22 Best Italian Restaurants near Cave Springs

“We've been wanting to try this place since we moved here, but just hadn't got around to it. It did not disappoint at all! It smelled wonderful, they were super busy, but they still managed to seat us immediately, the service was wonderful, we didn't have to wait long for drinks or food, the portions were huge, and it was sooo good....Also the bread and oil was to die for.“

“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.“

“Up from Baton Rouge to visit Crystal Bridges museum and other sites. Found MT online. Food was excellent! Service from Emerson was outstanding. Very attentive and chatty. Kudos to him!! We're stuffed.“

“Last night we celebrated our 45th wedding anniversary at Cappriccios, one of our favorite restaurants. The food was excellent as always, but it’s the warm, friendly atmosphere that we really like. Carlos, his family members and wait staff take the time to greet us personally and to ensure everything is perfect. They really care about your dining experience. This is a resturant where you can talk, relax and enjoy an unhurried meal on white table cloths while listing to Sinatra! We love it! Thanks to Carlos, Dennis and Alex for (another) pleasant evening! Highly recommend!“

“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!!!“

“Been going to Mama Z's for many years. While NWA is growing and the food scene is getting better, Mama Z's still has THE best red sauce in the area, hands down. The Chicken Parm is phenomenal.

Is it the most traditional Italian place? Probably not. Is it the best around here? Yes!“

“Outstanding in every way in a very busy evening. We were served a Prosecco while waiting for our reservation table to clear. Our server was lovely and knowledgeable. Our table was in a very comfortable corner setting. The meal was delicious, different and reasonably priced. We loved it!“

“I live in California but my parents live in Arkansas. My mom has purchased Pozza’s for me. It is delicious and I enjoy receiving it. I love to cook pasta and Pozza’s is flavorful.“

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

“This was our first time, recommended by a friend. The atmosphere, ambiance, food and service was top-notch! Our server, Ross, was exceptional. Ross was over the top with friendliness, knowledge, recommendations and was engaged in our dining experience. The food was as described on the menu and everything was served to perfection. It was a bit loud as the restaurant filled, but that wasn't a damper for us. Highly recommend!“

“Ordered lasagna, when it was served it was burnt on the side and bottom. Showed it to manager and he asked if it was burned to much. What a sorry way to react, I was served with another plate.“

“Had not been there for 10 years Same wonderful food and great service and atmosphere ?. Had a great time!!“

“Amazing little find and incredible food! Very friendly staff. Looking forward to jazz nights.“

“The food was great! Thr only issue was the portion sizes were inconsistent. Plenty of meat but my friend had very little pasta with his while I had the right amount. He actually left a good portion of his sauce behind because there was nothing to have it with.

Our server was the only one working and was taking care of all the tables very well despite that.“

“The tacos were incredible and the service was so friendly! The owner took the time and made sure we ordered the best tacos and was incredibly friendly! Easy spot to grab really good tacos! Best tacos were the Mole, Al Pastor, Carne Asada, and the Tingo!“

“Ahhhmazing. We loved everything about this place. The pizza. The homemade ranch. The homemade hot honey. The Caesar salad. The service. 10 plus stars in our book! Honestly, we went to get gas for our rav and smelled the aroma from outside. Glad it lured us in. Worth it! Worth every calorie I consumed tonight. 😂“

“Top notch food and people!“

“Hadn't been to Noodles in a while but very glad I returned. I had the jalapeno lime chicken and the sauce on that bad boy is exceptional. My friend devoured his lasagna and we capped it off with their key lime pie. These guys know what they're doing. Emily’s service was outstanding as well. I'll be back soon. For taramisu too! Bon appétit!!“
