Fat Ox

Scottsdale
Italian Restaurant
$$$$

Scottsdale’s Fat Ox is, quite aptly, named for the long-standing cattle showcase and food festival in Piedmont, Italy. The Italian restaurant’s menu highlights homemade pastas (try the exquisitely prepared casoncelli served with butternut squash, sage, amaretti, Parmesan, and pomegranate), roasted seafood and chicken, and slow-roasted steak. The 40oz porterhouse might just be large enough to fill the bellies of all 350 people who can be seated in the cavernous dining room, their satiated faces lit by crystal chandeliers reminiscent of elegant disco balls.

Featured In

Fat Ox’s elegant and contemporary setting matches the modern and sophisticated approach to Italian cuisine. It is definitely worthy of a special evening but the atmosphere is welcoming enough for a casual night out. And, quite frankly, whenever you can get chef Matt Carter’s handmade pasta, you should. New bar director, Christiaan Röllich, is using his years of top-tier libation creation to redesign the cocktail menu. The new drinks are impeccable, light, and easy to savor; make sure to try The Bartender’s Handshake for a fernet cocktail you will devour. Besides the expertly made pasta dishes—which you absolutely cannot miss—meats are fired to perfection, including the Pluma Iberico de Bellota, the best piece of pork you’ll ever have.
