Great tasting food and bread with the dip they provide! I got the shrimp paste with mushroom and stuffed mushrooms as a appetizer. The food was delicious beyond words! Other then that the place was empty which isn’t bad no wait to get a table we just had to wait for someone to notice us waiting to be seated. That a side its a must try Italian restaurant, you won’t be disappointed!

Delicious Food
We had the spinach artichoke dip for an appetizer which had plenty of sauce for dipping. Ce out bubbling hot.
Husband had tossed salad with Caesar dressing (tastes homemade and delicious) and the side meatballs which were moist with lots of sauce.
I had the sampler with lasagna, manicotti and ravioli. Hot and flavorful. The knot rolls and dipping oil was really good also. Not a lot of garlic in any of it which is good. I would definitely go there again. Place was clean and the waitress was very friendly.

The staff was amazing and the restaurant was very clean. So let’s get down to why I gave this restaurant only 2 stars. The food was awful. Its was not authentic Italian food at all. I tasted like it was made from a jar or frozen. So because of that I would definitely not recommend this restaurant. I was very disappointed because it showed it had good reviews. So if you’re looking for authentic Italian food made fresh this is not the spot for you.

This is a culmination of our last few experiences as we came back to give them a fair second chance. To begin with, we’ve been fans of this establishment when they first opened. In the beginning the food, service, and atmosphere was top notch.
Recently my wife and I stopped in like we often do. I ordered a Franks salad and she got the tortellini alla panna. Her dish was satisfactory. I tried to put the oil/ vinegar dressing on my salad, and the vinegar was having issues coming out of the dispenser. I opened it up and a black sludge came out with the nozzle. They replaced the vinegar and I finished my meal.
We tried them again tonight, hoping to give them a second chance. The wife got the soup and Caesar salad and I got the Franks salad again. The vinegar was solidified in the bottle and it smelled off. I had the server to replace it for me…
The wife was less than impressed with the tomato, basil soup. It was bland and watery. Her Caesar salad was a house salad instead. She picked over her food for about 10 minutes. At which point I still hadn’t gotten my vinegar dressing. When it finally arrived, I had made up my mind I wasn’t hungry any longer.
She ate half of her food. I didn’t even touch my salad. I paid for the meal and made up my mind I won’t be back. Sorry Franks…I’m sure Antony would be displeased.

The atmosphere and service were great, but the food lacked flavor and substance. The only good thing was the bread and dipping oil. My husband’s chicken fettuccine Alfredo had chicken that was crunchy and overcooked and not even blended in with the meal. The Alfredo sauce was watered down and flavorless. We should have known when we went in and there was no one else seated in the entire restaurant.

I enjoyed a late lunch with my friend at 2:30 we had the place to ourselves. The service was excellent! I had not been here in a few years and had high expectations from my previous visits. I was not disappointed. The bread is always great for a starter. My friend ordered the stuffed mushrooms and said the were really good. They had bell pepper so I had to skip tasting them. For our mains he had the pasta trio (fettuccine Alfredo, stuffed manicotti, and a small piece of lasagne). I enjoyed the tortellini alapana. The sauce was a delicious silky, creamy, tangy blend paired with a cheese stuffed tortellini. The only thing I would add/change is the beverage selection. This location is Pepsi products only, but the sweet tea is nice.

Recommended by hotel staff, the food did not disappoint!! Inside could use a little TLC, but friendly hardworking staff more than made up for it. Reasonably priced as well.

I ate here 3-4 years ago and really enjoyed it and wanted to come back but not in the area often. I had lunch yesterday at 2:00 with only 1
Other customer. The facility is nicely done, very clean and inviting. Service was courteous and prompt. I ordered the tomato basil soup and beef ravioli. A side of bread came with the meal. The bread was excellent, soft and great flavor and the dipping oil was very good as well. The soup was very good, nice flavor and seasoned well. The beef ravioli had a very good marinara sauce and the raviolis were tender and full of meat. The portion size was almost more than I could eat. The amazing part of all this is the cost was under $12! I don’t know a better value anywhere in Arkansas. I look forward to visiting again when in the area.

I was visiting the area for the weekend and came here to eat dinner the night before the Fort Smith Marathon. The wait staff was very attentive and friendly. The food came out super quick! Everything tasted great. I ordered the tortellini Alla Panna and added grilled chicken. I also got a cannoli to go.

This may be the worst “italian food” I’ve ever had in my entire life… save your money. No flavor at all. I can’t stress this enough. Save your money.
