The atmosphere has a certain bit of charm but at the same time is overdone and garrish. It is dark and almost gothic in its feel. The bar area is "closed in" and almost claustrophobic. There is a piano playing during dinner but it was so loud at times we couldn't talk at our table and several times we had... more

I hadn't been to Belle Arti in about ten years, but had very fond memories of it, so on our recent trip to Hot Springs we had to see if it was the same. It was our wedding anniversary and we wanted to do something special, and thankfully, it was everything I had remembered - first class all the way.... more

This is a wonderful addition to the restaurant scene in Hot Springs. The room is lovely, and the service was excellent. They brought us mini-bruschetta while we looking at the menus, and then some excellent fresh bread and pesto. I had the risotto, which was wonderful, and other had pasta dishes. The artichoke dip seemed to be freshly made, with... more

My hubby , mom & I had lunch here the day after Thanksgiving this year. It was fantastic. We had a couple of glasses of wine, 2 Caprese salads and 2 Veal Parm. dinners & an Eggplant Parm. dinner. Hubby also had a cannolli for dessert. The food was excellent and we got huge portions for each course. The entrees... more

Out of 4 entrees ordered, 1 person was happy, 2 were ok, and 1 was not satisfied. The service was pretty good. This is not really a place for children, although they do have high chairs. They had nice music by the piano player. It was over priced for what it offered. It would be a nice place for a... more

In a word YUK!!! The service was fine but not what you'd expect from a pricey restaurant. The food however was terrible. We sisn't even finish our meals. The Tortellini was way over seasoned and the Beef Medallions dish was a shabby version of beef stew. I don't mind paying more for great food, but do mind paying more fore... more

My husband and I ate there earlier this week for a little date night and it was spectacular! I had called to make reservations and when we got there we were taken directly to a table and were waited on very promptly. Everything on the menu sounded so good so our waitress made a few recommendations and explained the details... more

Excellent service. Good food. Friendly staff. I went for lunch today with my mother and her 95-year-old aunt. The staff was very helpful and attentive. The restaurant was not very busy because the live racing season just ended last weekend. Our server, Sally, was probably new on staff. She was not very knowledgeable about some of the menu items, but... more

My husband had wanted to eat here on previous visits to Hot Springs, but we never had the chance, so we went last Saturday night. We arrived at 6 (before the major dinner rush) and were quickly seated at a table for two AT THE FOOT OF THE STAIRS TO THE UPSTAIRS DINING ROOM. We were constantly being bumped and... more
