Vegan Menu - Edit
When we approached the porch to enter the restaurant, the owner greeted us. All the staff were so welcoming and friendly. The view was amazing. There is a full vegan menu. I had the vegan steak and roasted vegetables. It was great. The restaurant is located in a quieter part of town. We found a parking spot near the restaurant.

The vegan options are fantastic!! - Edit
They serve Chunk steak items had the 8oz steak one day and the Philly the next. My wife had the fried chickun sandwich both times. We loved it! The service was great and the food was the best I’ve found in Sedona so far.

Flavorful and Impressive Selection - Edit
Loved this restaurant! There is an entire plant-based menu with vegan fried chicken, impossible burgers, empanadas, Mac and cheese, and more. We sat outside in the shade which was cool and a great vibe. I had the sweet chili burger on a sesame bun and the green chile empanadas. 10/10

Mixed experience - Edit
They have a separate vegan menu and wide variety of options. I had two of the vegan empanadas and fries. My food came out lukewarm, which was disappointing, because it was otherwise good. My server was very helpful but the kitchen was also quite slow. I will go back because the positives outweighed the negatives and there are a lot of good vegan options.

The BEST vegan sandwich - Edit
I had the most amazing vegan sandwich here that I’m honestly still dreaming of. It was the Colombian fried chick’n sandwich with a fried chicken patty, cheddar cheese, cream corn & yuca chowder & fried sweet plantain - soooo good! They have a whole plant based menu which is lovely to see. They also have live music!

First vegan steak - Edit
I had my first vegan steak here. It tastes like the original Boca burger. It was 8 oz. The meal came with some roasted vegetables. It was good enough to try between 3 people. We really liked the vegan lasagna. They have lots of vegan options.

Very delicious vegan options - Edit
I was surprised to find really delicious vegan options here. Usually nonvegan places don’t have that good vegan food. But this place surprised us. They had a lot of vegan options and we liked all the food we ordered. The Jambalaya and the vegan steak were our favorites.

Tasty and fun - Edit
I had fun with the empanada flight and vegan lasagna. I had side of Mac and cheese and rustic fries. Both were great. My husband enjoyed the buffalo chikn sandwich on GF bun. My favorite was the desert, vegan Mango Tembleque - which is a custard similar to flan or creme Brule.

Ask for Jason! - Edit
Such a great experience! Full, delicious menu and our server(Jason) was vegan and an experienced chef!
Read moreHe treated us so wonderful and knew all the best go-to options. And he surprised my son, the birthday boy, with an amazing dessert. Not too sweet or heavy…just perfection.
I failed and didn’t get any photos of the food and don’t remember names. But, please, take my word for it and check this place out if you have a little extra to spend for an amazing meal.
Pros: Great service, Delicious food, Lots of options

Bland - Edit
I ate here a couple years ago and loved it so was happy to return. I got the Columbian fried chicken sandwich and my partner got the empanada flight. Everything was pretty flavorless. We weren't checked on the whole meal so we didn't get the fries that they forgot until the end of our meal. Those were comped for the wait which was great. I took half of my sandwich home and didn't end up finishing it at all bc my stomach was in pain. Won't return another time unfortunately.

There are options - Edit
We ordered empanada flight, Mac n cheese and lasagna. Personally I wasn’t a fan of the empanadas or lasagna. The lasagna had a layer of a faux meat which I thought was odd. I was expecting crumbled, which might have been ok. Disclaimer: I am not a big fan of faux meats. For the empanadas the onion/potato and mushroom/spanacopita were ok, but again something seemed off with the no beef one. My husband ate it just fine.
Read moreThe Mac n cheese was good. Definitely ooey gooey with cheeze. They didn’t top it with smoked paprika or chives, which would have made it better.
Pros: Vegan options clearly marked , Host was very helpful

10-12 vegan options!! - Edit
Wish I could give it 5 stars but that is reserved for 100% vegan restaurants on happy cow. Been in Sedona over a week and this is by far the best food we have had. Our server was very attentive(which seems to be rare in Sedona) and recommended the vegan chik n sandwich which was absolutely delicious!! We will definitely be going back to try some of there other vegan options(about 10-12). Whether you’re vegan or not you should definitely go here. Thanks again for the wonderful service and phenomenal food!!

DO NOT EAT HERE. - Edit
DO NOT GO HERE. THE CHEF/OWNER IS ARROGANT AND HORRIBLY RUDE WHO DOESN’T CARE IF HIS GUESTS DON’T LIKE HIS FOOD. My husband disliked his order and we both tasted it and had to spit it out because it was horrible. The owner called my husband a kid who didn’t have good taste and refused to take his meal off the bill. I refused to pay for something that was too fatty and tasted horrible and we didn’t eat. He said it’s not his fault that we don’t have good taste. He made a huge scene in front of the entire restaurant making us look like the bad people. I was horrified at his mannerisms, his lack of empathy, his lack of compassion and lack of respect. He was downright obnoxious. Also apparently his burger has won many awards over the years so I had to try it. It was decent but not award winning in my opinion. On the other hand we ate at Butterfly Burger a few days prior and had their award winning burger. Not only was that burger truly award winning and one of my favorites that I’ve ever had, the service, ambiance and food were all PHENOMENAL. Good luck keeping your doors open Dellepiane with a chef/owner who can’t listen to his guests or respect their dislike of his product. I was horrified to say the least. It’s one thing if your food is mediocre but it’s an entire other thing if your owner/chef has absolutely no respect or regard for his paying customers experience. The owner argued with me for 20 minutes over a sandwich that he refused to take off the bill and refused to listen to us when we complained about it. He also made a HUGE scene in front of the entire restaurant saying he doesn’t take items off the bill and it’s not his fault if we didn’t like it. Also he asked if I was a “Karen” and called my husband a child with no taste, whom he didn’t even meet cause he was waiting for me in the car. I have worked in food service for most of my life and have trained food staff in an award wining food service program and I am grossly appalled at this man’s behavior regarding his guest dissatisfaction. I’m shocked they are still in business.

Unique and extensive vegan offerings - Edit
You don't frequently see vegan empanadas on the menu, let alone multiple different kinds! They definitely stole the show and were absolutely delicious. We also enjoyed the Colombian chick'n sandwich. Apparently, the owner is from Argentina and that's where the restaurant was originally located before they moved here. It's not common to find an Argentinian place with vegan offerings, let alone extensive and thoughtfully prepared ones, and this was well worth the visit. Probably our favorite meal on the whole trip! Service was very friendly and cocktails were great too.

Best meal of vaca!! - Edit
My family has been traveling through CA and AZ for the past week, and this has been hands down my favorite meal so far! I got the vegan empanada flight with a side of vegan mac and cheese. I cannot say enough about it! I’m not usually one to go with mac and cheese because I am pretty picky about my vegan cheeses…. This was spot on for classic mac!! The empanadas were light and crispy on the outside, so tasty on the inside!! Hard to say which was my favorite!! The meal left me satisfyingly full. The rest of my family is not vegan, and they all very much enjoyed their meals as well. They had ham/cheese empanadas, Cuban, and Buffalo wings. Do not skip this place when you are in town!!

This is one of my go-to spots for vegan food as well. I am chef at VeggieEAT a few blocks away - but it’s always nice to have something different- and not have to cook it myself 😅. I might give the V Empanadas another go but I was extremely underwhelmed; and I wouldn’t say I was even close to a picky eater. My date took a bite and spit it out in her napkin. I didn’t complain but I just told them that they aren’t for me and that I would stick to my favs. You Absolutely MUST try the Columbian Vegan Chicken sandwich and the V Lasagne…. I have been back for them at least 10 times and I’ve only lived in the VOC for a few months.

Delicious - Edit
Lots of options. We got the lasagna, Mac and cheese, empanadas, and chicken nuggets. The lasagna was our favorite. Empanadas were edible but disappointing. Mac and cheese pasta was over cooked but sauce was terrific. Not the best vegan meal but great options and would come again. Good beer menu too😄

Great vegan menu for burgers - Edit
I like that they have a full vegan menu. My favorite are their vegan chikn sandwiches. The yuka fries are really good but really oily. Also they have some vegan deserts sometimes. I just make sure they don’t serve me the wrong one, if they say - have a vegan and none vegan brownie.
