Great Italian food in NWA, plus the annual Grape Festival in Tontitown.

Cal is going to love it here.
Tavola in Bentonville is top tier
Vetro and Isabellas and Giraldi's in Fayetteville
Napoli's in Rogers
I know it's considered 2nd tier now by some, fair, but the Venesian Inn in Tontitown has legacy status.
for pizza, Guido's and Bariola's (same family) but tons of other places for great pizza in NWA
Grape festival each August
Welcome Coach Cal

I doubt Cal eats cafeteria food

You do realize he is East Coast Italian?
Lexington had several "family" places in town if you knew where to look. Not a coincidence that both Little Ricky and Cal wound up at UK.

I've had that food. It's amazing. Just like ours.

Napoli's is always good.

I’ve eaten at Guido’s… it’s decent.
Have you checked out Cappricio’s in Rogers? I was very impressed actually. Great Italian food.

Wait - did that dude just get off the river and started stirring the red sauce?
Come get it before the evening topwater bite!! (Triangle banging in background)
I love my state! The rest of you are doing it wrong.

You telling me NWA has a place like the place in Little Italy in Philly with no signs and takes only cash? If so, then I will say they are the same. If not, I call BS. Even so, guessing they do not have the market, bread joint, and pastry joint to go with them.

I come to NW Ark for work about 4 times per year… was there in January. Ate at the Preacher’s Son and Cappricio’s. Both were great.
I’ll be back next week.

That's why I'm rabid anti-war my friend

I can not have catfish, bacon, crawfish, gulf shrimps, stone crabs, lobsters, and such. Hence I can never be a Muslim or a Jew. I can play it safer and chew the wafer but if I get to the afterlife, God can't fault me for not loving all his children with equal affection.
Being old school (pre Vatican II nun whippings "Fear of God" type) Catholic at least I can do real Irish wake's for two weeks straight (and all the drinking, fighting, and fornicating that goes with it) and hit confession and come out clean as a new born babe. Plus, the Spring fish fry's are just icing on the cake!

I'm only 2% Italian or less, so I'm not qualified to know anything in that regard
our two counties are almost 600k now, so I imagine that includes about 40-50k ethnic Italians, some of who would know the secret spots and back rooms where Coach Cal and his wife will be treated like family.
I love your question actually because it's got me wondering where to ask around for the bread you're talking about. We can buy marinara from certain friends here anytime, but they won't give out the recipe.

THE bread place in Philly is basically a door near the other places. Took my cousin (Irish side of the family) there when I was visiting. Told them to set the alarm for 5am and hope we got bread. They did not understand till we got there late (like 6am and a line down the street was already in place). Drove back by about 7 or 7:30 am on the way to the Jersey Shore to meet up with their siblings. Place was already closed for the day.
My cousin had to admit the bread was awesome but did not understand the Italian way. They start baking around 3am and when they sell what they made for the day, they close for the day. Cash only and hot out of the oven!
