    Looking forward to our next excellent ding experience at Mediterraneo Ristorante Italiano. Reservations are simple with Open Table. A warm welcome upon arrival leads to a lovely dining table attended by hospitality professions who provided us with very attentive service while not obtrusive. The food is excellent; cold food is delivered cold and hot food is delivered hot! Numerous fine wines to choose from by the glass or the bottle. Lovely desserts, coffees, and after dinner libations. Thank you all at Mediterraneo Ristorante Italiano for a wonderful dining experience last evening,

    Always a 5 Star experience. The food and pizzas are incredible; and the best staff anywhere is always on the mark and ready to serve customers. We cannot imagine spending Friday evenings anywhere else. We travel from Bradenton and it's well worth every traffic jam and red light along the way. Thank you, Bavaro's!!

    We were there to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary and were not disappointed. The atmosphere (sat outside) was perfect, the service…. Perfect and the food outstanding! I have to mention that the pace in which our orders were delivered was spot on. We started with the appetizers Parmesan Beignets and Pickled lemon shrimp followed by our entrees of the Akaroa salmon with green goddess Tokyo turnip, butternut squash , smoked garlic whipped cream cheese, topped with a rye crunch and Braised beef, mushroom, Swiss chard , ricotta, rosemary bread crumbs,with pappardelle topped with Parmesan. Desert was Brown butter white chocolate brownie with maple apple cider caramel vanilla bean ice cream with apple chips. Just a perfect perfect evening. We will return. One of the best parts is they take reservations

    Lea, our server was wonderful! We had such a great time. I do suggest you get a full time bartender and not use a server. We waited quite some time between drinks.
