The Sicilian Butcher

January 16, 2026

Being a former New Yorker, who was raised most of his life in New Jersey I definitely know the definition of quality Italian food. The Chicken Parmesan is by far the best I’ve had yet since I moved out to the Valley back in 2010. I’m not quite sure how they do it, but they are definitely in direct competition with high-end Italian restaurants in Manhattan NY. I’m so grateful I live down the street from this fabulous establishment. When it comes to Customer Service, they are always spot on and truly deliver. Thank you guys for all your hard work and amazing quality food. May you continue this trend of make other customers happy like you’ve done for me so many times.

We have never been to the Scottsdale area and chose this through Google reviews. We arrived around 8:30 and they close at 10 pm. The reason I bring this up is during our meal we were watching them clean the kitchen area. They were being extremely thorough and that alone would have me returning. I had the margherita pizza with pepperoni, which is approximately 10 inches, and they give you a pair of scissors to cut it. Yes, scissors! My husband had the fazzoletti and it was a large portion as well. Our meals were delicious, our drinks from the bar were great and the service was extremely friendly. We will definitely return and try their other specialties.

A few colleagues and I came to this establishment for dinner and we ordered a few items ranging from meatballs to pasta mainly. Personally I had quite a few drinks but I didn't take pictures for all of them. They all tasted pretty good, honestly, ranging from the Passion Fruit Garibaldi to the Statue of David, which also looked quite worthy of photos because the drink was served in a porcelain container that was designed to look like the statue of David. That was quite the highlight. I didn't try any of the meatballs but my colleagues enjoyed the ferris wheel. Judging by the types of meatballs included, which were tomaso's meatball, sausage, eggplant, steak, chicken parm, and turkey, it must've been worth it to at least get. Personally I tried a few salads, and the Flora's Salad was pretty good, with my only constructive feedback as that the balsamic vinaigrette was a bit too strong to the point of heavily affecting the taste of the leafy greens specifically. It worked well with the tomatoes and artichokes, but not as much with greens and roasted peppers. The kale & apple salad had an adequate amount of balsamic included, and since it included candied walnuts, it balanced the flavor out well. My only constructive feedback is that adding protein to the salad would cause the price to skyrocket. Overall this was a good establishment to visit. While I am not sure when the next time I would return to Phoenix will be, I do see myself revisiting this spot if I am to make it back to the city.

Food was excelent. Pasta is freshly made it tastes INCREDIBLE! We also did the meatball ferris wheel and every single one of them was exceptional in flavor. Great ambiance as well. We sat in the outdoor patio and the weather was amazing not too hot or cold 🫶💕🌵

My husband and I were in Phoenix for the weekend and craving Italian. The Sicilian Butcher came highly recommended, so we made an 8:00 p.m. reservation via OpenTable. We arrived right on time, our table was ready, and both the hostess and our waiter were exceptionally friendly. We had already studied the menu back at the hotel and went straight to ordering: two house reds and bruschetta to start. The caprese was exceptional, but the remaining three fell a bit short. We also didn’t care for the fact that they all seemed to have some sort of sweet component. The whipped ricotta, in particular, was overwhelmingly sweet—the honeycomb and pink peppercorns completely overpowered the dish. We split the three-meat fazzoletti, which was good overall, but unfortunately arrived lukewarm. We also ordered a chopped salad on the side, which was great—hearty, with lots of savory elements, and quite enjoyable. For dessert, we went with our usual favorite, tiramisu. Again, it was just okay— not very rich or indulgent, and it tasted like it had just been pulled straight from the fridge. Our espresso (to go) was also subpar and extremely bitter. The ambiance itself was very nice, and the entire staff was wonderful. Overall, a solid 3/5 in my book.
