About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for fine wines
  • Lively
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 is not just good, it's outstanding. Portions are large and are made for splitting. Caesar salad was the best I've ever tasted in my life. Desserts are delicious as well - the cheesecake was so good. The service was knowledgeable, helpful, and prompt. Simply no complaints here. I will return often. Book well in advance for reservations.

    It’s rare when a restaurant gets everything right on a first visit, but Sammie’s did it! We were immediately pleased with a wonderful table and an expert server who guided us masterfully through the menu and, more importantly, the world-class wine list. Next - drinks and bites were on the table in a very short time (I recommend the Sammie’s Manhattan, by the way). And then the “home run” - some of the very best traditional Italian food we’ve had this side of Italy. Both the Marsala and Piccata dishes we ordered were perfectly prepared and the accompanying pasta literally “made” the meal. With a shared gelato for dessert and a last sip of a delicious grappa, we knew we had enjoyed a special dinner. Now I understand why reservations are challenging! Bravo, Sammie’s!

    Our server Dylan was fantastic along with the food! We started out with drinks and a calamari appetizer. While the calamari was on a little of the salty side the marinara toned it down. The Cesar salad that Sammie's has was SO GOOD! I enjoyed the presentation and flavors. Our entree was delicious as well as our dessert. I've wanted to come to Sammie's for a while now and I am happy that we were able to come. The restaurant itself was very charming. The only downfall was that everyone was in the restaurant was particular loud that night, so it was sometimes hard to hear the conversation I was having with my husband from across the table.
