Pete & Sam's Restaurant

We went for our Valentine's date this year! At first we were really bummed to see some changes to the menu, like them not having the antipasto appetizer anymore, but the food was absolutely phenomenal! It was was better than we ever remembered, and we can't wait to go back. I'll say the service was pretty slow, but the food really made up for it.

Been coming here for years with friends and family but I just think the food needs a revamp. I can't score lower because this is a Memphis staple and I can't disrespect it like that but the food really could use some work. Our salad was floating in oil and vinegar and really shouldn't be called a salad it was basically just lettuce. Our steak was cooked medium rare and was delicious! We had mozzarella sticks which were very good as well. I wish the lighting in the room we were in was a bit dimmer as it was Valentine's Day and I wanted a more romantic atmosphere. Overall I would say there is better Italian out there but if you want to experience a piece of Memphis give it a try!

The food is consistently good. I love the spinach. The Gorgonzola stuffed celery is delicious. The wait staff is always friendly. I love the decor and the music. When I want Italian, Pete and Sam's is what I want.

Pete & Sam's is an iconic restaurant in the Memphis, Tennessee area and the fact that this restaurant has been around since the 1940's alone is a testament to this restaurant.Pete & Sam's has a dated feel, but I think that is part of the appeal. It is comforting and I am confident that it brings back lots of amazing memories for anyone who grew up in Memphis, Tennessee and grew up coming to this restaurant. The emphasis on the food here is Italian, though the menu is diverse enough that most can find something to intrigue and delight them.Our server here was friendly and professional and added to our overall experience. Pete & Sam's is a long-standing business and definitely a part of this community. I would definitely recommend coming to Pete & Sam's and dining at a restaurant that has such a history in Memphis, Tennessee.

Perfect dinner last night wonderful waitress. Brought home leftovers and had Pete and Sam's last night. Superior management, locally owned. Best in Memphis!

We usually don't eat out at Italian places, as we're normally disappointed (several of our grandparents were born in Italy and we grew up with a lot of home-cooked meals). However, this place changed our minds.We had a group of us celebrating three birthdays so we had quite an extensive selection. The standout were Parmesan Pauly, the meatballs, and the cannolis. Honorable mention, goes to their stuffed mushrooms and the serving staff. There were several other entrees, which I didn't mention since I didn't taste them myself, but everyone raved about theirs.Speaking of staff, they're very efficient and amiable. Several have been there for many years, which is a reflection of the quality of the place.Prices are reasonable. Nothing special about the ambience - a typical Italian restaurant. I would highly recommend this if you're looking for a good Italian eatery.

A Memphis Classic. I always look forward to eating here when I'm back in town and I'm never let down. My only complaint is how busy they always seem to be.Keep killing it.As a side note: On my last visit we had the cutie's waitress, I'm sure it was her first night unsupervised, she was shockingly nervous. But she did a wonderful job and we all had an amazing evening.

Pretty cool decor lots of Elvis items on the wall. The service was cool as the server was able to accommodate a very large group so kudos to the server. Unfortunately, I wasn't pleased with the food at all. Sorry to say that the food was very basic. The meatball sandwich was very mid the meatballs were dense and not very flavorful. The mini side pizza was a very unique option and the caramelized onions were good, but again basic. Keep in mind they are pricy but for me the quality just isn't there nor worth the price. Overall it was just okay.

I LOVE Pete and Sam's!!!! Bartenders are awesome. Fish, steak, pizza, pasta, the only way to go wrong is not to go here!

Good wine and stuffed celery. Eggplant parmigiana was not hot and sauce was watery. It was just soggy. The place was packed for Valentine's day so I don't know if the dish was just not delivered promptly or just not good to begin with. Cannoli was so hard it had to be stabbed with the fork to get a bite. Overall I was very disappointed.
