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.

    This is our second time at Sammie's and we loved it as much as the first time. This time we came in for my daughter's birthday and she was quite impressed. Our food was fantastic and despite being really busy did not take too long to be served.

    This is the best Italian restaurant in Austin. We love the food and the wait staff is outstanding. Yes, it’s a bit noisy, but well worth it because the food and service are so excellent. We will keep coming back.

    Overall was a mediocre experience. This is one of my favorite Italian restaurants and sad to say the waiter I had definitely made an impact on my experience. It will be hard to want to go back if this is what they are setting as a standard now. The food is absolutely phenomenal. The ambience of the restaurant is definitely amazing. Unfortunately, the waiter we had, had no personality, no energy, very bland and definitely made it seem like we were just more of a hassle. My drinks went empty several times and my check came quicker than the food, I felt like I was being pushed out. Getting reservations here is extremely difficult as you have to plan ahead so I was expecting nothing but the best experience. Sadly, this was not the case for us. We left disappointed in the service and the experience, but the food was delicious. Hopefully management can see this and make the corrections that need to be made here.
