" My experience at Bavaro's was a mixed bag. The atmosphere was cozy, and I loved the rustic decor. However, the pizza was a bit soggy, which disappointed me. I expected the crust to be crispier, especially since they advertise a wood-fired oven. Our server was attentive, but we had to wait longer than anticipated for our drinks. I would give them another shot, hoping they can nail that pizza crust next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Bavaro’s for the first time last night with a friend and I can see why it has received such rave reviews! The pizza was excellent; the crust had a great texture and the toppings were fresh and flavorful. The service was attentive but not intrusive. The dessert options looked tempting, but we were too full to try any this time around. This was a great meal, and I’ll definitely be back and bringing family next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had read some excellent reviews about Bavaro's, and I was eager to visit. The pizza was authentic, but I found it to be too greasy for my liking. The service was decent, but I had to wait longer for my drinks. We also shared the garlic bread, which I thought was on the soggier side. Overall, I would say it was a decent experience, though not what I'd hoped. " (*Curated Review*)

" After reading mixed reviews, I decided to give Bavaro's a try for my birthday dinner. I was impressed with the service—they truly went above and beyond. The calamari was perfectly cooked and very tender. The pizza was packed with flavors, especially the margherita. It did have a slight sogginess, but I didn't mind as it was still delicious. I will definitely return to try other items on the menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have to say, I was not impressed. I ordered a risotto that lacked flavor and had a texture that was off. My friend had the pizza and sadly I had to agree, it didn’t hold up to authentic standards. The service was decent but not enough to redeem the lackluster meal. I was hopeful based on reviews but left disappointed. Maybe another try in the future could change my experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" While parts of the meal were enjoyable, I found the experience to be lacking. The pizza was somewhat underwhelming; I'd hoped for a more authentic taste. The atmosphere was nice, but the service could have been a little more efficient. On the other hand, the dessert was a standout! Their tiramisu was simply exquisite. I'll have to consider another visit for their desserts alone. " (*Curated Review*)

" I wasn't sure what to expect, but Bavaro's turned out to be a delightful surprise! From the moment we walked in, the vibrant decor and friendly staff made for an enjoyable evening. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and helped us navigate our selections. The wood-fired pizza was indeed authentic and flavorful, just like they promised! Definitely a place I'd revisit!
