In their 36th year of owning restaurants in Northwest Arkansas, Todd and Nickki Golden still show no signs of slowing down.

With Chef Todd in the kitchen and Nickki running front of house, the husband and wife hospitality team stay busy running four restaurants. Their newest addition, Isabellas Italian at 1400 SE Walton Blvd. in Bentonville, opened in early November and is a second location to the original Isabellas in Fayetteville. The couple also runs Mermaids Seafood Restaurant and TJ’s Sandwich Shop, both located in Fayetteville.

The new Isabellas’ space in the Bentonville shopping center used to house a Whole Hog Cafe, and the design transformation is notable. The 5,500-square-foot space has an intimate feel, with two rooms for private events. Elegant white-cloth table settings are surrounded by upscale modern decor and furniture.
