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.

    Another great experience at the Sammie’s Jazz Lunch. The band was great, as always. Great service and a fun atmosphere. Delicious and satisfying food and a very interesting wine list with some unusual and excellent Italian varietals.

    I'm not the type to write bad reviews, but Sammie's last night was off their game big time. This was my 5th time visiting the restaurant and every other time was amazing service. We were excited to bring my in-laws to celebrate my father-in-law's birthday. My drink, a negroni, was completely forgotten about, and when my husband mentioned it, it didn't come out until halfway through our meal. Other glasses of wine and meals, that we didn't order kept being dropped off at our table, things that we did order, such as a side of broccoli, never came. The kicker was that we had left in the notes that we were celebrating a birthday. They did leave a "Happy Birthday" card on the table, which was sweet, but all night long, we saw a few other birthday desserts going out to different tables with a candle on top. A birthday dessert was not offered to my FIL who was celebrating his 77th birthday. Instead we paid for three of our own desserts. The food is really good at Sammie's but the service last night was unforgiveable. Very sloppy and disorganized all meal long. I'm sorry to say that this was my fifth and final time visiting this restaurant.

    We have been to Sammie’s several times with friends and EVERYTIME, our experience is excellent. We take friends whenever in town for them to enjoy as well. Food is just superb and we love the vibe as well. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Only complaint is it’s a tad pricy!

    We loved Sammie’s Italian, from the classic dishes to the old school Italian atmosphere. The lasagna and eggplant parmesan were excellent!
