Downtown Austin Italian Restaurants Sammie’s and Favorite Pizza Open This Spring - Eater Austin
"Sammie’s is meant to feel like an East Coast red sauce restaurant with full-service. The menu spans dishes such as clams casino, chicken and eggplant parmigiana, whole lobsters with garlic-lemon butter, dry-aged bistecca alla fiorentina, and an array of pasta from spaghetti and meatballs to cheese ravioli. The wine and beer lists lean Italian — there’s a house Chianti — and the cocktail menu includes sections dedicated to martinis and aperitivi. Desserts include cheesecake, tiramisu, cannolis, and a Neapolitan gelato sundae, alongside espresso martinis, frozen limoncello, and espresso." - Nadia Chaudhury
