"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
"Sammie’s feels like it was snatched out of a film about the Italian mafia set in some city with long alleys. Where comforting bowls of handmade pasta and warm, dimly lit interiors are more features of necessity than design. Come to Sammie’s when you want some of the best lasagna you’ve probably ever had, and an order of chicken parmigiana bigger than your head. And if you didn’t make a reservation weeks ago, stop in and try to grab a seat at the bar, where you’ll be able to chew your pasta in sync to a cocktail shaker soundtrack and a display of red suit jackets." - nicolai mccrary
"This Jersey-proud red sauce joint from vibe-conscious hospitality group McGuire Moorman Lambert offers Italian-American classics in an upscale atmosphere downtown. Look for dishes like chicken Parmigiana, spaghetti and meatballs from the chef’s family recipe, and smothered pork chops with maitake mushrooms and a marsala brandy cream sauce. Dine on white tablecloths indoors, enjoy a meal al fresco, or order takeout online." - Erin Russell

"Sammie’s feels like it was snatched out of a film about the Italian mafia set in some city with long alleys. When you want a warm ambiance and comforting bowls of handmade pasta—and are willing to spend a pretty penny to get it—Sammie’s is difficult to beat. If you really want to mimic the Red Ash experience, there are also a handful of steaks and chops, including a 36-ounce bistecca alla Fiorentina that will easily feed two (plus a bone for your dog back home).
