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.

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.

Great Italian restaurant in downtown Tampa. Fantastic dishes, the Herloom carrots are fantastic and my wife's tagliatelle pasta was one of the best pastas I have tasted. Pumpkin spice Tiramisu was fantastic to close our meal. Will definitely be back!
