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!

Each entree was delicious, fresh ingredients and prepared very well. Amanda divided perfect service and the band trio played great tunes. It was an enjoyable experience in every way. We split an eggplant parmigiana and then we had a sea bass and the veal saltimboca and all three were delicious.

Vincent was our server and we had the absolute best experience. This was probably the best experience I’ve had in a restaurant in the fort smith area!

Great food. Had an inexperienced server but he did ok.
Great ambience. When making reservations we were asked and so noted that it was our Anniversary. In fine dining establishments that is usually acknowledged with a little dessert or something. Not a reason to eat somewhere but a gesture is remembered. We will go again and hopefully their service will reflect the beautiful ambience and good food.
