Business Overview:
Established in 2006, this charming, family-owned restaurant serves authentic Italian cuisine that is unrivaled in Benton County! There are no other independent establishments offering a true Italian dining experience. This restaurant offers all the delights of a family owned eatery, from the waiters dressed in black and white with long bistro aprons, to the smell of tantalizing foods emanating from the cozy kitchen.
Founded by emigre brothers who have owned several successful Italian eateries in New York City and Philadelphia, this restaurant has received local critical acclaim for the authenticity of its Italian fare. The menu offers a range of pasta, chicken, veal and seafood entrees. This establishment also has a full liquor license. Frequented by big-city transplants and locals seeking “the real thing” – like delicate cannoli and grilled calamari – this restaurant is located within easy driving distance of Wal-Mart corporate headquarters and attracts regular patrons from surrounding residential neighborhoods.
Independent eateries of this kind are hard to find in Northwest Arkansas, whose recent economic boom has attracted the likes of P.F. Chang’s and Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse. This restaurant is steeped in old world Italian tradition, and has become a popular choice for catering corporate events of up to 55 people. Its proximity to Walmart’s global headquarters has attracted a loyal following of business travelers who come for the homemade cuisine and warm, friendly atmosphere that makes everyone feel like family.
