7 Best Italian Restaurants near Bella Vista

“This is the second time we’ve eaten here. Food is okay. It’s not what it should be for the price you pay but it’s enjoyable. The service was a bit iffy. Today I’m pretty sure our waiter forgot about us. We waited quite a while and I’m pretty sure he was playing bartender while we were waiting. A bit frustrating because the restaurant was literally empty. It was us and three other families. He seemed to be having fun at the bar with his coworkers though.
Aside from a rough end, it was mostly good. Foods a bit heavy, but again, enjoyable.“

“Tavola Trattoria, Bentonville. This Bentonville institution had been praised by practically everyone we’d met when we asked for great food recommendations on our recent stay, so we had to pay it a visit. Tavola serves hearty, authentic Italian and Mediterranean fare. The staff are extremely knowledgeable and friendly, and our server Emily was a wonderful host. We started with a bottle of Fontella Chianti, to enjoy with the complimentary focaccia, and shortly after ordering, the antipasti arrived; Calamarello, a fritto misto style dish of fried squid, prawns, aubergine and courgette, and an Insalata Colorata, with kale, baby spinach, red gem lettuce, carrots, fennel, and a herbed lemon vinaigrette topped with creamy Burrata. And the main courses were also outstanding; The Westlake Stromboli, was an incredible crab, shrimp, basil pesto, parmesan & mozzarella rolled pizza, and the Ravioli Tavola was stuffed with blue crab meat on house parmesan cream drizzled with roasted red bell pepper sauce- a superb pasta dish. Tavola Trattoria absolutely hit the spot, and is a must-visit for anyone looking for tasty, traditional Italian food prioritising local, fresh produce and quality ingredients.“

“We had K’Zolis cater two weddings for us. This food truck was absolutely amazing. Fresh, homemade food and the service was impeccable.“

“Everything about Sestina is top tier; the food is incredible, the atmosphere is elevated yet cozy, and the service is fantastic. Hands down they are the best restaurant in Northwest Arkansas! We went for our anniversary and they even made us a little hand-signed card which was so thoughtful. I’ve been to many high-end restaurants in big cities that can’t compete with the food & drink quality as well. (I had seen a few reviews at the beginning that I was unsure of, but when we got there, everything was 10/10 and I couldn’t find any of the issues those few people had mentioned so don’t let that discourage you from going. I’m not paid or promoted in any way by this restaurant, I just wanted to give my honest review rather than a review that intentionally sought out issues when they first opened and were ironing the details out!) As long as they continue with the quality and service, this will definitely be THE restaurant I recommend to others as well as continue dining at for my own celebrations!“

“We are from NH but my husband has been working in Bentonville Arkansas since last June I come once a month to visit and Napolis is always a must!! We sit in the bar area the waiter/bartender is absolutely amazing. Food it great!!!“

“Yesterday was our first visit. We have been wanting to try it for a while, just hadn't. What a mistake! What a wonderful experience from the beginning. We had the house made tre mozarelle, Cesar with anchovy as antipasti. Both dishes were excellent. For our 2 main dishes, we chose linguine con aragosta & bucatini ali' amatriciana. The lobster was cooked perfectly and the sauce and house made pasta were intricate and flavorful. The amatriciana had a great balance with the sauce and pecorino.

For dessert, one of our servers suggested the candy cap mushroom gelato. We were a bit hesitant, but tried it along with espresso and malaga gelato (comes in a set of 3). All flavors were excellent. We also shared a tiramisu in an individual jar. It was also fabulous. The lady fingers were light and delicate.

We can't wait to return to try other dishes and soups as well as enjoy outdoor dining in the fall.

Cibo eccellente e servizio impeccabile.“

“Never had a single pizza from this location that wasn't fantastic. I don't order out alot but when I want a good fresh pizza I always order from Razorback pizza in Jane Mo. These folks cook to perfection. Great flavor, excellent quality. My friends and family always order for them. They beat out the other competition by leaps and bounds. Bravo to all the employees of an amazing job and team. Thank you for making it out favorite 😁“
