About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for creative cocktails

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.

    Service was amazing. Don’t get many places that treat us amazing since we are young but the staff was outstanding. Will be coming back very often.

    The food was not as good as it has been in the past. The caesar salad which is normally quite good was lacking in flavor. My friend’s salmon did not look good at all. The pasta dishes were pretty good. The servers were very attentive. It was way too loud last evening.

    We sat at a high top table in the bar for happy hour. The prices were reasonable for the quality of the food and cocktails. The waiter was excellent! Great sense of humor, attentive and nice. Love the location and ambiance.

    Our server was very uninterested in taking care of us & it was noticeable right off the bat. We ordered some drinks, my sisters melon verde was quite bland then we decided on garganelli to start & the noodles were insanely hard with lack of flavor. Decided to tab out & go elsewhere.

    This place is amazing. They changed a few drink and menu items to keep it interesting and amazing. The food and Service is a 10 out of 10. The branzino is the best in AZ

    We had the Summer menu…so much food, but it was quite good. The only negative about the food was that the pasts and especially the steak was SO oversalted. The Caesar salad could’ve used a bit more dressing. Our waiter Jeffery was great, but we didn’t have people coming by to fill water,etc. it’s a great restaurant
