• Italian • Downtown
Booked 64 times today
Sammie’s is a little taste of old Italy in downtown Austin. It celebrates the great ‘red sauce’ institution—inspired by old school, legendary Italian-American restaurants. The menu offers classic dishes in a casual but sophisticated, retro-designed space that is both lively and comfortable, capturing the essence of a night out at your favorite neighborhood joint. The space consists of a central dining room overlooking Shoal Creek and 6th Street, polished wood bar, Mildred’s Room (a private dining/wine room), and wraparound patio dining area. Please note that patio seating is weather contingent. The menu offers riffs on standards including Housemade Mozzarella Sticks, Clams Casino, and Caesar Salad a la Tommy; timeless pastas like Spaghetti with Meatballs, and Linguine Vongole; and Sammie’s Classics: big portions of iconic plates like Chicken and Eggplant Parmigiana, Veal Marsala, and Baked Manicotti.

    Food did not disappoint. The ceasar salad was the best that I’ve ever had. Motzarella sticks were delicious and soft with a beautiful cheese pull. Not usually a fan of chicken parm but the sauce here was delicious. The tiramisu and Valentines cake special was superb. Our service was great and we had time to enjoy each dish before being served the next. Once the house got full the noise level was a little high but that doesn’t bother me 10/10 highly recommend this place.

    Seven of us had dinner to celebrate the birthdays of two of us. The service was absolutely outstanding and responsive. Appetizers (mushrooms and crabcakes) were great, and entries delicious. We were able to taste four different wines to determine which bottles of red and white we wanted. When we were cold, a heater was brought in to help. We had requested the garden room, hoping it would be quieter, and it was very nice.
