We’re always pleased when customers leave our restaurant with kind words for their meal, ambience and dining experience. It makes us feel that the long hours in the kitchen of our Sedona restaurants are worth it.

It’s an extra special pleasure when customers and professional reviewers take the time to post up nicely-worded reviews of their time with us on a social web site or review blog site. Seeing those posts helps us get the word out to more and more people to try our award-winning Italian food at our two Sedona restaurants Dahl & DilLuca and Cucina Rustica.

A kind reviewer at TripAdvisor wrote:
“simply excellent. Went here with friends who are local and very familiar, and it was a great choice for our last night out in Sedona. The ambience is so elegant, classy and inviting; the wait staff very helpful and friendly, and the food delicious. I had the eggplant parmigiana, as it is not something I typically order, but just knew it would be excellent there I would definitely recommend for a fine dining experience, you won’t be disappointed.”

Another example from restaurant review site Fodors reviewed Dahl & DilLuca with these fine words last fall:
“Andrea DiLuca and Lisa Dahl have created one of the most popular Italian restaurants in town: Andrea runs the kitchen, and Lisa meets and greets diners when she’s not making delicious homemade soups like white bean with ham and hearty minestrone. Specialties here include tortellini with a portobello mushroom sauce and pollo piccata (chicken in a lemon, capers, and chardonnay sauce). Renaissance reproductions and café seating give the impression of a Roman piazza. Make reservations or you may be seated at the bar—good food but far less romantic.”

And more recently, another happy customer wrote on Yelp.com:
“What a beautiful restaurant … its decor reminded me of so many old Italian restaurants back in New York. And upon entering you get the sense that you are going to be treated to classic Italian fare.. AND THEY HAVE RUFFINO!! We enjoyed a very romantic dinner here; there is a touch of Tuscany (WHICH I LOVE) that can be found here. This is a soothing dining experience, where a couple can enjoy a soothing conversation over a bottle of red, hold hands and smile. Soft piano music playing … utterly lovely. After spending a few days in Sedona which is so beyond beautiful, I suggest coming here .Our service was excellent as was our meal .And a beautiful memory was made.”

We are blessed and humbled to read such kind words about our efforts here at our fine restaurants in Sedona. Thank you all for your kind comments and we will continue to do our best to please your palate and tickle your food senses when you dine with us.
