Dahl & Di Luca Ristorante Italiano – My Favorite Meal in Sedona! 🍝✨

This is one Italian restaurant that could easily hold its own in any big city! 🏙️🍴 With over 30 years of history as a fine dining establishment, Chef Lisa continues to innovate while also running several other local eateries — a true culinary artist dedicated to her craft. The restaurant features traditional, elegant decor and a romantic atmosphere, perfect for family gatherings or dates. 💖👨👩👧👦 Make sure to reserve in advance — and yes, there’s a dress code! 👔❗ Since we’d had a bit too much McDonald’s across the street earlier that afternoon 😅🍟, we weren’t very hungry, so we shared dishes for dinner. The salad was refreshing and appetizing 🥗. The beef meatballs came with a choice of two sauces — we went with the white sauce, which was aromatic and not overly rich. A portion of six meatballs offered great value! The lobster tail pasta was a standout 🦞🍝 — its flavor really suits the Asian palate! Though the lobster tail wasn’t huge, it was packed with deliciousness, reminiscent of spicy wok-tossed seafood from back home. The pasta itself had a perfect al dente bite — highly recommended! For dessert, the tiramisu was solid though not extraordinary 🍰, but they also offer a variety of gelato and sorbet flavors worth trying. We ordered a glass of wine 🍷, and with tip, the meal came to around $70 per person. The service was exceptionally thoughtful — our server even asked if we were sharing plates. During our meal, a small incident occurred: the trunk of our rental car somehow opened by itself outside 🚗❗, but the staff noticed, closed it for us, and even brought an iPad to show us the security footage (twice!) to make sure everything was okay. That definitely added to our positive impression of this place! 🤩 #SedonaEats #ItalianFood #DahlAndDiLuca #FineDining #SedonaFood #TravelTips #FoodReview #ArizonaFoodie #FoodieShare
