The Sicilian Butcher - Chandler: Italian Tapas and Craft Cocktails in Chandler, AZ

This place is so good <3 Went here on 2/13 for an early Valentine’s dinner and it was great. They had a special seafood menu for the holiday. Sam was super sweet and we had a great time!! Service was a little slow but it was a holiday and quite busy so it made sense :)

First time visit. Enjoy the outdoor patio if weather permits. The wedge salad was excellent and shareable. The sicilian meatballs were excellent. The Margherita pizza was disappointing. Not very tasty and shy on the basil. The fazzoletti was delicious and very filling. It might actually be better with marinara added to it. Dessert was a lobstertail and traditional cannoli. Both very good. Service was good. Make reservations! We were there on a Monday at 5:00 and it was packed when we left at 6:15.

Great experience all around! The food and dessert were excellent, the portions were very generous, and the service was outstanding. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from start to finish. Highly recommend and will be our first stop when we visit Arizona again.

Just ate dinner here for the first time. I was dining alone so I sat at the bar, under the suggestion of the hostess. It was a Sunday evening at about 7 pm. The restaurant was occupied but not busy. The bar tenders, Aubrey and a Natalie, greeted me warmly. I ordered the statue of David cocktail (mostly because I wanted to drink it out of the statue head) and it was well-balanced, lightly fruity, and generous. I had the pleasure of meeting the sous chef, Chris. I asked him what I should order and he guided me to the Menage a Trois - a blend of shrimp, calamari, and clams tossed with pasta in a San Marzano, saffron, and wine sauce. I was concerned about the chili in the dish, so he brought me a couple slices of the pepper to sample first. I asked if he could have the dish prepared lite on the chili, and he said absolutely. That pasta dish was *chef kiss* perfect. The flavors were so harmonious and fresh. Each bite of seafood was cooked to perfection. The pasta is made in-house daily, and it shows. Aubrey hooked me up with a great Tuscan red, light-bodied and smooth, that complimented the dish perfectly. I haven't had pasta this good since I was in Sicily. Chris came back out to make sure I was enjoying the meal. I was stuffed from my dinner, but couldn't resist getting a piece of tirimisu to go. (There is a Sicilian bakery attached/inside.) I couldn't go to bed without at least sampling the dessert, and it was some of the best I've ever had. I would absolutely recommend this restaurant to anyone. From the friendly greeting of the hostess to the banter with the bartenders and the genuine passion of the sous chef, this restaurant is firing on all cylinders. If you want fresh, quality food and drink prepared with love, The Sicilian Butcher is the restaurant for you. I know it's the restaurant for me!

We will be back. I brought a picky teenager and there were no leftovers. We had 2 shareable appetizers, the Fritto Misto and Nonna's bread. Then we each had a pasta dish, and desert. We loved the mufaldine pasta. It held the sauces perfectly, and the Taomaso's Sicilian meatballs were so good too. Tiramisu and Lemon Canolli were the perfect finish.

I was looking for a place to eat for my birthday dinner and I love Italian, so we decided to try this place out. Our server Sam was excellent, she was very attentive and quick on drink refills! I had the Ragu which was excellent. Mom had the lobster pasta (basically ravioli) and the wife had menage A trouis...also very good! Our favorite was the meatball ferris wheel though, very good, different and fun.

Came with my family and from the moment we walked in the service was amazing! The hostess and host up front made sure to seat us where there was space for the stroller. Followed by Jacob the KINDEST most patient server ever. He had the best recommendations and was on top of everything. For drinks we tried their ginger strawberry mocktail, so yummy and the ginger had quite the kick. For my entree I had the chicken parm with rigatoni vodka sauce off the lunch menu, it came with 2 bruschettas for the starter (the basil pesto one was was SO GOOD). Then for dessert Carmel gelato. We also tried the margarita pizza. Everything was a 10/10. Service, pricing, food taste and quality. We will absolutely be back! Thank you Jacob!!!

Sicilian Butcher is an experience from the moment you walk in. The décor alone is worth the visit — from cutting boards and clever wall displays to wine bottles lining the space and handmade pasta being crafted right in the corner. It feels authentic, lively, and thoughtfully designed. The food was absolutely to die for. The calamari steaks were so tender they cut like butter, and the truffle pasta was bursting with flavor in every single bite. Truly unforgettable. The service was just as amazing — Emma was outstanding! She was attentive, friendly, and made the entire dining experience even better with her warm and knowledgeable service. And don’t skip dessert — the classics are done perfectly. The tiramisu and cannolis were amazing, and being able to mix and match cannoli flavors is such a fun touch. An incredible dining experience all around — we can’t wait to come back!
