We had a group dinner here and basically ordered the entire menu to share amongst the crew. Everyone enjoyed the meal, we thought the pasta was good, everything felt fresh and nothing set heavy. Our only feedback/recommendation is to have some better Italian wine offerings to pair with the food.

Our dinner at Cura was such an unexpected surprise! We were in town for the weekend and having trouble finding a place open for dinner on Halloween. I crowd sourced on reddit and someone suggested I try reaching out to Cura. I spoke with Mia on the phone and booked us a reservation for 7pm. They do not currently have their own space, but they are temporarily inside of Bentonville Provisions. It’s a small husband/wife operation with a limited menu, but even with a small menu it was hard to decide what to order. We ended up getting the salad, meatballs, agnolotti and mushroom pasta. All of the food was cooked to order and because there was only one other table when we arrived we could smell our dishes as they were being cooked. It was pretty wonderful. My only regret is that we weren’t able to try all four pastas. Hopefully they will have their own restaurant space the next time we come to town!

Some of the best food I’ve eaten! Everything we tried was delicious. All of the staff were knowledgeable and friendly. The food was very fancy but the overall atmosphere was a bit more casual; you could come here dressed up or dressed down and not feel out of place. The menu is small with several vegetarian options and is divided into 4 types of courses. You should expect to order at least 2 courses because the portions are smaller. We spent about $30 per person not including wine.
From the menu, we tried a scampi antipasto, pesto lasagna, gnocchi with braised beef, and a poached peach dessert, all of which I highly recommend. However, the standalone best dish of the night was the special, a lemon ricotta raviolo. I cannot exaggerate when I say it was the most well-balanced, mind-numbingly delicious thing I have ever eaten. I can’t stop thinking about it. It was a single raviolo, about 4 inches in diameter, in a butter sauce, and had a very rich, orange egg yolk in the center with the ricotta. Each ingredient was clearly added thoughtfully and balanced to perfection. I will be eating this raviolo in my dreams every night for the rest of my life. Thank you, thank you Cura for the experience. Please keep your chef forever!

Excellent food. We ordered three of the four pastas on the menu and started our meal with the mozarella, salad and beets. Everything tasted amazing. Highly recommend this gem of a restaurant!

I am obsessed with this place. The food is phenomenal—truly some of the best I have had in NWA. Everything I have tried so far has been delicious and super fresh. The service is also wonderful. Mia is super sweet and the chef clearly knows what he is doing. Plus you can bring your dog!! Check out Cura asap. You won’t be disappointed!
