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.

    Wonderful food, well presented, tasty and exquisite without being excessive. The staff are attentive and helpful. The restaurant is beautiful, airy and welcoming. My only criticism is the presence of a few tv screens over the bar. Overall highly recommended

    Food was good but not amazing for the price ($220 for 3 people). It was loud to the extent that we had trouble having a conversation. Server was Scottsdale snobby, gave us the ick. Probably wouldn’t go back.

    Our total experience was awesome. I usually do not do reviews but Fat Ox really surprised us. We were seated outside which was much quieter than inside but the ambiance was perfect along with the food and service. One of the best dining experience we have had. Great job Fat Ox!!!
