Top 100 Des Moines Restaurants, #7 Sam & Gabe's

#7 Sam & Gabe’s

One of my favorite people came to visit Iowa this weekend! I lived with Sarah when we studied in Australia, five (!) years ago. I was saving a restaurant in the top ten for her visit from Ohio and decided on Sam & Gabe’s Italian Bistro. http://www.samandgabes.com

We especially enjoyed the salad dressings. Creamy Cucumber and Creamy Parmesan.

Sarah ordered the Chicken Romano. It was tender and tasty.

I went with the Cannelloni al Forno. Veal, chicken, pork, spinach in a combo red/white sauce.

Dessert menu? Please.

The Tiramisu was aaamazing.

Thank you Livingsocial for the great deal!

And thank you Sarah for coming to Des Moines!!! Photo tribute for you. :)

Pre-scuba diving on the Great Barrier Reef.

Near the Sydney Opera House.

And this one is slightly embarrassing but it makes me smile…Wet suited up for swimming with dolphins in New Zealand.

And reunited in Des Moines. Yay! Can’t wait to visit you in Ohio!
