• Italian • Downtown
Booked 70 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.

Quince is an upscale casual, indoor/outdoor restaurant where all demographics and generations come together and enjoy a dining experience beyond normal expectations. People may initially visit for the terraces with exceptional views, but the food and the overall “Quince Experience” is what keeps them coming back. The "crave-worthy" and "global collective" menus & the team’s attentive and personal service are mixed with carefully-curated happy tunes which altogether create a positive-energy experience rarely found in a restaurant. This is how Quince in San Miguel de Allende (SMA), MX became rated top of its class and is the “# 1 rooftop restaurant in the world.” and the "#1 rooftop destination in the world" by Robb Magazine.

    Amazing from service, to food to ambiance. Went early to request a specific table by the water, Cyd was great. Then had to change the time, she made it happen. Upon arrival, Justin had many great detailed menu tips and recommendations. We had 3 apps and split the Salmon; we loved it all!

    Second time here at Aba, and it was just as wonderful as the first! Sandra was our server and she took fantastic care of us. She was very knowledgeable and friendly. All the food is amazing, but highly recommend the sweet potato spread! The entire restaurant is beautiful, but I love sitting outside here.

    Wow! Service was fantastic! Our waitress was so sweet and on top of it! We had two bottles of delicious French rose and a whole set of yummy oysters she helped us pick. I had a salad that had a generous portion for crab and my friends had burgers that they loved. Setting was also beautiful and comfortable. Thank you for a great dining experience ❤️
