La Piazza Itallano Ristorante

Best Italian anywhere around Eldorado with such elegance and ambient lighting! That is, until you reach Roma Italian Restaurant in Ozark. :) Food (especially the manicotti) is to die for and staff is amazing!

I love Italian food and this is as close to authentic as it gets. The staff brings Italy to Eldorado Arkansas. The dining room is date night set; dim lighting, opera for static noise and a great selection of wines. Enjoy.

The service was great the food was delicious and the atmosphere was great, quite and pleasant, will be going back

Great service here. Everyone is really friendly.
They are offering dine in.
Could be great authentic Italian food but I feel like they take too many short cuts to save a dollar. I understand it is difficult right now with covid and they are not usually busy as it is.
The owners are authentic Italians I do believe but again due to trying to save money the food is just okay. We have had several pasta dishes. Been here 3 times. I ordered red clam linguini once and it was full of canned clams. Again it could have been great if it had 5 fresh clams in it instead of a cup of canned clams. The chicken in the pasta has a strange texture like it has been cooked, frozen and defrosted. The flavor is still good. The gorgonzola pasta tasted like lean cuisine primavera to me.
The best thing we have had is the marsala. It was really good. The shrimp scampi was garlicky and good also. The hot rolls are great too.
We want to go back to try the pizza.

It's rare to find such a quality authentic Italian restaurant outside of a large city, and El Dorado is fortunate to have this place. Nestled downtown right amidst the the burgeoning Murphy Arts District with quaint old world vibes this needs to be near the very top of your list when visiting El Dorado.
