Cucina Rustica

The restaurant is so beautiful, I must say the focaccia, it was perfect, spongy, warm saturated with olive oil. The Polpette in mushroom sauce, outstanding, it was the protein exactly I needed to recover from running up & down Grand Canyon for 14 miles. The tortolloni in lemon sauce, I never had tortolloni that good, the Doug super thin, very soft, with shaved veggies. This is the place I’d plan for my anniversary, so beautiful and I’m getting hotel next to it next year for my running races, so I don’t need to drive round abouts. But even the drive to the restaurant is so scenic. Lisa’s restaurants are so beautiful.

Focaccia taste and looks like Texas toast! Not authentic We dined here on Valentine’s Day and were really looking forward to a special experience. With Chef Lisa Dahl dining with friends on the same night, we expected the service and overall attention and service to reflect that level of presence. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case. Our server- Laura, informed us that the tortellini and pastas are imported but did not provide any additional information about where the food is sourced or the background of the dishes. For a restaurant at this price point, we expected more knowledgeable and engaging service, especially regarding menu details and ingredients. Overall, the experience felt overpriced for the quality of food, service, and atmosphere. We had higher expectations and left disappo

Where do I start? A sleeper hit is the hot tea. It's all specially blended individual sachets. I enjoyed a Sedona Sunset herbal blend. The filet mignon is incredible. I'm very particular about steak and this checked all the boxes. The service was attentive but never rushed. The live music was delightful and calming. A great place for special occasions or any day you want to make special.

Delicious food, attentive staff, lovely atmosphere, yes-a bit pricey but absolutely worth it (in my opinion). I visit a few times a year with special friends or family or on special occasions and I'm happy to pay for the quality of the entire experience. My daughter is in town visiting. We stopped last night looking for a special drink and ended up buying appetizers and shared an entrée. Phenomenal!! I absolutely recommend Cucina Rustica!!

I love Cucina Rustica in Sedona! The ambiance is warm and romantic, the service is excellent, and the antipasto was delicious. But the real highlight was the Linguine alle Vongole — perfectly cooked and full of flavor. They also have a great wine selection that pairs beautifully with their dishes. Highly recommend for a memorable dinner!
