    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.

    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!

    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!!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    It had been a while since my last visit to this location, so making a reservation was a smart move--the place was absolutely packed! Thanks to our booking, we were seated right away. Our server was wonderful, staying attentive and friendly throughout the entire meal. We started off with some house bread and the eggplant parmigiana. I was craving lasagna, so I had to order it: 10 layers perfectly stacked and baked to perfection. The pasta sheets were cooked just right with a great texture, and the meat sauce was truly delicious!

    I made reservations to celebrate finding out our 2nd baby's gender (5 months pregnant) with my daughter, husband, in laws and mother. Upon arrival we were greeted and seated within 5 minutes. Our waitress Anna got our drinks and food and asked the reason for our visit. Congratulated us and continued proving great service. Even though the prices were high, the food was delicious! The music was a bit loud to have direct conversation with our group. At the end, Anna brought us a cannoli to congratulate us for our gender reveal, this definitely made the night special!

    The food was amazing. Wife did the "you be the chef" and I had the chicken w/ prosciutto and white wine reduction was also amazing. Highly reccomend! !

    Ask the Community - The Sicilian Butcher

    For a Friday night at 8 how busy does it get and how long is a wait usually?

    It gets pretty busy. Wait times vary but I would recommend making a reservation.

    Do they give a free dessert for your Birthday?

    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.

    When is Happy hour?

    When the food arrives...

    Do you allow small dogs in the out door seating?

    Hi there! Yes, we do have a dog-friendly patio.

    Do they have happy hour? What kind of specials do you have?

    Hi there! We have happy hour all day everyday in the happy hour bar area!

    Do they take reservations?

    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?

    Unfortunately they only take reservations for 10+ people. They are really strict on this policy.… 

    Are there vegan options?

    They had eggplant meatballs, vegetarian maybe, vegan not so much.

    Do you have gluten free food?

    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.

    Can meatballs be made gluten free & dairy free?

    Yes

    Will your Caponata ever be available to ship?

Whoever built this sandwich decided fat was a liability, trimmed the brisket down to something you'd find in a hospital cafeteria, and then served it anyway. What arrived was a stack of lean, gray-edged slices with no give and no moisture whatsoever. You could hear it more than taste it. Chewing produced no juice, no render, nothing. It just sat there getting smaller. I am not exaggerating when I say you would need a glass of water on the table to dunk it in, and even then I'm not confident it would go down. Then the rye. Somebody griddled it in butter, which coats the crumb in dairy and flattens the caraway into nothing. Rye for pastrami gets a light toast at most, and that's if it needs anything at all. Butter turns it into a grilled cheese chassis with the cheese removed. On a pastrami sandwich it's a category error. My people spent two thousand years perfecting this sandwich. Somebody in that kitchen reverse-engineered it back into jerky on a sponge. There are delis in New York that would treat this as a personal provocation. I've eaten the correct version of this sandwich. It comes carved by hand, on untoasted rye, with enough fat to shorten a life. That's the deal. You give up a few years and you get something worth eating. What this place serves takes the years and gives nothing back. Two dollars less and it's a bad lunch. At this price it's contempt. The coleslaw does not save it. One star, and that's for the plate.

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.

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.
