Downtown Austin, Austin · restaurant
Old-school red sauce Italian, loud and retro, where the calamari comes out blistered and the Spaghetti with Meatballs tastes like it was made by someone’s grandmother. The room fills with group tables and birthday dinners, and Mildred’s Room in the back is a raised semi-private perch named after the original matriarch of the building. Stays open late with valet out front.
Wide rippled pasta with mushrooms and truffle — the most indulgent thing on the menu.
Wide-tube pasta with little neck clams, white wine and chili flake
Classic spaghetti with house-made meatballs in Sammie's signature red sauce.
Crispy golden rings, the most crowd-pleasing starter in the house
