Johnny, Vince & Samโs is a great spot for classic Italian comfort food. The spaghetti and meatballs were enjoyable, with well-seasoned, tasty meatballs, though the sauce was a little mild and didnโt quite deliver a โwowโ factor. On the other hand, the pizzas truly stood out, a perfectly crisp crust with a soft, fluffy interior. The salami pizza had just the right kick of heat and was especially satisfying. The dรฉcor was warm and inviting, making it feel like a family dinner at Nonnaโs house. Overall, a very solid dining experience.
Absolutely loved this dining experience, it literally took my husband I back in time and we felt like we had walked into our parents home in the 70โs. The attention to detail in all the decor enhanced the experience and the food was amazing, especially the meatballs. I didnโt take photos of the food as I was too busy enjoying the whole experience.
Maria served us and she was the best! So kind, polite and helpful - nothing was too much trouble. Would highly recommend ordering the arancini but all of the food was mouthwatering delicious. We loved the pictures of Sooshi Mango on your way to the toilet. The whole place definitely took you back in time, especially the plates.
10 out 10!! The food was beyond amazing, simple, authentic Italian cooking without any unnecessary pomp or fluff. We felt instantly transported back to Italy, less is more, the pasta is a vessel and a simple sauce is the star, this is exactly what you want in a meal. We ate so much I actually felt in pain for the afternoon but it was worth it for such an authentic, homestyle experience, best meal of the year, hands down. The service was also exceptional from all the team and wait staff who looked after us. Grazie!
Visited ten days ago and really had a good time here. Sadly Iโve been too busy these days to write a good review :( We really enjoyed the atmosphere, and luckily we met with a birthday party and also joined part of the birthday song. Phil is a really kind gentleman who gave us good recommendations for the meals and also nice service. We have told him that there are really good comments about this restaurant on a Chinese social platform named as Small Red Book. The restaurant is called โThree Eldersโ as a nickname. We loved the food but sadly we missed Lasagna, so we will definitely come back for it next time. The decorations are so warm, making me feel like I am at Christmas time.
