Pastafina Italian Restaurant

This restaurant came highly recommended and it certainly didn't disappoint! Might be a bit out of your way given its location, but it's definitely worth the trip. I made a reservation to celebrate my mom's birthday and we were seated promptly and had great service throughout. I enjoyed the atmosphere which included a good amount of seating. And the FOOD. The portion sizes are pretty hefty, including the jumbo rolls, so be prepared, but I loved every bite. I had the lobster & shrimp ravioli. They didn't quite nail the shrimp but that's difficult to do...plus I thoroughly enjoyed the flavor of the ravioli and the sauce.A must try in Northwest Arkansas!

I wanted to love this restaurant so much. The vibe was very much a locals' spot, and the decor was cute and cozy. They had decent house red wine, and their Caesar salad was pretty good. Service was also prompt and kind. The reason for three stars is the pasta. Both our dishes were overcooked and mushy. And the sauce wasn't even as good as what I've bought at the grocery store. Disappointing to say the least. Glad we got a seat at the bar and didn't wait for a table.

So this place was so highly rated I was excited to give it a try. Sadly it is just not very good. The bread was fine, if a bit underwhelming (dinner rolls with a little parm on top). But it went kinda downhill from there. The pasta obviously was not fresh and was overcooked and bland (and I think they actually broke the spaghetti in half!). The sauces were heavy and, like the meatballs, quite bland. (And, no, sauce bolognese is not just meat sauce and alfredo stirred together.) Nothing was inedible, it was served hot and on time, and the service was good so 3 stars--but I can't give more.

The service was fine, and the restaurant is cute, but my lemon caper sauce for my pasta was broken. That shouldn't have been served like that. Husband didn't enjoy the flavor of his pasta dish. Not at all worth what we paid. Will not be returning.

Do you love pasta. Do you love hidden gems? When was the last time the texture and flavor of food meshed amazingly?Look no further than Pastafina. The food is spectacular. The service is amazing. The owners walk around and make sure your experience is spot on. Reservation are recommended because it fills up fast. The bread rolls are huge. The dipping sauce is unique. Like a balsamic vinegar with a great seasoning. The stuffed mushrooms are divine. The lemon cake is chefs kiss. This is a perfect restaurant for a date or family get together.

The food is very good. We love to get food to go and split an order of pasta trio between myself and my wife. Lots of great food.

It is over the top. Excellent service and most excellent food. Very very tasteful and filling. Will returnOmg they gifted us a limoncello cake to die for

Probably the best restaurant in Arkansas! The caesar salad was very good and fresh. Calamari was delicious- not overly fried or chewy. The shrimp and lobster ravioli was AMAZING! Everything came out piping hot. Our server Savannah was a sweetheart and had the best recommendation. The atmosphere was great. They had Italian music and very cute decor. We want to go back and try every dish!!

Talk about a GOOD dinner. Pastafina is literally off the beaten path tucked away in its own little area with great views and the cutest dining room. You are greeted with homey decor that makes you feel like you are sitting at a family members dinner table ready to enjoy a great meal. The service was lovely and very attentive. The real home run however was the food. I was so nervous when I initially saw the portion sizes because I was worried that the quality would not be good, I was WRONG. The bread service is delicious! Order a side of Alfredo sauce to dip your bread in, it will blow your mind. For my entree I had the chicken Parmesan. The chicken was cooked perfectly. The noodles and sauce were balanced and had great flavor. I was blown away by how amazing it all was and I can't wait to go back again!

Ambiance is always wonderful and the food tasty! Enjoy it every time we go! Thank you
