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.

Went with family to have some pasta and pizza. Found Bavaro’s pizza to be excellent and very authentically Neapolitan. The pasta and apps were also really great, and the service was friendly and prompt. Would definitely come back!

One of the best services I’ve ever had in the Tampa area. The pizza was awesome as well. I believe our waitress name was Kaitlyn. I cannot thank you enough for her patience, professionalism, and help.

Food was delish! Very authentic. Can’t speak much on the ambience as we sat on the sidewalk but that was our choice. Inside looked cute.

Food, service, and place were great, but the noise (voices) was too loud. Will go back for the food and service. Will try outside eating.
