    Comfortable, quiet sit down restaurant with cloth napkins and silverware. Very appealing upon first impression. The hostess went over some of the menu items making recommendations. On her recommendation, my friend and I tried the vegetarian lasagna. Joe, our waiter was excellent, professional yet friendly. The lasagna was the best vegetarian lasagna I have eaten and as a vegetarian, I've eaten vegetarian lasagna at many restaurants. My friend and I agreed, the red sauce was perfect; not at all acidic with just a touch of sweetness. Layered with sweet ricotta, spinach and mushrooms - topped with shaved cheese and fresh basil. Delicious! You won't go away hungry. We plan to return while we're here in Sedona.

    Cozy and romantic

    I'm surprised this place was not packed on a Saturday night. Very romantic small restaurant to the side of Spoke and Wheel at Los Abrigados. My husband and I had 2 vouchers from an unfortunate mishap from the resort, so we decided to try it, as it looked more upscale than Spoke and Wheel. We gambled and won. As we were the only customers in the place (it was about 7pm on Sat), customer service was very attentive. My husband ordered an old fashioned, very tasty. I ordered a malbec and it was excellent. They have a bunch of awards on the walls for their wine so I recommend trying it. The food was great. We had the crab cake appetizers and the elk and buffalo meatballs (not terrible but wouldn't order again). We had the lasagna and salmon entrees for dinner. Delicious! We will return again. Our server was even cool with our 8 month old baby and brought her a side of pita bread to munch on.

    Gorgeous seat and wood menus.

    I made a reservation at Timo and mentioned that we were in Sedona celebrating our anniversary, requesting that if they had a nice, private table, we'd appreciate that (we made a 5 PM reservation because that translated to 8 PM EST, so we figured it wasn't too much of a dick request/move). When we came in and mentioned our name, the host made a point of telling the waitress the specific table to put us in, despite the empty restaurant, and then told us it was the best table in the house - right in front of the huge fireplace. It was gorgeous inside with dark wood, wine bottles, and the glowing fire - more gorgeous since we really had the whole restaurant to ourselves. Our server was wonderful - I wish I had her name because she deserves recognition, but she was so sweet and accommodating, and really made our celebration special. We started with wine (red for me, white for bf), as all good meals should begin with. We then focused on carbs, ordering the English popovers (a MUST order, they were amazing), the warm Timo bread (I told you, carb focused), and then... bruschetta (the apple, fig, and brie as well as the tomato, brie, and basil). We held on to a menu, and our server suggested we not order anymore until we saw the amount of food that was going to come out. All of our appetizers were incredibly prepared, came out hot, and were delicious - we couldn't finish, so they were boxed up (which, after continuing to order more wine, became a delicious buzzed snack for later!). Since carbs alone do not make a meal (though they could have) we did order dinner as well. I was pretty full, but felt a veggie was a good choice, so I ordered the crispy kale Caesar salad (which is crispy - the kale is basically kale chips; it's an awesome recreation of a regular salad!), and BF ordered a steak entree, which he said was perfectly cooked. The ambiance, quality of food, and positive/attentive servers really helped to make our night such a special one. I wish there was a Timo in NYC, because it would become a regular rotation. Some of the Yelp reviews had me concerned of potential food poisoning or issues, but the experience we had at Timo was truly 5 star.

    Timo has a very nice and quiet atmosphere with a decent selection of wine. I ordered the ribs and my husband ordered the rib eye steak. The ribs were not only tasty, but they were falling off the bone! My husband"s Steak was cooked as ordered, medium rare and very tender. We had a choice of asparagus or chard, I ordered the chard which was cooked in a vinaigrette and my husband ordered the asparagus, both very tasty. The service was accommodating yet unobtrusive. The new chief's culinary skills are excellent and he should do well here. The only thing missing is the dry aged steak which was discontinued by management. This place must be a well-kept secret since they're not very busy.

    Filet Mignon

    I've been to Timo's in Phoenix, so I decided to check out the Sedona location when I was visiting the area. It's one of the restaurants located inside the Abrigados resort. It had a much different vibe than the urban location in Phoenix. For a Friday night, the restaurant was pretty empty at dinner time, which made it feel really quiet. But, it was nice to not have to wait for a table. I started with the French onion soup. It was delicious and a very generous portion. For a main course, I had the Filet Mignon. The steak was tender with a nice char on it, and cooked well. The sides were disappointing. The mashed potatoes were cold and tasted like they needed to be heated up. The asparagus was just ok. I was bummed that the espresso machine was broken, so I couldn't end the meal that way. The service was friendly and accommodating of my requests. However, they seemed a bit overly formal for the atmosphere and my taste. There are so many good spots in Sedona that I probably won't go back to this one for a while, but still really like the Phoenix location.

    Our second visit to Sedona, but our first visit to Timo, and it was awesome! Our waitress was so nice and outgoing, excellent service! The food was delicious, beyond my expectations! When we arrived we were told the menu had recently changed from what you see on Yelp reviews, but the new one was still great! Must try!

    Last night my wife and I had the extreme pleasure of eating here. It was an absolute delight! The warm, relaxing and inviting interior set the tone for the culinary delights we were about to experience. I had the aged NY Steak and my wife had the Ostrich Meatballs. Both dishes were beyond belief! My steak was supported by a generous serving of Baked Mashed Cauliflower and Shallots sautéed in port wine and then grilled. Fabulous! The Ostrich Meatballs were resting in a delightful and flavorful sauce that made my wife squeal with delight. The service was impeccable and we can't wait to get back. We won't hesitate recommending Timo to any of our friends and family. Bon Appetite!

    Wine tasting
    Stacia D.

    This place I had mixed feelings about. We went for my mother-in-laws bday. They say on the sign both out front and where you see the hostess for reservations that they have wine tasting. When they give you their menu, it says nothing about it. The menu has an ok variety of wine selection both by the glass and by the bottle. The prices vary in all price ranges. I asked the waitress if they did wine tasting, and there is another menu (I guess you have to request) that you choose 2-4 wines they will bring you a 1 ounce pour of. 3 out of the four did this which ended up being a nice way to try different things. We ordered a cheese board to share, along with some melon, and fresh baked bread with pesto and citrus buttered ordered smaller entrees. I ordered the lobster bisque soup, which was WAY too salty. We sent it back, couldn't even eat it. We ordered dessert 3 baileys Irish creme creme brûlée which they torch table side. It was pretty good. On the menu it says they have candles available for a birthday, but when we asked they were out. Overall the service was good, the wine was good, and the food was ok.

    Glazed salmon
    Kara S.

    Timo deserves a solid four star review for serving some delicious meals and providing excellent service! We came in on a Thursday night looking for a nice meal that was slightly upscale. They have a pretty good wine list from what I could tell and our sever was knowledgable. We started with the English poppers and butter. I have never had these so I cannot compare but they were good. Very eggy custard type consistency that served as a good starter. For my meal I chose the glazed salmon with corn and edamame. It came with a side of mustard sweet vinaigrette that was surprisingly complementary! My boy had the steak with kale and potatoes and said he was very pleased. For dessert we had the recommended churro pie that came topped with Nutella, caramel, ricotta, banana, strawberry, whipped cream and ice cream. The dessert was ridiculous in that it was huge, sweet and tasted amazing! We left feeling very full, well served and happy. The only reason I failed to give five stars is that the menu is not particularly original. While the cooking is well balanced and done to near perfection, the combinations could be expected at a typical steak house or new American style restaurant. That being said, I would still highly recommend Timo and plan to return whenever visiting Sedona!

    Crab Cakes
    Joseph R.

    Made Reservations for me and my family for Saturday night- walking in we were worried it was going to be a bad experience as the restaurant was dead. Maria our server was wonderful- we had the roasted vegetable platter, crab cakes and filet- everything was AMAZING!!! To finish it off we had the best peach cobbler I have ever had- I wish people knew how good this place was- we will definitely be back!!

    Kurobota pork chop.  Off the hook!
    Lee F.

    First time at Timo. I think it's fair to say they they exceeded my expectations. Ordered a Sedona Restaurant Week 3 course meal (bruschetta, a scallop, prawn, NY strip combo and mocha tres leches ) and a regular entree the kurobota pick chop. The Combo me was very good but the pork chop stole the show!

The setting alone is unforgettable -- stunning red rock views, plenty of seating, and an atmosphere that somehow feels both elevated and completely relaxed. Whether you choose indoor or outdoor seating, the experience feels thoughtfully curated from start to finish.

Fresh is an understatement here -- every ingredient tastes vibrant, intentional, and beautifully sourced. Even the vegetables somehow steal the spotlight. The menu is creative without trying too hard, and everything feels like edible art while still being deeply satisfying. The pizzas are phenomenal, especially the peach pizza, which balances sweet, savory, fresh, and smoky flavors perfectly. The hamburgers are equally impressive -- juicy, flavorful, and clearly made with the same level of care as everything else on the menu. If they have specials running, order one. Trust me. This is the kind of kitchen where the chefs know exactly what they're doing. Hands-down one of my favorite restaurants not only in Arizona, but honestly anywhere. Sedona already feels magical, and this restaurant somehow elevates the experience even more. Absolutely impressed from beginning to end.

Food: (5/5) The culinary team at Bella Vita deserves immense praise. The food was the absolute highlight of our visit--truly outstanding. Every dish, from the fresh, flavorful pastas to the yummiest gnocchi, was executed perfectly. The quality and taste alone make this restaurant a must-try. I would 100% recommend it for the taste and quality of the food. Customer Service & Experience: (2/5) This is where the experience fell short. The operational challenges began before we even arrived. Since online policies didn't allow a single reservation for our party of 9, I had to book 2 separate tables. I called the restaurant, leaving a clear voicemail after being routed through an AI, to merge the bookings. Despite this effort, the host at the door seemed visibly put off and surprised by our party size, giving a rather rude impression. The most significant issue occurred during the meal: "We ordered a large family salad, which inexplicably arrived AFTER we had finished our entire meal and the plates had been cleared. We were charged for this untouched $20 item that arrived after our dinner and we returned" Adding insult to injury, the server asked if we wanted to keep or box the salad, and it was ultimately charged to our bill!!! For a restaurant at this price point (already expensive, plus a 3.5% credit card fee and a flat 20% gratuity for large parties), basic customer service dictates that a mistake of that magnitude should be acknowledged with an automatic waiver of the charge as a courtesy. To be charged for an untouched item that arrived too late was a major put-off. Final Verdict We ended up with a $300 bill for a table of five adults and four young kids (no wine or alcohol). While I absolutely don't mind paying for quality, I expect the overall experience--food taste, atmosphere, and customer satisfaction--to be harmonious. If you are a serious foodie willing to compromise on the service experience, you will love the kitchen's offerings. If polished, attentive service is equally important to you, be prepared for potential disappointments.
