Inspired by the rich culinary history of the Bue Grasso (fat ox) Festival of Carrù Italy, Fat Ox serves modern interpretations of traditional Italian dishes from acclaimed local Chef /owner Matt Carter.

The sleek 7,000 sq/ft restaurant features hand made pastas crafted in house daily, slow-roasted meats and seafood, an international wine list and a full craft cocktail bar to make for a truly special experience.

The newly renovated front patio and our beautiful courtyard patio are the perfect place to enjoy the fall weather.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Matt Carter

From the OpenTable editors: Award-winning chef Matt Carter of The Mission digs into rustic Italian cuisine at the deeply satisfying Fat Ox. The modern dining room spans a hefty 7,000 square feet, kitted out in saddle leather and dark woods. Feast on fresh pasta and roasted meats, including a 25-layer lasagna and 40-ounce porterhouse. The family-style menu is fun for a crew, rolling out four courses from antipasti to dolce.

    Met some friends for dinner. We enjoyed a cocktail at the Bar before we were seated. The service was excellent. Once seated our server Evan was amazing. He was very knowledgeable of the menu and was attentive. The food was really great. I had the Shortrib with a side of Polenta. Absolutely delicious. They had an extensive Wine list with some of our favorite Italian wines. We're definitely returning and requesting him as our server.

    I had the 25 layer lasagna, it was the worst food I have ever eaten. The flavoring was all wrong and the menu description was misleading. The broccolini was charred which was said in the menu, but it was the flavor that was absolutely awful. We had a starter salad that was good, but overall the food was horrible and overpriced. What they are hoping to achieve with the flavors did not work . Overall, would never dine here again.

    Everything about the Fat Ox was great! The food was incredible ( especially the brick grilled chicken and cacio e Pepe ) the beef carpaccio was also stellar!

    Oxtail was dry & not very good. I probably should’ve told the server, but I did not. We were celebrating our anniversary. My son had scallops and they were fishy. Ambulance was beautiful when I go back probably not. Short ribs

    We did the first 2 courses family style and that was a good balance to the entrees. Our server also happened to be sommelier which was helpful when selecting a wine that paired well with the different entrees selected. Sydney was our server and she was terrific.
