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.

    The food was very good as was the service. We are sat in the very back room that seemed isolated from the rest of the restaurant. Otherwise everything was a great evening.

    The wait service was good. Food ok, although a bit overpriced. The 6 of us sat in the corner and our water glasses were never refilled since sitting down. Not a great experience for the money
