Caesar salad 5/5
Noah T.

I hear this place specializes in pasta, unfortunately, I could not have some today, but I did have their Caesar salad with a side of chicken. The dressing was perfectly made croutons wonderful taste, and crunch, and the lettuce was crisp. The grilled chicken was done to perfection super juicy. This is a cool spot with indoor outdoor seating. I sat at the bar since I was having a solo lunch and the bartender Ryan really made my experience that much better. Definitely coming back here but next time I'm definitely gonna have the pasta.

We stopped in for a Friday lunch date and it was a great time! Our waitress was so friendly and personable, we really enjoyed her company :) The garlic bread was amazing, that whipped butter was so flavorful! My hubby felt basic but the tomaso's meatballs and marinara are always great! I really enjoyed the tonorelli. I loved the sweetness the fried zucchini added some sweetness to cut through the richness of the cream sauce. I would recommend to add them on top to maintain the fry and add texture. Atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable! We aren't always on this side of town but we know we have a good sit down option if needed when we are and want Italian

Visited for dinner with my spouse and toddler and were pleasantly greeted by the team. The menu is hearty and diverse, with a range of price points suitable for a casual setting. I opted for the strawberry soda and loved it - had two! For our appetizer, we got the flambed cheese which was quite the experience (and a great appetizer to get us started). For dinner, I went with the lasagna which was such a healthy portion it ended up being two meals.

This restaurant was recommended by friends so I tried it for lunch. I had been told that it was a very popular Italian eatery so I was surprised to find it almost empty for my visit. It has a large and nice outside patio area along with an attractive interior. I ordered the 3 meat Fazzoletti meal for $29. I asked the waiter if it came with any bread and he said he would take care of that for me. He also asked if I wanted some olive oil and vinegar for dipping and I said sure. The meal arrived within 15 minutes with a plate of several toasted bread slices and a plate of oil and vinegar. The ragu meat was covered in a white cream sauce of mozzarella, ricotta and Parmesan. I stated with the cream sauce and was surprised to find it was at room temperature! I called over the waiter and he took it back and a new plate of that entree arrived in about 5 more minutes with an apology from the kitchen. While waiting I enjoyed the bread, oil and vinegar but wondered why did they bring me so much bread? The Fazzoletti was now hot and tasted very good. I enjoyed it with its rich flavor and made with quality ingredients. I can see why The Sicilian Butcher is popular here in Phoenix. When the bill arrived I noticed a $4 charge for the bread and another $1 for the oil and vinegar. I paid it but told the waiter that he should have told me that it would cost extra. Minus 1 star.

I've only been here a couple of times, but I've really enjoyed it both times! I especially love coming here for happy hour because they have a good variety of food and drinks to choose from. Everything I've tried has been really good, and I love the atmosphere, it's fun and lively without being too much.

Sicilian Baker next door has a mini cannoli and gelato for $5 this week! Staff was a little confused at first but otherwise honored the deal we saw on Instagram. The mini cannolis were great and the shell was very crispy! The pastas were great and very flavorful and fragrant. I really enjoyed truffle mushroom creste de gallo pasta! It did have a lot of umami. I went with a friend who said he was going to cry at how tasty it was lol. The 2 for $22 on Tuesday's deal is really great. The restaurant was nicely lit with some prosciutto hanging on the side and the pasta came out decently quick also!

Two sides of polenta and two meatballs
Sue H.

This is my second visit for happy hour at the bar, so this review is overdue! Good experiences both of them. The first visit I sat outside in the shade for an early happy hour, missing the peak sun hitting the bar directly. This time I sat inside because at 6:00 p.m. the evening Sun was baking the two parties outside under the misters. There was plentiful happy hour seating remaining at the bar and the high tops, but only for a few minutes and the inside bar filled up. I studied the menu and sipped a house red wine while waiting for my friend to arrive. The house red had a rich flavor and was bargain priced at $6 for happy hour. I see from my receipt that it was a Merlot. It was tasty I had two. Smiles. From the happy hour menu, I selected the burrata cheese and heirloom tomatoes appetizer nipple while I waited. This was the perfect portion for one person and a creamy spectacular burrata with a little pesto underneath. The tomatoes were a nice variety of colors sizes and textures, some riper than others but all delicious. There were enough tomatoes to save my friend a few pieces to try when she arrived. Both of the bartenders on duty were outgoing and extremely knowledgeable about the menu. These are well-trained, experienced employees. Friend arrived and asked several questions about the mocktail ingredients. She chose one that was bright pink and a little bitter, yum! Bartender Jarrell looks just like her son, they even took a picture together to send him. I asked many menu and preparation method questions, and arrived on ordering a small $4 side of polenta and a single meatball with sauce. Again, I really appreciate these tiny portions being available so I can sample many things! I ordered the steak meatball with mushroom cream sauce. It was unbelievably tender, and the mushrooms were big meaty generous pieces. I loved this dish and will order it again. In fact my friend ordered the same combo with the pesto. We also considered the risotto side, although it's more pricey. It was a lovely evening, we visited for a long time and never felt rushed to leave the bar. I will say the only drawback was once I quit ordering wine, it was hard to get my water refilled. I'm going to keep the Sicilian Butcher in my regular rotation, especially since they offer a couple of gluten friendly sides in a small reasonably priced portions. Thank you Chef Joey, you have hit another one out of the ballpark!

Fresh, homemade Italian food!! Great menu with a lot of variety. Lots of appetizers and love the portion of the menu where you can pick your meatball type, pasta and sauce!! Newly added pizzas. Great, friendly staff!!

Cammi P.

The Sicilian Butcher used to be a staple for my family years ago and we decided to go back, especially now that they take reservations and the restaurant is known to get packed. I love being able to build your own pasta, with various choices of meatballs that accommodate many different preferences and diets. The Sicilian Butcher provides a nice meal and ensures everyone leaves happy and content. The restaurant gives a nice Italian feel and the desserts (while not had at this particular meal) are always delicious. Especially the cannolis! The lasagna was good and the sauce was tasty. It is an easy meal and an nice restaurant to go to every once in awhile!

Haven't been to this location in a few. Made a reservation which was a good idea since the restaurant was packed. Was able to get seated right away. Our server was very nice and attentive throughout the entire meal. Started with some house bread and the eggplant parmigiana. Was craving some lasagna so had to try it here. 10 layers nicely stacked and baked to perfection. The pasta sheets were firm but not over cooked and the meat sauce was really delicious.

Meatball Ferris wheel - eggplant was my fave
Anvita S.

Favorite meal in Scottsdale! The meatball app is so fun to order, and don't miss the make your own cannoli for dessert. Great service too!

Garlic bread
Julie D.

Wisely we made a last minute reservation here ahead of time. At 5:45 on a Friday, this place was packed! The dining room was moderately loud. The garlic bread app we ordered was very good, ample herbed garlic butter, enough for 4 people to share. Three of us ordered the BYO pasta which was a good choice. My tagliatelle with vodka sauce had good flavor, but some of the noodles were stuck together in a clump on the bottom of the dish with no sauce on them, clearly not tossed with the sauce well before plating. The Sicilian meatballs had a good texture and taste. The truffle mushroom cream pasta with chicken meatballs was a little disappointing. The noodles were cooked well and the sauce was rich and evenly balanced, yet the mushrooms tasted like they were canned rather than fresh. The chicken meatballs were also not satisfying as they were dry and flavorless. The paparadelle pasta with meatballs and bolognese was delicious, nice tomato sauce with meat, and sausage and steak meatballs that were cooked well with good flavor. Good service. Overall a good meal, may or may not return based on this experience.

Amalfi Gold Pasta Dish
Sami M.

Overall, it was a good sit down dining experience. The food is tasty with interesting and well done flavor combinations. Our waiter was very accommodating and kind. The parking was easy to find for us. Something to anticipate is that the food and drinks can be a bit pricey in a group but enjoyable!

Yes!!

Does the restaurant offer brunch? No menu listed on their website...?

There is a menu. They do have a brunch

Is the pasta made in house? Is it fresh pasta?

The pasta is made fresh and in house.

This came up when I searched keto but it looks like all the meatballs are made with breadcrumbs. Is that true and do you offer spiralized veggies in place of pasta? Otherwise, looks like it's limited to just a couple salads.

Hi there, Our meatballs do contain breadcrumbs and we do not have spiraled veggies to offer instead of pasta.

Only for large parties of 10 or more.

Do you have a kids menu?

We've never seen one.

Will you be open Christmas Eve?

Yes, open on Christmas Eve. Closed Christmas Day

Did they change their happy hour policy? I thought in February it was happy hour all day at the high tops or the bar and now I see online that it says happy hour 11 to 6 daily in the bar only. When did that change?

Yes, they did change the hours for their happy hour, and the change occurred recently--as in a couple of months ago at most.

Do they take reservations?

No, they don't unless you have a party of 10 or more.

Can I make an outdoor reservation for 5 on Saturday nite?

Yes, there are many gluten free options. Gluten free pasta is available as well, along with polenta and risotto.

Any gluten free options?

Yes. Gluten free pasta

On a Tuesday when does it start getting busy? We want to get there before then

Ive been there on Tuesday and other weeknights around this time. Seems pretty typical, dining room is usually at pace about 6, 630/7 for the bar where they offer happy hour menu all day.

I'm a pretty picky eater and only allow myself one cheat meal a week, so choosing where to spend it is a serious decision. MELT happened to be open, and Chloe convinced me to give the chicken a shot. I'm glad I listened because it was genuinely really good! My only suggestion would be swapping the canola oil for olive oil, but other than that, no complaints. Now, the REAL winner was the chocolate chip cookie. Absolutely insane. Perfectly cooked, super chocolatey, and easily the highlight of the meal. I personally would've liked a little more dough, but that's just me. My only complaint? $5 for ONE cookie is a little wild when McDonald's will give you practically ten for the same price. The ice cream was just alright, nothing I'd go out of my way for. But here's what really earned this place five stars: Chloe. As the chef manager, she delivered some of the best customer service I've experienced in a while. Genuine personality, incredible charisma, and absolutely none of that forced, fake customer service energy. I asked a ridiculous number of questions, and she never once seemed annoyed or impatient. She actually took the time to help me figure out what I'd enjoy. You can have great food anywhere, but it's the people who make you want to come back. Chloe absolutely nailed that. I'll definitely be returning to try some different menu items, and she's a huge reason why. Give that woman a raise!

I first heard about this place from a friend who lives in Tucson but didn't give much thought to it until I actually saw the restaurant a few months ago while I was at another store in the shopping center. After multiple visits, I can conclude that I enjoy more of their cold sandwiches than their grilled/hot ones. My top three picks in no particular order would be the Baggin's club, high Baggin's, and the chicken rojo. All are different in their own way, but what they do have in common is that they are jam packed with ingredients and bursting in flavor. I haven't tried all their soups and sides yet but from what I've tried so far, I would say the tomato basil bisque has been my favorite. It accompanies well with many sandwiches I've had. The only thing I didn't care for much from here were any of the sandwiches with chicken. Their chicken was a bit too dry for my preferences. So far, I've yet to have a bad experience here. The staff are always warm, friendly, and patient. They try to get your orders out in a timely manner, but they do get busy at times. I usually take my food to go but they have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating options if you want to dine in.
