"We’re not sure who Tommy is, but we are sure Tommy deserves a statue. Or, at the very least, a medal. A small reward for the seemingly simple innovation of adding a few dollops of chile crunch to the top of a caesar salad, transforming a standard appetizer into something special." - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs, nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs, nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs, matthew jacobs, nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs, nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs, nicolai mccrary, nicolai mccrary, nicolai mccrary, nicolai mccrary

A local overheard my husband and me talking about dinner options earlier today. He recommended Sammy G’s Tuscan Grill. Glad we went. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. The larger tables on the outdoor patio have a fire feature in the middle to keep you warm, while the smaller tables have heat lamps. We chose to sit outside on the outdoor patio with the twinkling lights. It’s beautiful. We shared a Caesar salad to start. My husband had sand dabs and I had gnocchi. The sand dabs were melt-in-your-mouth delish in a white wine lemon sauce. My gnocchi came with either a creamy pesto or a four cheese sauce, but I asked for a basic marinara sauce instead. Basic but good. At the end of the meal, our server James brought us biscotti and amaretto on the house. Nice touch!

We went to Sammy G’s for Christmas Eve dinner and loved the food. It is one of the popular restaurants in Palm Springs and located conveniently at the heart of the Palm Canyon drive. The seafood risotto and pesto chicken pizza were great. Service was good and the ambience was warm and inviting. Will definitely recommend if you are in the mood for authentic Italian food.

The food was okay, but not particularly authentic Italian. It felt more Americanized, which was a bit disappointing as Europeans, especially considering the strong ratings. The balsamic on the caprese was quite sweet, and the linguine alle vongole was almost served like a soup. The spaghetti Milanese was fine, though not very well seasoned. On the positive side, the ambiance was very nice, and we were served warm bread with an olive tapenade, which we appreciated. We walked in and were given a very nice table next to the water fountain. With the bill, we were also offered complimentary amaretto and cantuccini, which was a lovely gesture.

We love going to the bar area, and on Thursdays, Friday and Saturday they have the best cover band from the 70's and 80's. Great place to go dancing!

I had the most wonderful dining experience at Sammy G’s Tuscan Grill! From start to finish, everything was exceptional. The atmosphere was festive and welcoming, with beautiful lights and a lively vibe that made the evening feel special.

A very busy restaurant that I would recommend you book. I booked a table outside. I was given a very nice welcome and all the staff were lovely throughout the meal. I ordered the rack of lamb which was cooked perfectly. It could have been a bit hotter but having mint jelly made up for this. I also had a bottle of beer and a glass of wine and the bill came to $59 which i thought was quite reasonable. (July 25)

Went there last night for my birthday dinner per recommendation from a friend. We sat in the back patio, but be prepared to be warm lol regardless it was very pretty, we had a great and attentive waiter, and the food and drinks were great as well. I had a seafood risotto and it was very good! At the end of our dinner we all got a complimentary amaretto with some biscotti, which I thought was a very nice touch! All in all, our experience was great, I would definitely recommend it and will definitely go back!

Great experience at Tuscanos in Palm Springs. The hostess and our server James were friendly and attentive. The caprese and calamari appetizers were excellent, and the homemade lasagna was rich, cheesy, and perfectly saucy. We ended the night with a complimentary dessert, which was a great touch. Would definitely return.

Sammy G's Tuscan Grill exceeded all expectations! I was able to call and get a same-day reservation for 11 people, which is impressive since large groups are usually hard to accommodate--especially last minute. They not only fit us in, but seated us in a private room, which made the experience even better. Our server was extremely friendly, attentive, and helpful from start to finish. To begin, we ordered the calamari, which was perfectly cooked--soft, tender, and paired with sauces that were just as delicious. The Sammy G's fries (truffle fries) are a must--amazing flavor and perfectly done. The garlic bread was also great, and their complimentary house bread was fresh, soft, and delicious with the olive tapenade and oil mix. I ordered the Caesar salad, which was perfectly made and refreshing. For my entrée, I chose the chicken marsala and substituted pasta instead of veggies--absolutely delicious and highly recommended. For drinks, I had the Palm Springs Mule, and honestly, it's one of the best mules I've had to date. To top it all off, they surprised our entire group with complimentary amaretto and biscotti, which was such a thoughtful and delightful touch. Everyone in our group loved their food--I didn't hear a single complaint. The interior is beautiful, and the patio at night is amazing, perfectly lit with heaters and a great ambiance. Overall, an incredible experience. I'll definitely be back and highly recommend everyone try Sammy G's Tuscan Grill!

I used to live this place, and then... We arrived early, it is New Year, we asked if there was a chance to get a table. None available. That's ok. I've been coming here for more than a decade for many holidays. The hostess said we could eat in the bar. We stepped out, discussed, and came back in and suddenly there were two Pell at the door to the bar and said we needed reservations for something we had just been told we did not. Not only that they only looked at their devices and did not honor the approval to sit by the hostesses. You have lost a lifelong customer for such rudeness Goodbye

Came and it was still happy hour. It's large with indoor and outdoor seating. I was able to bring my dog to their patio area, lots of heat lamps to keep you warm. The server's are quick to bring you a menu and your drinks. Calamari Fritti - it was light and not overly battered. It's a nice crispy appetizer to start your meal. Sirloin slider - 2 sliders that came with french fries. Nothing special, but it's ok to try Grilled New York Strip - came with salad and french fries. The cut is nothing special, but it's happy hour price. It's satisfying for a meal overall. New Zealand Lamb Chops - came with 4 lamb chops, wasn't too gamey in flavor. Happy to come try more of their menu and their indoor menu.

A beautiful patio for dining. White tablecloths and black napkins. The planters, lights, palm trees help make the space. We started with a house merlot and complementary fresh bread and an olive tapenade. We asked for olive oil and got balsamic vinegar as well. Then a beautiful and delicious caprese salad. She chose cauliflower ceviche bruschetta served on a cutting board. It was pretty and tasty. Loving risotto I chose Tuscan risotto. Sausage, chicken, artichoke hearts and Kalamata olives. It had a nice flavor but the rice was overcooked. We finished with complementary liqueur and biscotti. Mario was an exceptional host/server. Our evening was made better by his presence.

Summary: phenomenal Caesar, generous portions, great bread and olive tapenade, delicious pastas Caesar salad: 9.1/10 this is how I like my Caesar. Creamy, peppery, with the sharp contrast of the fresh Parmesan shavings. My wife and I also really liked the size of the mini croutons which added a tasty savory crunch. Chicken penne vodka sauce: 8.5/10 the sauce, was perfectly balanced with the brightness and sweetness of the tomatoes and the creaminess of the heavy cream. This was a classic vodka sauce. The chicken breast was cooked well in butter. Seafood pasta (chef's special): 8.7/10 this was a seafood linguine with a scampi sauce. It was loaded with shrimp, scallops, and lobster. The sauce was buttery seafoody rich and spicy. I had the server give me two scoops of Parmesan cheese to add extra umami and help thicken the sauce. There was nothing special about the linguine pasta itself in order to take this dish up to the nines I would've wanted a more interesting pasta shape/texture.

We enjoyed the food. The wait, not so much. I dined here with two others on a Monday evening. It was very convenient as we walked here from our hotel in the heart of Downtown Palm Springs. The restaurant had both indoor and outdoor seating available. We sat outside since we had a dog with us. As soon as we were seated, the nice waitress brought water for the dog in a dog bowl. Bagel, the dog, was grateful. :) The menu had a wonderful selection of Italian options. We selected the calamari, the shrimp stuffed pasta shells, a steak, and two vegetarian pizzas. While we waited, we gobbled down two baskets of complimentary bread. The wait was quite long and we were very hungry. By the time our food arrived, two of us were already full. But we did our best. The pizzas were generously sized. The steak was in good portion. Everything was tasty, but since two of us were already full, the pizzas flavors did not hit their full potential (and were doggie bagged) until the next afternoon when it was my lunch. Service was okay, but super slow. Our server was friendly and nice but not very attentive. It took us a while to flag him down for the check. Prices were reasonable. Rounding up from a 3.5, this restaurant earned itself a 4 for this visit.

Best happy hour in Palm Springs Stopped by for happy hour on a Sunday. The restaurant is big has different outdoor areas and free parking in the back We sat at the outdoor patio by the bar. We were hungry and ordered a lot of food for 3 of us. Best from first to last: Pesto pasta Steak and fries Lasagna Bbq chicken pizza Sliders with fries (these were ok just dry) The drinks were all delicious! Amazing portions of food, I loved it here! Service was great, the food was brought out quickly. I am looking forward to coming back on my next trip.

I feel like each and every Palm Springs visit, we've always ended up here. That's normally a good sign as we know we'll be pleased with our meal. Also a good go to if we don't know what we want. Summer crowds tend to always change as it can get busy and then all of a sudden it's quiet. We stopped by on a Monday evening which no one was seating on the outdoor patio area. There's usually a hostess there but this time we had to go inside to get seated. Hostess was sweet. We still wanted to be outside so the upstairs patio was available. Our waitress as well as everyone working was sweet. Didn't have a starter which is unusual for us. Beer was a start, gotta stay hydrated in the heat...lol... also the bread and tapenade was great especially when the bread is still hot. Entrees, the linguine rustica. Basically everything in it with shrimp, steak and chicken and tossed in a red sauce with bell peppers and onions. Very flavorful and very filling. Always a good choice. And the tortellini. Sauce was great and mixed with peas. A nice similarity to carbonara. Food and service has always been excellent. There was no room for dessert but biscotti and a nice dessert liquor is always brought out to finish the meal. A cute place with a nice meal, that's why we're always back.

Today my two closest friends(family) and I went to Sammy G's for lunch to celebrate my wife's passing into Our Lords arms. As always the service was superb, friendly and very attentive. Being a former restaurant supervisor, I found Renata is a joy in which I've had the pleasure of her professional, attentive and cheerful service before. The food is exceptional and priced very reasonable. $$ My buddy Kirk had their signature cheeseburger which he stated as one of the very best he's had!! The salmon chef salad, sausage/peppers and my Ribeye steak with a Cabernet reduction is absolutely delicious, tender and cooked perfectly. A delicious and beautiful patio dining experience all around.

What a fantastic place with a great atmosphere, service, and food! Along the Palm Springs strip, this place starts off with an outside patio area that is beautiful with some fountains in the area as well. Once inside you are welcomed with a family atmosphere with a bar on one side and the main dining room on the other. We were there for happy hour so we sat in that side. The service was maybe the most friendly I have seen anywhere. Everyone was smiling and friendly from the hosts, to the bartenders, and the servers. It was very welcoming and made for a positive experience. We got two drinks, the lemon drop and a mule. The lemon drop is made with their homemade limoncello and you can really tell, it was one of the best lemon drops I have had. The food was really good! I think the pan fried ravioli was the standout as it had this "puff" shell along with a delicious inside. The eggplant parm, antipasti, and pizza were all great as well and satiating! Overall, if you want some good Italian/tuscan food, this is a great place!

We always have a good time when we go to Sammy G's. They have a large menu with Italian dishes that are very good. The salad selection is also very good I was very pleased with my Mediterranean salad. The pizzas are very typical of California style pizzas lacking any fantastic flavor but you still have to call them pizzas. The service is saying to use is very good also but the high point is on the weekends when you can do some dancing and enjoy some good music with a good meal. We like Sammy G's

2 years later - same stars and experience. Do NOT order steak Diane here, the sauce was super salty and the meat tasted weird. We left most of it untouched along with the tasteless green beans. Otherwise, nice ambiance and good service.

Stop by here with the kids while our mini vacay to PS. We didn't know what to eat and were walking around on the strip and stopped by Sammy G's Tuscan Grill. Wait staff was super friendly (we were super under dressed btw). They started us off with bread and an olive oil, mushroom dip. We started off with Calamari and then ordered a NY steak and Penne with Marinara sauce for the little ones, a Shrimp Linguine Portofino for my little girl, and the Linguine Mussels and clam for me. The food came out fairly quick. The calamari was good, but I'm used to it being more crispy, but overall good. The little ones Ny Steak came out perfect, visually and cooked perfect. The shrimp linguine Portofino was delicious, but it's heavy. The linguine mussels and clam was delicious too, with plenty of mussels and clam that came with it. It was a very light sauce. The kids penne with marinara sauce was simple and delicious also. For desert we had lemon sorbet and an apple crisp. My apple crisp was so good. I think I downed it in a minute lol. So, why 4 stars instead of 5...? Because the service was kind of lagging. We did t get checked up on often. I finished my ice tea and waited and waited, then asked a different server to get me a refill, and that refill never came. So I waited and wait u til our server came back to us. Same with the bread. The little ones enjoyed the complimentary bread and I asked for some extra at the time we ordered and it was never brought out to us. Food - delicious! Couldn't have been better Service - 3.5 stars out of 5. I would definitely go back and recommend it to others though... just be patient.

Sammy G's Tuscan Grill is an authentic Italian restaurant located inPalm Springs , California. They not only have all the Italian classics like chicken Parmesan, but they also have a filet mignon carpaccio that was out of this world! In addition to some of these items, their Happy Hour is spot on with offering so many different food and drink options. We ordered: Pesto Gnocchi Kids pizza Filet Mignon Carpaccio Chicken Parmesan Rack of Lamb - HH Aperol Spritz

We had the BEST meal and experience here at Sammy G's! There were so many great options on the menu. We had to start with the calamari obviously, which was delicious! Our group ordered the chicken parm, pesto gnocchi, and rose alla vodka. Every single meal was delicious!! The service was great, everyone who interacted with us was extremely kind and helpful. We came and celebrated my birthday and they brought out a dessert for me which was so thoughtful. I also loved the after meal amaretto, it truly made this place that much more authentic! I highly recommend checking out Sammy G's, I will absolutely be back the next time I'm in Palm Springs!

Sammy G's Tuscan Grill really surprised me in the best way. These days, taking a family of four out to dinner can feel like a major financial event, especially in a place like Palm Springs. This restaurant is the rare exception. It sits right on the main strip, but the prices feel grounded. You can get a solid pasta, several house wine options, and still walk away feeling like the meal was worth what you paid. They start you with a basket of fresh bread and their olive tapenade mixed with olive oil. It is simple but genuinely good. When you ask for more, the staff brings it without making you feel like you are asking for something unusual. That alone sets the tone for the rest of the service. Everyone is friendly, attentive, and easy to talk to. The atmosphere helps seal the deal. Warm colors, alcoves, detailed wall art, and rustic beams make it feel like an old Italian spot rather than a tourist-driven restaurant. The rooms have a cozy charm, and the outdoor fountain adds a nice touch if you want to sit outside. Even on Thanksgiving weekend on a Friday night, they had availability, which makes me think this place is still a bit of a hidden gem. If you want a relaxed Italian dinner on the main drag that does not drain your wallet and still delivers on atmosphere and service, this is an easy choice.

The food was excellent and a great value , especially nowadays. The rib eye steak dinner was superb! Our waiter, Brandon, was also excellent! There are so many restaurants in Palm Springs and the surrounding area that it's hard to narrow it down. This place is a must! Every Italian dish I saw come out looked delicious and the helpings were generous!

Tried Sammy G's today for the first time and the overall experience was great. My friends and I went early for lunch and took advantage of the happy hour specials. The bar seating area is large and comfortable and the happy hour menu is a good one, with a lot of choices. Jessie, the bartender, was very attentive and we were never without a cold beer or fresh water. I ordered the calamari fritti and the lasagne. My wife had the minestrone soup and Caesar salad. One of our friends ordered the NY Strip steak. The only slight disappointment was the soup. For one thing, it had been spilled all over the place before it arrived at the table. They had placed a paper napkin under the soup bowls and the napkin was soaked with soup. Although the soup was tasty, it was not what my friends expected. It was potatoes, carrots, and zucchini. There were no beans and no pasta in the soup. The calamari was terrific. A very nice portion for the $10 happy hour price. Lightly breaded and just great. The lasagne was also good. A nice portion with plenty of melty cheese and meat sauce. All four of us enjoyed our experience and enjoyed talking to Marc, the manager, who came by our table. Great experience. Looking forward to returning.

The best gluten free pasta I have ever had! Staff was helpful in ordering a dish that I liked, but modifying it to be something gluten free. It did not disappoint, and was so good we went more than once on vacation. The owner was kind and went out of her way to make sure my allergy was known. She made you feel cared for. A very great atmosphere! Gluten free sauce vodka sauce (red sauce and cream) was amazing!

So goood!!! The food was delicious and the ambience was super chill and they have a lovely patio both inside(covered) and outside if you'd like a bit of sun. We will definitely be back soon! We stumbled across this place after having no luck on finding a dinner spot on a Monday night that was open and wasn't fast food. We also happened to make it to happy hour(so worth it!) the food and drinks were truly delicious. We had the margarita and mule and for food we split the lasagna, pizza, sirloin sliders(surprisingly yummy), and Caesar salad (my fave!). Our server was nice and attentive.

The place had a vibrant atmosphere with live music playing in the bar area. I came here for dinner and decided to try the risotto, which was incredibly tasty. The tiramisu, on the other hand, was just okay, but still enjoyable. The staff were friendly, although the service was a bit slow; I guess they were short on help. They asked if we had a reservation, but when I looked online, I couldn't find any option to make one, which was a bit unexpected. Giving it a 3.5

This morning, we were back for Brunch!! Three of us sat on the covered patio and had a beautiful time enjoying conversation, great service from Renata, and the best food at a nominal price. Sammy's cannot be beat in any of the most important food service categories! We had bottomless champagne to accompany our BBQ Chicken Pizza, Chicken Picatta, and my fabulous Salmon (cooked medium rare)...to die for!! Baguettes with fresh olive tapenade, and perfect veggies! We frequently stop in for Happy Hour and really enjoy lunch and weekend brunches. Life is short...WHAT are YOU waiting for...come in today... You will love this place in the Vineyard, downtown Palm Springs.

The service was exceptional. The calamari was light and crispy ,great spicy marinara,I had the Tuscan risotto I almost never get risotto anywhere because it's usually not made correctly but this was superb. right down to the New York strip stake that my granddaughter had which could usually feed an adult but was considered a child's portion also cooked to perfection.

This place came highly recommended and I was so excited to get it on a recent trip to Palm Springs. I brought 5 friends with me and hyped it up and we were all incredibly disappointed. We ordered a variety of food-the steamers, lasagna and pasta and other appetizers and not only was the food cold, half of our order was wrong or didn't come out at all. We had to wait over 30 minutes to get the attention of any server And ask about the rest of our food, even though there were only 2 other parties dining in the lounge/bar area of the restaurant. They said they would bring out the missing food items and we waited another 45 minutes and the food never came and they never replaced nor heated up the cold food. Also-after being there sever hours (waiting for food) we were never offered to order another round of drinks (and we were a group in day one of vacay mode!) The items were not removed from our check and we got tired of waiting and paid and left. There is street free parking in a lot behind the restaurant and the bathrooms are clean and nice. The only reason I gave his place 2 stars is for the AWESOME live band that was playing! They had great vibes and at least kept us entertained, although we were hungry...

Okay, Sammy.. you can cook a mean Italian dish. My opinion matters because I'm a connoisseur and also I can cook a good Italian dinner as well. Decided to come here to celebrate my birthday and all I could say is mama Mia! Got the calamari and it came out warm and crispy just how we like it. I chose the wild mushroom ravioli and hubby got the chicken parmensan. I could see why the ravioli is such a staple..so melt in your mouth, earthy and just the right amount of cheese. The chicken parm was fried to perfection paired with a savory tomato sauce. Employees here were really nice. For it being Mother's Day, they were on it. Attentive and quick. Hubby and I agreed that this will have to be a stopover when in Palm Springs. A month later and we still think about our dish. I need to shake Sammy's hand! 5 stars.

Food is good, not elegant or high end, and good for groups . Service is very good. All the staff very efficient and friendly. Good for cocktails but not much to say about their wines. Lower end wines by the glass and average selection of bottles. Band started to play in the bar and apparently have a fun and lively nightclub scene. I'd go back.

Came here last night for a large group event. We had reserved two rooms and we absolutely loved the atmosphere and decor as soon as we walked in. They have it decorated a little more for the holidays right now, which was so cute. There is plenty of outdoor seating with little fireplaces, as well as indoor seating of course. Waiters and waitresses were all friendly and the service was great. We did have only one waitress for the entire party , but she did a great job and got all our orders right. Now the food, was delicious! I ordered the chicken piccata , and my partner ordered the homemade lasagna! Those were absolutely delicious! The chicken piccata presentation was absolutely adorable, very clean, and I love the flavor. It was definitely more on the lemony side.. which it's supposed to cuz of the lemon and capers sauce. I personally loved it. The lasagna didn't look as presentable, but the flavor was all there! The marinara sauce was so good and you can tell it's full of flavor just by looking at it. They provided bread and butter and all of tapenade before the meal arrived. And dessert..? an adorable cheesecake that was so creamy and delicious! my partner, got cannoli, which was also delicious! We will definitely be coming back here!

The Chianti reduction, was so full of flavor. First steak trying in Palm Springs and did not disappoint. My medium rare robe eye was cooked to perfection. Juicy, tender, flavorful and the reduction was just such perfect pairing.

My pasta here was amazing! I got the fettuccine Alfredo, and loved it. It was definitely on the rich and creamy side. They were also able to accommodate my husband who has a ton of food allergies (gluten, dairy, egg and nuts). We went right when they opened and it was pretty empty. Our service was good. The ambience is relaxing and it felt pretty large inside. They also give complimentary bread with some sort of olive dip. They also gave us a free shot of amaretto and biscotti cookies, which may have been because I mentioned we were in town for our anniversary in the reservation.

Celebrated a birthday at Sammy Gs! The service was fantastic! Our server was very sweet and attentive. She helped one of my friends out when she accidentally ordered an entree with pork in it. They provided our group with a free birthday dessert and complimentary amaretto shots (lemonade for our pregnant friend)! We were taken care of there and had a great time! The food was delicious! Everyone was happy with their choices. For appetizer we had calamari, Caesar salad, and carpaccio! For entree I had the ciopino which was delicious and I made it spicy! We sat outside on the patio because the weather was perfect and loved the vibe! There's a beautiful fountain.
