Fat Ox · Scottsdale
Matt Carter's modern Italian, pasta done right
Why we recommend Fat Ox in Scottsdale
Fat Ox is chef Matt Carter's modern Italian flagship, set on the corner of Scottsdale Road and Lincoln Drive just north of Old Town Scottsdale. Carter, a Phoenix-born, classically trained chef, opened the room around a simple obsession: pasta made the traditional Italian way, extruded and sheeted in house daily, and finished with premium imported and seasonal ingredients rather than heavy red sauce. The result is one of the Valley's most serious Italian kitchens, and reservations for prime evening tables move fast. The space itself sets the tone. A dark, sultry dining room trades on rich textures and low light, opening to a spirited bar and a courtyard patio that comes alive in Scottsdale's temperate months. It reads equal parts date-night destination
Address: 6316 N Scottsdale Rd, Scottsdale, AZ 85253, Scottsdale
