They were great hosts. We originally planned to go to the Village Chophouse but they were rude since we couldn’t change our reservation (moving it to an earlier time). They closed the door on us since we were 10 Minutes late (and they had no patrons). Cucina Rustica welcomed us with open arms and the food, atmosphere and service was terrific. Two of us purchased steaks (filet and ribeye) and both of us agreed the steak was better than most steakhouses. Overall hands down one of the best Italian places I have ever ate at!

Very pleasant interior, exterior with Italian touch. Calm atmosphere where everyone can relax and try delicious dishes. And if you like a strong espresso, that is the place

Very charming location, and the service was 5 stars! I recommend the pork chops and daily specials. I enjoyed a blueberry pineapple margarita tonight.

No complaints on the Bolognese dish. I sat at the bar. Mat, the bartender waited on me. I was very surprised by how stale his personality is. When you're behind the bar, it's a given that you are to be friendly and interact with the customer. When I was presented with the bill, I had to have the general manager breakdown all these extra charges. What kind of shenanigans is this Lisa Dahl?!

Stopped by with some friends and had an absolutely immaculate dining experience. Our server, Isiah, was friendly and extremely knowledgeable of the menu, wines, and more. The coziness of the fireplace being lit accompanied by the music of Solomon..and the evening was magical. We were fortunate enough to visit on a night when Chef Lisa was present so we captured a photo. The parking, the proximity to reservation time, the quality of the meals, and the top notch service has placed this as my MUST visit if ever in Sedona. Every single dish that our group had was fantastic and the drinks were good too.

Loved this spot. Got one of their specials - frutti di mare and loved every bite. Pasta was a touch past Al dente, but sauce was flavorful and the seafood was fresh so I’ll let it slide! Licked my plate clean. You also can’t miss the artichoke beignets - really close to arancini and loved every bite. We loved the service. They sent us off with a sweet treat for our first anniversary, and scattered rose petals on our table. I love hospitality that goes above and beyond! This is the perfect place to celebrate something special!

Had such a great time celebrating my friend's 30's birthday. Luis was the best!! We felt so taken care of and the food was awesome. He took the time to chat with us and tell us about the area, so friendly and kind. Plus, they were so accommodating of my food allergies which made me feel so safe eating my delicious meal. Would definitely come back here again when I visit!
