18 Best Italian Restaurants near Farmington

“New Yorker here….. all I can say is FINALLY! Great pizza, very nice staff. My accent even came back just chatting with the owner. I tried the 1/2 order of pesto pasta, and that was excellent as well. I’ll be a regular customer, no doubt.“

“Our dinner was very good and service was prompt and non-intrusive. I opted for one of the specials for the night, a pan-seared filet of Chilean sea bass which was cooked perfectly over a bed of orzo with sautéed broccolini. My wife ordered the bolognese, which she enjoyed very much. This was a traditional bolognese not what you sometimes get at Italian restaurants (too tomatoey, too watery). The crème brûlée (sorry I forgot what it's called in Italian, lol) was very nice with the addition of grand mariner to the chocolate cream which gave it a little something extra.“

“Eleven of us showed up for my brother's birthday dinner. No one could finish their dinners, but everyone had more than enough to eat and took leftovers home. It was all delicious, and the garlic bread is just about the best I've ever had. Chocolate cheesecake is rich but beautifully balanced - not too sweet or too strong. Service was terrific. In short, we all had a great time with great food, and I highly recommend Geraldi's! We'll be going back soon!!“

“I’ve been coming to Pesto’s most of my life and have always enjoyed the food and the vibe. Lance has taken it to several more levels. Comfortable vibe, chef-run kitchen, awesome food. Highly recommend the new Pesto’s by Lance!! Treat yourself with the Spumoni cherry brownie. You’ll be glad you did!“

“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!“

“We had a lovely 60th birthday dinner for Dr. Larry Schemel with some of our closest friends tonight and our family friends extended beyond our immediate table. We had a surprise visit with some very special friends that have been in our life for the entire time we have lived in Northwest Arkansas, thank you Lance Belline for the lovely dinner for Larry! We love you and appreciate your personal friendship and your financial guidance for many years. Isabella’s was excellent from superior service, wonderful atmosphere and delicious meal. I highly recommend Isabella’s to anyone wanting a delicious meal, superior service and a relaxing atmosphere.“

“Most delicious meal starting with seared scallops as well as meat balls for appetizers! Entrees we selected were both perfect; Salmon for me & pork chop for my hubby. Ended with two desserts! Killer chocolate cake & cheese cake. Our waiter Micheal was incredible knowledgeable about selections and offered service to match the meal!Dietary restrictions: I’m gluten free and found plenty of options.“

“You absolutely have to Try this little spot right on highway 412. Always a great experience. They have daily specials but I can't go there without getting the small chicken and spaghetti meal. Beautifully fried chicken breast and a portion of their fresh made spaghetti made by their own pasta house in the back building. It's so good. The spaghetti comes with a generous portion of their homemade meat sauce. The house salads are so fresh and comes w their homemade Italian dressing. The homemade rolls are always fresh and yummy. Everything here is "Homemade" and you can actually purchase Mama Z'a dry pasta and Italian dressing from a small display case at the register. You won't be disappointed. Our server was Lisa and she was wonderful!“

“Our family loves Renzo's for a quick weeknight dinner. The service is always exceptional and the food is consistent. The younger chef is very attentive to his customers input and he cooked my husbands steak perfectly. It's great to feel welcomed every time we choose Renzo's and enjoy a delicious meal.“

“Renzo’s catered our wedding and did an outstanding job! We had so many guests comment on how good the food was and asked us who catered it. I highly recommend Renzo’s for any catering service or just to grab lunch at the restaurant. The food is always excellent!“

“First time trying this food truck and it was delicious!! I got the summer pasta and it was the perfect hot dish for this cold, rainy weather. And I'm usually not a fan of bread sticks but these were so flavorful.The service was great, he gave us extra food and drinks just because. You can tell he cares a lot for his food and customers. Will definitely be going back“

“Newest review 3/16/24This has been our families go to place for family special occasions.The menu had changed.... since December 2023.Our party of 6 experianced stale chips, burned broccoli, no bacon spinach ravioli, the appetizers were given to another table and had to be remade and our meals were eatable but not as we have experianced for multiple years since my first review. Good Italian food here may a thing of the past.☆☆☆☆Absolute must at our table..Starters pick 2 OUR PICKS spinach & artichoke dip with brushetta.Italian classics mealBacon spinach ravioli.Occasionally dessert Tiramisu for a sweet ending to our meal.Food and Service as always AWESOME!“

“Our server Zane was the absolute goat and checked on us the perfect amount and he blessed us up with some Andes mints. He was awesome and very understanding of our indecision and even helped us to make choices that came out absolutely amazing. S/O to Zane. Food was solid too.“

“I know this is Italian restaurant and all, but the dry aged steak is the way to go! What sets their steak apart from others is that is it cooked in a wood fired stone pizza oven! The crust from this cooking process is spot on and perfect for this cut!“

“Ate lunch for first time in long time. Seated quickly, clean surroundings, food came quickly and was tasty. What made it even more enjoyable was our waitress, very personable and attentive but not overly so. Enjoyed chatting with her. Our last visit was not pleasant but this one more than made up for it. Renovations of a sort and a big screen tv for game day. Very nice. I hope they keep it up. For those that hate on the salad... it's lettuce with the most amazing dressing and if you can't appreciate it or need more for some reason I don't know what to tell you. We love it. ❤️“

“Very mellow and peaceful atmosphere. Was pleasantly surprised at how quiet it was for a Friday evening. Great spot to go to if you’re trying to avoid sensory overload. Music wasn’t too loud, distractions and noise was at a minimum. Pizza was great! Loved that pink sauce. And they have very generous servings for their salads.“

“Best Jim's around. Staff has been short my past couple of visits but with some patience definitely worth stopping in for a bite. I keep going back for their pizza. I have gone places and seen staff sitting around on their phones doing nothing and they don't do that here.“
