"With us being from Chicago to call this Italian is a travesty. I review every place I go anywhere. reservations party of There out of gnocchi and steak on a Saturday night. Ordered Carpaccio meat partly frozen (they didn't allow to warm enough to thaw) in the middle and the just drizzles some mustard mayo, no quail egg,capers, tiny couple pieces of cheese. Beet salad with honey walnuts,goat cheese, balsamic. was served without nuts. Asked server retrieved the nuts. Caesar salad was ok but the crouton was so hard it took hands to break it in half. it was inches long. The ravioli was tasty very small portion. The pasta my wife ordered she asked for no tomatoes, the server stated they can't it's all prepped in advance. Well when her plate came it had pieces of tomato in ie well large enough to have taken out. So either the Chef (or none chef maybe just kitchen help choose to be lazy or really doesn't care. So my plate consisted of meatballs, sausage spinach and alfredo (which they did not have but said they could make it). I asked for this because I can not eat pasta. So when dropping the food I had no utensils my wife needed cheese for her pasta and butter for our bread. First of all do not order any sausage it was the size of breakfast sausage and tasted nothing like it. The meatballs ARE not made from scratch. They had the taste and texture of prepack hi salt heavy filler meatballs. Then desert ordered of a cookies and cream ice cream and our server came out with raspberry and said were out. take it away then. We went to the Nashville location and were very disappointed. Decided to give the west location a shot. If your pallet is well trained on all levels of food flavors from sliders to beef wellington. This place will not fool you. To all others you'll never notice. This place should have stars."

"we were looking for a restaurant that ran lisa dahl and we tried to come in mariposa and no luck. this was the next option and we were not released! the inner was decorated old world. we loved one of the dining rooms that had the starry sky. we ask to be in this room next to the visit in sedona. our waitress was amazing. cocktails- we started with a house made limoncello spray. that was refreshing and exactly what we wanted on a hot day. appetizer- artichoke beignets: really delicious. Extra savory and tasted not like artichoke (ten enjoyed them and did not know what was in us we had ordered another to share with our group! curry cauliflower (or sweet) suppe. it was the suppe of the day and it was amazing. it had so full taste and was very exotic. we would have eaten it again and again. entrees- 2 of us ordered the special fruittta del mare fruits of the sea and it was a wonderful pasta dish with tons of seafood. yummy! tortellini deal bosco- we will order everything with truffles! rich, creamy and everything they want in a comfort pasta dish. would eat again! lisa’s luscious lasagna- it was luscious! the soße had a beautiful acidic tomaten and they could say it was homemade and a secret recipe. it was made with love and you could taste it! the cheese was creamy and a beautiful fresh balance. one in our group ordered the angelica. that was a bright pasta with large garnels. of course we saved space for the tiramisu! it was incredible and had a thick layer of kakao espresso powder. be careful and make sure they look down on the top. the puder. hahah. we had a few laughs. the cream of tiramisu coated our mouth and thought us more. we shared this with 5 people and we all bite a few. overall, if we always keep in sedona at one of lisa’s restaurant. it is always worth the money, because the quality is there! many thanks again lisa and her personal for such a great meal! we're coming back!"
