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.

    My friend and I met at culinary dropout for casual Thursday evening dinner. The food was super tasty, the service was excellent and we sat on the front patio outside so the music wasn’t too loud. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. I would highly recommend CD for this kind of outing.

    It was our anniversary and we were treated like royalty. There were rose petals scattered on the table, a signed anniversary card, and greetings by both hostesses and waiter. The food was delicious and beautifully presented as always. We especially appreciated the petite portions option.

    Steiner Ranch Steakhouse is our go to place when we travel to Austin. This most recent visit was for a quiet evening dinner with my husband after our daughter was married. The outside patio is amazing with the spectacular view of Lake Travis. The service was wonderful and the food was delicious as always. We shared how we were celebrating our daughter’s wedding and how she was engaged at their restaurant. To our surprise, they provided us with a delicious, complementary dessert. Love their hospitality! We will definitely be back!

    Natasha was a great server - made our experience really wonderful. Even when there are a lot of other diners, we never wait too long for drinks or food and the quality is always top notch. Love the salmon skin roll and trying new rolls the server recommends.
