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.

    Great food and atmosphere, but it gets very loud with lots of tables in a small space.

    Superb dining experience. We thoroughly enjoyed every dish we ordered. The best dressing for our Caesar salad! The Red Snapper, pasta and broccoli were are perfectly prepared. The brown butter gelato was so yummy that I really wanted another scoop. Highly recommend!

    Always first class at Sammie's. My only complaint is the noise level. It is hard to hold a conversation with a table of five. Otherwise, this place is the best!!!

    Everything was amazing. We came here on our honeymoon and the staff was so welcoming and took such good care of us! The Joe Reoli was delicious I definitely recommend. The crispy potato’s also just immaculate.

    The jazzy lunch is awesome! Their whole menu delivers excellence, including craft cocktails. This is our place to take out of towers for the big meal out. My girlfriend and I normally spend $250 so it's not cheap, the food is unbeatable!

    I celebrated my anniversary here last night and we had the best time! My boyfriend had never been to Sammie’s so I knew this was the right occasion. The service was amazing and the food was incredible as always. They wrote us the cutest card and our server gave us free ice cream to celebrate. I will never turn down an opportunity to come to Sammie’s! Perfect place for any occasion.

    Vibes are immaculate, very expensive though and I don’t even think the pasta is homemade but I’m not sure.
