Bella Vita Restaurant - (928) 344-3989

I used to go to Bella Vita all the time when they were located on 4th Avenue; I had been going there since I was about 11 or 12 years old. I had been out of Yuma for about 6 years and decided to track it back down and see if it was still good...It used to be the best pizza in town, now, it tastes like some sort of frozen thing at best. The dough was chewy and tasted like pasta, the cheese was really rubbery. My brother ordered bruschetta and got some stale garlic bread with tomatoes and cheese on it. Last I checked that's not bruschetta. I ordered a gin and tonic and got a gin with selzer water...no lime....It was absolutely terrible. I ended up apologizing to everyone because I had talked it up as "the best pizza ever" and got what was probably the worst pizza I ever had. I used to love that place, the old Italian family, no frills, just good food. Now they're trying their very best to dress it up and make it a "classy joint", but the food definitely is suffering. I was very disappointed.

THIS WAS THE VERY BEST ITALIAN FOOD I HAVE EVER EARTEN. THE SERVICE WAS AWESOME AND WE HAD THE EXPERIENCE OF FINE DING IN A FAMILY ATMOSPHERE. WE WILL BE BACK, AND PLAN TO HAVE THEM CATER OUR WEDDING AND MY PARENTS 30TH ANNIVERSARY THIS YEAR!

This is an ideal place to come to for either a date or for a family gathering. I enjoy ordering numerous dishes here and sharing them all amongst a group. I love italian appetizers, so I tend to go with the minestrone and the antipasto. The dessert is also wonderful here, they have a great selection!
