Located on Spencer Iowa's South Grand Avenue is the gem of a restaurant known as Sammy's Italian Pasta & Pizza. This eatery serves up some of the most delicious Italian cuisine around. Their menu includes; Salads, Spaghetti, Home Baked Pastas, Homemade Specialties, Chicken dishes, Veal dishes, Seafood dishes, Sandwiches, Side orders and a locals favorite, their Pizza! Plus, twice daily they make and serve, with each table, their (should be patented) dinner rolls. Our group had their: • Chicken Florentine - Mushroom, onions, spinach, garlic cream sauce over spaghetti. My wife absolutely loved this large and tasty meal. • Chicken Marsala - Sauteed chicken with fresh mushroom, marsala wine sauce over spaghetti. I absolutely loved this (best ever) large and tasty meal. • Spaghetti Meatballs - Meatballs over a portion of spaghetti and smothered with their homemade marinara sauce. Our young diner loved this dish even though it required a face washing afterward. Their quality of superior service is slightly overshadowed by the quality of their superb dishes!

So I will update if I can get them to resolve this issue but I don't think they will so 70 dollars down the drain I tried to eat mine and it literally gave me a stomach aches and landed me in the bathroom for...
Read moreDon't judge a book by the cover! Don't pass this place up if you are traveling in Spencer on Highway 71 (on the west side of the road). First thing first...this place is being placed on my blog for "best little pizza places in Iowa." Let me give you some foodie advice "Fresh Dough" and you can tell the minute you walk in and see them hand tossing it in the back, OLD ITALIAN PIZZA STYLE! Awesome! You can also tell the minute you taste it. Great Pizza! Second, we went back (remember this is all carry out because of the COVID-19) they are backed up. People are waiting and the phone is ringing off the hook, the computer service they have is messing up and they are NOT SKIPPING A BEAT. We order the pasta this time (Pasta sampler, Chicken Alfredo, the works....) and we could NOT believe it! Super good Italian right in the heart of Spencer, IA! You have to try this place. However, be patient! It's...
