Frommer's Highly Recommended

A faux-Tuscan villa interior, complete with a bar in a grotto, makes this the most romantic restaurant in Sedona, and the excellent Italian food makes it that much more unforgettable. Be sure to start with some of the pane romano, which, as far as I'm concerned, is the best garlic bread west of New York's Little Italy. Pasta predominates here, and portions are big. I like the linguine Siciliana with calamari and mushrooms. The kitchen also serves up a panoply of deftly prepared seafood, chicken, and vegetarian dishes. The eggplant Parmesan and portobello alla griglia are real standouts. Keep in mind that during the high season (spring), this place stays packed with tourists and service can, at times, be brusque.
