We were in town from out of state for a volleyball tournament and were exhausted—and a little worried we might not be dressed up enough to eat here. I called ahead to ask about the dress code and mentioned that we’d be arriving only about an hour before closing. They immediately put us at ease, telling us to come as we were and not to worry about the time at all.
The food was excellent and the service exceeded our expectations. Vincent was fantastic and offered great recommendations. We started with the bruschetta, then shared the house salad and lobster ravioli—everything was outstanding. For dessert, they surprised our daughter with tiramisu, which was absolutely delicious.
This is a must-try restaurant. Fort Smith is lucky to have it!

It’s expensive, but worth it! The host was super kind and helpful. The bartenders were a hoot! The place was packed. The food and drinks were fabulous.
Definitely make a reservation. Definitely be ready to spend that dinero. Dress decent, otherwise you’ll feel underdressed.

We are here for The Dapper Wrench’s Christmas party. Robert was fabulous. Especially his dance moves. I had Pollo AllanValdostana and it was lovely. Then. I had Limoncello. To die for. Even the husband had some and he complains about everything. But he loved this!! Truly wonderful experience. Thank you Robert. Thank you Chef Joshua. And thank you to the entire staff. The strings were lovely. We so enjoyed the evening. Had I remembered a photo earlier on I would have shared more but when I thought about it this was all that was left. LOL

Came here for a birthday dinner and wished we went to Piatto instead. Service was excellent and we loved the atmosphere but were quite unimpressed with the food. For the price we expected the food to be top tier. Very basic flavors. Definitely won’t order the lasagna again. The Don’s margarita was the worst of all. The habanero juice used was very old The waiter was very kind and replaced it with a different one. My son ordered the steak which he rated 5 stars and I agreed. My partner got alfredo with chicken. He said the Alfredo was good but the chicken was dry, rating that 4 stars. Cheesecake was also very good. Maybe I’ll give this place another try in the future.

I sat at the bar wanting to order a quick to go meal, but instead I was greated by Nick the bartender and he instantly made me feel that it was okay to be down dressed and enjoyed my meal there. I had the lasagna it tasted great and the meatball dish for an appetizer . It was all very great but I do wish the lasagna was more filling as I did leave a tad bit hungry. Nonetheless my experience was great. Would definitely come again but have a different dish.

Prima Italia is a true culinary treasure! From the moment you walk in, the elegant and inviting atmosphere sets the tone for an exceptional dining experience. The staff is warm, attentive, and goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome.
The food? Absolutely divine. Every dish is a masterpiece of authentic Italian flavors, prepared with the freshest ingredients and incredible attention to detail. The handmade pasta is to die for, and the perfectly cooked seafood dishes are a standout. Don’t miss their desserts—they are the best way to end a memorable meal.
Prima Italia strikes the perfect balance between sophistication and comfort, making it an ideal spot for a special occasion or an indulgent night out.
Vincent provided exceptional service—he was attentive to every detail, entertaining with his charm and wit, and impressively knowledgeable about the menu. His recommendations were spot on, making the dining experience even more enjoyable!
Highly recommend Prima Italia to anyone who appreciates fine dining at its best!

Wonderful experience! Reservations made for 730pm. Table was not empty when we arrived, however the staff made it happen so we didn’t have to wait. We(4 of us) were given a large private room. We got a drink comped due to this. Seth and Hayden took great care of us! The food was amazing and 5 star rating on flavor. We would all recommend for anyone to come here! The crab cake appetizer was beyond delicious and different from ever other restaurant. 5 stars all the way

We came home to visit family and came here for a late dinner. We were not disappointed at all! Wow! Having grown up in Fort Smith it feels great coming home to another great restaurant in town. The food was sooo good. The oil / balsamic with garlic confit was offff the charts with the bread basket!!!!! The drinks were great and tasty. Loved the atmosphere and the vibe. Most of all, Vincent was our server and he was absolutely the best. He walked us through every part of the menu. Found out what our likes are and catered to us in such a loving and friendly way. He’s got a great story plus his charm draws you in. He brought the boys out complimentary cheese cake and kept delighting us in every way. Thank you Vincent. Thank you Prima Italia. We will be coming back. – Spence
