The menu offers classic dishes in a casual but sophisticated, retro-designed space that is both lively and comfortable, capturing the essence of a night out at your favorite neighborhood joint. The space consists of a central dining room overlooking Shoal Creek and 6th Street, polished wood bar, Mildred’s Room (a private dining/wine room), and wraparound patio dining area. Please note that patio seating is weather contingent. The menu offers riffs on standards including Housemade Mozzarella Sticks, Clams Casino, and Caesar Salad a la Tommy; timeless pastas like Spaghetti with Meatballs, and Linguine Vongole; and Sammie’s Classics: big portions of iconic plates like Chicken and Eggplant Parmigiana, Veal Marsala, and Baked Manicotti.

Wonderful atmosphere. Served nailed our service expectations and was not pushy which was a nice change. Loud and energetic inside but could still have a conversation. Food was very good!

Terrific food, wine, service and ambience. We went full Italian over steaks. Refreshing Redfish crudo and crispy squash blossoms w delicious ricotta filling were great starters. The frutti di mare and osso bucco are highly recommended entrees. Generous servings of the best Italian cuisine in ATX. Wine selections were excellent and reasonably priced. Bravo!
