About

Chef Eric brings 44 years of culinary mastery to this intimate steakhouse tucked away in Ivins. The menu centers on perfectly executed steaks (the tomahawk ribeye is legendary) alongside Italian specialties, all prepared with the kind of attention to detail that turns dinner into an event. Every element gets the chef's personal touch, from the perfectly toasted bread to the precisely spiced main courses.

The atmosphere strikes that sweet spot between elegant and welcoming. You're dining in a high-end venue, but the service feels genuinely warm rather than stuffy. It's the kind of place where celebrating an anniversary or marking a special occasion feels natural. The intimate setting means you can actually have a conversation while savoring what many consider the best steak in southern Utah.

Reservations are smart here (they take them), and yes, it's pricey. But when you're getting steaks that rival Manhattan's finest and Italian dishes crafted by a chef who's been perfecting his craft for decades, the investment makes sense. The experience consistently leaves diners calling it their best meal ever.

Located in Ivins, just minutes from St. George, Arrabiata makes an excellent celebration dinner during your southern Utah travels. Whether you're exploring Zion or Snow Canyon, this is where you come when you want to turn a good trip into an unforgettable one.

This was easily one of the most fun and great dining experiences I’ve ever had. I don’t know how I got in, but I was able to get reservations and be sat during an evening where the restaurant wasn’t open to the public. Through an interesting chain of events, I was admitted and was the only person in the restaurant. Another group reserved it and then had left early. Only to my benefit. Eric (the chef) was gracious and sat me. Because of this situation, I got very personalized attention. Not that he isn’t personable to everyone, it was extra this time. The environment was dim and quiet. There is some classic jazz that plays in the back ground. It’s a more intimate place to eat and seems special. There isn’t much seating beyond 8 or so tables. The kitchen isn’t large. However, I can’t understate the quality of the dining experience. Literally, and actually, the best food I may have ever tasted in my life. The time and care taken to give the food the flavors I had were extraordinary. This is the “chefs kiss” of food. Easily the best in So. Utah. On top of that, I had quite an engaging conversation with Eric. It went from taking about an hour for dinner to a 3 hour experience. I think we both (Eric the Chef and I) walked away with good value from the visit. I plan to visit many times in the future. There was so much good food to eat and just not enough room in my stomach to try it all. If you want to impress your spouse or business associates, this is the place to eat. There are also loads of options when it comes to wine to pair with your dinner. High quality cuts of meat, aged to perfection. I chose the ribeye and was not disappointed. The bread, the salad, and even the dessert, were all the right sized portions and the most flavorful I’ve ever had. I am already dreaming of my next visit. You should as well! If you read this, Eric, I’ll be back (with more people). Thank you!

Phenomenal from start to finish. Spectacular atmosphere, and welcoming staff. The small details really stood out from the perfectly toasted bread and perfectly cooked pasta, to the absolutely outstanding main course. By far the best dining experience in St. George and one of the best I’ve had ever. They got everything right, even down to the wine pairing. I can’t recommend this place enough! Great people, and somehow, even better food! I can’t wait to come again. Thank you so much for the experience guys!!!

This place is a hidden gem, absolutely amazing!!! Chef Eric really knows is stuff 44 Years of experience in the business & it shows. It is pricey but this is a very "Fine Dining Experience"! My wife & I shared about a 3 lb. Tomahawk Ribeye steak, this was hands down the best steak I've had in my life! And the mushrooms & fresh veggies as a side dish was the perfect compliment. Then we had a slice of cheesecake which was also heavenly, perfect flavor & texture, it was incredible! They were very accommodating to my special diet of no breads, dairy or sugar. Wonderful place for sure, the food & service were hands down 5 star!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Chef Eric provided one of the best meals we have ever had. So I NEVER order steak out, but decided to give his a try. I have never had a steak like it. For the longest time, my #1 steak I had ever had was in Manhattan, NY, but that is now #2. Arrabiata is now #1! The flavors and spices are perfectly placed on all meals, not overdone like most places. Care is given to each plate. He takes pride in what he does and has a ton of experience. We went with the five-course meal and were very very happy. Highly recommend this place for a special meal! It was a convention of amazing flavors!

Coming back to this review to say that the second time back was either just as good or better than the first time. The pasta and steak are easily the best food you will ever eat. The whole 5-course meal is absolutely incredible. My original review: Truly the best food I have ever had plus it being an absolutely new experience for me. The chef brought out a 5 course meal for each of us and every dish was good enough to be on its own. The wait was more than worth it. I was stunned at every moment. I've never slowed down to eat as much as I did here. Absolutely incredible. Certainly pricey, but more than worth it. I will absolutely be coming back
