We like the lively clean ambiance. Everyone is so friendly and focused on ensuring you enjoy your time. Our server, Nathan was excellent. There was a small hiccup with the bar and our entrees were slow arriving from the kitchen. He went above and beyond to make sure we were good. Definitely more than I expected. We started with the Nonna's Baked Eggplant. Very good and very filling!! For entrees we nad the prime NY Strip and the Risotto Alla Pescatore. Cookies and Tiramisu for dessert. Highly recommend the tiramisu. read more

I was really disappointed with my experience at the Sicilian Butcher, and unfortunately, the biggest issue was the receptionist, Mimi. From the moment we arrived, she came across as rude, dismissive, and unprofessional. Customer service is often the first impression guests have of a restaurant, and her attitude immediately made us feel unwelcome. What is even more concerning is that after reading other reviews, it seems this is not an isolated incident. Multiple customers have mentioned similar experiences with the same employee, yet nothing appears to have been done to address the issue. It gives the impression that management and corporate are either unaware of the problem or simply do not care about how customers are being treated. The restaurant may have good food, but service matters too. No customer should feel uncomfortable or disrespected when simply trying to dine out. I hope management takes these recurring complaints seriously and works to improve the experience for future guests. read more

The Good: The 10 layer Lasagna was excellent and the Build Your Own Pasta: Strazzopreti with Bolognese and Sausage Meatballs was very good. The Bad: Service was way too slow. Yes they were busy on a Saturday but that doesn't excuse a 33 minute wait from being seated until our initial cocktail arrived. The chopped salad had way too little dressing. Nearly tasteless.And the Lasagna while excellent was very small. read more

Whew! I really wanted to like this spot, I really did. But the food was very bland and the bartender reeked of cigarette smoke. The gelato from the dessert bar in the back was the best thing about the entire restaurant. I wasn't impressed by any of the dishes we tried except the calamari, it was amazing! read more

I wanted to love this place as someone who loves southern Italian food and grew up with it. There are some things to like for sure. Great ambiance, good cocktail and wine list. I ordered the pasta with vodka sauce and meatballs. Vodka sauce was pretty good, and the meatballs were moist and tender but almost flavorless. I took a few bites and didn't finish them because it seemed like maybe they forgot to season them. Presentation of all the dishes our party had was fantastic, however general sentiment about the food itself was "meh". I would go back for happy hour but not for dinner. read more

Ordered spaghetti al amatriciana. It was spaghetoni, much larger. Undercooked to my liking, too firm. Guanchali was more done than I like it. No salad, no bread included. Ordered a small side salad for $5. Ordered more sauce bc I like it wet. That was extra. I didn't finish the spaghettone and didn't want it to go. Got a gelato for dessert. Tasted good but there were unpleasant gummy bits in it that aren't supposed to be there. Server said they were from the dried edges. Service was otherwise good, pleasant atmosphere. Food is overpriced IMO. $25 for spaghetti, you gotta be kidding me. read more

Cute ambiance but missed the mark on execution. The pizzas and the pasta noodles were the only thing that were good. Everything else we got were mediocre. Avoid the risotto, clam spaghetti and vodka sauce. My husband got the truffle mushroom sauce and it was good but if you love your pasta sauce to be saucy this is a missed opportunity. Service was okay, good thing is no automatic gratuity read more

Absolutely loved our experience here! The Italian food was delicious from start to finish, and the service truly stood out thanks to our waiter, John. We kicked things off with the fritto misto -- a perfect mix of tempura shrimp, calamari, and fennel. Crispy, light, and SO good. I have a dairy allergy, and John was incredibly knowledgeable and thoughtful, making excellent recommendations and ensuring everything was accommodated without issue, which I really appreciated. For entrées, I had the chicken cacciatore, which was hearty, flavorful, and comforting in the best way. I also ordered gluten-free penne pasta on the side, which unfortunately was not very good and came out a bit mushy -- the only miss of the night. My friend ordered a custom pasta with vodka sauce, mafalde pasta, and chicken Parmesan meatballs -- it looked amazing and she loved it. Dessert was a whole experience on its own thanks to the in-house bakery. My friend sampled a few gelatos and creams, and chose espresso cream to fill her pistachio chocolate cannoli (an elite choice). I grabbed several tarallucci cookies to take home -- at only $1 each, it was impossible to resist. Fantastic food, attentive and accommodating service, and thoughtful details throughout. Huge shoutout to John for making the night even better. We'll definitely be back! read more

What a great visit. The staff was very welcoming and professional. We were able to order promptly and everything came out quickly. The frito misto was nice. It has shrimp, calamari, and fennel. Everything was perfectly cooked, though I did wish there was more seasoning. We will be back. The pork parmesan looked really legit as well as the pasta. read more

Very interesting italian place. They have variety of pasta sauces to choose from to go with you meatballs or pasta choices. I tried the frito misto which came with fried shrimp, calamari, and fried fennel. It was very lightly battered and delicious, well prepared. I appreciated the shrimp in this a lot. Happy hour prices are great. I look forward to coming back to try the pork parmigana. There is another Italian restaurant a block away that has this dish and its not available until 5pm, but at Sicilian Butcher you can order this all day. The mini canneloni was fresh and had just a hint of salt and chocolate, making it a wonderful well rounded bite. read more

Food Alert! I randomly went to The Sicilian Butcher on a Monday for dinner, and it did not disappoint! It's such a cute, cozy restaurant. Our waitress, Kasie, was so patient and provided great recommendations. She was very knowledgeable about the menu. I ordered the following: Dirty Martini w/ Ketel One Vodka - 4/5 BYO Craft Turkey Meatballs w/ vodka sauce - 4/5 Stuffed Zucchini Blossoms - 4/5 Fritto Misto - 3/5 Single Scoop Salted Caramel Gelato - 5/5 Overall, I really enjoyed the food and can't wait to go back and try more things. read more

Great first experience. The ambiance was trendy, easy to talk on and comfortable seating. The service was fantastic. Kasie was very friendly, explained the menu to us very clearly and guided us along the way. The food was very tasty. We had a shrimp and calamari appetizer and two BYO pasta with meatballs. My pasta had a little too much sauce formy like but it tasted wonderful. It would be great if they added some visuals on the menu to the different types of pasta so that we could know what each of them are (I ended up Googling them) Definitely coming back to try their desserts and pizza! read more

I had legitimately high hopes for this place and ordered the standard margarita pizza, two separate meat balls and the Panelle & Cazilli. The pizza looked great visually, but it was the sweetest and most unsettling taste I've ever had from a pizza. The dough was average and the cheese was decent but nothing special. My fiancé and I didn't even finish it, which is insane for pizza lovers to do. The meatballs were not anything special, the sauces used were not flavorful or in depth in any way. Think local pizza joint meatballs. The Panelle & Cazilli fritters were the worst thing in the order, they were floppy, soggy, and had literally no seasoning whatsoever. I'm honestly confused why they have it on the menu. Go to Pie Tap down the road or North Italia for higher quality dishes. The Sicilian Bakery is where it's at, everything looks amazing. Just avoid the restaurant itself. read more

Atmosphere: Nice decor. Good chairs. 1 Star Service: Warm greeting at the door. We sat at the bar area for happy hour. Out bartender/waiter was fantastic. Not like your typical, where they are so busy making drinks that they don't have chances to check on you and make sure you have refills. Gary was fully attentive. Gave us lots of attention and helped with recommendations. Also the manager came over to our table and chatted us up for a good 3-4 min as well as graciously fulfilling a couple of requests. Awesome service here. 2 Stars Food: We started with the Bottle and Board which was an $18 bargain. I was told the wine (Merlot) was good and the 3 slices of bruschetta were great. Three big slices, each of which we split 3 ways, with varying ingredients. 1. Caprese with tomatoes, basil, stracciatella cheese, and EVOO. 2. Pea Pesto with mint, stracciatella, fava beans, aleppo (chili flake), and lemon oil 3. Fig & Pear with the obvious as well as ricotta and agave. All 3 were quite good. We also ordered the Shrimp & Calamari which was decent but nothing special. Our first entree was the Butcher pizza with added pepperoni. Pretty good pizza. We also opted for two separate build YO pastas. First being rigatoni with vodka sauce and chicken parm meatballs. The second was strozzapreti (corkscrew) with bolognese and Uncle Arthur's sausage (pork, fennel, roasted peppers, provolone, parm, breadcrumbs). Both pastas were good. Cooked perfectly al dente and plenty of sauce. The chicken parm meatballs were a new take and were quite good. The other meatballs were just ok. Just somewhat bland to my palate. 1 Star Overall: Fantastic service and decent food. 4 stars. read more

Well we are not coming here again...You know it's bad when you start writing the review mid-meal right? We came here specifically because our daughter who is gluten free was really excited about getting to have gluten free pizza. We called to confirm. They said yes we have GF pizza and pasta! We put it in our reservation, we talked to the hostess, we spoke with our waitress...it wasn't until we asked, '"is the gluten free pizza made it the same oven?" that we realized they had no idea how to handle allergies. The pasta? Cooked in gluten water. When we asked the a manager if it could be boiled in safe fresh water, she got defensive and testy, but finally agreed. But when it came out? Inedible and not cooked enough to chew. So I write this with love for people with food allergies--this restaurant is not safe for those who have food allergies, nor are the forthcoming or caring in their response. And for those who are not gluten free, my Regular pizza was burned. Ew. read more

Everyone loved the food and service. My husband and I are already planning on when we're coming back! read more

Came here on a Saturday night for dinner, and it was quite busy. The only available seating they had open was on the patio, which worked out because the weather was amazing. Service was great and the waiter was attentive the whole time. I started off with a glass of the house white- nothing to complain about there. I also ordered the passion fruit gribaldi, which had a bit of a smoky flavor, so I wasn't a huge fan of it. For starters, I got the fritto misto, and it was perfectly battered and fried, with a generous amount of shrimp, calamari, and an onion. Even my kids really enjoyed this one! For my kids, I ordered a cheese pizza and chicken alfredo pasta, which they both seemed to enjoy. I ordered the Spaghetti Allo Scoglio, which was from their seasonal menu, and it was absolutely delicious! The spaghetti was cooked just right, so it had just the right amount of chew, and the sauce was light, yet flavorful, and had a good kick to it. There were also generous amounts of shrimp, clams, mussels, and calamari. To end the meal, we had some cannolis, which were, honestly, one of the best cannolis I've had. It had the perfect texture, and the cream inside was sweet but had a hint of saltiness to it. Very well made! I enjoyed this place so much that I came back the following day! This time, I tried their Marg Al Melone drink, which was FABULOUS. It was refreshing and had the perfect melon taste to it. I highly recommend this drink! I also tried the Pasta Fra Diavolo, which is also from their seasonal menu. It was very good, but sort of on the saltier side. Similar to the Spaghetti Allo Scoglio, they had generous portions of seafood in the dish. Overall, I really enjoyed everything I've tried here during my two visits, and will definitely be coming back here again to satiate my Italian food cravings! read more

I went here for a friends birthday dinner one Tuesday night. I liked the ambiance and decor inside. The host actually came out and opened the door for us as we were walking in which was a nice touch. We shared some apps, Nonnas' Garlic Bread $15.00 and the Arancini $16.00. I thought the bread was good flavor wise but the cheese did not stick to the bread and came off in clumps. The price is where this gets lost on me in terms of value for what you are getting. The arancini has peas in it which I was worried about but if it didn't say it then I would not have known they were in there taste wise. I thought these also tasted good but for the price not sure it is worth it. For my entree I got the Chicken Parmigiana $29.00 which was huge portion that I had it for dinner and lunch the next day. The taste was good but execution fell flat. The breading did not stick to the chicken and was not crispy at all, so soggy. I also got to try 1 Chicken Parmigiana Meatball and 1 Turkey Meatball. The chicken parmigiana meatball was the driest most bland garbage meatball I have ever had in my life. I have had freezer meatballs better than that one. The turkey meatball was fine but nothing special. Our server Angie did a fantastic job from start to finish. Unfortunately the food really disappointed combined with the expensive pricing for what you get this place is meh. I will note that there was literally like 2-3 other tables in the whole restaurant there during peak dinner hours so not sure this place will be around long anyway but I would not recommend it. Go across the street to Kenny's Italian or better yet go down a ways to Roman Cucina which is better in every way possible! read more

Tried Sicilian Butcher for the first time today. The place was super cute and beautifully designed. The server Angel was super friendly and highly knowledgeable about the menu. She provided some of her recommendations from the menu. I got their house red wine, fritto misto appetizer, and their basil pesto pasta with Parmesan chicken meat balls. Their pasta was truly amazing. However I was not a fan of their Parmesan chicken meat balls as much. Overall I will still recommend this restaurant due to their great pasta which according to the server is made in house and great service. read more

This is just for the cannoli bar side of the restaurant. I am a cannoli fiend and have been hoping for an experience that rivals the Boston pastry shops in DFW. The menu shows mini and large cannolis, both available in multi-packs, so I was hoping to get a mini multi-pack to try several flavors. And they offer this option as a dine-in experience via the "TASTE OF SICILY MINI CANNOLI FERRIS WHEEL." Unfortunately, when I walked in and tried to order different flavors of mini cannolis, I was informed that they were pre-made and I could only get plain or strawberry. If I wanted to try one of their many flavors, I would have to get a large one, which starts at $6. So I ordered 2 large ones, and asked for 1 in a shell with chocolate. That cost $1 extra, which is not indicated on the menu and the cashier did not advise this either. So my 2 cannolis came to $15 with tip which is pretty steep to me since I could've had the whole ferris wheel for $16. And they were just fine. I am sad that I couldn't try more flavors and the ones I had weren't super strong. Nutella was just vaguely hazelnutty and Pistachio didn't really taste like anything but sugar. The shells were also fine, nothing amazing but did hold up okay to biting. The gelato looked good and maybe their other flavors are better, but I won't be rushing to return, especially at that price point. read more

Hopefully, this new restaurant will be long lasting. I went in and ordered takeout. There were a few people seated at the patio, however, the inside was pretty vacant.

The wait wasn't long at all and it was good. I will definitely be back to try other items. read more

Been wanting to try this place. Very disappointed the food was not good very poorly executed. The caesar salad very dry dressing needs work. The spaghetti and clams were tasteless dry hardly any clam sauce. Asked for side of marinara waiter brings like maybe 1oz sauce tasted like ragu store bought. Had side of bread that they grilled on grill all dried out. The food was dreadful and person i was with said food is terrible. Not very well managed kitchen. Will not come back. You go get Italian food you tell waiter pasta is dry and they bring you a terrible tomato sauce! Than when bill comes they charged for a oz of sauce! read more

Nonna's Baked Cannelloni I would have to challenge any other restaurant in DFW to even come close. The Shrimp and Calamari that is sautéed is perfectly spicy.

We had such an incredible dining experience tonight at one of Chef Joey's Dallas locations. Truly top notch from start to finish! The service was outstanding, and the staff and management made us feel so welcomed. And the chef... absolutely nailed every single dish. We got to try a variety of appetizers and WOW, the NONNA'S BREAD with whipped garlic herb butter, grana, and EVOO was out of this world. The PANELLE & CAZZILLI were perfectly crispy and flavorful, and the BURRATA & HEIRLOOM TOMATO SALAD was fresh, vibrant, and beautifully balanced. The HOT SICILIAN PIZZA was a standout. The combo of salame picante, ricotta, and hot honey was unreal. And across the board, everything we ordered was amazing, the salads were fresh, the pastas were rich and perfectly cooked, the meatballs were packed with flavor, and the pizzas were perfection. Even the kids' chicken Alfredo was a hit! And then... dessert. The GIANT DESSERT BOARD is an absolute must! A stunning sampling of house made desserts that was just as delicious as it was impressive. If you're in Dallas, this place is a must visit. Can't wait to come back! read more

Italian American from NY here. I had high hopes when I saw the dessert menu having Sfogliatella. But that disappeared pretty fast. We got the garlic bread and calamari. Garlic bread was pretty good - very salty. Calamari was extremely salty and over cooked. I ordered the chicken parm and my husband got a pasta with meatballs. We went classic. The chicken parm had no breading, no seasoning, and molten hot sauce. My side was rigatoni in a vodka sauce and I got gummy penne. My husband's meatballs were clearly frozen and again absolutely no seasoning. I'm gonna be honest this worse than Olive Garden. With the absurd pricing I expect fresh food cooked when ordered. Not frozen food done by chef Mike. Service was so nice and professional. Absolutely no problem with her. She was GREAT. My only other gripe was how close the tables are. I felt like I was at the table with strangers. Cute decor, comfortable seats. Tables were too small. read more
