geraldi's

bestitalianin fayetteville. massive portions for a low price. try the calzone, it's my favorite!

great homemadeitalianfood! after eating there twice, geraldi's is quickly becoming one of my new favorite places to eat. the spaghetti withitaliansausage was terrific, the pesto spaghetti was great. we topped it off with cannoli, which was scrumptious. everything is homemade and fits right in to the unassuming décor. also a great beer selection. the owner is very friendly and really enjoys socializing with the patrons. he told us about his mother, mrs.geraldi who came to america as a young girl. mr. geraldi also told us this was the 37th location he had opened (there are locations in arkansas, oregon and florida) and it's easy to see why he has been so successful. do yourself a favor and make this your next meal.

it's hard to go elsewhere for pizza once you've had geraldi's. you won't find a bad pie on the menu and theitaliandesserts are a great way to round out your meal. quality ingredients make even the cheese pizza a taste explosion. don't pass this one by!

it would be great if you could bing back the chicagoitalianbeef was the best thing there and i am from chicago so i know!

this is some of the bestitalianin arkansas. the pizza is incredible and the meatballs are to die for. everything here is good pizza, pasta, sandwiches, deserts.... all of it!

great place in the city. it's a smallitalianpizza place. the waitress was nice and friendly. we stopped by for lunch. we ordered a large mama mia pizza. the sauce has a rustic taste to it with loaded fresh toppings and a good even bake on the pizza, brought tears to my eyes as i took a bite of one of my top 3 best pizzas i haven ever eaten. great place to check out and it was reasonably price. totally recommend this place!

one of the bestitalianrestaurants i've eaten at! loved how big the portions were and how high quality the food was. the lasagna is to die for! highly recommended.

the bestitalianfood in nwa. i've been here more times than any other restaurant in fayetteville and i'll continue to come back. bestitalianin northwest arkansas and the best food of any in fayetteville. if i need a place to take family or friends, this is most likely the winner.

most underrated spot in fay. in my opinion this has to be one of the best if not the best eatery in nwa. food is always on point, while not being overpriced. here's my go to order:
start with the antipasto- its basically a big salad with some rolled up meats and cheese's, great to split (ideal for 4) works for 2.
if your in the mood for a sandwich i like theitaliangeraldi, or the meatball. if its dinnertime and your wanting something more appropriate its hard to beat the calzone.
i always get a bottle of chianti because im a lush and it feels right drinkingitalianwine at anitalianrestaurant.
overall rating- a. place is solid, top to bottom.

topitalianrestaurant in fayetteville. anti-pasto, sandwiches, calzones, ny style pizza's.... and an incredible pistacio gelato. great prices as well, a must go.

great.. got the chance to try this place yesterday after putting it off for forever - after all cheapitalianis always a worrisome topic. geraldi's is a sneaky littleitalianjoint nestled down one of those roads you probably rarely go down unless you live on it or went on it for the sole intent to get to geraldi's (or perhaps wes's). not a terribly big place and the interior is certainly nothing special (honestly the giant median in the middle kind of kills the restaurant flow). it was a tough choice between one of the delicious sounding sandwiches and one of the noodle dishes. i opted for the safe route - spaghetti with meatballs. the portion was huge. the noodles were all well prepared (but did have that "already made" flavor to them) and the sauce was very, very good. the accompanying garlic bread was more buttery than garlic-y, but still enjoyable as an appetizer. the meatballs were a wee bit mushy, but still had a nice flavor (though could use a little extra spice). service was very fast and the waitress was especially friendly in both greet/departure and table side. overall, if you're seekingitalianfood then you won't find better in fayetteville (especially for the price and portion). my only complaint is the additive meatballs were basically a dollar a piece and not very generous in size. i look forward to visiting again and trying out more of their selection!

hidden fayetteville gem. basic, solid, well-priceditalianfood. not the overpriced "fancy" stuff that the chains try to pedal. the owner is a nice guy who will often come out and chat. ask him about off-menu stuff he can whip up for you.

excellent, excellentitalianfood. definitely a diamond in the rough restaurant.. everything i've eaten here (pasta, pizza, and salads) was delicious.

just went for the first time today, this place is the bomb.com. owner is incredibly nice, atmosphere is fantastic and myitaliansub was delicious. one of the best eats in fayetteville, i created an urbanspoon account just so i could write this review. go eat here!!

best food in town...hands down. my picky kids love the pesto spaghetti and my favorite is theitaliangeraldi sub. we never leave without a pizza to go either. we always have such a great experience at geraldis. i would highly recommend this restaurant especially if you have kids. it's very family friendly.

disappointed. i just ate at geraldi's with my mom. our meal started off with stuffed mushrooms and a caesar salad. the stuffed mushrooms were not extremely flavorful but were good. the caesar salad was interesting and not necessarily in a good way. the salad did not have a lot of flavor and in my opinion not a true caesar salad. our entree was the chicken alfredo and again did not have a lot of flavor. i would compare it to a store bought pasta from the freezer section at walmart. i told the waiter that we didn't care for the pasta and his reaction is what disappointed me the most. he defensively asked me over and over what exactly i didn't like about the meal. i understand him asking but he was a little to pushy making me very uncomfortable. then to top it off he then went back to the kitchen and yelled to the cook that i didn't like the meal. i was considering coming back to try their sandwiches or pizza because i have heard that they were good, but after the way the waiter reacted i will not go back. i have tried plenty ofitalianrestaurants and in my opinion geraldi's is not anitalianrestaurant.
