We had a great dining experience at BV's Italian Kitchen! Our server, Shane, was friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. We had ribeyes which was the special for the night and the meat was cooked to perfection and the seasoning was absolutely delicious, which only added to the flavor of the tender meat. This new chef is amazing and I can't wait to return. read more

Food was excellent. The chef David came out and introduced himself. Excellent.. Our Server Joanne was so kind and took wonderful care of us. Their sangria are yummy and their Cannoli's are out of this world. We cannot wait to go back. The ambience makes you feel like your on vacation in Italy read more

This review is based on 2 lunch visits. First off, the name is being changed to Capone Eatery and sports bar. The atmosphere is very elegant and upscale feeling. The service is fantastic. The first time I got the burger.. I can't remember the name, but it was someone "in a coffin". It was decent, but not anything special. Fries were okay. Second, it was the fettuccini Alfredo with shrimp added for an up charge. Good shrimp but the small portion of pasta was surprising. It was again decent. After I left I thought about it and was pretty sure the menu said it came with bread. I didn't receive any. My bad for not being thorough. 3 stars for food but an extra star for the overall vibe and service. read more

5/5 Service is always great. It's quick, good friendly attitudes and reliable. Never had an issue. 4/5 Food is good! It's not the best Italian in Cottonwood, but definitely delicious enough to keep returning. We've been a handful of times. We prefer going to Nics on Main St. BVs version of linguine and clams was disappointing. Other pasta dishes are good. Husband loves their basil tomato soup. They have great deals during the week and their bar menu is also decent. Easy and free parking lot. Moscato in Camp Verde is top notch, by the way. Pricey but very, very good Italian in the area. read more

Place was sooo mid from the service to the food def needs more seasoning even salt, it's like they're trying to copy Lisa Dahl but didn't even come close it's just like the knock off version wannabe Italian food read more

New chef not so good, ordered Salmon medium rare; cooked well done on top of sloppy mashed potatoes.

1st time eating here since the new executive chef David Moraga started running the kitchen. Shared a coconut shrimp appetizer followed by Melanzane Romana and BV's Signature Salmone. Best eggplant dish I've ever had. Salmon was perfect. Love the decor. Definitely worth 5 stars. read more

We had a reservation for three, got our drinks and bread, very good bread!! Our server came about 10 minutes later to take our order. We went this past Friday night 8/21/ 26 a little before 5 pm. We got our caesar salads and my dad got the soup, the best caesar I ever had! We waited and waited for our food never came. The server then came by about 1/2 hr later and told us we could have a dessert on the house, yay I said. Another 1/2 hr went by still no food, we wound up leaving an hour and 45 minutes later. To me this is totally unacceptable and I was really looking forward to my dinner I ordered the flat iron steak with asparagus and finger potatoes. Never have I ever got to order flat iron steak in a restaurant before. I am very disappointed as well as my parents, we may never have enough nerve to go back. Sincerly yours a disgruntled customer!!!!!!!! read more

Hubby and I enjoyed a late lunch. Nice Italian decor and quiet ambience. I had the soup and salad with bread, and hubby had the sausage sandwich. Ordered a margarita which was delicious! read more

Decided to stop by BV's after work today at the recommendation of a friend. And man, this food did not disappoint. I ordered the meatballs as an appetizer, and the fettuccini Alfredo with chicken as my entree, Caesar salad as well. Food was flavorful, and very fresh with wholesome ingredients. The service was on point, appetizers arrived quickly, and as soon as I finished those, the entree was placed before me. Everything was great. Will definitely come here again! Can't wait for them to open for lunch so I can go on my lunch breaks. read more

We ate at BV Kitchen tonight and were delighted with the quality of the food since the new Chef David Moraga came on board. Everything was delicious! Bread, tomato basil soup, eggplant parmesan, salmon, garlic mashed potatoes, coconut shrimp, caesar salad. The service was great too. I'd give it 4.5 stars. read more

I stayed at Lux Verde hotel and this Italian restaurant is attached to it. Love the decoration, love the light ambience, warm, relaxing, love the food, and the service is exceptional. You feel welcomed, greeted by the servers. In my trip to see Sedona AZ, this is my favorite restaurant. read more

Absolutely amazing service and the food could not have been any better that it was tonight

I really loved this restaurant with the original chef, it was busy crowded and had a variety of options. I went there a few weeks ago bringing a friend thinking it was the same, I was so embarrassed it was completely empty on a Friday night, the menu was sooooo limited i had hardly anything to chose from. what I received was sub par compared to the food before. I asked our awkward but sweet waitress she said there's a new chef and they are working on a new menu. Ok then what's with this bad menu with no choices and very overpriced food? If you are "working" on a menu then either shut down or stay with the old one dont print out a crappy selection just to stay open. A year ago i would have given them 4 stars now it's zero. Idk I hope they pull it together and maybe get rid of this annoying chef and his bad menu. Either go max or not at all this just felt so weak and as an Italian the food was just as weak as the offerings read more

Delightful experience. My Aunt and I were in town because my Uncle had gone into hospice care rather suddenly. We went to dinner early on a Thursday evening because we were both drained. Our waitress was wonderful, best Cosmopolitan cocktail either of us had ever had, and the food was delicious. My Uncle has since passed away so unfortunately I doubt we'll be back in Cottonwood anytime soon, but this dining experience was the best part of the trip. Highly recommended. read more

Ambiance was dark and cozy. Service was friendly and top notch. The food is elevated Olive Garden. $17 for all you can eat soup or salad with a pasta entree. My favorites were their soup of the day - potato cream with beef and the linguini carbonara. They do a better cream sauce than red sauce imo. Portions are generous and we waddled out after dinner. read more

BV's is no longer our favorite restaurant. Thursday night was a huge disappointment for our group. It was in celebration with a family member's birthday. There were 8 of us. The restaurant was not busy. We had what appeared as a new server who tried hard and followed all protocol but with no help from her co-workers. We were charged extra for more bread and at the end of the dinner we were charged a separate check fee, service fee, and credit card fee plus, of course, the bread. Our ticket was double what we paid just a couple of months ago for the same exact food. What is up with the other workers? They stood around while she struggled. The food was not as good as before and it took us two hours to finish our meal. The birthday boy was gone by the end of the meal. Very disappointing for all of us. read more

Modest prices for delicious food, friendly menu. Gracious host. Interesting atmosphere read more

An amazing experience! Everyone from our server, Laura to the woman who sat us down and the gentleman at the bar - they greeted us with smiles and kindness. We had: Melanzome Romana, Pasta Primavera, Minestrone Soup, Caesar Salad, Kids Spaghetti. Every dish was absolutely delicious! I'm just sad I didn't have any room for dessert. I have no doubt that would have been amazing as well. The restaurant plays light uplifting music and has this beautiful warm ambiance. The perfect place to go to for a family dinner, dinner with friends and/or with that special someone. Thank you for an amazing experience! read more

The menu advertised is not available. Only about 8 entrees. Reason stated. Owner change. Service slow. Alfredo sauce was "souplike". Not open for breakfast as advertised so the $20 voucher from the hotel as advertised doesn't exist. We won't return. Only here for the railroad excursion. read more

I waited awhile before trying this place because it was getting a lot of hype...a friend and I went a couple of weeks back for lunch and I have to admit I wasn't too impressed. First of all...the lighting was so dim I had to use my phone flashlight to read the menu. Secondly, while we were seated quickly it took forever to see a server. My friend went to the restroom and returned before the server came to the table. Additionally, the decor is pretty upscale, like trying for fine dining, but honestly during lunch that's not appropriate unless you've got hours to sit around leisurely enjoying lunch. Not practical for the regular employee looking to get in and out. Anyway, I ordered the Chicken Florentine sandwich, which was good. The chicken was tender, right amount of spinach and cheese and served with waffle fries. My friend had the lunch capellini pomodoro (angel hair marinara essentially) and the serving size was adequate for the price I'd say. He wasn't overwhelmed with it as a whole, but said it was good. His was served with a small piece of bread. We were offered dessert which we declined but the server told us the tiramisu was the best and strongly recommended it. I asked if it was made in house and it's not! Apparently it's imported from Italy but wow...would've expected that to be homemade. I'm sad to say I most likely will not return again unless I'm invited. Really was hoping for a good win here.... read more

I've been here twice since it opened. I've also dined at their other location Sedona. This place is top drawer all the way. It almost feels like an Italian eatery in NYC. They've done an excellent job of creating intimate dining spaces surrounded by warm Tuscan decor. The food is right up there with the best of the best Italian fare I've had over the years and I've had a lot of it, both homemade and in restaurants. I had their chicken parmesan during my first visit and it was well prepared and presented. The sauce is smooth and flavorful. The chicken was tender and moist. One of the best I've had. At my most recent visit we celebrated a couple of family birthdays so we had a large party - around 15. We were seated in a semi private alcove that felt like our home dining room. Our server named Anthony was on top of everything. How he did it is amazing. He was attentive, friendly and genuine. He even admitted he was a bit nervous serving so many at one table. The bartender Salvatore (Sal) is right out of a NYC bar. He makes excellent Manhattans and other classic and new style cocktails. His bar is well stocked and a cozy spot to have cocktails and appetizers. I absolutely love this place and plan to return regularly. The prices are very reasonable. The portions are generous but the most important thing is the food is extraordinary. read more

I've been their guest for years and everything was fine. Until a couple days ago when I ran into a problem with them. I ordered food for take out for my family that has kids (it's important). We ordered a steak, pasta with mushrooms and chicken and deserts, in total $90 and tips. Since we pick it up late, we went home and left it for the next day. The next day my husband starts eating and feeding a toddler with pasta and after a few spoons he finds a cooked bug in it. After finding this surprise he had to throw away everything (the rest of pasta, my steak that was waiting for me, and deserts). I called the same day we found a bug (which is the next day of the order being placed). Spoke to Mark (whoever gave me my order, he sent all the info to his boss), then boss called me the next day offering $50 gift card. I refused because for me it's a useless resolution. I am not ordering more food with bugs, plus I lost $90 and being offered $50? Kind of weird. I told him that this resolution benefits them but doesn't resolve my issue and asked for a refund. The big boss said his policy doesn't allow him to make refunds. Trying to show he cared about my as a client, but I explained him that you care when you resolve clients issue, but not with a useless resolution. I don't need a gift card, there is just no sense. Then he said "why would I refund money if you're not coming back to our restaurant?" And that's where I said he cared about his business not the clients. He didn't care. It was only $90 for them but I kept the bug with a box, the receipt and going to send the complaints to our local health department and since that food had meat another complaint goes to USDA Food safety and inspection service. The bug was not that frustrating as how they handled the situation. We always had $100 and over checks and tipped the crew. This is fair to take care of the client's problem ones to keep at least positive experience but I guess they don't understand that their business lives because of clients. Now, for sure I'll never go back. read more

The food, cocktails,service and ambiance was magnificent! Just what I needed for my Birthday!

Brand new awesome restaurant alert, opened December 2023!! This is the 2nd location of the popular and highly rated Sedona Bella Vita (BV's) Ristorante - Located at the Lux Verde hotel with a side entrance is an Italian gem you must try! I am regretting not getting any food pics and didn't think of looking them up on Yelp until the table was cleared, but our food was wonderful! I did take lots of pics of the menu and a few of the interior. The service by Anthony was great, it's busy already, they have a killer lunch menu where 3 of us got different variations of the soup/salad/homemade focaccia deal for $11. Fresh grated Parmesan was tasty too! read more

Don't be fooled by location, attached to Lux Verde Hotel. Beautiful interior, great ambiance of fine dining. Food was very good and service excellent. Had lasagna and calamari. Both very tasty, served with delicious focaccia bread. Half price bottle of wine on Sunday. Reasonably priced menu, good variety. Attentive staff. read more

I ordered to go yesterday for the shrimp pasta specifically the Gamberi Shrimp signature plate. Unfortunately by the time I got back to the hotel, I realized they forgot to put the pasta in the dish. It only had shrimp and sauce but someone forgot the pasta itself. Food was great at least what was present but would have been nice if pasta was there since it's a pasta dish. Someone not paying attention to their work. Staff were friendly just need to pay more attention to details. read more

The ambiance is beautiful but dead silent. I mean not a sound is made in the dining rooms. It's eerie and makes me want to crawl out of my skin. Otherwise unfortunately the food has almost zero flavor. My family is Sicilian Italian so I'm used to real Italian flavors. Here the flavors have been lessened so much so that older people can handle it that it tastes like fancy cardboard. The servers don't know the menu which has presented a few problems. The one thing I do recommend is the deserts. They make the filling for the cannoli from scratch and it's delightful. And the pistachio gelati is more nutty than any I've ever had. So good. So it's worth popping in for at least, a dessert! read more

Faith was our server and she was very helpful with what was vegetarian or not. The food was very good. We had egg plant Parmesan with angel hair pasta on the side and a very fresh salad that was just the right size and NO iceberg lettuce. The desert was to die for, very decadent. We even ordered some to try at home later. We went for our anniversary dinner and they made a sparkler candle to celebrate. Our anniversary is July 4th but we were celebrating a day early because of other commitments. They knew it was our anniversary but not that it was July 4. It was great!! The quiet ambiance and low lighting made it a real treasure for us! I highly recommend them for any special occasion you may have. We definitely will return!! read more

I called two days in advance for a party of 10 for lunch on Nov. 20, I spoke with Marco. When we arrived they did not have a table ready for us, they had to search for our reservation, eventually finding it. When they seated us, it was in the bar. They had pushed three round bar tables together, so those of us along the sides had our backs to the person next to us. Very poor seating arrangement. I let Marco know before I ever sat down, that I was not happy with this arrangement. He said absolutely nothing. Six of the ten of us had the soup & salad, the other four ordered regular entrees. When the soup and salad arrived, the soup was barely lukewarm. Our server did NOT bring the bread, we had to ask for it. It took at least 20 minutes before the other four entrees arrived.. Those of us with soup & salad were all but finished by then. I cannot speak for the rest of our group, although there were lots of negative comments, but I will never again set foot in this restaurant. This was the third time I have been there, the food was never good, but our treatment, and the mediocre food this time has sealed my resolve. read more

Came here for dinner while on vacation. Waited a good 20-25 minutes nobody came over to take our order. The Bus boy gave us water and bread and asked 2x for doe one to come over. ( not his fault) The hostess didn't even try and stop us when we told her why we were leaving, read more

We have eaten here many times and have had good food and experience. The last few times the service was poor, very slow, and the waiter, Marco reached across my plate to get another dish and then stood there waiting for me to finish. We ordered and another table who came after us received their food before us. My wife had the fish and it was smelly and overdone. So disappointed because we enjoyed this place in the past. read more

Okay at best. I will not recommend this restaurant at all!!! read more
