, allowing every ingredient to contribute. Salty, sweet, savory, and packed with contrasting textures, from crispy bacon to tender sausage and vegetables, every bite worked. As more pizzas arrived, the room got a little quieter. That's usually a good sign. The Slice Mob tends to have plenty to say, but when great pizza hits the table, conversation takes a back seat. What stood out most? Not a single complaint from anyone. And if you've ever dined with the Slice Mob, you know that's about as rare as finding a parking spot in New Haven on a Saturday night. Michael, the second-generation owner, came out to greet us and pose for a photo. Super nice guy, humble, appreciative, and genuinely happy to see us. He also couldn't help but comment on the number of pizzas we ordered. Fair observation. We may have slightly exceeded the recommended daily allowance of pizza. The restaurant is beautiful. The staff was friendly and attentive. The food was excellent. And perhaps most surprising in today's world, the prices were incredibly reasonable. Judging by the smiles around the room, the empty trays, and the steady stream of pizzas coming out of the kitchen, Sal's didn't just feed the Slice Mob. They won us over. Great owners. Great staff. Great pizza. Sal's Pizza & Pasta is officially Slice Mob Approved. Pizza is life. See you at the next slice.

    We had a gift certificate for Sal's, and we had no idea what to expect. We went for lunch around…read more11:30 on a Saturday and it was almost empty. There were three of us in our party. We ordered a large regular pizza with extra cheese and a large salad. Before the food came out, the server brought us a large basket of warm bread and butter, which we were not expecting. That won us over immediately. Before long, she brought us an absolutely enormous salad. It had a nice variety of vegetables and a delicious balsamic vinegar and olive oil dressing. The pizza was perfectly cooked with a slight char, a nicely flavored cheese mix and a slightly sweet tomato sauce. The crust was thin and had a great texture. We were thrilled, and will definitely be back.

    Swung by here on a Saturday afternoon, and they were open. Apparently they close for the winter,…read morebecause I've tried a couple other times. We sat outside to enjoy the view. Our waitress was lovely. We ordered cocktails, which were pretty good, and the bang bang shrimp- yum!!! As well as the fried calamari (pretty good). We followed up with a second round of drinks- another cocktail for my husband, which was unique and tasty , and a glass of wine for me. Honestly...my rating may have been a 5 if the pour on the glass of wine wasn't so stingy. My husband said "it looks like that was what was left in the bottle and they didn't feel like opening another." As we were there midday, we opted for sandwiches: lobster roll (a little pricier than most places, but I get todays market), and a BLT, which was very much enjoyed. The fries were delicious. Our waitress, Abby, was delightful, and the food was good. Again... it wasn't cheap, so a bigger pour on the wine would have been appreciated, but service and ambience go a long way. Summer is just beginning, so we'll probably be back.
