“The food was amazing. I was taken aback by a $15 price tag for the garlic bread, but it was worth the price. Our table was still talking about it even after the rest of the amazing food. The entree prices were very reasonable, most of them $21-$29 each. I ordered the baked canneloni and it was so good. Someone ordered a pizza and loved it, too. I know it's conceited to say--but many times I eat at a restaurant thinking my own cooking is just as good. Not at The Sicilian Butcher--I couldn't begin to replicate the delicious food we ate.“

“We just moved out to the area and the name caught us. The take out was quick. Zero hassles. Food was incredible. Will be a staple when we eat out. It was incredible. Chicken Masala was very good, although it had more of a sweet base than tasting the wine. Chicken Parm was great. Spaghetti and meatballs were very good. My daughter even loved the chicken tenders. Fries were VERY good. Bread was amazingly fresh. HIGH PRAISE TWISTED ITALIAN.“

“We had such a wonderful experience at Olive Garden, and Bre was a big part of making it so special! She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel so well taken care of from the moment we sat down. Our drinks were always full, she checked to make sure everything was good, and she genuinely went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our meal. You can tell Bre really cares about her customers and takes pride in what she does. She is truly an exceptional server, and we hope to have her again the next time we visit! Thank you, Bre, for making our dinner such a great experience! ❤“

“In the area for work and was recommended to come here from a client, I decided to come before the dinner rush (around 5pm) since I'm just a single seat. I was greeted and seated quickly, they had my choice bourbon from the bar, and I ordered the spicy rigatoni vodka, a half Ceaser salad, and the tiramisu.

Food was honestly delicious. The salad was wonderful, nice and creamy with hints of anchovies and homemade croutons; however, I did find it odd that they would sprinkle parsley on this salad.

The main dish, the spicy rigatoni vodka, was very tasty, perfect amount of spice, the pancetta was nice and crispy with solid chunks. A couple shortfalls: I felt it was a bit sparse on the sausage. I feel like bigger and more chunks of sausage would make this dish perfect. I would also prefer table side garnishing for my parmigiano, so I can control how much or how little I prefer.

The tiramisu was delicous, I love that they put these crunchy little balls of chocolate on top. The shortfall here was that I feel it was too afraid of having that espresso taste.

Overall I very much enjoyed my meal, my waitress was attentive and helpful. I think I'd definitely come back if I'm in the area again!“

“We have not been at this location for 11 months or so due to the horrific food and service at that time.
We were in the mood for good thick crust pizza and decided to give this location another try.
Best decision ever. We learned there was a management change in March 2026 and the service and pizza was outstanding“
