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 dined this evening at the Fat Ox after hearing good things, so we had high expectations. When we arrived the service was quick and attentive and we were seated right away. At this point our server Brandt greeted us and walked us through the menu, providing very helpful recommendations. He took a lot of time and was clearly very passionate about the food and the restaurant. I won’t highlight everything we had, but Brandt was absolutely spot on with his suggestions. Our group agreed that it was one of the best meals we have ever had. The chicken was absolutely incredible. The food was perfect, the service was amazing and it absolutely resulted in a memorable night with my family. I cannot recommend the Fat Ox enough, and if you’re lucky enough to get Brandt as your server, you will have an incredible night. He made the night extremely special. Go to the Fat Ox. You will not regret it.

    10/10 would recommend again! Our server Krissi was extremely knowledgeable and had multiple amazing recommendations. We had a little idea of what we wanted and she solidified that by giving us positive affirmation with our choices. We got the prosciutto, which was apparently on a 4 year waitlist, and it was well worth the wait! The seasonal homemade gnocchi was phenomenal and the beef literally melted in your mouth. My girlfriend got the scallops that were cooked to perfection paired will a delicious sauce. I received the rib eye and I was ravaging it down to the bone. We finished with the chocolate bombe and even though we were stuffed from dinner, we couldn’t put down the spoon when eating dessert. We celebrated our two year anniversary and they brought a glass on Prosecco to cheers.

    We really enjoyed the restaurant. Our server was very knowledgeable and did a great job explaining and sharing ideas on dishes. The food was very good, but overpriced. The tartar was tasty but the endive took away from the dish. The octopus was very good. We enjoyed the whole chicken, the sauces were great, the onions didn’t fit the dish though.

    Great food, great service. Inside it's a bit noisy, but we ate on the porch. We'll be back.

    As each dish was brought out, it was better than the last. I don’t know how! It was a wonderful meal. Our server was as excellent as the food.

    Didn’t have standard seating like we reserved so they put us at a high top table after not seating us for 25 mins, first two courses were good but last two were bad, we waited an hour in between 2nd and 3rd course for a room temp steak that got pretty much cold after 2-3 bites. They understood and comped the meal but was a 3 hour dinner for no reason and I left still hungry
