Cucina Rustica
This Sedona restaurant is set in the Tequa Marketplace next door to the Sedona Hilton.

It's the second eatery for the successful business partnership of Lisa Dahl and Andrea DiLuca, the owners and chefs whose eponymous first restaurant is in West Sedona.

Cucina Rustica's Old World style dining rooms evoke a rustic Mediterranean atmosphere with wrought iron chairs and chandeliers, antique wood doors, and a stone fountain.

A charming patio draped with wisteria and dotted with trees and brickwork is a perfect warm weather dining retreat.

Their menu features Mediterranean food with some dishes having a Southwestern twist.

Penne with grilled chicken and mushrooms in a chipotle cream sauce and Black Angus filet topped with a chipotle-gorgonzola cream sauce and served with roasted potatoes blend the ingredients of both cuisines.

You'll feel like you’ve been whisked away to Italy or the south of France with dishes like Arborio rice balls filled with mozzarella cheese and served with lemon caper aioli or seafood sautéed with Campari tomatoes, capers and fresh basil and served in a bouillabaisse style sauce over orzo riso pasta.

Vegetarian items include fettuccine with spring vegetables and pine nuts in a pesto cream sauce, grilled artichokes with a lemon pesto aioli, and eggplant layered with mozzarella cheese and basil and topped with marinara sauce.

For a sweet finish, there's nightly special desserts and after dinner drinks. Their wine list has earned them the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence three years running.

Cucina Rustica strives to use organic ingredients whenever possible and the chicken and pork are hormone-free.

Dinner served daily.

Address: 7000 Highway 179, NW, Suite 126A, Sedona AZ 86351

Marketplace Café

We'd driven by this Sedona Arizona restaurant several times without noticing it because it is hidden in the back of the Oak Creek Factory Outlets.

We recommend searching for it, however, because of its good food which includes a great mix of comfort food and healthy options.

The menu runs the gamut of salads, burgers, pasta, pizza, seafood, steak, and vegetarian items.

At lunch, you can choose from dishes such as the red rock Rueben topped with their own homemade Russian dressing or vegan Boca burgers. You can also get a few breakfast dishes too.

The dinner menu has some of the same starters, burgers, and pizzas as the lunch menu.

There are also entrées such as fresh fish of the day with your choice of sauce, steaks, baby back ribs, and the vegetarian felicitas garden variety - a medley of sautéed fresh seasonal garden vegetables, wild rice & black beans.

The owners of the Marketplace Café are veterans of working in Hollywood. To celebrate their interests, the interior has a Hollywood theme with photographs, paintings, and movie and television memorabilia on display.

One wall has a colorful three-panel painting depicting Hollywood's golden age of movies.

What makes Marketplace Café a little different from many other restaurants in Sedona is the variety of live entertainment.

There's something going on most nights such as live music, murder mystery dinners, wine tastings, and theme nights to name just a few.

We enjoyed our delicious grilled chicken wrap and apple walnut tuna salad sandwiches and the great sweet potato fries that came with them. We give this place two Oscars, one for good food and another for a fun atmosphere.

This Sedona restaurant has a small bar and patio dining is in front. Open for lunch & dinner daily.

Address: 6645 State Route 179, #C7, Sedona AZ 86351

Red Rock Café
Although set in a shopping center, this modest, locally owned Sedona restaurant is quite popular with the locals for its good American style food and friendly service.

The interior is bright, clean, and comfortable with a mural and the work of local artists and photographers on the walls. One wall has windows that give red rock views.

Breakfast favorites include veggie and cheese-stuffed omelets, biscuits and gravy, pancakes, blue corn huevos rancheros, a build-your-own breakfast burrito, and a variety of eggs Benedicts. Or try one of their 99 cent mimosas.

The lunch menu has burgers, a good selection of sandwiches, and a great mix of salads. Lunch favorites include the Greek turkey burger, veggie burger, and Southwest chicken fried steak.

The Red Rock Café is open for breakfast and lunch only. Breakfast is served all day. Take-out available. Reservations recommended for groups over 6.
