Bella Vita Ristorante

Bella Vita Ristorante is the Italian dinner house at Sedona Pines Resort on the far west end of 89A, two miles past the last stoplight toward Cottonwood, which keeps it a regulars’ place: two indoor rooms, the Red Room and the Gold Room, a patio that is among the largest in Sedona, an indoor fireplace and live local musicians on weekend evenings. Executive Chef Rafael Garcia runs the kitchen, and the restaurant describes itself as the number one Sedona restaurant on TripAdvisor, a claim we could not verify ourselves.
