"From the locally famous MML Hospitality Group comes an NYC-inspired red sauce joint that’s currently one of Downtown Austin’s most sought-after see-and-be-seen restaurants. This vibey spot attracts content creators, spendy birthday parties, and trend-conscious dates. While these might be positive or negative traits depending on who you ask, a few unqualified perks of a meal at Sammie’s include the super strong martinis, the perfectly-textured jumbo mozzarella sticks, and the Sopranos-ish decor scheme (complete with white linen tablecloths). Sammie’s offers both indoor and outdoor seating (reservations are strongly encouraged), and takeout orders can be placed online." - Taylor Tobin
