Inspired by the rich culinary history of the Bue Grasso (fat ox) Festival of Carrù Italy, Fat Ox serves modern interpretations of traditional Italian dishes from acclaimed local Chef /owner Matt Carter.

The sleek 7,000 sq/ft restaurant features hand made pastas crafted in house daily, slow-roasted meats and seafood, an international wine list and a full craft cocktail bar to make for a truly special experience.

The newly renovated front patio and our beautiful courtyard patio are the perfect place to enjoy the fall weather.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Matt Carter

From the OpenTable editors: Award-winning chef Matt Carter of The Mission digs into rustic Italian cuisine at the deeply satisfying Fat Ox. The modern dining room spans a hefty 7,000 square feet, kitted out in saddle leather and dark woods. Feast on fresh pasta and roasted meats, including a 25-layer lasagna and 40-ounce porterhouse. The family-style menu is fun for a crew, rolling out four courses from antipasti to dolce.

    We live in the neighbor and have been to this restaurant many years ago. We thought we’d try it again. But after this dinner …not so much…We had an appetizer (charcuterie board)…it was ok. Our caesar salad was too salty…my chicken dinner was meh and my husband’s $42 salmon dinner was a small piece of fish (nothing else)…and salty too. We can not recommend…

    My favorite restaurant in Scottsdale. I’m a pasta lover… but real, proper, authentic. Fat Ox is the BEST for this (love the rest of the menu too) but the pasta is out of this world

    The food was good but not great. The quantity of the food was certainly not worth the price. The entire table agreed that the best item was the complimentary bread and butter before the meal. Honestly it was amazing bread and I’ll definitely go back for the bread and a drink. The service was good but the management and server somehow missed the memo that we were celebrating a big birthday for a friend who flew in from NY. That was disappointing.

    Met some friends for dinner. We enjoyed a cocktail at the Bar before we were seated. The service was excellent. Once seated our server Evan was amazing. He was very knowledgeable of the menu and was attentive. The food was really great. I had the Shortrib with a side of Polenta. Absolutely delicious. They had an extensive Wine list with some of our favorite Italian wines. We're definitely returning and requesting him as our server.
