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

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

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

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

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

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

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

We had the best lunch at The Sicilian Butcher! Everything from the atmosphere to the food was amazing. The flavors were fresh, authentic, and absolutely delicious. You can really tell they put thought into every detail. A special shoutout to our waiter, August, who made the experience even better. He was attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. He checked on us at the perfect times and made great recommendations. Service like that truly makes a difference! We'll definitely be back soon. Highly recommend for a fun, affordable lunch! 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

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

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

Service has a lot to be desired . We were greeted and told we have to eat at the bar and we are looking at an empty restaurant. there was maybe 2 tables being severed and 50 tables empty. So me and wife and my friend Ben Franklin left We went to another place near by and were sited at the chefs table. I want to thank your host for being the way he was and it made my Valentines day lunch so good. I hope your establishment makes it. 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. It was well past lunchtime though. Nice aesthetics. Lots of dessert options like pastries at the counter. I ate some mango gelato while I waited because why not. I ordered the lasagna. The wait wasn't long at all and it was good. I will definitely be back to try other items. 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

In town for a short work trip and this place was highly recommended for us, and it did not disappoint! We got the appetizer platter which was enough to feed all of us on its own! I ordered the lobster ravioli and it was the best I've ever had. The sauce had so much flavor without being too rich. Our server was very attentive despite being very busy. I enjoyed the whole experience, the decor, and definitely recommend anyone coming here if they want an authentic Italian meal. And the dessert platter that was brought out was phenomenal! read more

They have a board that can feed a family! It takes over the entire table! Looks super awesome when it comes out! The board is like a foot long with all kind of small bites to sample! I for sure will be back! They also have a small part of the restaurant that serves ice cream and small desserts. read more

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

What an incredible find. Autumn did an amazing job as our server and bartender. The food is indescribable. 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. The Chianti Riserva DOCG, from Tuscany was perfect. Now for the final course, the in-house made Tiramisu was out of this world. Had the final nightcap at the bar with Jay and Jordan. I may come back tomorrow to try more things. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

Gave this a place a try after seeing great reviews on Google...should've listened to the reviews here Honestly not really impressed at all given how pricey the food is Most main meals are $25+ each One of us had the carbonara pasta with meatballs and it did not taste great at all Calamari and shrimp tasted bland like it was from Costco Lasagna was not bad just okay Had a cannoli and cheesecake to see if dessert was any good...also not great do not recommend at all...maybe if it was half the price it would be decent option Try somewhere else read more

Food was EXCELLENT and just as good as I remembered! As an Arizona native, I was thrilled when I found out that Sicilian was coming to Dallas. From the bruschetta board - they have a unique variety and my favorite was the one with cherries. The 10 layer lasagna - hot, cheesy, great seasoning. Then... DESSERT! We enjoyed the Italian dessert platter which was worth it. Service - Made a reservation on open table and we got seated immediately! The service was excellent, we had a variety of workers and the managers come by to help with refills and plate clearing, very prompt. read more

Stopped by for a quick solo dinner. I expected more hustle and bustle but it was so quiet. It was also very clean! I was excited to dig in and knew what I wanted. Although I was sat immediately, it took about 10-15 mins for me to be acknowledged and order. I ordered the rigatoni vodka pasta, broccolini, and nonnas garlic bread. I was most excited to try the pasta, but it ended up being different than I remembered. The noodles were very gummy, the pasta wasn't as creamy and it was missing that spice that it had the first time I came. The broccolini was absolutely the star of the show. SO flavorful, so unique. The balsamic glaze, the Calabrian chilis, like everything about it was so good. The garlic bread was also phenomenal. Pricey but worth all $15. Overall I did enjoy my experience. I wish to have been cared for more by my server. It was so empty in there I was shocked at how long it took for him to come and check on me or take my order, etc. but hopefully this is a one off experience! read more

The Sicilian Butcher - Rigatoni vodka pasta, broccolini, nonnas garlic bread - Italian Near Me - Dallas, Texas

First time in this restaurant. The service was good. Floor manager was involved. Ambiance was very pleasant. You pick,your pasta and then sauce followed by a meatball selection which they are known for... the pasta was fresh and awesome. I had the gnocchi with Parmesan cream sauce. The gnocchi was light as little pillows. It was awesome. My wife had the rigatoni with vodka sauce and a steak meatball. She liked it and even mixed some of the Parmesan cream sauce in the vodka sauce. We also had the ricotta dip. It was average. We wished it was natural and not flavored. While this is not the most sophisticated fare spice wise, the food was flavorful and hearty. We will definitely be back. read more

Some food was good. Hot food was good But 145 pm weekday empty with 3 tables sitting. Almost 2 hours to order get eat and pay. Is unreal. Yes we asked where is our food.

Came here for the first time and was deciding between 2 or 3 stars. The place is cute and has charm. We had a free appetizer and got the spicy ricotta and it was good, not enough break for the amount of dip. I got a side Caesar salad and it was good. We each did the build your own pasta and both agreed it was meh and the meatballs were just okay. My spicy vodka sauce was pretty bland and minimal spice and the meatballs needed to be cooked longer. Our server John was pressuring dessert hard and would come visit inconsistent it took an hour to order entrees because he never came over and we were well done with our appetizer. I would maybe try again but not eager right now to come back. read more

Was underwhelmed the first time. Met a friend for lunch and we ordered the bruschetta and a salad for apps, then each had a build your own pasta. First the bruschetta is not bruschetta. This bread is not grilled, toasted or even warm. It is a big thick piece of bread, cold, with a dollop topping of whatever you choose. Just ugh. The chopped salad was good tho. The pastas were just ok. We ordered meatballs w the pasta however, and they were just so bland. Tasteless. And maybe slightly undercooked. But somehow also dry. And they came with no sauce. Just little bland dry meatballs. So we tried again for happy hour. The Parmesan fries were the only good bites we had. Ordered the 2 meatball app and again, the most bland tasteless things. And cold. Salt helped but still who wants cold meatballs? Then we tried the fried eggplant croquettes and so greasy and weird. It was like battered who knows what. Couldn't finish it. Service was good. Decor was nice. The food is the problem. read more
