    Offered still vs sparkling water and we got charged 32 dollars for water at the end. We have dined at many restaurants in the area and this has not happened thus far. The bruschetta was excellent and we liked the meatballs. The pizzas were burnt badly on the bottom and it negatively impacted the taste. We brought this to the attention of our waiter and he brought out the same pizza a few minutes later in the same condition. The vodka sauce was good.

    Great place to go for pizza and wings. On Wednesdays they have half price wine on bottles and on Thursday no corkage fee if you want to bring your own. Great food, great service.

    True Italian dishes conveniently located on the beach strip. Best vodka sauce ever! Accommodated a vegetarian dish request without any issues.

    Food was great. We came at a very busy time and they couldn’t find my reservation. I showed the hostess my confirmation but I still had to wait for a bit: not too bad .

    Hi Connie, we are so sorry about that! We are glad you loved the food and the wait wasn't too bad. We look forward to seeing you again!

    Long time supporter of two locations. Last night we go for dinner, as locals to support local businesses, especially after what happened to their CWB location due to the storms, and waitress and manager try to sell a 5.99 btl of wine in place of the $20ish bottle that was listed on their list for $63. Waitress lied and said they didn’t have the wine then the manager comes over and says we have it but I’m trying to move this other one ( the cheap one) at full price. We decided to leave as it certainly was poorly handled and we’re not about to drop a couple hundred dollars there - as we walk out the manager calls the cops as expressed my extreme disappointment in the experience. If a restaurant manager calls the police on an upstanding patron due to their engagement of fraud, then absolutely DO NOT support this establishment. They are effectively taking advantage of unassuming tourists - and when called out on it, they became extremely defensive. Stay far away. It’s really too bad.

    Pizza was so soggy it should have been served in a bowl. Not what I expect from this type of restaurant. Server claimed that Neapolitan pizza is this way. I don’t believe it. Won’t be going back unless I can be sure the pizza isn’t swimming in water and oil.
    Bavaro's Pizza Napoletana & Pastaria-ClearwaterResponded on May 23, 2025
    Thank you for your feedback. We're truly sorry to hear that your pizza didn't meet expectations. Neapolitan-style pizza does have a softer, more delicate center due to its high hydration dough and a charred crust due to the quick bake at high heat in the brick oven. It is actually best enjoyed with a fork and knife. We understand it may not be for everyone. We invite you to come back in and try some of our appetizers and pizza!
