Sam and Luca Rustic Kitchen offers authentic Italian food and ambiance

Mesa’s newest and authentic Italian restaurant, Sam and Luca Rustic Kitchen, recently opened at the northeast corner of Power and Baseline roads, featuring nightly specials, wines on tap and a classic, modern atmosphere with an outside bar.

“Our first time trying this new Mesa restaurant and it was wonderful. The atmosphere is cozy, warm, inviting and moody with just a hint of swank. The music choice, Frank Sinatra, was spot on for the quaint, rustic Italian feel,” said Sloan D., a Mesa resident on Yelp reviews.

Just an easy, short drive off Highway 60 and Power Road, Sam and Luca is open nightly from 3 p.m. to close, with happy hour from 3 to 6 p.m. Happy hour specials, Monday to Friday, include $4 beers, $5 draft wines and $5 wells.

According to Zane, a favorite bartender at the restaurant, the calamari, rustic board and bruschetta are some of the most-ordered appetizers, with happy hour pricing starting at $6.

Patrons enjoy the outside patio dining area, and the variety of menu options, such as the Grilled Shrimp Risotto or The Mix Grill, both gluten-free choices.

“Just what we needed, local and far above average Italian restaurant in the neighborhood. The decor is stunning, clean, crisp lines. Comfortable seating. Open kitchen and a nice private party room. The service and wine lists are both over the top. The food was so good, soup fresh and homemade,” commented Mesa resident Audrie O. on Yelp.

Sam and Luca has feature nights, such as:

  • Mondays – Monday Wine Down – 50% off all Bottled Wines
  • Tuesdays – Homemade Lasagna and Salad for $17
  • Wednesdays – Spaghetti and Meatballs and a Salad for $15

Sam and Luca has opened to positive reviews, earning a 4.5 star rating on Yelp. Several new patrons have expressed their genuine opinions.

“My first visit. I was very pleased. The prices are reasonable. The atmosphere fantastic: rustic, elegant, classic, modern. The food is beyond exceptional. As well, the service. Great for a date or hang time with the girls. There’s even a flat screen at the quaint bar if you want to watch sports. The clams and mussels appetizer is a must,” posted Monica T. of Mesa.

So, if you are searching for a new, authentic, romantic Italian restaurant in Mesa, go no further than Sam and Luca Rustic Kitchen. Reservations are accepted on OpenTable.com, or on the website at SamandLucaAZ.com. Holiday party reservations are available.

For more information, call (480) 659-6716, or visit the website at SamandLucaAZ.com.

The restaurant is located at 1959 S. Power Road, in the Fry’s shopping center.

We really enjoyed Sam & Lucas, an Italian restaurant on the NE corner of Power and Baseline Rd. in Mesa. The ambiance was intimate, the food … excellent! The greeters and the wait staff were above par as well and the music playlist was just right. In short we had a great time. I’ll be telling all my friends about your place and encouraging them to give it a go. Best taste of Italian I’ve found since leaving N.Y. Two thumbs up sirs.
