Overall score 3.3 out of 5
The staff is very friendly, and our waitress was great 5 out of 5.
Location is great
The food was ok. For example, the Caprese literally had tomatoes connected to the vine not cut and a piece of cheese on top of four tomatoes with one tomato on top of it. Lol.
The crème brûlée and dessert was very subpar.

Tavola Trattoria in Arkansas has a delightful patio vibe. The outdoor dining area is perfect for a relaxing and enjoyable meal, with a pleasant ambiance that certainly enhances the dining experience. Good food and a nice variety of options!
We've visited here multiple times, and each time the chicken lemon cutlet has been a delight. The chicken is consistently cooked to perfection, and the addition of lemon enhances its flavor beautifully. The fettuccine meatballs with cream sauce are simply impeccable. The spaghetti meatballs, with their al dente texture, expertly complement the savory meatballs, and the thick tomato sauce brings everything together.
This place is an amazing gem. I went here because the menu looked amazing and was very reasonably priced. I was in bentonville for a concert that night and me and my son loved every single thing about our meal but to make it even better they serve this bread and bread salsa well I’ve never had bread salsa in my life but I’ve been really missing out. We will be making monthly trips up that way just to stop in for some delicious food great staff nice atmosphere.
Best bread I’ve ever had at a restaurant. The complimentary bread was unique and delicious! I highly recommend the bruschetta as well. We had the malaras special (? Maybe a little off on the title), salmon, and lemon cutlets.
Any Italian restaurant that also boasts “all you can eat brunch” is definitely a cause for concern.
The wait staff, hostess, and manager were all extremely polite, friendly, and professional. I cannot applaud their service any more.
The food, however, fell a bit flat. The bread for the table came with a side of smashed tomatoes, basil, and olives. However it tasted mainly like olives, little to no tomato flavor was present and the basil only showed through when I picked it out of the sauce and ate it by itself. I had the mussels and Ossobuco as my main course.
The muscles were delicious, and the bread served along with the muscles was good as well. It’s hard to mess up muscles, and they definitely did not. The vegetable/sauce left over was perfect dipping sauce for the bread in place of the olive tomato mixture.
For my main course I had the ossobuco. The veal was cooked to fall apart tender, which, in my opinion, is the best and only way to cook a veal shank. It was served over risotto, which was quite bland. I’d did not detract from the veal but slightly more flavor in the risotto would have been desirable. It was also ever so slightly undercooked. The vegetables that were served with the veal shank were over cooked mush, and this texture was rather off putting in conjunction with the already tender veal.
Potentially other dishes here are a winner, but the ossobuco didn’t hit the mark.
The atmosphere was okay, however the cement wall in the dining area lacked charm and only gave the dinning area an industrial feel.
Once again, I applaud the wait staff and hostess. They did an amazing job.

This place is definitely one of our favorite family restaurants. My daughter is a fan of meatballs🔥 and cheese🔥 pizza, my son a fan of pizza Giovanni , we enjoyed the family size Ceasar salad, Bruchetta 🔥, pasta Marcelo's, and to top it off with coffee and a Tiramisu.

Went for Sunday brunch. We didn't know it was brunch, but it was until 1:00pm. I really liked the menu, it's AYCE for $20 per person. Everything we had was really good, except the chicken parm sliders. The brunch menu is split into 2 sections and it's small plates for the most part. There's a pizza on it which was great, but it was large for "small plates"- I'm not complaining! It's just easy to over order and don't want to waste food. Poached egg carbonara, pancetta quiche, a whole plate of bacon, waffles, potatoes, champagne folded eggs. Really good scones too. At first I was disappointed that it was brunch and not their regular menu, but after trying so many dishes it was such a delight! And very reasonable. Definitely will go back, there's something for everyone. UPDATE: went for dinner a few times, pasta mirabella was good, lasagna was just ok. I don't particularly like foccacia bread, but they'll give you some. Tasty cesar salad!
