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.

    Our experience is usually THE BEST at Bavaro’s. But in this occasion (which was an early weekday) the waitress might have had too many tables, but took our order and didn’t check on us at all. Never brought us water, just the check. We were at a table outdoors. The food was overcooked. It was not a typical experience we have there, but it definitely left a mark.

    Great pasta and pizza. Restaurant is small, but they have outside tables. It is very loud inside when the restaurant is full. Service was excellent.

    The penne aka vodka is to die for. The whipped limoncello pizza is delicious and the Caesar salad is fresh crunchy and tasty. I’ve been here 3 times and always order those exact items lol Bavaria never misses hands down me and my wife’s go to spot for delicious pasta and brick oven pizza. Perfect little date night and also in an amazing area with tons of shops, eateries and bars.
