Bavaro's Pizza Napoletana & Pastaria

I would definitely go back to eat there again, but unfortunately I discovered that the restaurant is closed. I thought we had discovered a fantastic pizza spot! Perhaps we will try the Tampa location instead.

I recently booked a Groupon dinner reservation online through OpenTable at this restaurant that opens at 5pm. My group of three decided to visit on a quiet Saturday night. The waitress was knowledgeable about the menu and helped us choose our dishes. I opted for the pizza, which was freshly made and delicious. I enjoyed watching the chefs work in the open kitchen, including making fresh pasta. The service was good and we did not feel rushed to order. The waitress was friendly and accepted our Groupon without any issues. I appreciate the hidden location of this restaurant, as it adds to its charm. The lack of branding and the use of paper napkins give this place a more authentic feel. I really enjoyed my experience and would recommend this restaurant.

The food is fantastic, and Michelle makes an exceptional pizza. The pizza oven is brand new and really enhances the flavor. I highly recommend it!

Our waitress seemed like she was in a rush the entire time and was not very welcoming(this was our first time eating here). The magority of the interaction with our waitress was just awkward. Kitchen staff looked miserable while they made our pizza. One cook dropped something nearby us which made a incredibly loud noise in a quiet restaurant cook seemed to not even care which gave me and my wife the impression they were unhappy to be there. Also, for a restaurant that prides itself on authenticity, I was surprised peroni beer was not on draft during our visit. There's a great chance I won't visit this restaurant again.

This was my first time at Bavaros and it was absolutely delicious. The pizza was perfect and it's the best vodka sauce I've had since I moved down to Florida. I will definitely be coming back soon! Our waitress was polite and professional.
