During our recent trip to Sedona, we stayed at a timeshare that is located behind the Hilton Sedona Resort & Spa just off of Hwy 179. That said, we had done all of our Yelp Homework prior to the trip, so Dahl & Diluca Cucina Rustica was one of the ""starred"" establishments on our list. :) We made it here on the Monday before Christmas, just after a long trip to the Grand Canyon...
We all started with the Insalata Misto, which had a great dressing - light, a little hint of sesame oil and soy, delish! Our group consisted of 5 people, but we only had 4 entrees (2 of us had the same thing):
(1) Linguine Vongole: This was the dish that was ""doubled-up"". :) It was definitely one of the better vongole preparations I've had. Just the right amount of white wine and a LOT of garlic. Did I mention I love garlic? (and it's good for the heart... ha ha)
(2) Linguine Papolini (sp?): The easiest way for me to describe this dish is that is was the house version of a carbonara sauce. It was really good! The ""house carbonara"" included prosciutto, mushrooms, and scallions in a light cream sauce. Definitely not as heavy as some carbonara interpretations I've had.
(3) 3 Homemade Sausages: My brother-in-law had this dish, which included 3 different types of sausages - I think they were chicken, lamb and veal? They were so good, the rest of the table only got a chance to have a small taste!
(4) Papardelle Paradiso: I think that's what the dish was called, except the description of the ""Paradiso"" sauce does not match what was on the table. It was more of a meat sauce, which is not what is described on the website, under ""Tortellini Paradiso"".
Our waitress was friendly and accommodating, and the other members of the wait staff were quite pleasant as well.
