I know, I know, it’s not Sedona…. However, if any locals or visitors are in Cottonwood, you have to try Saverinos! It’s in the Food City Plaza and the best lunch we have had in a long time! We’ve gone out a few times recently in Sedona but I don’t want to post … not good things. Saverinos is family owned , the BEST meatballs and sauce I have ever had. You can just look at the Italian sub and see, it was crazy delicious. We never have dessert, but a chocolate chip, pistachio cannoli?! That was so delicious also.

Checked out the new 3D miniature golf place located in The Hillside Plaza on Route 179. It’s Sedona-ish themed, 18 holes, air conditioning and good music. I couldn’t keep the 3D glasses on the whole time but it was cool when I did put them on. It’s $13.95 for adults (I didn’t notice kids price) $1 off if you’re a local and $1 off if you’re over 60 or with someone over 60. Good cool, literally, thing to try this time of year.
