Pizza and pasta are the menu at 111 Main Street in Jerome, Arizona. Pies come out of a stone fired oven, the pasta is made in house, and cocktails are mixed to order. The kitchen is open to the dining room, so you can watch the pasta being shaped while you wait. Doors open at 11 in the morning and close at 8 at night, every day of the week. Call (928) 639-8477 for a table or to ask about a larger party. The website lists the menu. Hours are the same all week, which makes planning a stop simple.

An Italian restaurant in Jerome, Arizona. The dining room opens at 11 in the morning every day. It closes at 8 at night Sunday through Thursday, and at 9 on Friday and Saturday. The website is the place to look for the menu, for prices, and for any notice about a holiday closing. Arriving before the usual dinner rush makes a table easier to get in a small town where seats fill quickly. Hours can shift around holidays, so a check before a special trip is worth the minute it takes.

Coffee and gelato are the draw at 111 Main Street in Jerome, Arizona. The shop is open every day from 9 in the morning until 4 in the afternoon. Orders can be taken away, which helps if you would rather walk the hill with a cup in hand than sit down. The space is wheelchair accessible. Use the website to check the menu or send a question, since no phone number is given for the shop. Because it closes in the middle of the afternoon, plan a stop earlier in the day rather than after dinner.
