The Sicilian Butcher

This restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating, which was nice. It was our first visit, and we started with the bruschetta — it was good, and we especially liked the fig jam and ricotta. For our entrées, we had the eggplant meatballs with vodka sauce (wish it had a little more spice and sauce), the pork rollatini and gnocchi (very good, but could use a few more gnocchi), and the kids’ chicken Milanese with fries — which was excellent! Overall, we enjoyed our meal and would come back to try more dishes.

You can’t go wrong eating here. We frequent the SB as we have never had a bad meal and I am totally thrilled with their Lobster Ravioli and more specifically the lobster bisque. For 40 years I’ve been trying lobster bisque at restaurants worldwide and couldn’t find one that was as good as the Fountainblu MIami 1985. I found the best Lobster Bisque here at Sicilian Butcher!!! Baked Cannelloni and Salmon with Nonas Garlic Bread and Lemoncello!!!

In town on business, went here for dinner. We ordered the Pane Cunzatu for appetizers, everyone at the table agreed they were amazing. I chose to order the Craft Meatballs, Sauce & Pasta. The Uncle Arthur’s Sausage meatballs, the Parmigiano Cream sauce and the Strozzapreti pasta. It doesn’t appear to be a lot but it’s very filling. The meatballs were amazing, the sauce was good, I would order different pasta next time, it was weirdly heavy (could just be me). The service was great, the appetizer and main course came out when expected. We were there a little before the dinner rush. We all agreed we would come back again.

Enjoyed a fabulous anniversary dinner here tonight! I had the branzino fish dish, and it was the best fish I have had in a long time; delicate, flavorful and so perfectly prepared I asked our wonderful server Nico to give my compliments to the chef. The manager Angelo, and Chef Adam came to say hello, and we were so impressed with the staff, along with the excellent service and high quality of the food. My husband had the butcher’s pizza and he loved it. The wedge salad was the best, with a smoked creamy sauce, and our appetizer-mussels in a smoky Calabrian chile broth, left us cleaning the bowl with the delicious bread that came with it. We had tiramisu for dessert that was freshly made in house. Even the house red wine was smooth and delicious. If we could give 10 stars we would. We highly recommend The Sicilian Butcher and will be back soon! Buon appetito!

Absolutely amazing experience at The Sicilian Butcher in Chandler, AZ! I started with their espresso martini topped with Neapolitan cold foam—perfection in a glass. The Italian saganaki was sooo good, rich and flavorful. For my main, I had the meatball Ferris wheel, and it was incredible—especially the chicken parm meatball and the turkey meatball with pesto, both bursting with flavor. Finished with the lemon meringue tart, which was the perfect sweet ending. The service was very attentive from start to finish. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in Arizona!

Emma was out server she was so gracious and accommodating! We loved her! The Paparedelle and Meatballs with Bolognese The canola cart for desert and the gelato were just like being in Sicily!

I made a reservation in advance to celebrate my son’s birthday. He wanted gnocchi! I had notated that we were celebrating, but sadly, there was no mention during our dining. No worries though. We were promptly seated, enjoyed the busy atmosphere, and noticed the large outdoor dining area. We were greeted by our server in a timely manner, and were not rushed. Water was provided, and our drink order taken. When our server returned, he was very helpful in going over the menu with us since I had never dined here before. We chose the Stuffed Squash Blossoms, and both ordered the Gnocchi with Vodka Sauce with Tomaso’s Sicilian Meatballs. The Stuffed Squash Blossoms arrived, and looked quite delicious with four to an order. We were both underwhelmed, unfortunately. Although generously stuffed, the corn overpowered the smooth texture of the filling, the mint we could not taste, and the dish desperately needed salt. I will say that the batter was wonderfully crunchy though. Our main course was delivered before I had a chance to finish my appetizer. I personally prefer to be completely done before my main arrives, but I understand they were quite busy on a Friday evening. Upon first glance of the Gnocchi with Vodka Sauce and Tomaso’s Sicilian Meatballs, the dish looked inviting albeit a bit messy with the plating (the photo has been edited to clean up the plate). First bite of the gnocchi….pillowy perfection! Tender, soft, and almost no chewing required. Very pleased. The vodka sauce was excellent, and perfectly balanced. The meatballs were amazingly tender and delicious, and with three meatballs to a portion, quite generous. Overall, excellent! Now, while I personally would pass on the squash blossoms, I would definitely return again to try other pastas, and a different appetizer. The experience and the food was lovely overall.

First time here and the staff were super sweet! Our waitress gave us great recommendations, and we ended up enjoying the “build your own pasta.” The pasta is made in-house and it’s really delicious! The espresso martini is made with actual espresso, 10/10 recommend. The tiramisu was a little disappointing though, I could taste the grittiness of the sugar in the crème.
