The Sicilian Butcher, the modern-casual Italian restaurant celebrated for its craft meatballs, house-made pastas, and butchery-inspired fare, will officially open its first Nashville location on Friday, October 10, 2025. Located in Wedgewood-Houston near Diskin Cider, this marks the brand’s highly anticipated Tennessee debut.

Originally launched in Arizona in 2017, The Sicilian Butcher pairs a build-your-own meatball and Sicilian-style bruschetta boards with The Sicilian Baker’s signature cannoli bar and classic Italian pastries. The Nashville restaurant will bring the concept’s signature Sicilian flavors, playful dining style, and warm hospitality to Music City.

The opening represents the brand’s sixth location nationwide and its first expansion beyond the Southwest, with further growth planned later this year. The concept comes from The Maggiore Group, led by celebrity chef Joey Maggiore, his wife and lead designer, Cristina Maggiore.
