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.
The menu offers riffs on standards including Housemade Mozzarella Sticks, Clams Casino, and Caesar Salad a la Tommy; pastas like Spaghetti with Meatballs, and Linguine Vongole; and Sammie’s Classics

Sammie’s is perfection! It made me feel like I was in New York City! The food is worthy of a million stars, the ambiance is chic and the service was great! Celebrating my 29th birthday here in November!

First time coming here and we will be back. Make sure to make reservations; you can come without reservations but expect a wait.

Small intimate restaurant with great service. I had the mozzarella sticks as recommended by most. They were bland and I didn’t find anything exciting about the marinera sauce. It lacked flavor but was perfectly crispy on the outside and gooey (cheese) on the inside. I don’t recommend unless you prefer bland sticks. The lasagna and bread were good and large enough to share. There was a good amount of cheese and a slight char on the edge which I enjoyed as it was not a burnt taste. There was flavor/seasoning in the lasagna. It’s not overbearing but just enough. The bread is fresh and delicious. One piece was ro temperature but a bottom piece was cold. I found it odd to be cold but it didnt bother me it was still delicious. The staff were all professional and attentive (except 1 in regards to his attentiveness). We had 3 different staff speak to us and ask how everything was. One,which I believe was part of management, noticed our drinks needed to be refilled. Our glasses were not empty long but he quickly noticed and asked if we wanted a refill. Our waiter, Mia, checked on us regularly and was very nice and knowledgeable. Great service I definitely recommend this spot due to their high quality customer service! The food was good – lasagna and my friend enjoyed the shrimp appetizer and the chicken parmesean meal. The place is very loud as it is a small space. Parking is not good so plan accordingly. I was able to snag a spot on the street on a Monday around 7pm. Reservations seem hard to get but I did notice a couple empty seats around 8pm so maybe that’s a good time to try to walk in for dine in. Overall nice relaxed spot with a great wine selection, good food and great customer service.

The restaurant use to be home to Huts Hamburgers. A shame, they will be dearly missed. Sammie’s is an old style Italian restaurant, think tomato sauce on almost everything. I had great expectations for this restaurant, given its owners. But it only turned out to be average. The food ranged from bland to too salty. The bread offering is cold like it just came out of a refrigerator. The dish below is their interpretation of lasagna. I would call it a lasagna pancake. Tasteless and almost no meat. I doubt I’ll be back.

I rrreally wanted to love this food, but have to say, the reviews don’t lie. I love this style of Italian food. I’ve worked in a restaurant serving this type of food. However, despite my glimmer of hope, nostalgia, and love for this food, something is amiss. The atmosphere is great, the service is great, the INGREDIENTS are great, but the end result does not do any of it justice. It came down to seasoning for me. Everything just felt too salty. It barely crosses the line, but it was enough to throw me. I do want to give it another chance, just trying one thing, rather than multiple items—i would try one thing and it would overpower the other, diminishing the intended taste.

One of my favorite places in Austin! Recommend mozz sticks for an app. Ceaser salad doesn’t come chopped but amazing flavor. Portions are big. Service impeccable. I’ve tried the Mafaldine, Lumache, and lasagna at different times. Delicious. The brown sugar gelato is a MUST!

Food was delicious. Loved the Calamari highly recommend. Garlic bread was great!. The lasagna can definitely feed 2 people. But it was delicious.

Sammie’s came highly recommended to me and they did not disappoint! I dropped in on a busy night but they seated me immediately anyway at the bar. The bartender/waiter was very attentive and took my order right away. The drink was good but the food was tremendous. I just had spaghetti and meatballs but it was wonderful! And afterward he brought me a digestif – just like they do in Europe!

Birthday dinner for me and was excited my husband finagled a reservation. We used to go to Huts all the time. I was happy to try the takeover.
