20 Best Italian Restaurants near Cave Springs

“Dined in on 3/7/24 with business associates, arriving at 6:30 pm. Definitely recommend reservations, as they are busy! Excellent service, warm and inviting atmosphere. In nearly 8 years here, this is by far my favorite restaurant in Northwest Arkansas. My former mother-in-law was Italian and was an excellent cook - the food here tastes authentic! The bread served ahead of time was very good! I had the sampler plate, and everything was hot and delicious. I especially appreciated the homemade and fresh fettucine alfredo! I skipped the salad, but my companions said their's was crisp and tasty. Everyone raved about their entrees, as well. We all had the cannolis - which I was told they made in house, as well. They were rich and creamy - definitely worth the calories! This whole experience was fabulous and one that I'll repeat again, very soon. Ottimo cibo!“

“If you ever get to Bentonville, Arkansas this restaurant is a must. They will not take reservations for small parties but it was worth the 45 minute wait. LORD was it. Bonus, I'm a hard-core Arnold Palmer gal. The bartender there BLEW everything I've made myself or had at any establishment out of the water. Although I LOVED the lasagne bolognese, I would go back for the Arnold Palmer in a heartbeat. And EVERYONE should go to the Crystal Bridges Art Museum while you're in Bentonville.“

“My favorite Italian restaurant in NWA by far! Nothing trendy here - the classics are served impeccably well! Wonderful ambiance, great for dates or a quiet dinner. They are now open for lunch too, although it's hard to tell. The service is also friendly and wonderful. Highly recommend!“

“Great pizza and sorbet trio!“

“Friendly staff… Very clean environment… reasonable prices…. We really enjoyed Our 1st time there!!!“

“This place is the best in town, the staff and food are amazing. Bring your family and enjoy great dinning.“

“The family was craving good pizza so we tried Pizzeria Ruby for the first time last night. Every bite was like OMG, what the hell kind of goodness is this? From someone that loves to cook and eat, let me tell you, this is it! And I hear their pastas may even be better. Can't wait to go back and thrilled to have a place like this in NWA!“

“Hands down the best freshly hand made from scratch home-cooked Italian meal I've had in 30+ years, my wife and I have been looking for great locally family owned restaurants that reminds me of my aunts cooking and finally we found it, even though we'll have to drive 50 miles from Oklahoma it's County miles(those of you know what I mean) and it's worth it...we'll certainly be making several trips back...the family rich history and photos that's tells their story and the family is proud to also share their family history of Mama Z. Our waitress Amber was Awesome, so friendly, helpful and treated everyone like family. The atmosphere is just like being at grandma's home so welcoming and relaxing.“

“Haven't had Pizza Hut in years! Decided about a month ago to order Pizza from the new Pizza Hut in our neighborhood! WOW~ They did not disappoint! We have since ordered 3 times! We typically have it delivered, they are fast and the order is always right! The little Cinnabon's are addicting as well as the buffalo wings! I highly recommend the Pizza Hut on Sunset!“

“Great food and everyone else was great except for Heather who didn’t smile the entire time nor come back after giving us our food to check on us. Was out of drink majority of my meal and had to go to the front desk to get any further service. We were 1/3 customers in the place.“

“We door dashed for our first experience eating their food and it was delicious! Highly recommend!“

“3 of us went there on Valentines Day and really loved the food and service! We also noticed they had takeout counter for Indian Food partially walled off on other side of restaurant. I believe you can order eat in Indian as well but not sure. We will be back as everyone ordered differnt dish and thought it was amazing!“

“It’s so good that I’m literally trying everything on the menu & so far the pulled pork bbq hotdog & the California Burger are my favorites“

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

“Their food truck came to our apartment. Having little experience of American or Italian food, I cannot give a detailed analysis or subjective review on the authenticity of the cuisine. However, I loved their lasagna and parmesan baked pasta. Both were reasonably priced but sumptuous, fresh and extremely delicious. The garlic bread was too salty. The truck was very clean and well maintained compared to others I have seen in this area. Service was good and fast. Will definitely order again.“

“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.“

“The service and food was too notch! The atmosphere is amazing. I highly recommend Noodles Italian Kitchen!“

“Overall a clean store with friendly staff. We ordered a pizza and cheesybread from Marco's for the first time. The man behind the counter helped us decide the best order for our preference and everything was great. We waited inside for our order which was quickly received.“

“We came for a work dinner, it came out a little cold, as there were 14 of us. Drinks took a while, a few were incorrect but we did get them. French onion soup is usually pretty good here, this time it wasn't hot and the cheese was not completely melted. The restaurant has been updated, cute inside, and an amazing outside patio. Will come back to check out the patio in the spring,/fall.“

“Always great food, drinks & friendly service! ♥️“
