What a disappointment! We arrived at 7:45pm and seated without a long wait on Thursday before Memorial weekend. We thought we were very lucky. Then everything went south. We waited 15 min. No one came to our table. We asked the hostess and were told a waitress should be here soon. Waited another 10 min. We almost left but we were too hungry and too tired at that point, so decided to stay. Finally a waitress came and told us NO ONE TOLD HER WE WERE THERE. This is not the smallest restaurant but not a big restaurant. She knows her section and could easily glance over. We kind of knew what we want to order by then but asked a few questions about Angel Hair Pasta. She said that’s the most popular dish that evening & everyone liked it. I also asked about the mussels and she said it’s good and also good portion. Since we weren’t in a mood for pizza that day, we opted for capri salad, baby spinach salad, mussels and angel hair pasta. The both salads were ok. Spinach salad dressing tasted worse than I tasted at the airport lounge. But we had no idea the worst was yet to come… again we waited long for the dish when finally arrived mussels were so salty I couldn’t eat. I had to return which I hardly ever do. The pasta had no tastes at all and extremely dry. The grilled chicken inside not just dry but tasted like rubber. We were too hungry at that point, so we ate pasta without chicken. But it was sooooooooo bad. Left over food without heating would taste better at home. When we asked the check I gave her feedback about the pasta being tasteless and the chicken wasn’t edible. Guess what? We waited again, then the waitress basically throw the check on the table. This is the established restaurant since 1947 and I expected to be better. Much better… well, we won’t be back!

This restaurant shouldn’t be in business. I ordered a chicken parm that came out completely burned along with there being no cheese at all. Do not go here.

Delicious Italian comfort food priced like they don’t realize they’re in the Hamptons and could charge 50% more. Then again, maybe that’s why they’ve been around for 75 years. It’s my new favorite place in the Hamptons.

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).

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.

Terrible vibe, definitely not what it once was. Have been going for 10+ years and so disappointed. Showed up at 9:20 (google maps said it closed at 9:30) was left standing at the hostess stand for 5 mins while multiple staff walked by (with no greeting) and then some rude woman came up said they couldn’t seat us and that “the kitchen had to close early”.

Private chefs out to dinner on night off. Let’s get the 3 star thing out of the way, it’s really dark in there…. That’s why 3 on atmosphere.

I have been going here since I was 3 years old and it is the best pizza place anywhere in the world yeah you could get some fancy pizza in Naples you can get some slices of pizza in New Yorker City but Sam’s pizza in Easthampton New York is the best pizza out there and may I also suggest the Rosaline salad which is named after a former owner and a delight to us locals and it has a great bar with wonderful bartenders and the waitresses in the restaurant can’t be any nicer
