" Wonderful experience! The staff truly made our visit special with their warmth and expertise. We tried everything from the appetizers to desserts and were not disappointed. The highlight was definitely the homemade pastas. My friend had the scallops and raved about them. A perfect spot for a night out or casual dinner with friends! Would highly recommend those meatballs! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dinner at Fat Ox was a treat! The shawarma pizza was delightful—unique and delicious. My friends enjoyed the seafood pasta, and I could not take my eyes off their cheese board. The staff was attentive but not overly so. The only issue was that the wait times were a bit longer than expected. Still, I would return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just finished my meal at Fat Ox, and I can't stop thinking about how delicious it was! The risotto had an amazingly creamy texture, and I loved the unique flavor combinations in their dishes. The ambiance felt warm and inviting, making it an ideal spot for dinner. The team was attentive and ensured we had everything we needed. I’m eager to return for another round soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Fat Ox was chosen for a family celebration, and it did not disappoint! The waitstaff was incredibly personable and attentive, making sure we had a great experience. The menu offered a wide range of Italian favorites and some unique offerings. The meatball app was superb! While my entrée was good, I thought it could’ve had more seasoning. However, the dessert was top-notch. All in all, I would recommend giving it a try! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing all the buzz about Fat Ox, I finally made the trip this week. The atmosphere lived up to its reputation—lively yet sophisticated. The service was impeccable. I tried the seasonal risotto and loved every bite! My only critique would be that dessert felt a bit rushed as we were handed the check too quickly after finishing our plates. Other than that, I'd certainly recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was underwhelmed by my previous visit to Fat Ox. The food was not as spectacular as I had anticipated. While the ambiance was nice and the service good, my main dish was bland and uninspired. The pasta seemed really basic, lacking those rich flavors I expected from an Italian restaurant. Maybe it was just my choice, but I wouldn't recommend going if you're looking for something truly special. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to my visit to Fat Ox, but it fell short of expectations. While the ambiance was lovely and our server was friendly, the food did not match the hype. I ordered the Cacio e Pepe, which I usually love, but it was overly salty and not enjoyable. The cocktails were good, but I left feeling disappointed in my meal overall. Perhaps I caught them on an off night. " (*Curated Review*)
