You'll find lots of American comfort food in this part of the country: barbecue restaurants, steak houses, and burger joints predominate. If you're looking for something different, Sedona and Flagstaff have the majority of good, multiethnic restaurants in the area, and if you're craving Mexican, you're sure to find something authentic and delicious (note that burritos are often called "burros" around here). Sedona is the best place in the area for fine dining, although Flagstaff and Prescott now boast a few upscale eateries. Some area restaurants close in the slower months of January and February, so call ahead. Reservations are suggested April through October.
Chef Michelle Jurisin traveled to Italy to learn how to make Neapolitan-style pizza before opening her celebrated restaurant in Old Town Cottonwood. Try the Funghi mushroom pizza or keep it simple with a traditional Margherita with hand stretched mozzarella and fresh basil. When weather permits, ask for a table on the patio or near the bocce court.
