Best Italian Food

Although The Olive Garden has just been open for a year, it's been given the distinction of Yuma's Best Italian Food by The Sun's readers.

"I think that's just amazing," said Christopher Bedinger, service manager. "We try to offer residents of Yuma a genuine dining experience, and they seem to appreciate it, and we appreciate that."

The restaurant is a family oriented business that offers "fresh, delicious Italian food," he said. "We cater to families, and we focus on 100 percent customer delight. We're all about the food and the experience."

The Olive Garden also offers take out and large party to go menus.

"Thank you," he said. "We appreciate the business, and we're excited about Yuma's growth. ... We want to continue to offer a fine dining experience. We want to be the choice for Italian (food)."
