Out of passion, tradition, hard work and integrity, Bavaro’s opened its doors in March 2009 as the first traditional Neapolitan Pizzeria in the state of Florida.

A company committed to the art and craft of Neapolitan pizza, Bavaro’s stays true to tradition by using hand-crafted, wood-fired brick ovens designed by third-generation Neapolitan craftsmen, a 100-year-old yeast culture, 100-year-old Neapolitan recipes, and top-of-the-line ingredients sourced directly from Italy.

From a restaurant in downtown Tampa that seats 50 guests, to a global brand with a standard of quality that resonates around the world, Bavaro’s has since built 3 additional locations and continues to commit itself to the high-quality, welcoming experience that guests all around the country have grown to love.

As a pioneer in the traditional Neapolitan pizza culture, Bavaro’s has set the standard for authentic Italian food, and has paved, and continues to pave, the way for many others in the industry.

It was extremely loud tonight mainly because of one table but seating is so close together than one table can disrupt the entire restaurant. Many people turned to look at this particular not that it made a difference. I feel staff should monitor and address these issues, like suggesting they need to relocate outside, which they did not. Food was delicious although I believe serving size has decreased. Service from our waitress was fantastic!

Bavaro's Pizza Napoletana & PastariaResponded on April 18, 2023Thanks for dining with us! Our pizzas are made in the traditional Neapolitan style - the hallmark of which is a soft tender center (best enjoyed with a fork and knife)!

it was good, the food is great per usual but our server was a bit disappointing. we went here at 5:30 when there were maybe 5 tables at most being served by other servers. our sever was standing in the back on his phone and visited the table to order our drinks, bring our drinks and take our orders and bring the food. then we waited over 20 minutes for him to come back after we finished our food to get the check. we saw him slowly service two tables next to ours and not come over and check. it took us a while to finally get the bill and we were on the way to a lightning game after and it was frustrating to see him not come to the table when we were on a time constraint.

Cozy spot for good Italian food. Service was excellent. Definitely lively, so would not recommend for quiet dinner for two. At first, they said they were "overbooked" so couldn't honor my indoor reservation for 4 and we'd have to sit outside, but after some discussion, they did honor the reservation. Would have given more stars if I hadn't had to fight for my reservation (made 2 weeks ago).

There were 4 of us and we were going to the Straz - the food wasn’t as good as the one in Sarasota which was disappointing. The spaghetti and meatballs were ok, but even the youngest diner rated them as mediocre. The pizza was good - the charcuterie was good and another had a salad that they liked.

We had dinner at Bavaro for the first time last night and really liked it! It's such a charming place - love the brick and wood accents inside. The staff was friendly and our food was delicious! We started off with the garlic bread... OMG!! I would go back just to get that! We both had pasta entrees - shrimp cavatappi and papardelle bolognese. The flavors were amazing! The only reason I gave 4 stars was because the pasta was a little too "al dente" for us. Overall, I would definitely recommend Bavaro and will return if we ever find ourselves in Tampa again.
