“We have been long-time fans of the pizza, the crust is perfect, generous toppings, solid sauce. We like the OG, Marguerita, Cheese, pepperoni, sausage… etc. Tonight at the owner’s suggestion I had pasta, the Goodfellas Special. Shrimp and chicken tossed with aribiata sauce (spicy) and rigatoni. It was perfect! The meat to pasta ratio was just right, the sauce was amazing and they covered my bowl in freshly grated parmesan. I brought pizza home for later, and that will be my new strategy. I also had room for some Tirimisu and it was excellent as well. The Espresso camentheough as it should and the mascarpone cream was delicious. If you have not eaten here, do yourself a favor, and tell them the Professor sent you. Two thumbs up and 5 stars!“

“My sister selected this place for her birthday lunch. I had never been, but like Italian food so gave it a shot. The place is clean and the staff was prompt in getting us seated and our drinks brought out. When we received our food there was an issue the cook/owner promptly fixed to our complete satisfaction. It ain't the fact there was an issue, but how it was dealt with that counts. We will be going back!“

“Excellent food, as always! My wife and I were here recently for an anniversary a few weeks ago, and a couple of memories come to mind. The first and best was the delicious spaghetti with huge meatballs, served with generous amounts of fresh bread. Our server was good, but was trying to handle a group of 10-12 others, including children, so the service we received was somewhat slow. I don’t blame her for that as much as I do whoever assigned her anything besides the party table. Still, we weren’t in a huge hurry, and it won’t keep us from returning another time.“

“I had an amazing experience at Olive Garden in Fort Smith thanks to our server, Chelsea! From the moment we were seated, she was welcoming, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect throughout our meal. She had a great attitude, offered helpful suggestions, and kept our drinks full without us even asking. Chelsea truly went above and beyond she made us feel like family, which is exactly what you want when dining out. If you go to this Olive Garden, ask for Chelsea you won’t be disappointed!“

“Piatto is an absolute gem for anyone craving Italian cuisine in a modern yet welcoming setting. The restaurant strikes the perfect balance between chic design and cozy warmth, making it a great spot for a casual dinner or a special night out. Their menu is approachable but elevated, with standout personal pizzas that are always fresh, flavorful, and perfectly portioned. I especially appreciate that they offer vegetarian-friendly pizza and pasta options, which makes dining with a group easy and inclusive. Whether you’re sitting indoors surrounded by the stylish décor or lucky enough to snag a spot in their covered outdoor seating area, the atmosphere enhances the whole dining experience. Piatto is a place you’ll want to return to again and again.“
