Sammie's

Came here for our anniversary in November (late review), and it was incredible. The hostess greeted us right away and was very friendly. We loved the ambiance, and the small details really stood out—like the cute card on our table that said “Happy Anniversary.” It truly is the little things that make all the difference. The service was okay—not the very best we’ve had, but definitely not the worst either. Overall, it was a lovely experience, and we would absolutely come back again.

My boyfriend and I had a romantic dinner at Sammie’s, and it was one of the highlights of our trip to Austin. The restaurant is beautiful and full of charm. Make sure to book a reservation — it gets very busy — but it’s absolutely worth it. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere made our evening feel truly special. We had an amazing time and would gladly come back on our next visit to Austin!

We had a great dinner at Sammie’s tonight. Our waitress was absolutely fantastic. A bee flew onto one of our guests and she helped escort him off, so sweet! The food was also delicious. Our favorites were the Caesar salad and the mafaldine. The toffee cake was absolutely a highlight as well. I would definitely recommend this to others for a date or girls night!

Everything was so good! We tried Caesar salad as suggested by most customers. That’s very flavorful. Also tried calamari, clams linguine, classic raviolis. All above expectations. And the portion is bigger than we thought… Shared a piece of tiramisu- the texture was on the runny side that stands out from other Italian restaurant. I liked it too. Will definitely bring family and friends to visit again!

SAMMIE’S! Very authentic, rare, Italian experience. Coming from a grandfather and family from the “boot”, IYKYK, this is your dinner place. Dark ambiance. Pictures are hung everywhere. Large dishes to share. We were luckily able to score reservations last minute on a Sunday. We were a hungry group of four girlfriends. We tried the calamari, the shrimp francese, caesar salad, chicken vodka parmesan, clams and linguine, cacio e pepe, and red snapper. We ate like queens, the cocktails were excellent. Great service. Highly recommend for authentic Italian in Austin.

Sammie’s feels like stepping into a classic, old-school Italian supper club in the best way. The pasta is rich and perfectly executed, the seafood is fresh, and the martinis just hit different here. The dim lighting and retro vibe make it ideal for a date night or celebratory dinner. Service is polished and attentive, which elevates the whole experience. It’s indulgent, a little glam, and absolutely worth it. Keep in mind it’s very noisy here

We had such an amazing experience at Sammies. From the moment we walked in, everything was perfect. We started with the shrimp and calamari as appetizers both were incredibly fresh, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor. You could really taste the quality. For the main course, we had the truffle pasta and it was absolutely phenomenal. Creamy, rich, and beautifully balanced — easily one of the best pasta dishes we’ve had. Everything was spot on, from the food to the atmosphere. And a special thank you to our server Olcay and Hakan they were attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience even better. Thank you for such a wonderful evening. We’ll definitely be coming back!

We've been to Sammie's multiple times since moving to the Austin area 10 years ago. We keep coming back, so that should tell you all you need to know. Such a cozy atmosphere with immaculate vibes. Food is absolutely delicious. Elevated but not fussy. Service is always impeccable. I dream of the Malfadine. Best Caesar Salad in town. I still can't quite figure out the secret, but there's something magical happening.
