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 over 1 kg porterhouse. The family-style menu is fun for a crew, rolling out four courses from antipasti to dolce.

    Our 3rd Christmas at Fat Ox, it’s our new tradition. Margot was our server, she was an absolute doll and gave us a great experience. The food was outstanding, just as expected! We got dessert to go and enjoyed every bit. Can’t wait for next Christmas!

    We arrived early for our reservation and while we were waiting we found 2 seats at the bar. Since it was comfortable and the same menu was available we decided to eat at the bar. Good choice as Joe was our bartender and was very attentive. We started with the mussels and then I had Gnocchi, which was excellent and my wife had Gigli, also very good. We finished with Tiramisu, which was killer good. Overall a very enjoyable Christmas Day dinner.

    Second time at Fat Ox and I must say, I was less than impressed both times. I told myself that the first time would be my last, but I was low on options, being Christmas Day…

    I was very disappointed with my meal. I didn't like the taste of the sauce on my lasagna. I didn't like the lasagna period. Maybe it was an off day. The Tiramisu was just awful. It was served cold and had a fudge crust. It shouldn't have. Some dishes you shouldn't mess with too much.

    We live in the neighbor and have been to this restaurant many years ago. We thought we’d try it again. But after this dinner …not so much…We had an appetizer (charcuterie board)…it was ok. Our caesar salad was too salty…my chicken dinner was meh and my husband’s $42 salmon dinner was a small piece of fish (nothing else)…and salty too. We can not recommend…
