First time here. Good energy, it was already busy right after work but we fortunately were able to get seated as soon as we arrived. The staff was friendly. The walls are filled with sports and Italian memorabilia. Gangster films were playing on the two tvs near the bar area, which further added to the nostalgia the restaurant is attempting to invoke within its patrons. Bathroom was clean and well stocked. The food itself was average despite providing hearty servings. I ordered the eggplant parmesan and the eggplant was slightly mushy for my preference. The gnocchi was good, but nothing that separates itself from other gnocchi I’ve had in the past. Overall, this is a great place to meet people for happy hour after work or to have a quick meal, but I wouldn’t consider this place fine dining.

Formerly Joe Marty’s now Sampino’s Kitchen where I enjoyed an early dinner at 5pm on a Thursday. I was not disappointed. Looking forward to Minestrone Soup, but not on the Menu since Covid.

Haven’t been there in a really long time! Went there to celebrate early birthday. Service was great and attentive. I had the cherry lemon drop and the chicken piccata. Loved the lemon taste in the pasta dish. Pretty large portion, definitely leftovers for later.

Nothing but 5 stars across the board. It’s a step back in time walking through the door as sports memorabilia and family history decorates the walls. A ton of choices on the menu and a row of classic cocktails to start. Sampino’s is a super welcoming restaurant that we have been to a few times now and we keep coming back! It’s not just for the great food but also for the care and attention given by the staff. This has quickly become our go to neighborhood spot.

Late last week my daughter and I stopped by Joe Marty’s. I have walked by the place on my way to Tower Café many times. We decided to go in and see if a table was available. It was about 7:30 pm on Thursday night, the restaurant was almost full. We were seated right away. Ambiance was great, loved the baseball memorabilia. We shared the Calamari which I recommend (pairs well with a glass of Chianti). My daughter had the lobster ravioli, and she let me have a couple of bites. I had the Pesto Gnocchi, also excellent. Big portions, so I recommend bringing your appetite (or getting a to-go box). Will definitely be back!

A creditable photo was posted showing that this bar had a hidden camera placed below the bar. The camera could easily see up a customer’s clothing unknowingly when they sit at the bar. I have ate here before and will never come back due to that disgusting behavior.

First time in this restaurant. We went to celebrate my friends birthday and let me tell you, It’s a great experience. The ambiance is very welcoming and charming. Since we arrived, all the staff was great. I ordered some pasta , recommended by the waiter, and it was delicious. Amazing wines, food, and service. Staff are extremely knowledgeable and make great recommendations. It’s definitely a to go restaurant if you are in Sacramento. Thank you.

One of the best local restaurants for tasty Italian food served by the Sampino family who make you feel right at home. The dining room is comfortable and the menu and bar offer something for everyone.

A terrific restaurant! 5 different entrees with raves about every one of them. Our server was helpful with meal choices and very considerate of our conversation and dining experience with our friends. 10 out of 5 stars!

The best service I have had. Friendly and warm—they take pride in what they do. The food was incredible. One of the best meals I have had in years. This will become a regular destination.
