Owned by a trio of talented chefs, the menus at Prima Italia were developed to offer patrons authentic, contemporary Italian cuisine. The highest quality raw ingredients, such as eggs from Happy Egg based in Rogers, AR, who also supply Michelin starred restaurants in New York and Los Angeles, are used to create fresh pasta daily. The pasta is made using equipment by Imperia & Monfeṙṙina imported directly from Asti, Italy. Breads are sourced locally from Harvest Moon Bakery.

We are excited for Fort Smith to experience our cuisine in this beautiful space!

    my waiter was top tier, He kept my drink filled, he explained different options on the menu, he explained to my husband exactly how his meal would look. His demeanor is very friendly yet professional and I appreciated that ,, he needs a raise!!!

    We frequent Prima Italia often to enjoy some of the best in dinning that Fort Smith has to offer. The chiefs prepare excellent cuisine and seasonally change the menu. The servers are very attentive and are quick to resolve any issues. The bartender is more than capable of mixing specialty drinks to suit our particular taste. We especially enjoy the live entertainment that is sometimes provided on Thursday evenings and the decor is first class. Prima Italia is just a great dining experience.

    Service was excellent. Lobster ravioli was disappointing. $42 for six small pieces of ravioli. $7 per piece is a little excessive. Ambiance was great, live music was a tad loud but not too bad. Our server did a great job. Other items were more reasonably priced, but lobster ravioli was a bad choice.

    Steak was average and over priced. Lasagna was warm at best. Nice atmosphere but too many people being loud
