" I finally made it to Bavaro's and it was worth the wait! The moment I walked in, I felt like I was transported to an authentic Italian pizzeria. The ambiance was cozy, and our server was cheerful and accommodating. We had the garlic bread as an appetizer, which was tasty! As for the pizza, I ordered the funghi variety, and my girlfriend went for the pepperoni. They both were fantastic. However, dessert was a different story; the cannoli was somewhat less sweet than expected but still good. Overall, an excellent dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Let me start by saying that Bavaro's is an absolute gem in Tampa! I discovered this spot after hearing great recommendations from multiple friends. The rustic décor adds to the authentic Italian vibe. I was blown away by the homemade pasta sauces. We ordered the ravioli with vodka sauce, which was spectacular; the sauce had a rich taste and the ravioli was perfectly cooked. My husband had the wild mushroom rigatoni, and he couldn’t stop raving about it. Our waiter, named Marco, was attentive but not intrusive, which we appreciated. The complimentary limoncello was a nice touch. We took home a jar of their homemade marinara sauce, and we can't wait to try it. Overall, this place exceeded our expectations, and we are already planning our next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Bavaro's is the epitome of Italian dining in Tampa! My fiancée and I stumbled upon it while looking for a dinner spot and were blown away. Every dish we ordered was a testament to their commitment to authenticity. The ingredients were fresh, and you can tell the chefs have genuine Italian roots. The burrata pizza is a must-try! Our service was friendly, although the wait could be a tad longer during busy hours. Their tiramisu was divine, the perfect ending to our meal. We'll be back for sure. " (*Curated Review*)

" We had a rather disappointing experience at Bavaro's. While the ambiance was quite nice, my order for the seafood risotto seemed off and lacked flavor. My partner enjoyed the pasta, so there was some level of redemption! Service felt hurried; our requests took too long to address. It's a shame since many friends spoke highly of their experiences. Perhaps it was just an off day. I'll think twice about returning soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Bavaro's is what I've been looking for! Authentic Italian restaurant with lovely staff and cozy environment. I went with my family and we were all impressed. We ordered a large variety of dishes so everyone could try a bit of everything and I must say, the calzones were a standout! Perfectly baked and generously filled! A little pricey, but definitely worth the splurge. Can't wait to return and share this little find with friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic dining experience! We came here after a long day of sightseeing, craving a hearty meal. From the start, we felt welcomed, the host was warm and inviting even though the place was busy. Our food came out promptly, and the flavors were vibrant. I enjoyed the seafood pasta—delicious and satisfying. Just keep in mind the space is somewhat limited, so I can see it getting cramped during peak hours. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is a must-visit! Every dish was authentic and well-prepared. I particularly recommend the seafood pasta—I could eat it every week! The intimate ambiance is comforting, perfect for a weekend dinner. While it was busy, the service stayed on top of everything, ensuring we had a pleasant experience. Looking forward to seeing them again soon! " (*Curated Review*)
