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.

Come here for pizza and pasta. It's casual, fast and loud. The space is also small. Wines are okay. They do have gluten free pasta available in penne so if you were set on the tagliatelle note it will be penne if you go gluten free. Navigating inside the restaurant is only for the svelte and tiny. Tables are packed in here and so are the patrons. Recommend outdoor seating weather permitting. Or take out. We did that for one night and just warmed the pizza up under the broiler for a few minutes. It was fantastic.

Very disappointed that we had reservations for outside but when we got there at our appointed time they told us it would be 1/2 hour wait for outside. The attendant told me that all the walk ins wanted outside so they didn’t have any seats. Very poorly handled. Server was very nice and food was good just extremely disappointed with hostess.

Hi LisaD! Our pizzas are traditional Neapolitan pizzas, the hallmark of which is a doughy crust with a tender center. We cut, season and sautee all of our mushrooms in house - nothing canned from us!

Not happy ! bavaros always impressed me but it seems that their wine prices increased ( very little pour for the quality of wine you get @12.00 a glass) and the service was super slow. We didn’t get our appetizer until 60 minutes after we got there and it wasn’t super busy. Also I ordered a caprese salad which came with only a few tomatoes. I was a repeat customer but next time I think about going out to eat, it won’t be to Bavaros .

First - thank you for being a loyal Bavaro's guest! We do value your feedback and will be sure to pass this along to our team. Unfortunately we have had to make adjustments to our prices to keep up with our supplier costs, and we have tried to keep these to a minimum. We are also being affected by the nationwide staffing shortage, and we do know this is unfortunately impacting our guests. We promise we are doing all we can to address both of these issues, and appreciate your understanding.

We were waited on my bartender in an uncootable table near the bathroom. We had reservations but no one took care of us. We had to ask everyone to find our waitress. Food was ok. The place was bustling and people were wrapping silverware right beside us just talking about off things. I thought perhaps they could help out. But no they didn’t. Food took a long time and service was bad.

Food was fantastic: from scratch and original. Atmosphere was fun: boho with lots of coming and going. For anyone checking out St. Petersburg as a possible domicile for working (not retiring), this would be a great sampler of the artsy-craftsy sector, eating great food all the while. PS: bring your dog.

Very disappointing to say the least for a supposed romantic evening. The place was busy but not short-staffed. Server (E) ran from us all evening. We had to yell at her for cutlery, condiments, etc. No courtesy or personality for a special evening. As for food, seasoning and sauces were excellent, My pasta (rigatoni) was so under cooked I pushed it to side of my plate. My wife's was excellent though. I have never been to an Italian restaurant that did not provide bread, butter or oil. No salads were offered, nothing on the menu explained or recommended. The ONLY time she asked us as she ran by how things were (10 minutes after we were served), I said "so so" and she said great and left. No Manager ever spoke to us or was even seen.

Overall a great experience on Valentines Day , highlighted by service from Moses . The special drink of the day :Angels Envy Long Island was very smooth while the oven baked wings , salad , & pizza was top notch.Only hiccup to prevent all 5 stars was the stability of table we weee seated at : very loose rocky making us cognizant to prevent spilling throughout meal, should have been tightened.
