We did the "make your own pasta" although it wasn't called that, with picking your own meatball, pasta sauce and type of pasta. Ethan was our server and we had lots of questions and he answered a lot of questions we had about the sauces and he answered them well. I had the tony's steak meatball with the Parmesan cream sauce and gnocchi and it was to DIE for. I also would like to try basil pesto or vodka sauce but the cream sauce was so insanely good with the pillowy gnocchi that I just don't think I could bear to not get it every time. I definitely would try the sausage meatballs, which my husband got and they were good. The steak meatballs were good but I really like steak-- I think it needs to be your thing. Overall, this has become my new need to go place in north Fort Worth when we are here. I'm going to be dreaming about this place. read more

After all the hype on social media I was dying to try this place. My son and daughter in law went and loved it so we all went together for lunch. First thing we were told was that the Nonna's garlic bread was not available. Disappointing but we moved on. Ordered 2 of the Pentolino (Little Pot) meatball samplers. One with marinara one with bolognese. They weren't dry but they were all just okay. Mid at best. I also did not care for the bolognese. The Cibatta bread that came was also too charred for us. It had a strong charcoal taste that we didn't care for. They also no longer serve sliced steak. You can only get the meatballs. 4 of us ordered the Tony's steak meatball, truffle mushroom sauce with Gnocchi. We ordered it because that's what my son was raving about. I don't know what happened between visits but he took his bite first, made a face and apologized to us. Then I took a bite. First of all, the truffle flavor was waaaaay too much and tasted artificial (like commercially prepared truffle oil). But the biggest disappointment was the Gnocchi. I would bet a kidney that there was absolutely zero potato in that dense chewy "dumpling " whatsoever. It was hands down the worst Gnocchi I have ever eaten. It tasted and looked like folded over pappardelle with the consistency of super dense pasta. It was so bad my daughter in law asked for something different and I just didn't eat mine. Eventually she got the chicken parm meatball with spaghetti. We all tried a bite. Again, it was okay but I've tasted better at chain restaurants. And I'm Italian so that's saying something. I don't know if we got them on an off day or what but after spending over $200 for 4 people for lunch, none of us will be returning. read more

We've wanted to try this place for awhile but either a waiting list or other options made it not happen til now. We were seated immediately and we reviewed the menu. There are various options, including steaks, pastas, and create your own options. I opted for the lasagna ($26) and my wife had the build your own with a steak mix meatball and the flower-like pasta with a cream sauce. The food arrived about 3 minutes after we ordered, so it was amazingly fast. In short, the lasagna was good and was a large portion, but honestly it wasn't anything special. My wife's pasta was pretty good, but the meatballs seemed just slightly undercooked...almost soggy. Wish they had been browned a little more. Service was excellent and personable, so no complaints here...both from our server and the wait staff in the dessert area. Overall, I think the quality/price leave a little bit to be desired. The food isnt bad, but the pricea seem to suggest fine dining and a meal you'll remember, and this isn't that... read more

Another spectacular Sunday afternoon happy hour/meal here. Sat up the bar with outstanding service. Their happy hour at the bar is every day all day. My wife exclaimed that the Limoncello Spritz ($11) is the best drink she's ever had. Order the rigatoni pasta Trio ($12) with a couple of three dollar meatballs/sauces of your choosing on the side. Cheap amazing eats - easily a pound of fresh pasta. Be sure to order a meatball with the Cacio e pepe sauce. Save him for a freshly made cappuccino to sip with your toasted lobster tail filled with Nutella from the bakery-coffee bar inside the restaurant. And of course, be sure to order a cannoli or two for the road (lots of filling options). read more

My sister and I decided to surprise my wife with a retirement party at The Sicilian Butcher. I had been there previously for a Yelp Elite event and had been waiting to return. Hagen, our server during our dining experience, was cordial when he introduced himself. He inquired if we'd dined at the restaurant before and it we had any questions about the menu. I mentioned to him that I had attended a Yelp event previously at the restaurant. The decor of The Sicilian Butcher is beautifully appointed. The restaurant has a HUGE outdoor patio area with canvas that can be dropped down to close it in. It's great for banquets, etc. After looking over the menu, our table started out with some phenomenal appetizers. Fresh baked bread with garlic butter, a Ferris wheel of several different meatballs and bruschetta. We probably overdid it with the pre-lunch appetizers. I started wondering if we were going to have room for our lunch entrees. There was quite a variety of entrees ordered. I was sure there would be plenty of to-go boxes needed. I decided on the "Build Your Own Pasta" entree. I chose a Truffle mushroom sauce with creste de gallo pasta. My sister opted for the 'Fig & Pig' Ciabatta sandwich, my wife and brother-in-law, Chicken Parm with rigatoni, my nephew, Spaghetti with Vodka sauce, Lobster Bisque, side green salad. Wow Everyone LOVED all their entrees. Hagen took excellent care of us throughout our stay. One of the managers stopped by the table several times to ensure we were being taken care of. We were indeed. Thank you Hagen and "The Sicilian Butcher" for an awesome celebratory luncheon celebrating my wife's 50-year career in the accounting industry. read more

The restaurant itself is very nice. Great ambiance, nice patio. The service was good, nothing wrong with it but nothing special. We got the burrata and the garlic bread, they were ok. For dinner I had meatballs with spaghetti and vodka sauce. It was just ok. Could have eaten a better meal at Olive Garden considering what we spent. Won't be back. read more

Food: 3 out of 5 Service: 4.5 Ambiance: 5 The Sicilian Butcher was high on my list to try while in town. Sadly, the food fell short. They have a lovely menu with many options. I ordered the build your own craft meatballs. The Tony's Steak balls were lukewarm and lacked seasoning. The sauce was the Picchio Pacchiu and it was just "ok". The pasta was actually cool to the touch as were others in our party. The strozzapretti pasta was Ok - not the al dente I expected and again, cold. I would give them another shot on the chance that they were just having an off night. The ambiance is very contradictory with a casual vibe... while having upscale touches like the beautiful salt and pepper shakers on the table. read more

Really nice experience at The Sicilian Butcher. We arrived early to check out what they have to offer. The overall vibe is really fun and it's decorated in classic modern Italian decor. We sat at the bar at around 5:00pm - 6:30pm and it's a nice setting except it's where all the employees gather and talk it up before customers arrive. Was a bit annoying. The triple pasta was really good, so red sauce, parmesan cheese and pesto. The pasta was cooked al dente and it's enough for 2 people. We would order this again. The calamari looked great but was hard to chew, felt like I was eating rubber bands. I think it was overcooked. I don't usually order this at restaurants when it's just me eating this dish because the portions are so large and the husband does not like seafood however since the was on the happy hour menu and reasonably priced I gave it a try. Maybe it was bad timing...or left over from the day before, I don't know. We visited the dessert shop and it was fun with Gelato, personalized Cannoli's with cookies and pastries. This was 5 stars! We are definitely planning on coming back and will try other dishes and sit at the other end of the bar. Cheers! read more

Came in with high expectations for The Sicilian Butcher--and this time, they absolutely delivered. In one word: impressed. THE FOOD: This is where they shine. You can genuinely taste the freshness and care in every dish--and their specialty is that everything is made in-house, which in this day and age feels like a real treat. The chicken parmesan was a standout--tender, flavorful chicken with a light, crisp breading, topped with a bright, clearly house-made sauce. The lobster ravioli was excellent. The pasta was delicate, and the lobster filling was perfectly cooked, sweet, and fresh--easily one of the highlights of the meal. The Caesar salad was light and refreshing, not overloaded with dressing (which I appreciated). Bonus points for accommodating my request for extra anchovies. I do wish the dressing leaned a bit more into bold anchovy and garlic flavors, but still very enjoyable. The lasagna was another strong dish--rich and comforting with an authentic blend of pork, beef, and veal, layered with house-made pasta, sauce, and creamy cheese. The only miss for me was the clam spaghetti. While the ingredients were clearly fresh, it lacked the depth and richness you'd expect--more butter, wine, and clam-forward flavor would have really brought it together. THE SERVICE: Attentive, accommodating, and welcoming throughout the meal. Requests were handled easily, and the staff struck a great balance between being present and not overbearing. THE AMBIANCE: Lively, warm, and inviting. It has that energetic Italian dining feel without being overwhelming--great for both a casual night out or a more intentional dining experience. Bottom line: Fresh, house-made Italian dishes done right--with that rare, from-scratch approach that really sets them apart. Definitely a spot worth returning to. read more

It's located in the same area as the HEB so it can get a little congested with traffic in the parking lot during peak times. We sat at the bar due to the wait time. It's pretty nice in the inside with outside seating as well. Service was good and the food was solid as well. Tried a variety of items on the happy hour menu and tried one of the sangria pitchers. Overall, nice spot and look forward to going back to try some of the other options. read more

The food was great, I don't know why we made reservations, they had our table ready but we still sat for 10 minutes for no reason, guess they were a little slammed for Valentine's. Our waiter was amazing, he fixed our drink order, we didn't get charged but there was a mishap with our order twice. Anyways, we tried some of the specials, the lobster ravioli was soft and flavorful, the shrimp was also cooked perfectly. I also had some salmon, it was alright and cooked properly but wish they had some sides with it. Also had their Frittos? So basically a plate of fried seafood, but it was delicious. Ambiance was cozy but since it was Valentine's it was packed. Also they need to fix the small tables, ours and the couple next to us had it rocking, so each of us had to step on the legs to balance the table. Chris was our server or waiter, he's great and we left him a nice tip. He even took a pic of the gelato flavors for us. Definitely will come back when it's not that busy. read more

My wife and I had a great experience at The Sicilian Butcher. We ordered the Meatball Ferris Wheel, and it was every bit as fun as it sounds--the presentation alone is worth it. Each meatball was unique, packed with flavor, and clearly made with care. They also have a fantastic small bakery attached, and the cannolis were outstanding--an absolute must. Everything we saw coming out of the kitchen looked incredible, and it definitely left us wanting to come back and explore more of the menu. If you're looking for a unique and fun dining experience, do yourself a favor and order the Meatball Ferris Wheel. Highly recommended. read more

Had dinner here with my wife on Saturday night. She really wanted to try it. We had no rez but got a table in 20 minutes. We got a pretty lousy table for 2 on the edge of the bar. Kind of annoying, but it is what it is on a busy night. Overall ambience was nice. Our server was really nice but forgot to bring out a handful of things on time. Cocktail took 20 minutes. Salad took 20 minutes. I guess it was just a busy night. Not a big deal but it didn't help. The reason for the 2 stars is the food value. It is overpriced for what it is. The food is like the next step up from Olive Garden but it is priced like del friscos type of place. I had the veal picatta and my wife got ravioli. It was good. Wouldn't say great. The fried eggplant was good but pretty hard to screw that up. We got ceasar salad too which was ok. It was soggy because our server forgot about it and brought it out 20 minutes late. And the dressing is runny. Ended up with a $150 bill for what was slightly above average food. They got me once but won't be coming back. Overall this place feels like a restaurant that maybe used to be nice but was crappified by private equity (which is exactly what happened). Maybe at one time the food quality was high, but not anymore. Would not recommend. read more

We had a great first experience at The Sicilian Butcher. The food was delicious, our waiter was super friendly, and the ambiance was really nice.

We are looking forward to coming back with friends soon to try more of the menu! read more

Gave it a 3 because of how great it was before. Was one of my favorite restaurants. They completely changed the menu. So many great items gone. Quality wasn't the same either. Meatballs were so dry. Got hardly any sauce with them and they were very expensive. Not sure what happened. Most likely won't be back. read more

3 / 5 - food 5/5 - dessert 4/5 food service 5/5 - dessert service Brought my friends here for lunch. The lunch menu did not look appetizing. It offered salad and sandwich for $22-25. It was pretty dead inside. Only one other table occupied. I've had the pasta and cannolis here before at an event and thought they were great. So we had the pasta today. My pasta alla vodka sauce was disappointing. Very lacking of sauce and flavor, missing the shallots. I remember enjoying it before. The steak meatballs were not good. It was very dry and since the pasta sauce was lacking, it did not help. I can tell the pasta texture is good though. My friends' mushroom pasta and carbonara (a bit salty). were good. Although same, the meatballs not good. My friend pointed out no free bread. Which I guess I didn't notice till now. For our lunch being $75 + for JUST pasta and some meatballs.... It was very lack luster. We did come back for some cannolis during their happy hr which did not disappoint. We got a tiramisu and pistachio cannoli. They were very good! The tiramisu had strong coffee taste. The pistachio filling is lightly sweet. The lemon cookie was good. The mini cannolis were great and a good deal for the dessert happy hr. Would stop by just for the cannolis. But prob won't come back for the restaurant part. It was quite overpriced for what you get or don't get. The house made pastas are good but just not worth the cost. read more

A few things... I generally don't like to leave 1 star reviews because I understand this is someone's livelihood but I won't be back to Sicilian Butcher. I was setting up a to go order and noticed Carbonara wasn't an available choice; so I called to see if it was still on the menu. The hostess said it was and told me what the item was Rigatoni Alla Zozzana (which for the record ISN'T Carbonara) taking her for her word I ordered it. Upon walking into the restaurant there were several people trying to get the hostesses attention (who all seemed to be way more into their own conversation than doing their job). I asked where I could get to go orders and the girl with glasses simply pointed and returned to what clearly was a pressing discussion of not helping out patrons. Upon returning home, I see I did not receive Carbonara, the $14 Caesar salad is in no way worth the amount of money being charged for it. With that said, for the overall cost vs what you get... I just can't justify returning here. The lone bright spot was the girl who was helping with to go orders was kind and polite. read more

Attended a yelp event here but loved the food and restaurant as a whole! We've passed by so often but weren't quite sure what we'd get here. Attending a yelp even took that out of the equation! The food is beautifully made, aesthetic but also delicious. We had the cured meat and cheese plate, which had some delicious Sicilian olives and fig jam. Nonna's garlic bread that was absolutely a garlic bread lovers dream. So soft and savory, yummy. Italian saganaki which was flambeed tableside. The rigatoni alla vodka was our favorite with its balanced sauce and perfect noodles while the NY strip steak was prepared rare and to my husband's liking. Service was attentive and overall we'd come back again for the pasta and nonna's garlic bread. read more

Hands down the best food in DFW and I'm Italian everything made homemade fresh in house as well as the wine

I was seriously craving pasta and had been looking forward to trying this place for a while. The restaurant itself is beautiful. The ambiance, the vibe, the overall setup, everything feels inviting and well thought out. There is outdoor seating available, and we were seated promptly. Our server was incredibly sweet and even gave us a full rundown of the menu, which I appreciated. I started with the cured meats and cheese board. The presentation could have been elevated a bit, but overall the combination worked well. My only note is that there were only four cheese options to choose from, which felt somewhat limited. Regardless, really enjoyed it as a starter. For entrées, I was super excited to build my own pasta bowl. That was ultimately what drew me in. So we got a signature dish, the Rigatoni alla Zozzana, and this one was quite good. The pasta was cooked el dente, the flavors tasted fresh, and added shrimp which paired nicely. No complaints there. Now, onto the build-your-own selections. - Pappardelle with truffle mushroom sauce and breaded chicken: The breaded chicken was cooked perfectly and had great texture. Unfortunately, the sauce was overwhelming and far too liquidy. It lacked the creamy consistency you would expect from a truffle mushroom sauce and did not cling to the pasta properly. The balance was off, and I was unable to finish it. - Paccheri with basil pesto sauce and chicken parmigiana meatballs: The meatballs were excellent, great flavor, well seasoned, and beautifully presented. However, the dish suffered from two major issues. There was barely any sauce, which made the pasta feel dry, and the pasta itself was undercooked and noticeably cold. Texture matters in pasta, and this one missed the mark. - Gnocchi with vodka sauce and Uncle Arthur's sausage: The sausage was very flavorful and cooked well. The vodka sauce had the right amount of richness and was properly balanced in both quantity and taste. However, the gnocchi was severely overcooked, which completely changed the texture and made the dish fall flat. Overall, I left feeling disappointed. I went in with high expectations and was genuinely excited. The concept of building your own pasta bowl is appealing, but consistency is key. Some dishes had too much sauce, others had almost none. Some pasta was undercooked, others overcooked. It felt inconsistent and lacked execution. I skipped dessert as I wanted to try the Sicilian café next door, where I had an excellent experience and thoroughly enjoyed my espresso & gelatos. Unfortunately, the pasta side of the restaurant did not meet the same standard. read more

Delicious! Everything is made in house and sounds like a lot is imported. Our waiter was so helpful and obviously enjoys his job. He helped us decide in our selections and it was on par! The interior is cute, comfortable, and pleasant. There's also a cafe in the front with pastries and gelato. The pasta was cooked perfectly and the meatballs were cooked tenderly with lots of flavor. I love places that are scratch kitchen and do it so well! Left feeling satisfied and grabbed gelato on our way out read more

I ordered the Rigatoni alla Norma, calamari, and tiramisu and spent just over $63. Unfortunately, the meal was disappointing. The eggplant in the pasta was undercooked with large chunks, the sauce lacked flavor ( honestly Rao's is better ), and the calamari had an overly fishy taste. For the price, I expected a much better experience. The highlight of the meal was the tiramisu, it was absolutely delicious and the reason I'm giving two stars. I'd come back for dessert and might give another dish a try in the future, but this visit fell well short of my expectations especially given the price. read more

My husband is born and raised in italia and so he is a pasta snob. We rarely eat out at Italian restaurants because they just aren't as good as he can make it. Well someone told him about this new place in north Fort Worth so we decided to give it a try for his birthday. Best decision of the year so far. Everything from the apps to the entrees to the desserts were exceptional. We ate like kings. And let me tell you that you know an Italian restaurant is legit if the chef comes out to talk to you. Chef Omar is amazing and we could not recommend this place more. It is so good that we went back for a Mother's Day dinner with all the kids and grands and everyone was happy as clams. This will be our "special night out" dinner place going forward. It's 50 minutes from us but worth every minute in traffic. All I can say is just go, you'll thank me later! read more
