Metro Detroit Foodie has featured Sammy's Cucina:

• I have to say that I think Grandma would be honored to have her food compared to Sammy's. The ingredient list is fresh, its quality, and not overly seasoned allowing the natural flavors of the food to stand on their own. – Anthony, Metro Detroit Foodie
