Cucina Rustica, Sedona AZ

My date and I could not have been more pleased with every aspect of our dining experience. The service we received from our waiter, Mango and his servers assistant Mark, being top amongst them.
As it was our first time dining there, we ask lots of questions and his thorough knowledge of the menu and excellent recommendations ensured this meal did not disappoint! Will be back to request Mango!

Nice restaurant on the way into Sedona. Prompt service and excellent food. Reasonable prices for a fairly nice pseudo Italian restaurant. I would be happy to eat there again. We came in with a large group of 12 and they accommodated us well.

As you enter the beautiful courtyard with ample seating for enjoyment in nice weather. You enter the restaurant into a beautifully decorated restaurant. You are greeted by staff and owner as you are taken to your table. The waitress who pleasantly greeted us and welcomed us was super friendly and knowledgeable about the menu, specials and drinks. Food was exquisitely delicious! I would highly recommend you come visit and have a great meal!

Came here last night for the first time! Gorgeous decor.
Our meal? Amazing!
Service? Phenomenal! Mango was friendly, knowledgeable, and professional!
He explained the features beautifully.
The gluten free noodles were perfect
Mark brought us water right away! And was quick to box remaining food.
I had the pistachio gelato for dessert, it was creamy and deeelish!
I will definitely be returning, as well as requesting Mango!

Pretenious, overpriced, mediocre. Antipasto, ok but not much for price. Soup Gazpacho - this was the best item. Salads expensive ordinary. Main course (a special) was not fish roll as described to us. Overcooked halibut chunks in nearly tasteless sauce. Wine list had no reasonably priced option or house wine. Wine we had was about the lowest priced at $60.00, but no better than box wine.
Server was good. Would not recommend this restaurant to friends.

I would like to start this by saying the food itself is 5/5. Great food. However, some things were very frustrating. I was told I had to remove my hat to eat in the dinning room. When I sat down I saw people in gym shorts and flip flops? But hats are over the line? Also do not order the pomodoro if you want to add shrimp. After adding shrimp it was a 34 dollar meal (14 dollar upcharge for 3 shrimp). Another pasta on the menu is priced at 26 dollars and comes with three shrimp. For a 14 dollar upcharge I received 3 shrimp so that does not add up in my book and seems like a cash grab.

Anniversary Night Celebration. I loved that you had to be dressed appropriately to dine in this restaurant. There were not a lot of children, so it was a peaceful meal. My fish was excellent, however Hubby's pork chop was dry and over cooked. Great Ambiance and romantic.

Was so excited to celebrate our engagement at this beautiful restaurant-had reservations had to wait then we get seated in a back room-there was absolutely no air conditioning working in there didn't even have a fan-we were legit sweating down our faces-no joke had to be in the 80's-we stayed & I have to say we should have left & go get pizza-my food didn't say anything about being spicy & it set my mouth on fire so I couldn't eat it- didn't stay for any dessert just wanted to get outside & breath air-I would not return to this restaurant again- the 2 stars are just for our waitess she was lovely

Food here is good, not amazing though. A bit too pricey. Service was nice too. Overall we didn't like the ambience. We were seated in the back room, by the middle of the dinner, we were alone there with very sleepy music.

I enjoyed the appearance of the restaurant. The waiters did there job but not very polite, seem like they did not want to be there. I ordered Ravioli's. Not warm or hot and there were only 4 of the Raviol's. For $30 give or take they could of head a few more. It was more like a appetizer. We had 10 in our group
Kind of disappointing.

Service and atmosphere was lackluster. I was particularly peeved that on a Saturday night, they would not seat us outdoors in their courtyard area, on a pleasant, clear evening, in one of the locations with the most beautiful night skies in the United States. No explanation was given as to why the courtyard was closed, and I couldn't fathom a good explanation given that the courtyard was **lit** and prepared for it (so no excuse for dark sky community allowed). They instead insisted on cramming all patrons into a single dead-air room, and that's particularly galling given the ongoing concerns over COVID-19.

The food tasted fine, but it's overpriced. The presentation is lacking and the portions are small, particularly for simple pasta-centric dishes.

Given our experience at their sister location Mariposa, my expectations were not very high. I have to say our server Sadie restored my trust a bit in the Dahl line of restaurants with her wonderful service. (Maybe she can train the servers at Mariposa! It was the difference between Night/day from first experience with Dahl's businesses)

The food was delicious, the atmosphere was very nice and the service outstanding.

Our party of 11 was told over the phone they would seat us all together since our parents were celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary. Upon arrival we were advised that they could seat our party at two separate tables located side by side, but not what I would call together at the same table. Their rules are no parties greater than 6 get seated at the same table. Keep that in mind when making your reservations. We went with the flow. It was a once in a lifetime celebration.

They did make it nice for my parents, their table had rose petals on it and they received a chefs choice free dessert.

I can't say enough about the service Sadie provided. I would recommend this restaurant.

Loved this place.it had been a while since we had been there and had forgotten how awesome it is. Everything from appetizer to dessert was just phenomenal. They also have a GF pasta (penne). We ended up getting the fra diavlo sauce and so so good.

I’d give this place a zero if I could but to all of my poc Americans, this place does not allow any non white person to dine in. I watched as the host refused to seat a black man and a Hispanic man but continued to allow white customers to come in and asked for their names while ignored the rest.its discriminatory and makes me sick.shame on you

Made a reservation for 1 and was not disappointed. From the beginning, the service was exceptional. I was accommodated quickly and the server did an excellent job of making sure i knew the specials.

I started with a Brutus Cesare and it was well made; next time I will ask for the dressing on the side as i am particular with salad dressing.

I chose the Garganelli Dox Quixote as an entree and was not disappointed. The sauce was extremely delicious and very flavorful; the only thing that could have added to this would be some bread to be able to clean the plate lol. That sauce was incredible and it was not spicy.

Definitely will return here in the future as the quality was superb and very conveniently located.

We dined there twice during our visit to Sedona, The staff was polite, and the food was very well prepared. Our first server, Brent, was excellent. Our second server was efficient, but not as experienced as Brent. My only criticism is that this restaurant is not friendly to Carb restricted guests. I know it is an Italian Restaurant - but as an Italian I know there are things that the chef can do to come up with a low carb choice or two.
