Bavaros in Tampa is ina small setting got me excited for a wonderful meal. The chicken parmesan was promising. The sauce was homemade and good cheese melt. The chicken was tender and had a strong blend of cheese-sauce-chicken. I give this a very good score of 8 out of 10. I will definitely be back.
Bavaro's Pizza had by far one of the best Neapolitan pizza in the greater Tampa area! I was astounded by the dedication to detail when it came to the food, moreover I really enjoyed the Rigatoni pasta, which I highly recommend! Maria was our server and she was Fantastic and gave us great recommendations :)
It's an excellent option if you like italian food, menu has options for all tastes. Located at downtown, has outside siting. My server was Ana, she exceeded my expectations, really professional and friendly, asking always if everything was good and if i need anything else. I had penne a la vodka, delicious and made to the perfection. For desert i had a Tiramisu, outsflavor. I highly recommend if you're in Tampa to go there.
Wonderful experience! Came here with my partner due to it being close to the Straz Center, and we had a fantastic dinner. My partner had the chicken parm with penne a la vodka, and I had the wild funghi pizza. Food was fresh and delicious, our server was kind and attentive. Dessert was also lovely, I had the pistachio cannoli and loved it! This is a must try place in Tampa!
This is Fluffy with Offline - Recommend this spot they aren’t stingy with portion sizes and the food is really good! Ask for Dominique he’s an amazing server! Great customer service and knowledgeable. Their vodka sauce is to die for! I had it with the chicken, soup was really good & rich! And the bruschetta was amazing! 10/10
