We loved this place! Definitely recommend, the flavors were amazing and as promised, authentic. We live in italy and came to yuma to visit family, and loved finding Mario and this gem of a place. If you're going into the park to eat you don't have to pay for the ticket. Wishing the best to Mario and his wife! Ciao!

Amazing meats, cheeses and sandwiches! Beautiful backdrop of the state park to enjoy our food. We can't wait to go back!

Wow, what a wonderful place! The staff is super friendly, the owner is very nice, the place is cozy, the food is amazing and very fresh with imported ingredients from Italy, they have wine, delicious cannoli and tiramisu… just PERFECT! A little gem in Yuma!

Excellent food, Mario the owner is a delight. The meats and cheeses are exceptional. Highly recommend. It’s mostly outdoor dining so wear appropriate clothes. The venue is totally a plus though.

First off, this is the best Italian food you're going to get in Yuma. With that said, I had 3 items off the Pinsa Romana selection, the Speck & Arugula, the Verdura and the mortadella. My favorite of the 3 was the Speck & Arugula because the prosciutto, mozzarella, and arugula all worked really well together. The melon and prosciutto appetizer special was also great! It's three large slices of melon covered in prosciutto and this sweet and savory appetizer is great to share. Definitely be back to try the paninis and desserts. Thank you Mario and Margaret for the wonderful service! Just to add, the pistachio cannoli is very good, the crust is hard but flaky when you bite it, the ricotta is creamy and tasty. Definitely save some room for the cannoli, it rivals the best from the East coast.

Delightful people serving great food. A must if in Yuma. Located in the Colorado River State Park.No payment needed for restaurant only.

My wife and I enjoyed our meal, which included a delicious Antipasti platter, fabulous pizza with meat and veggie slices. Mario also recommended the perfect wine to accompany our meal. Mario also provided special, friendly, and educational conversations. First time here at his restaurant, but it will definitely not be our last. Best authentic and unique Italian in the desert.

very nice quite restaurant. im glad that there is some good Italian food available in yuma. i highly recommend this place for a little taste of Italy.

I establish that I will be coming to this place as long as they are here. The wine, food is exquisite. Finally Yuma has an amazement place to relex and enjoy the food and music. I have been letting family and friends, we need to keep this delectable place in business. With all the fresh and imported meats, cheese, and wine. No disappointment here🤤😘

Very Italian, thumbs up to the owner! I would suggest plan ahead, go early as inside seating is limited, yes there is outdoor seating.

Bit hard to find, but well worth the visit. Fantastic food and wine. Get whatever the owner recommends. He's the expert. Reminded me of my best experiences in Italy

This is a gem of a place. We had a bottle of wine and fantastic caprese topped with fresh basil Mario was wonderful, personality plus!!! I bought a lovely bottle of balsamic vinegar to bring back to Canada. I can’t wait to go back and try more amazing dishes.

OMG you guys… what a wonderful discovery in Downtown Yuma! My wife and I where enjoying a stroll thru Colorado River State Historic Park today, graving something to eat & stumbled upon this charming authentic Italian deli. After chatting with the owners, Mario & Kathy and getting to know their backstories my wife and I enjoyed a wonder antipasti platter of fresh imported meats & cheeses and warm focaccia on the restaurants outside patio. Great food, beautiful setting A++++. If you are seeking a solid Italiano experience you need to check this out.

Little Italy in Yuma! Yum! An authentic Italian experience. Delicious food, unique Italian products in a special Museum atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Friendly owners Mario and Cathy are very welcoming, the food is delicious, the coffee is great and the desserts are to die for. Located in the Colorado River state park but you do not need to pay park entry fees to enjoy this hidden gem of a restaurant

Dimond in the rough, if you like authentic Italian food, flavor full food, or food that is easy on the stomach, this is the place. They have many fine wines and great pairings for those looking to take firends out to have a great experience give them a try. They need your support and are a great local yuma restaurant and business owner.

Mario was excellent in his explanation of both the food and wines, especially the wines. Everything is authentic Italian dishes and wine, I strongly recommend going a taking both your friends and family, they will love it.

As someone who has been to Italy a lot, I can say that the food here is very original and outstanding!

Access this hidden gem through the Colorado River State Historic Park. The food was authentic, fresh and delicious. The kids shared a pizza and adults split a salad and four meat anti pasta plate. It was such a unique experience. I’m so glad we stopped and supported a local business!

The very best Italian food you will find in Yuma and the surrounding area. Amazing wines, food and service. Staff are extremely knowledgeable and make great recommendations. Do yourself a favor and visit this lovely restaurant, you will return!

The attention to detail to every ingredient is amazing. The owner provided a personalized experienced, the food was the best Italian food I’ve had in the US. And the wine - it stole my palate and I’ll never quite be the same. Do not miss visiting them and getting a taste of Italy in the Arizona sun. 1000/10

The most perfect little Cafe! I tried the Cannoli and it's was delicious! The owner cooks everything himself and is a lovely person very friendly!
