Always an outstanding dining experience. I had the daily fish special which was prosciutto wrapped monk fish with gnocchi which was perfectly prepared. My wife's go to is the Carbonara which is always good.

Steak was good. Shrimp bisque, potatoes, and brussel sprouts were bland. Had hopes for tiramisu but it also did not have a lot of flavor.

Not good enough for the cost. I had the ribeye, could have made it better myself. My dad got the walleye special and could not finish it. The broccolini were burnt and overly salts and the nut crust had to be scraped off the fish. My mother's carbonara was very good. Muscle were not edible. My salad with pistachio bittle and bacon was delicious.

Food was fantastic. The shrimp bisque was well balanced and the venison done perfectly. The wine list has plenty of good choices across all price ranges. Service was on point. Definitely worth visiting.

I was visiting Arkansas and decided to take a ride to Fayetteville. We called the restaurant to see if they had seating at the bar since they were booked for Valentine's Day. It's the best bar experience and service I ever had. Our bartendar/server Hana was awesome. Great customer service and her specialty cocktail was the perfect recommendation for me. She recommended to us the Lobster ravioli and Penne with Scallops (Best I ever had, perfectly seasoned and melts in your mouth). If I visit Fayetteville in the future, I will be bringing a group back because they all wanted to sample the food after my review post meal. Try to book reservations, but if it's 2-3 people the bar is definitely an option.

We celebrated Valentine's Day hear last night. We arrived a few minutes early for our reservation, but we immediately seated. Our table was downstairs. The downstairs had a darker, cozier vibe to it than the upstairs, though a few tables, including ours, could use a bit more light, either on the table or above it. A waitress immediately arrived with water and got our drink order. We were ready to order our appetizer when she returned. This restaurant takes your starter and main order at the same time, then spaces them out accordingly. This was different but we were fine with it. We ordered the calamari, penne with vodka sauce and pollo with farfalle. The calamari looked a little lackluster on color, but was very tender and really good. The house made marinara was some of the best we've had anywhere. It was perfect to mop up with the great focaccia bread that came out. Both of our entrees were delicious and the perfect size. My chicken breast was slightly charred, and a bit over cooked, but when mixed with the sun dried tomato cream size, was still good. We usually skip dessert but decided to order some last night; I got the tiramisu and my boyfriend got the ricotta vanilla cheesecake with caramel and chocolate sauce. The filling of my tiramisu was great, but it appears it had not sat long enough, as the ladyfingers were dry and did not have enough espresso soaked into them. Cheesecake was a bit dry as well. Overall, very good. We will return for sure, but just forego dessert.

It was rather crowded (Valentines) and the service was a bit slow. We were almost late to the symphony & had to rush diner. (We planned 2 hours) The food was really good. The server very sweet. I just wish we could have enjoyed it at a slower pace. Will def go back.
The music was loud when we arrived, but they turned it down later. We have always been big fans of Vetro, but this night the food was below the usual standard. They were out of the greens for the salad with fennel so they substituted spinach. Mine had some large woody stems left in it. The steak dish was my choice. While the steak was cooked perfectly, the rest of the dish was not at all what was described on the menu. The roasted Brussels sprouts were not caramelized. They were close to raw. The lobster addict to the dish was completely missing. There was nothing in the mashed potatoes or in the sauce. Those were my main reason to choose that dish. My husband's chicken was over cooked, but he liked the flavor. They oversold themselves big time on the Valentine's Day menu. I hesitate to send food back because first of all, I do not want to waste and secondly, it makes everyone uncomfortable. We will not come back for this occasion again. I will come back for birthdays and anniversaries, but not for an occasion when they cannot keep up supply for even the most paired down menu. The waitress was fine, but she never bothered to take my salad course drink order as I asked. She also did not wait for me to cut into my steak or even ask if it was cooked properly.
Food was by far the worst i’ve had in fayetteville. Seems as if they tried to make it flavorful and just added too much. There was too much going on. I’d say the bread was the best thing I had. The waiter asked if we wanted bread so I assumed it would be complimentary with our meals and we were charged for it. Our waiter bothered us too often and would take away random plates or silverware we were using. Honestly Olive Garden has better food options… and that’s sad

My wife and I went here for the first time after living in NW Arkansas for over 10 years and hearing about it. We went early 5:30, as we had tickets to a sporting event at the University at 7; therefore didn't make reservations. When we arrived was surprised with how small the seating area was (and with no ambience). The host said next available was 6:30 but we could eat at the bar. We took him up on it, and tried to sit at bar tables but he said they were only for drinks (later some sat there and was served a meal!). We ordered a drink, appetizer, and two entrees, I'm gluten intolerant so got gluten free pasta, which was a $3 up charge (expect to pay this for pizza crust, and bread, but not pasta which they got from a box instead of making it fresh). We didn't get are food until 6:30, the bill was $97 before tip, and we missed the start of the sporting event. Service was fine, but when paying $50/pp for a meal I expect better.

Fabulous food, especially the pasta bolognese! My date had lobster/corn bisque, muscles with chorizo (it was like a cioppino), and the fresh fish.
Always an outstanding dining experience. I had the daily fish special which was prosciutto wrapped monk fish with gnocchi which was perfectly prepared. My wife's go to is the Carbonara which is always good.
